Can you answer Kellybean Trick question of the day ?

Today I decided to fix my Blog comment spam problem. For every post I would do, I’d get at least 2 to 3 comment spams. It sucks as there are some legitimate comments (for example nick’s). So I found the remedy: Akismet. We’ll find out soon if this really works …

Tonight I started writing a post about Windows Media Connect and these guys and how I think they managed to make an application that pretended to be Windows Media Connect on the Mac. I haven’t figured out how WMC works completely (yet) so don’t get your hopes up. However I have found out a lot about it a few months back.

So I assumed it was covered by the DMCA fair use but in absence of a lawyer I decided to not publish that post (yet)…

Anyhow, I am also trying out the trackback feature in WP. Sean, did it work?
