For the first time in a while, I looked through the spam comments Akismet caught. I have to say, spammers have gotten more creative with what they write, going into what seems to be a proper comment (but the website URL/email is so obviously bogus). Had I thought about blogging about it before deleting all the comments, I would post some for you. The general gist of the comments are like this, though:

“What a great post, but it doesn’t look right on a Mac. Take a look at it: (URL)”

“Nice post, but would’ve made it longer. Keep up the good writing, etc etc.”

And other things of that variety. I don’t know, maybe it’s because it’s so late at night and I’ve been so sleep deprived lately that I found that pretty interesting. For those of you who own blogs, do you ever read your spam comments? Do you get any that are pretty interesting and convincing sounding?

Yes folks, The Catholic University of America has been closed since Friday. This is our fourth day with classes cancelled! I get the feeling that we’ll have to make up all the snow days at the end of the year, but currently I am totally goofing off and not doing any work at all. Terrible idea, I know, but still! Snow days!

I’ve also been considering getting back into the scanlation world. I used to be an editor primarily for ShoujoMagic when I was in high school, and I tried doing editing jobs with other groups too…but eventually quit when the workload from school got to be too heavy for me to handle the workload from editing. I’ve applied as a Quality Checker at one place that I like so far, so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully my photoshop skills haven’t gotten rusty in terms of editing…heh.

Speaking of which, I was contemplating switching to Habari as my blogging platform. WordPress is great and all, but it is a bit bulky for me and I don’t use a lot of the awesome features that comes with it. It might encourage me to actually design the next theme for my blog too. Who knows how long we’ve seen a design from me now? Over a year?

In any case, let’s hope that the snow ends soon. It’s a bit tiring to just see white through my windows all day.
