Salim borrowed my old PowerBook Lombard the other day, and when he returned it, he brought over an identical Lombard. Both laptops would not boot up, however, giving me identical error messages.

I finally got around to installing SecureImage to deal with comment spam. I had been using SpamKarma for some time until it started spewing PHP warnings all over the place. We’ll see how well the new system works to prevent spam floods on the site. My old version of ImageMagick…
