Snowed again last night. At least it snowed here on the north side o' Durham. The rain/snow line seems to have been somewhere around the Freeway and by the time you get out towards the airport it looks like it never snowed at all. But at least this time there weren't any hellacious traffic jams. And for tomorrow, it's sleet. Or freezing rain. Or whatever. My fave forecast is the one that's predicting "ice pellets." And we're just about a year out from last year's big winter weather event. The weather around here may be unpredictable but at least it's consistently unpredictable.
Meanwhile, there's good news in the war against potted meat products. Google and others (inc. MT) have come up with a way to prevent comment-sp*m from boosting page rankings. Like Sarah, I'm not sure how well this will work as long as there are thousands of sites left abandoned and un-updated just filling up with comment-sp*m. I assume the theory is that if c-s'ing the highest traffic sites stops providing any page-rank benefit, it will reduce the effectiveness enough that potted-meat practicioners will move on to something else. Altho if they come up with something new it will no doubt be even more annoying.
