I’m dealing with another bug that’s hit me, so I can’t move far away from the puke bucket today.  Instead of trying to accomplish anything outside the house I’m going to probably spend most of the day sitting right here with a puke bucket by my side trying to figure out a way to finally fix the comments on this blog without screwing everything up.

It’s like something has completely gone screwy with the database tables, and things that should go through aren’t while things that should be prevented are going through.  It’s a big mess, and because of the comments database being screwed akismet isn’t working.  Valid comments are being spammed while spam comments about stuff like ring tones and finding an immigration lawyer are posting as approved comments.

I’ve been working on this for awhile now with no luck, but I think it’s about time to deal with the fact that I may have to just lose all comments and start from scratch. I’ve tried using a couple comment plugins, but they don’t work. I even tried using Disqus, but with the comment system being so screwed up I couldn’t even get the plugin to install. I don’t know what’s up with it.
