I went to my first ever "meeting of the blogs" yesterday evening. I go to meet a number of bloggers that I knew, such as Charles Kuffner (
Off The Kuff), Ted Barlow (
Ted Barlow), Rob Humenik (
Get Donkey), Larry Simon (
Amish Tech Support ), and
Michael Croft, and
Ginger Stampley. Most of them seem to have known each other for a while, but they were nonetheless very pleasent company and did not make me feel like an outsider at all. It did remind me that I definitely seem to be the only blogger in Houston that could be considered conservative. Larry Simon may be another one, though. I'm not sure how well I fit in with their plans for
world domination.
A few non-polibloggers were in attendence as well, which often helps keep the conversation from getting ideological. Fellow techster
Mike,
Erica,
Dave, and the delightful
Elaine were all present and accounted for.
I look forward to the next one.
Regular posting will resume later on today.
UPDATE: Elaine took
pictures.
Here's two including myself.
Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
