Pinkerton Manor

Pinkerton Manor recieved its first spam comments recently.  Go team!  Long story short, I’ve turned the captcha back on and will be investigating ‘better’ captchas.  On the plus side, at least it reminded me that I haven’t posted in a while.  I’ll be remedying that shortly.  Right now I’m slow cooking curry.  Yum!

ETA:  I’m going to stick with my current captcha, reCAPTCHA.  It was featured in this months New Scientist.  So, nerrrrrr!

Big news!  I obtained new emoticons.

I’m still ironing out the bugs on a few other elements of the blog.  For example, I’ve been told that the captcha for the comments sucks.  I actually didn’t think it was that bad, but I’ll look into what else is available.  And tomorrow I’m planning on taking a few photos to make a fancy new header image.

Also to come, photos of buttons.  Everyone loves buttons.  Don’t they?

ETA:  The comment captcha has been turned off.

I had intended to post a number of things before now, alas life got in the way. My boyfriend, henceforth known as Lord Adlington (his choice), and I moved house rather unexpectedly. Long story short, circumstances led us to realise that we weren’t happy in our old flat and fate led us to our new one. Our new flat is the front corner of an old Queenslander. It is utterly delightful and I look forward to posting photos as soon as we have finally finished unpacking.

In other news, my good friend Darren at RapidHosting kindly helped me out with some hosting. I now reside at PinkertonManor.com (which currently redirects here). I’ll be roadtesting WordPress in my secret blogging labrotory in the next few weeks and hope to officially launch Pinkerton Manor soon.
