Comments, reCaptcha

May 2, 2008 7:24 PM | | 5 peeps are talkin'.

Comments should be working again. That reCaptcha plug-in really messed things up and I did not completely remove it when I thought I had, hence all the commenting issues.

Thanks for your patience

That's an interesting camera you ordered. Nice resolution, 10mb should let you do some enlargements if you want, optical zoom is good. People tend to forget optics these days.

I don't know that brand. I'd look it up but I have no bucks for cameras right now anyway and I can drool in ignorance. One of these days maybe I'll scrounge for a new Nikon. The "Nikon" bit isn't a status thing, I just want to use the lenses I already have... if I had the money for status it would probably be named Hasselblad. Right now I have an old Lecia Digilux that really sucks. So it goes, suckage in hand has an advantage over glory in the bush, it's long-since paid for.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing some awesomely high resolution pics.

Party on!

I guess you have reCAPTCHA fully disabled now cause I didn't see it.

You might try hooking it in just before the actual posting logic, at the common place where Preview and Send meet.

Whatever. Later.

boots sez: "new Nikon ... lenses I already have ..."

From NYTimes Technology:
"A Camera With a Range So Big, No Extra Lenses Are Needed"
Nikon's Coolpix P80, due out next month, has a huge range: it's wide enough to capture a group in a living room, and long enough to read a baseball glove's brand out on the diamond.

The reCaptcha plugin for Movable Type required me to modify some of the perl code. I had forgotten that, so when I thought I had disabled it, I did not remove or comment out the changes to the script. THen there was a setting in the blog preferences that had to be undone. Forgot about that, too.

Movable Type is powerful blogware, but it's not exactly for the aging and forgetful among us techno weenies.

As for where to hook it in, the common place for send and preview is the Comment Form template. That is precisely where the hook was. The first issue was that I did not have the gekkografx domain in the reCaptcha license. I had only lizarddreams.scribblinlizard. The scripts run on gekkografx, so while it worked on scribblin, when it went to preview on gekkografx, it denied access.

I added gekkografx, but then the scribblinlizard did not work because it was not seen as a valid sub-domain, being as it is registered as a domain in and of itself. I was too lazy to go figure that out, so I tried the uninstall route documented above.

Geek speak makes my brain hurt.
