Dammit. After working so well, my comment spam tactics seem to be getting less effective. Some jerk managed to slip several through the cracks today. They’ve figured out the link limit. Crap. Now I need a new idea.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I’ve had a look at it, Jason, and we may be able to do something with that. As written, it looks like it just checks for keystrokes and then writes a variable to a hidden form field. It would be completely trivial for a hacker to look at your site, though, and just add the additional field to the query they’re sending. So I don’t think it would work for very long. The Snook thinks there may be a different way to use it, though, involving some sort of “hash” or something. I’ll post if it works out.
There’s a “keystrokes” plug in for Movable Type that basically looks to be a simple Javascript under the hood…can you implement the plug in within your stuff?
