My little post about how much data weighs has been getting a lot of attention ever since I posted it in a Slashdot comment. Well, not really a lot of attention, but it's gotten over 100 hits this month, which puts it up in the top 5 pages on the site. In the course of investigating where all this traffic is coming from, I noticed a lot of requests in the logs for /blog/addcomment. Now, perhaps a lot of those are spam, but I figured I've held off on anonymous commenting long enough. Since there's no way I'll be able to do it properly anytime soon, I put in a bit of a hack that lets people post comments without authentication. This probably means I'll have to go through the comment table to weed out spam posts, but whatever, at least it should be interesting...
