Wanderings in Virtu and Verity

Downhill from the start

I got my first comment spam today. The only thing to be happy about is the delay it has taken. It was on my old blog. I saw it because I have an RSS feed of the HaloScan comments I used with Blogger. It’s been quickly deleted so I hope the search engines didn’t index in the last ten hours. I don’t want some dodgy place getting the benefit of my blog. If I like a dodgy place then I’ll write about them and let them get the bonus to page rank that way. I looked but failed to find a setting at HaloScan to disable commenting. It’s been long enough that all those comments should be closed, but still readable.

Changing the subject, I have a cold coming on. Last night I noticed I had a dry cough. I had trouble sleeping and woke up a few times. This morning it has reached my eyes and nose. Looking at the symptoms I realise what I thought was a mild tension headache yesterday was part of it.

Cold Symptoms

  • Starts gradually
  • Slight temperature after first 24 hours
  • Normal appetite
  • Slight headache
  • Stuffed up or runny nose with sneezing
  • Sore throat
  • Feeling tired

This is not what I want to experience. I guess starting the week this way is better than starting the weekend this way.
