I wrote some posts on my other blog I wanted to show you guys:
Computer use and back problems
WiFi conflicting with wireless AV
Also, we have a Black Hat defection this week. Esrun has announced that he’s quitting Black Hat, and will be doing more White Hat coding and stuff. Welcome to the light side! Maybe we should have a wiki page with names of defected black hats?

I mange to remain spam free using similar techniques to IncrediBILL.
Layer one - bad behaviour
Layer two - automated shut-off of comments and trackbacks after 14 days using the plugin mentioned by shoe
Layer three - another plug in that automatically moderates comments with more than five day’s inactivity
Layer four - all comments containing hyperlinks result in automatic moderation
Layer five Akismet
Result? No spam.
