Got back from Paris early yesterday afternoon.
Checked my emails, eventually, to be greeted with this:

Any guesses how many were spam?
448\. Nearly 500 spam emails in five days. Gah.
And of the others, just over 100 were about spam comments on the various blogs floating around here. So I’ve done some fiddling with them (everything should now be working, by the way) to try and stop the spam. It does mean one extra step when commenting (you have to preview the comment first), but it shouldn’t be too intrusive, I hope.
