Maybe Not Russian

September 10, 2023

In the previous post, I identified my spammers as Russian, because much of theirs spam was in Cyrillic. But since I cleared my Pending file and erased everything in the spam file, and only enabled comments on maybe half a dozen topics, I’ve been getting a little trickle of spam that seems to be in […]

Six Thousand Russian Spam

September 5, 2023

I apologize if you tried to post a reply here in the last few weeks, because as your post was waiting for approval it was buried under nearly 6000 Russian spam. I was delating the spam as fast as I could, but I could only delete one spam from the Pending file at a time, […]

Screaming Oppie

August 31, 2023

I finally saw Oppenheimer, and it’s an absolute achievement of a film. It’s not to be enjoyed— there’s very little joy in the movie— it’s to be experienced. A terrific script, an absolutely great ensemble of first-rate actors, and it’s surprisingly faithful to the history. Lots of special effects, but none are CGI, they’re old […]

Injure. Heal. Repeat.

August 24, 2023

I’ve been having a frustrating time with one leg injury after another. I’m guessing it began three years ago, when hip replacement surgery resulted in a tilted pelvis, which resulted in my right leg seeming longer than my left. Also, because my spine wanted my head to remain atop my torso instead of pointing to […]

Time Off

August 18, 2023

I’ve spent the last four days at a cabin in the Sacramento Mountains, a property shouldered up against the Mescalero Apache reservation (who, contrary to standard practice, managed to get some very good land out of the American government). The cabin is about 100 years old, and is owned by the extended family of Louy, […]

Darkly

August 15, 2023

The artist Dark Crayon, who last year did a fine cover for the Czech edition of Hardwired, now provides this cover for Voice of the Whirlwind‘s Czech edition. The title has been shortened to Whirlwind, which is appropriate, I think, for all it loses the Biblical reference. Find it wherever fine books are sold (near […]

Unspam

August 10, 2023

So today some Russian spambot dropped 257 spam into random topics on this blog. (How do I know the spammers were Russian? Many of the spam were in Cyrillic.) Fortunately WordPress puts posts from strangers into a single “pending” file, so I was able to spend half an hour or so dealing with them. What […]
