I plan on moving this site to another webhost this week, so there will be some downtime. I may also switch blogging platforms… Anyway, don’t be alarmed if we are down for a while, I have to do some gnarly things to start preparing for the move.

I just hacked together an Atom feed with full, formatted entries (plus inline graphics), because I felt guilty for putting it off for the past three years or so. I tested it briefly and it seems to work fine in Bloglines. You can find it here: http://www.cosmicbuddha.com/blog/atom.xml Alternatively, you can subscribe with Bloglines by clicking here.

So the latest trend in comment/trackback spam is furniture. Ceiling fans, wood flooring, wood cabinets, etc. May I just point out the fact that this is retarded. In addition, the very latest spam was about “oral herpes genital pictures.” Now that is some sick shit. In a perfect world, spammers are Tokyo and I am Godzilla.

Although I have no idea why you would want to do such a thing, for the next couple of months (until the registration expires), you can reach C. Buddha’s Hasty Musings through the alternate domain: http://lepetit.us So end my aspirations of putting up a French midget foot fetish blog there.

A recent comment from an entry on my moblog: “I HAVE BEEN BUYING YOUR WOODPECKER CIDER FOR MANY YEARS AND RECENTLY GOT MY BOYFRIEND TO ENJOY IT WITH ME AS HE DOSENT NORMALLY LIKE CIDER BUT ENJOYS YOURS VERY MUCH!!UNTIL TODAY WHEN I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF YOUR WOODPECKER CIDER 2 LITRES WHEN I POURED HIM A GLASS AND A HUGE FLY CAME OUT OF THE BOTTLE!!!WE WERE VERY DISSAPPOINTED AT THIS AS WE REALLY ENJOY YOUR CIDER.” – DEBORAH CLARKE // Deborah, That isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. PLUS, COULD YOU PLEASE STOP SHOUTING IN HERE!!HURTS MY EARS.

What the hell? (see comments at bottom of that page) May as well have some fun with it, I guess.

Some asshole spammer is spamming blogs with a link from my blog (details here). He’s spamming my readers/commenters, it seems. I apologize for this. I have nothing to do with the spam being sent. But I still feel very bad about the people getting spammed. On the brighter side of things, SPAM spelled backwards is still MAPS.
