Jay Allen takes a break, and myself, and many others are being pounded by spammers. His last update seems to have been 2004-10-30 16:18:38+01:00. Since then, it’s been a nightmare. At least 50 since I went to bed last night (at 2:00 AM). Now at 10:00 (no morning classes, so I slept in until 9:00), I’m cleaning up from a few hours sleep.
There’s got to be a real solution to comment spam.
I’m still considering switching to WordPress since I know PHP rather well, and use a nice CAPTCHA system to protect the blog.

Why are you having such a problem? Are you using old entry and max URL moderation? I’m having absolutely no problem and I rarely even add domains to my blacklist anymore unless the domain in question is really hammering me.
