It’s so nice to wake up to a smiling face every morning.

I’d honestly prefer some intangible riches (something like love).

I tried a few things to stop spam on my website and nothing worked completely. So, I decided to add a CAPTCHA to my site. ReCAPTCHA was my captcha of choice.

The thing is, unlike most websites that use XHTML, my website uses XHTML and is actually output as an XML document instead of an HTML file (except in Internet Explorer, where up is down, right is left, etc.)—this is the correct way to use XHTML.

So why is this a problem? Apparently, many programs, reCAPTCHA included, use JavaScript that is incompatible with XML. So when reCAPTCHA tries to display its funny text and a nice text field, not a damned thing shows up (again, except on Internet Explorer).

The end result: only Internet Explorer users can submit comments on my website…how backwards. I suppose I’ll fix this in a few days.

This isn’t any revolutionary thinking, just a reflection on something I was ruminating about on my ride home from school.

People who drive gas-guzzling trucks make gas more expensive. They do so by using more fuel to get from one point to another than a car with better fuel efficiency would use. More fuel used leads to a higher demand, which creates higher prices.

Then again, I’m not helping anyone by driving 70 miles to home every weekend.
