August 2007 Archives

Until recently I had taken this blog offline. Aside from my being incredibly busy with Melissa, the day job, and minor problems with blog mail notifications, the single greatest reason I haven't been blogging was the onslaught of spam.

Initially I had set up the site so that comments would be posted without my reviewing them. I received the occasional spam comment offering male performance enhancement, videos of things I didn't want to imagine, and of course, mortgage refinancing for born-again, lesbian gamblers. While annoying, the volume of these types of comments was manageable for a while, about five or six per entry.

I'm happy to announce, that after a 17 month hiatus, Alan's Skew is coming back online. As many of my family and friends already know, there's been a lot of changes in my personal life. I'll be posting a few select details as the mood strikes me in the coming weeks.
