It’s Authentication Time Down on Fascination Street

I had a long post about authentication systems and yadda yadda yadda. Decided that it was too full of ammo for the haters.

I’ve finally turned on Typekey. If you want to comment, you’ll need to sign in. I’m also moderating all comments. I expect differing opinions. I also expect people to be relatively civil. If your comment doesn’t appear after a few hours or so, I’m approving all of them until a trusted list gets built up. Thanks for your patience. If your comment doesn’t appear after a day or so, it’s likely that it sucked.

And thanks for reading and participating. The recent comment threads have been full of ideas, stories and passion. I couldn’t ask for more. Fantastic.

    Man. Like I must really be a fan of yours and Dooce’s sites, coz it took all frikkin day for Typepad or whatever the hell it’s called to validate me. I ended up sending an email for help. Like it’s not rocket science to sign up for an account.

    Their reply was :

    “We’re currently experiencing technical difficulties and please try authenticating your account later.“
    Phew. I began to think I couldn’t handle a simple task anymore.

    Why were they experiencing difficulties?

    Hell. The way I figure it — is probably coz of all the people required to get an account to comment on Blurbomat.

    What? Off topic? What the hell. I earned it dude. After going through all that today, JUST to frikkin log in — I figured I earned a spot to post Happy Christmas.
    So. Happy Christmas.
    Or Happy Holidays; whatever rocks your world.

    P.S. Don’t blame you for moderating your posts. I hope you’re even handed with controversial (yet not abusive!) comments though. A little friction always attacts good debate. But, then you already know that, dontcha;).

    Okay, I see my name being taken in vain ’round here.

    Yes, I am obsessed with Chuck. But, you know, just as friends. I have no desire to find out just how expressive his anal glands are.

    And what’s the point of goin’ around in chaps if one can’t stick one’s hiney in people’s faces? If I can’t shove my ass up in y’all’s faces, then I’m puttin’ my pants back on, dammit.

    Bucky, just as friends? Really? Just like you are with my cats, or Hermione?

    Deeeeeennnniiiiaaalllllllll.

    And we already know your bloggin with no pants, but I love how you manage to work that in to your comment in such a way as to seem outraged, but I know deep down your giggling and saying, hehehehe no pants, they know I have no pants on hehehehehe.

    I sent you that damn trench coat for a reason mmmkay? Use it.

    Oh Jon, I am sorry that your lovely and family oriented site has to be the victim of a buttcheek fly by, Bucky means well, she just can’t help it.

    Hey, in my defense, I’m in a twelve-step program:

    1. Step away from the dog.
    2. Step away from the assless chaps.
    3. Step away from the monkey.

    etc.

    It’s too late for me to count to twelve. And I only wear the trench coat on the high holy days.

  • http://www.reformedstrippersanon.blogspot.com JessicaRabbit

    If your stepping away from those things it’s only because your stepping towards something else.

    I know your tricks, wench. And I am keeping an eye on you.

    And so is Jon.

    Now be good before he has to moderate us both, oh yeah, he’ll moderate us really good. Heh.

    The only thing I’m stepping toward is the edge…the edge of Immature Cliff.

    Oo-o-o, I LOVE Project Runway– such drama, such angst, such frivolousness.

    I want to be IN!

    Enjoy reading you and Heather regularly although just recently discovered you. Thanks for the invite.

    Oh please please please don’t let the comments here get all clique-ish like Dooce’s did!

    I’ve been reading this thread, and all the comments and biting my tongue. It has been very interesting to see all the differing viewpoints. I want you to know that I fully appreciate your choice to moderate comments, I was quite surprised by more than a few!
    My son is having brain surgery on January 3rd, 2006, for Arnold Chiari Malformation type 1. My husband and I are.….terrified. We trust the surgeon, it’s the thought of brain surgery. I have been on the phone, endlessly, with the insurance company trying to find out what financial responsibility we bear through this. We’ll go ahead with surgery no matter what, but are trying to avoid the “Oh! That’s not covered!” conversation we’ve repeatedly had with them over the course of physical, speech and occupational therapies for our son. While he’s recovering from brain surgery, is NOT the time to be worrying about monstrous medical bills rolling in unexpectedly.
    Thanks Blurb, for addressing this topic, however hot the button may be. People need to think, and act.

    Oh, and.…Dooce looked great in Glamour! So did Chuck. I didn’t know they were going to be featured and I about fell off the couch when I turned the page and found them there. You’d think I just found my long lost sister. And her dog.

    Thanks for allowing comments — it’s always interesting conversation here.
