It's sort of a friendly brain teaser for the holidays. :-)

Since trackbacks don't seem to work:

Very nice. :-)

I never got around to implementing trackback. This blog wasn't a "real" blog until I finally gave in and added an RSS feed and comments, and by then everyone was turnning off trackback support due to spam, so I figured I wouldn't bother.

Is it worth implementing now, or will it just be a pain? My commenting system is already a big spam target, so that's enough hassle for me. :-)

Well, I don't get any trackback spam on my blog.. maybe a little.. I don't remember any.. <shrug/> It's just convenient in this case.

I tend to not get any more trackback spam since moving my blog to Textdrive and it sits behind a well-maintained mod_security setup.

Shouldn't that be s/ss/s/? (Note the trailing slash.)

Nice geeking out, though!

I know what is it. It's implementation of a future captcha verification :)
