KruXoR - October 2022 - Newsletter
Maybe i should convert this into a monthly newsletter, as this seems to be about the amount of time it takes me to get motivted to write another one of these posts! :)
Its kind of a anytime news letter.
Spam is annoying
I have been getting quite a lot of spam lately in the comment system. Its just bots filling in the comments, and its getting quite hard to filter it. I use the google recapture with server side checking of the key, but the spam seems to still get through this somehow. I have disabled the comments for now.
I tried adding it to discus but its just an iframe comment system, which is a bit annoying and not really what im looking for.

Sub Spam
Subscriber spam, they (the bots) even seem to submit emails to this so i cant tell if its a real email subscriber or not. I replaced this with a very ugly subscribe form from mail chimp, but its really just annoying.
I will just have to manually filter these emails i think.

My cat died this week, she had a long life for a cat i think 22 years. There is a widget with her gif video on the side of this site. I may do a page as well, but i guess that is a bit weird.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
