Switched to reCAPTCHA

Switched over from Math Comment Spam Protection to reCAPTCHA. Spam has still been coming in despite the Math Comment Spam Protection plugin. I decided to take reCAPTCHA for a spin for a few weeks. Hopefully it helps.

What is reCAPTCHA?

You need a CAPTCHA differentiate human from computers. There are many other CAPTCHA programs available today, from numbers to whole phrases. Almost every website with registration, comments or basically any sort of forms implement some kind of CAPTCHA to keep spam bots at bay.

I chose reCAPTHA because it’s CAPTCHA function not only stops spam but also helps in the digitizing of books from the internet archive. It does this by adding OCR unrecognized words into it’s CAPTCHA images for users to solve. Sometimes the CAPTCHA gets pretty scrambled and can be hard to read. To aid users an additional word gets added to the CAPTCHA image which has been previously solved. A user normally only needs to get the solved word correct, the unrecognized word will be compared against answers from other users and the most accurate one then gets picked.

You can get the reCAPTCHA WordPress plugin here.

AMBP Coffee Therapy for Bloggers

Me, WingLoon and Abi were at the recent AMBP Gathering “Coffee Therapy for Bloggers” held at Starbucks The Gardens, Mid Valley. This was AMBP’s first offical gathering so nothin much was planned for the day. We has some coffee, laughs and alot of Hi and Hellos. Not to forget freebies, movies tickets,  mouse pads,  pens, etc….

Like AMBP this was my first bloggers gathering but I felt that the whole thing did not quite work to plan due to the location. Starbucks was small and crowed with chairs. Most of us sat and got into our comfort zones. Communication came to a halt….

My recommendation for future events would be to make them more interactive. Some games,quizes, workshops, brown bags would really bring the event to live. This is the first time and I’m sure the organizers will have more plans for future events.

Bloggers I met;

• May Ong
• Jason
• AndyMervinGeorge
• HuayPhing
• Shaunng
• Devince
• Wilzc
• Ivan
• Angelic Kelz
