This is the new home of Divasaurs: Divelogs of the Bizarre. This url is temporary. The old one will work again in a few weeks once I've changed the dns. I'm not doing that until I have everything moved to this new server.
Spammers have figured out how to leave comments on blogs. They started doing this around October of last year. Soon thereafter, a program called MT-Blacklist came out to fight it. Every time we get spammed, we add that spam to the blacklist and MT-Blacklist blocks any similar messages from then on. Bloggers are working together on this and the list has grown. Only a fraction gets through but it is annoying when it does.
Every now and again, like a few nights ago, a few new ones will get through and you'll see just how many they send. Divasaurs was blistered the other night with spam (Over 100 comments). Some of the spammers left 19 comments each. Every time a spam message gets through and leaves a comment, the original author of the entry gets an email notification that someone has commented on their entry.
The blog has been cleaned up and I apologize to all of those who received spam messages. This is a never-ending battle.
How was the divers reunion?
Another great day at Tommy Woo's. The weather was excellent the bugs were perfect and the artichokes were hotter than the sun. For entertainment Bennie Begley did a nose-over on his ATV. Unfortunately I missed it as I was out seeing how fast Toms new Expedition would go (it gets a little squirrelly at 120 mph). Just kidding Paula, I didn't go one mph over 110. Not all of the usual suspects showed up so it was a real intimate affair. Not even a car wreck could keep Pablo away. A moment of silence for Tony the Taurus.
GLBL nosed up this week. It's got a long way to go before anybody that I know gets to excited although if you had picked some up a couple of months ago you might be getting a little giddy. I'm waiting to go out on Tippy Kanews (read Pioneer) this week. We've got some bell guides to install down to 750' and then I think some hook up work at 450'. I can't wait til the mighty Sea Lion comes out of drydock. If I had my druthers I'd druther work on it. Speaking of the Sea Lion I finally got my book back from Capt. John R. Donovan. He only had it for four years. For those of you who haven't been following this vignette I lent him "Death in the Silent Places" by Peter Hathaway Capstick (an excellent book on hunting in Africa) with the promise he would hang on to it til we hooked up on the boat again. A couple of months later he tells me he, in turn, lent it to a friend of his. Then he tells me his friend denies he ever lent him the book. You know me, a chink in the armor and I can't help myself. I was on him like a bum on a muffin for the next four years. It got so bad he was catching fish and CLEANING them for me to get me off his back. Sitting around his house one day he looks up at his bookshelf and realized his friend was right. I'm gonna miss those fillets.
Anybody heard from Auggie Bottoms lately? Ciao, DSDE
Greetings K,
Wahoo a new site to dredge up old stories...so, go ahead, I know you've got some and you know I forgot to pay much attention to detail over the years...I always rely on the embellishment of strangers...more later.
Happy Birthday Kevin....been spanked lately?
Best to keep images under 100k in size. Larger images take a long time to load and do strange things to the appearance of the site.
