Blogger's CAPTCHA overuse
by ecmanaut
That's an awful shame; Blogger really ought to do better than that. You did click the link to prompt them to verify you? (I at least <i>think</i> I recall there was such a link somewhere around the message explaining the additional CAPTCHAs. Not 100% sure

We both did. Where the Google Reader people are Greasemonkey friendly and generally housebroken, the Blogger people certainly are not, randomly spray changing name and id attributes all over the place, always restructuring, rarely if ever reusing the same

Congratulations! I hope you will dig into something fun in Flock, but then I suppose chances of the opposite would be slim. :-)

Well, the blog / web tech arena is a world wide topic field, I'm European myself, and I take an active interest in what happens not only (though admittedly mostly) in the English-speaking sphere. It is a good way of driving pan-Earthen traffic. ;-) Maybe

Your work has lots of merit, and the automated leak detection is certainly another dazzling prospect. Thanks for the ecmascript hint; while I would not likely write that kind of code myself, it's a useful bit of knowledge to possess.<br><br>And happy holi
