When I post to my blog, or post a reply to others, I have to enter a security code. How is this helpful? I mean, if someone was on my computer pretending to be "me" how does this stupid code do anything? Sorry for my ignorance, but I find it not only annoying, but one of those relatively useless..., ok a waste of time. Who are we kidding? What kind of "security" does this code actually offer? Anyone? On a VERY positive note, I got my sorry self in gear and wrote up a spring schedule! Woo Hoo. Long overdue is an understatement. But I needed to get my feet under me at work, get a feel for the treadmill, etc. I can deal with the treadmill during the week. Now that it looks like weekends may cooperate with training efforts, I am on board. And no, I am not usually this much of a wimp. But this winter is, in scientific terms the suckiest. So we do what we can.
BTW - the pic is of my nephew and son doing "foot farts." Yeah, it is good to be a young boy with no cares. I am so proud. :)

Do you mean the word verification? It's designed to guard against spambots, who leave nonsensical comments using scripts but can't enter 'llqyx' into a textbox.
The guy who invented that spoke at U of T recently. I wanted to protest.
Lately I've had trouble reading some of the word-verification strings because they've started using weird font. Either that, or I'm really getting old.
What I don't understand is why I have to login with a (google) username/password and do the word-verification. One form of ID is plenty, thank you. These aren't state secrets here.
Both the verification and the login (to prevent anonymous comments) are optional. You can undo one or both.
