It shook the bed and rattled the wardrobe. Associated Press reported it as the Second largest UK quake since 1984. The BBC reported it as the biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years.

The rest of the house slept through it, including the dog!

Of course, for old timers on this blog, this isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned earthquakes :-)

This birthday comes just in time for the fantastic announcement from Matt about the future of Automattic and WordPress.

WordPress goes from strength to strength each year, and it has come an incredible distance since the beginning. Matt and the team at Automattic really do a fantastic job.

Many happy returns!

All the best.

That’s an incredible amount. I didn’t think more about it until I spotted that Darren Rowse blogged about “The Blog Tool that Has Saved Me Months of Work” referring to Akismet having caught 2 million spam comments for him. He calculates that it has saved him over 46 days of moderation time.

Wow! That means it must have saved me 23 days effort, using his calculations. If I include the 200,000 or so it has caught on the other blogs I manage, it’s an awesome amount of time saved.

I have to agree that Akismet is a fantastic tool, and second his comment to encourage you to pay for Akismet if you are getting a great service out of it.
