# I just had my first actual spam comment (correctly held in the spam queue) since re-opening them. The number blocked by Akismet (and therefore not even hitting the spam queue) isn't rising very quickly so I think I'm still operating under the radar of the bots. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

# I think I've found a stupid mistake in my extended directory code that has been adding the wrong feed URL for some blogs to my dynamically generated OPML file. Hopefully, I've sorted the problem but will need to wait for some webmentions to come in from different blogs to check.
It has meant doing a bunch of find and replace in my commentmeta table to correct those wrongly entered.
If you had previously grabbed the OPML file from the /directory page then I apologise. It should now be okay and, with any luck, stay that way.
# So, you really are now one in a million 😆
# I'm trying not to go all Gollum on the iPhone X but "me wants it" - it's a shame it's not available until 3rd November but I suppose that will give my carrier time to get their act together.
The 'X' will, no doubt, take a bit of getting used to having no home button but it's not so much a learning curve (it all looks pretty logical) as re-training the muscle memory.
Still, now the announcement has happened and the GM build of iOS 11 has been properly released I've decided it's time to put it on my 6S Plus.
# The re-training has started already. I keep trying to use 3D Touch to trigger multitasking but that’s no longer a thing. 🤦♂️
I seemed to recall seeing something to that effect at the start of the betas and just hoped that it would make a comeback for older phones. Obviously not.
@colinwalker I have opened comments quite a while ago and have had only good experiences so far. Akismet so far has caught everything and haven't regretted my decision. Still it feels commenting on Blogs is not as common anymore as it used to be.
@svens That's good to hear. Commenting definitely isn't as popular as it used to be and we have the social networks to thank for that. Hopefully, we can start to reverse that trend a bit.
