Ricardo’s Blagardo March 5, 2005
Posted by Andy Roberts in : ultraversity , trackback“Ricardo’s Blagardo” is the name of Richard Millwood’s blog, which is naturally worth keeping a look out for, him being the acting director of Ultralab, the people behind the Ultraversity degree course I’m half way through.
Last week he posted an enticing article called “British Council Seminar” which ended with the following:
“I plan to blog each day of the course - just like buses, none come for ages and then seven all at once!”
But then no further blog entries appeared, which could of course be for any one of a number of perfectly good reasons. I decided to post a comment enquiring as to whether the planned seven blog entries had been cancelled or merely postponed but when I went to save the comment I got the following error:
Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:
Type the anti-spam text exactly as shown.
Please correct the error in the form below, then press Post to post your comment.
but there isn’t any ‘anti-spam text’ and there isn’t any entry field for it either.
So it’s impossible to leave comments on Ricardo’s Blagardo, and trackbacks are not enabled either. Hence this entry here. Maybe somebody will read this and fix it. Maybe Richard will explain what’s happened to the seminar blog entries.

Hi Andy…. crikey…. sounds to me as though anti-spam technology has been only half implemented. I think Pete Bradshaw enabled the spam-filter… I don’t know what happened after that. I imagine, if the MT site has an anti-spam filter enabled, then something will need to be applied to all blog sites running from that server. Hang on… you are running off this server… how have you escaped anti-spam measures!?
Whatever you have done, will need to be applied to Ricardo’s Blagado I guess.
I wouldn’t know what happened to the seven blog posts, but you might look at a Plone site that Richard created for the event… perhaps Richard decided a better place for seminar notes/reflections/comments would be here?

Oops. Yes, when I set up the anti-spam I didn’t do anything on richard’s blog as it wasn’t being used. I need to do one thing or the other - either turn it on or remove the check.
thanks for the heads up.
Pete - I alerted this to you a while ago remember? I thought you had already fixed it - maybe it ‘broke’ again - could that be possible? I never went back to try to post again.
(how odd - talking to Pete on Andy’s blog - modern communication…)
All fixed now - and there is a resumé of the seminar too. Ultraversity featured as one part of the seminar and was well received rasing a lot of interest.
