I've begrudgingly accepted solitude as an inevitable part of my life. The hardest part of doing things alone is finding validation. I tend to hold myself to unrealistically high expectations, and I'm always doubting the decisions I've made. I'm not sure if I'm over this whole phase in my uncertainty in my life, but I do feel like in the past few weeks I've made definite progress in not being mired in such self-doubt. Why is bringing comfort to myself so difficult?

Ugh, looks like the spammers decided that my temporary victory over spam was short-lived. They've now turned to registering accounts and abusing the skinning feature to redirect to a site of their choice. They then send out the Tabulas URL when they spam, which makes Tabulas look bad. The thing is that they're actually validating the accounts, so a human is registering, clicking through the email, and then going to the skinning page and creating a new template to redirect.

The only way I can battle this one is to make my template parser smarter and to manually check all new user registrations on a given day. Ugh, more time.
