Blog comment logins
I've installed the Postmatic Social Commenting plugin on the jwz and DNA blogs, so now you can auth using Twitter, Facebook or Google, rather than lying to me about your identities directly. It seems to work pretty well. Let me know if you notice any problems.

Just checking we can still comment if we're not on Twitter, Facebook or Google...
I just clicked then Facebook picture thingy, and like, I wanna see if this post will show up.
In this context, what constitutes "fake," exactly?
Reachability and continuity of identity. I am not interested in entertaining the opinions of people who leave drive-by comments signed with nope@shitcock.info.
I've gone so long without buying a domain name just to have a "vanity" email address. It's been years. I've been good. But the urge to legitimately have nope@shitcock.info might be too strong.
I saw shitcock.info was available yesterday, but the punchline said by this 'nope' guy of "Sir, many people disregard my opinions too quickly; I have become used to it." is something I only figured out this afternoon.
This is Jamie's space and he's [blushes] a legend in my book -- no matter how great the lulz I imagine that would be, it's kind of crappy.
K3n.
Sir, I really was disturbed by how quickly my opinions were disregarded. And you say this is Lulz? FML, literally.

Next question - does it fix my user icon? And how easy does this make it for people to stalk me?
It appears to work. I wonder if this will lead to more commenting (frictionless login) or less (fear of revealing our banal selves, like the mutant bikers/high school teachers in Weird Science).
Will my marginal comments still make it through?
I don't think this will make any difference.
All I see after the "Or authenticate with:" prompt is the WordPress icon. I see no bookface or twitscape icon. I am logged into my bookface account as I type this, however my e-mail address and website address aren't being filled in correctly. (Somehow it's decided to use my gmail address, which is not the primary contact address on my bookface account, and the website field is blank.) I'm filling in the website field with my bookface ID just to see if it picks up my avatar image correctly.

Show it does show my avatar, but curiously it's my previous avatar image, not my current one. I have no idea why it's picking that photo.
(Maybe it has something to do with the fact that long ago I used the "jwz" facebook app to be able to authenticate here?) I'm going to try giving it the ID number of the current one to see if that makes any difference. I'm sorry if this is annoying.
Okay I screwed that up good. How about this.
Caches are foreverrrrrrrr
Okay, how about my account name instead of ID number...
Okay, fine, whatever.
Shit's fucked, captain.
filler text for your Email input isn't completely readable.
