Friekermann
I see many versions of the spelling of my name, which in German is quite ordinary. A phonetic equivalent like Speakerman is the most frequent one. Last week in Boston, however, the lady at reception may have wanted to make a statement. Or she simply couldn’t read the type in my passport.

Posted by: Andy at April 14, 2008 8:19 PMGood to hear from you, Andy.
Like every other comment, yours went straight into the spam filter. I need to check that a few times a day, or commentators get frustrated. I do intend to move over to WordPress very soon hoping that things will be better there. It certainly works well for our office blog.
How’s things in Belfast?

Posted by: tom at April 15, 2008 8:58 AMA nice fresh install of 2.5 & Askimet dealing with your spam and you'll never look back! If you're ever stuck just fire me an email and I'll do what I can!
Things are fine here, although all is quiet on the typography front - planning a return trip any time soon?

Posted by: Petra at April 15, 2008 10:33 AM@ Andy:
Askimet is installed but filters out almost everything. Like all the comments on this page ended up in the junk filter, whereas some of the comments for the Helvetica entry came through, but not al of them...
@Eric - I've never, in all my years of running multiple Wordpress installs, had anything but spam caught in Askimet. Maybe MT is making it feel uncomfortable :)
Posted by: Andy at April 15, 2008 6:17 PMThat's half the reason why I’ll be moving over to WP. We also have a lot of tools ready that we’re using on the project blogs in the office.
