Updated to the latest of mt.. 3.2b4. This build is really close to the final release and includes new spam blocking features (including trackback.) I have to say I have not really had spam in quite a while, but I have been getting on average of 30 trackbacks a week. Since updating a few days ago, none. Seems pretty solid and feature packed. Time for wb to dump the forumns and switch 
On a side note. I have uploaded a butt load of pictures to my flickr. Including pics of nara, himeji, kyoto (with geisha) and some other stuff. fun fun fun <たのしかった>
