Boris Does It First
I wanted to send a message to Boris Johnson’s campaign for the Mayor of London. I actually sent a similar message to other candidates, so don’t imply any favouritism here.
But Boris had a new type of real-person checker or captcha, I’ve not seen before. Instead of asking to type in two obscured words, which sometimes I find difficult because of my eyesight, it asked me to do a simple sum.
So congratulations to Boris’s web site designer for being the first I’ve seen using it. It may be a lot commoner than I think. But so-what, it was the first I saw. On one web site, where I was trying to buy something the captcha was so difficult, I went elsewhere.
The Anonymous Widower 
Well thanks! I’m the web designer, and It’s good to know when people like stuff. Usually I just find out when people don’t like stuff!

Often if I see a traditional captcha, I give up, as they just annoy me. Well done for introducing it.
Did you use Java to do it? Not that I write web sites these days, except this blog, which is 100% WordPress.
If ever you need any pictures from this blog, feel free to borrow. And that applies to anybody. Provided I get a small acknowledgement.
