That way, the three skyscrapers contending for the tallest will stand out maginificently. I can't wait to see the Torre Mitikah once it's finished as well. I'm sure it'll be a sight to behold. Make sure to keep us posted. Thanks for sharing that! All the best to you! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://whiteoakdevelopments.blogspot.com/2015/06/sunshine-coast-shopfitting-tips-that.html" rel="nofollow">Conrad Carroll @ Whiteoak Developments</a>Conrad Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129681827194732284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-92008030455240820842015-04-25T21:53:06.498-04:002015-04-25T21:53:06.498-04:00I just posted a comment on "Babsblog", a...I just posted a comment on "Babsblog", and all I had to do was identify numbers... no food pictures.

For the food bit, you have about a dozen choices and you have to click all that are cake, or hamburgers, etc. Given that Wordpress' Akismet works perfectly without any of that nonsense it's rather surprising. <br /><br />It's also not that easy. On the hamburger one, I didn't click something that looked like chicken salad on a hamburger bun, but it turns out Google thinks that was a hamburger. So I had to click again. <br /><br />I have a blogger blog which is simply a test for me. There's no content, but I wanted to understand what my blogger/blogspot friends were dealing with. I too turned off the word verification, but it won't go away. Apparently that's a bit of a bug that Google is working on, but it isn't yet fixed. <br /><br />The galling part is that after dozens of comments where I've proved I'm not a robot, you'd think that Blogger would just let me through. Nope. Gotta identify food now. <br /><br />Supposedly adding Disqus is easy, and for the reader it allows him/her to read your replies on any page that has disqus. <br /><br />Anyway, just a thought. Saludos.

Babsblog suddenly started with the "prove you're not a robot" thing at the same time that it started with my blog. <br />As for the dozen pictures... that I REALLY don't understand. I just signed out of "Blogger", and then went to my blog to try posting an anonymous comment. Yes, I had to prove I wasn't a robot, but it was just the normal picture of house numbers.Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-41825278332507321462015-04-25T10:30:33.345-04:002015-04-25T10:30:33.345-04:00Have you ever thought about either : A) putting Di...Have you ever thought about either : A) putting Disqus on your site as a commenting system? Or B) moving to wordpress? The "prove you're not a robot" thing on blogger is getting ridiculous. Now you have to review a dozen pictures and pick out which ones might be soup or cake.

Let me tell you, *MANY* towers are planned. Which makes me think that real estate in the vicinity of Reforma (Condesa, Roma, Cuauhtémoc, Juarez) will be a good investment. The thing that keeps me cautious is the likely further decline in the exchange rate when the Fed finally raises interest rates.<br /><br />And let's hope that something taller than the Torre KOI is planned for DF. We can't be upstaged by the provinces, after all. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where the city tries to keep buildings short.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
