Yes, I disabled the comments on the blog for various reasons:
1. I had to deal with spam. Too much spam. Freaking tedious hours wasted removing spam.
2. Maybe less than one percent of you read the comments anyway.
3. Comments get in the way of the article itself. They should be in a separate page/place to avoid drawing the attention from the real content.
4. Too many trolls logged in as "anonymous" saying not-nice things about me and my family.
5. It doesn't matter what you do, they just look ugly on the page.
Comments will be coming back at some point when Google+ takes over (you can read this post here of me asking Blogger for some deeper integration with Google+), but for now they will stay off.
However, that doesn't mean that you can't communicate with me regarding one post. Every single one of these posts is shared on Google+, so you can add a comment there and I will answer as always. There is a catch though; you have to follow my Google+ profile in order to find the posts :(
Hope this doesn't bother too many people.
