I'll know it's helping if I can avoid the big spikes I sometimes see. I don't mind the trickle, because they're easy to scan in the Akismet log. But when I get a flood of 100+, it makes it harder to scan for false positives. I’ve had about 20-25 sneak past Bad Behavior. I’ll know it’s helping if I can avoid the big spikes I sometimes see.

I leave around 8am and get to work around 10:30am. I drive down on Monday and back on Wednesday, spending the night with family on Monday and Tuesday. Tolerable? Yes. Favorable? No. If you're heading into SF, look into Amtrak. They have a set of trains called the <a href="http://www.amtrakcapitols.com/" rel="nofollow">Capitol Corridor</a> that go from downtown Sacramento to many stops in the Bay Area. In Emeryville they have a bus connection to get you to SF or you can stay on the train until Richmond and meet up with BART. it’s roughly 140 miles from Folsom to Sunnyvale.

I live in Sacramento and am considering taking a job in San Francisco. How's the commute? Is it tolerable? How long does it usually take you? Thanks, Jason Hi Ryan,
