I just switched (in the last two days) from tDiary to RubLog. tDiary
is decent, but doesn't have nice English support, and there is little
that seems that can be done to support preventing comment spam.

RubLog doesn't have any comment facilities at all, so ... The bigger
problem with RubLog is that it doesn't have a web-based input
interface, but that may change with the Ruwiki integration converter
that is being worked on. This could also be used to provide a comment
mechanism, but that would take additional work.
