Sorry about that. Done. Did you want to post an article as well?
Also I was testing it on my development server so I could update Geeklog.net and I noticed that I keep getting an error message of the captcha being expired when I enter a captcha for a comment or a new user (that is all I tested the captcha on).
With logging enabled I also get the message in the captcha log file:
CAPTCHA: Detected an attempt to use an expired CAPTCHA in comment - IP Address:
This was an upgrade from 3.4.0 I believe and the previous version was working.
I also checked the captcha table and their is a record with the correct captcha code and I assume the correct session id.

I sent you a new archive. A $_CP_CONF['expire'] was missing. Everything seems to work now on my testing platform.Ben

Feature request:
For some reason Google has stated crawling my installed captcha plugin:
/captcha/captcha.php
/captcha/captcha.php?c
When accessed directly if produces the error (which Google complains about in Webmaster Tools):
Invalid session id
Can we return a 404 error if it is accessed directly? Geeklog 2.0 has the new function COM_handle404 which is used by all of the core plugins.

As COM_handle404 function seems to be only available for Geeklog 2.1 I will add this feature in the next release.
In captcha.php file start by:
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'captcha.php') !== false) {
COM_handle404();
}
meanwhile we can add in the curent release
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'captcha.php') !== false) {
die('This file can not be used on its own!');
}
