It’s LIN-you-ex

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Since I installed Spam Karma 2 (SK2), I’ve been an absolute fiend about checking to see if any spam has been harvested. Before, I’d get about 20 “please moderate such and such comment” emails a week… Sometimes more.

It’s been so effective, I have to write about something else, I suppose…

So, here’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days (besides working, of course):

  • Working on a CSS-only (read: non-table) version of my resume
  • Looking for a very lite content mangement system for the site’s static content
  • Fixing overheating issues on the other computers laying around the house and playing family System Administrator
  • Playing around with a second-hand copy of SuSE Professional 9.1

Bring it on…

Sunday, July 10th, 2005

Ok, now that Spam Karma’s installed, I’ve turned off the Users must be registered and logged in to comment option.

Let ‘em try to comment.

Mwahahahahahaha.

Spam Karma

Sunday, July 10th, 2005

Dr Dave has published Spam Karma 2 for beta testing.

I’ve installed it, and will discuss its efficiency in the future.

edit: Wow, just looked at the options. I wish I would have found this plugin earlier.

Neener, Neener, Neener

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

Anyone who really wants to comment may do so. You just have to register.

For what it’s worth, your efforts are in vain anyway. Every link you have posted on this or any WordPress blog is tagged with “rel=nofollow”. For those of you interested enough, read this blog entry on the Google Blog.

I have three words for everyone who wanted to use my site to pimp their online casinos, cialis, viagra, phentermine, or what-have-you: neener, neener, neener.

Spammers Suck Ass

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

Welp, it was bound to happen — some scum-sucking morons have found out that I have a blog. I’ve tightened up security around here, so we’ll see how many get through. Perhaps I should be grateful as I think they’re the only ones reading it.

Clip Art

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

The gratuitous use of clip art just pisses me off.

It doesn’t add value, dilutes the message you’re attempting deliver, and it’s (quite frankly) inane.

There’s a time and a place for a clip-art bunny. Say, orientation for your pre-school program.

I’m sure there’s a 12-step program if you have a problem — think of this as an anonymous intervention.

B3ta v. David Sullivan

Monday, March 21st, 2005

I’ve been lurking over at b3ta for some time now.

…and, for the last five minutes I’ve been attempting to describe it. Wikipedia, as always, does an excellent job.

Anywho, David Sullivan is a rather unsavory chap (think Larry Flynt without scruples) who reprinted a number of b3tan’s pics without permission or credit. That just pissed me off.

So, in hopefully true b3ta form, I present my crap attempts to show how trully reprehensible Sullivan is.

I’ll be able to post them to b3ta on Tuesday. Woo, yay!
