Much Better

I feel that this blog has been sick for some time what with the deluge of comment and referrer spam. In addition, there have some sticky details that have been causing that itch in the back of my throat for some time. With a few … Read More

Writer’s Block

I regret everyday that passes that I do not write here. Blogging has a natural calming effect, I think, as I spill my thoughts into the browser for all to see. I can give excuse after excuse for not writing more, but I guess it … Read More

Spamtastic!

They never stop! What do these automatons hope to accomplish? Better PageRank? Certainly not increased traffic, as their fake comments are a bunch a crap. Its an annoying nuisance to say the least, and I look forward to WordPress v1.3′s new anti-spam capabilities. I currently … Read More

Site Updates

A few changes to note for purposes of posterity: * Separated PingBacks/TrackBacks from comments. Special thanks to “Eric Meyer”:http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/wordpress/mw_comments_trackbacks.html for that “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org plugin * Updated the Latest Comments plugin to ignore un-approved comments (like those from spammers) and PingBacks/TrackBacks * Fixed broken link on the … Read More

Spammers Beware

Word to wise, Mr. Spammer! You cannot spam this web site any longer. Your bots will fail, thanks to a new comment spam plugin that eliminates your frivolous posts.

Bad Blogger

I have been slack on my effort to post, at a minimum, once daily. I have been slammed at school and work. So much to do, so little time. I will try to do better.

WinIE Tires Me

!(alignright)http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/takebacktheweb_large.png(Get Firefox)!:http://getfirefox.com/ Because this site serves my whims, I can pretty much do as I please. Given that, I am tired of having to fix all of my perfectly fine CSS/XHTML to work in the broken browser that is Microsoft Internet Explorer, so all users … Read More

Awesome LiveSearch up!

I decided to take a break from house renovation work today and install this new “LiveSearch”:http://blog4.bitflux.ch/wiki/LiveSearch functionality (which was “adapted”:http://binarybonsai.com/archives/2004/09/25/livesearch/ by Michael Heilemann of “Binary Bonsai”:http://binarybonsai.com/). It works very similar to how “Mac OS X Tiger’s Spotlight”:http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/spotlight.html works. Upon entering a search term, it automatically … Read More

Drab side-bar

I am displeased with my side-bar. It is very unoriginal and boring. It offers nothing new to the imagination, and I hate that. With the exceptions of blocks 1, 4, 6, and 11 (I’ll let you count them), I plan to come up with new … Read More

Weirdness not actually weirdness at all

It just dawned on me what I was witnessing when I “first started blogging”:http://www.sensoryoutput.com/archives/2004/06/26/new-comment-after-post/ with “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org: “PingBacks”:http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback and “TrackBacks”:http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/beginners/. For some reason, WordPress groups these together, placing them all in the comments section. That is why after some of my posts I found new comments … Read More
