Spam Karma and Wordpress 2
Thursday January 19th 2006, 2:54 pm
Filed under: Personal

If you updated WordPress, and did not make it to Spam Karma 2.1, you may have some problems. I certainly did. The comment counter was not being updated, so it always said 0 comments, even when you were looking at a few comments just below that notice.

Apparently, you must be on Spam Karma 2.1 to resolve this. This also means going and posting a dummy comment to all your 0 comment posts, then deleting it, which will recover it all back to normal.

As a side note, this plug in is simply amazing, check it out, it just works™.

It is getting *this* bad

I do not have a heck of a lot to say about this, other than it is getting out of hand. Aside from the ghosted overlay type message, this is not that far off from where we are heading. Anyway, was bored, has PhotoShop open, and this resulted. Seriously, do we really need to be told what we are watching? And the damn network logos that always obscure whatever it is I am trying to read… yes, damn you Discovery Channel.

Double your bandwidth, for free

So here is what I am thinking. Buy a Xincom Twin WAN router, hook my Comcast 8000/768 line up to it, and be no better nor worse than where I am at today. Next up, get ahold of an old PC, and drop in a wireless card. Bring in any of the three moron neighbors connections that are wide open, pipe it back out the Ethernet port on the PC, into the Xincom. I should now have, my bandwidth, plus theirs, and so long as I pick the moron on Comcast, my upload should be around DS-1 speeds, (aka T-1). Sure, there is a little hardware investment, and it is probably illegal, but what the heck, just to see if it can work I may have to give it a try. Mac Mini seems ideal for this, quiet, small, cheap.

What I do wonder, can I still use the Mac Mini for other things? It is in essence, acting as a small ISP, or a gateway, and I am just not sure how the Xincom will bridge it all. I have a feeling, to get to the Mac Mini, I may have to actually leave the LAN and go out on the internet, which would be less than ideal, kind of a waste of a box.

myspace.com image hijack virus

Ok, not really, but sort of. I geek out on my server logs all the time, I like to see who came to the site, from where, what they searched to get there, all the basic stuff. The interesting one is how much traffic myspace.com is sending my way.

I won’t even link to those douche-bags, as myspace is something, that out of principle, I have decided to despise. What’s interesting, is they love to link images on their pages, profiles, whatever the hell you call them.

Went to MWSF, I could not have said it better, so I wont:

Rejecting the RDF

In other words the platform is now a real mess. But hey, new iApps. Look at the shiny, try not to listen to the massive sucking sound coming from Cupertino.

i am not even going to explain it, the image is enough. Probably a total waste of time to bug report it as well.
