Spam. The ongoing battle.

  • 1 Feb, 2005

The one downside to WordPress I’ve found so far is the spam issue. Whether it’s in the comments or now in the trackbacks. However, this is a small price to pay for WordPress and there are workarounds. I think I’ve stopped the comment spam by adding the ‘preview’ button to the comments. This involves a […]

Comment Spam! Someone help.

  • 30 Jan, 2005

When I installed WordPress I also installed spam stopper. That worked pretty good until recently. So far today I’ve gotten 30 comment spams. They are all moderated so the public doesn’t see them but it’s still a pain in the butt. Can anyone suggest a good spam stopping method? Since spam is all just bots […]

Creation of MacThemes includes Me

  • 21 Jan, 2005

As I was checking out the sites (via RSS) that I do on a daily basis I came across the history of MacThemes.net. I skimmed though the article on how the basis for the site was thought up and created and what did I see? Me! 😀 They were nice enough to mention my brief […]

Safari Firefox Theme

  • 20 Jan, 2005

I’ve been looking all over for a good Safari theme for Firefox and finally ran across one that has potential. Ran Aroussi has created a great Safari FireFox theme that has a lot going for it. Not only does it use the Safari buttons, it also adds in brushed metal. Granted it’s still under construction […]

Toy Story 3 Without Pixar

  • 20 Jan, 2005

Disney has decided to go on with Toy Story without Pixar. The sequel happy company already has a script for Toy Story 3 and probably is already working on it. I doubt it can be as good as the others seeing as they took out Pixar and Disney sequels don’t do that great. However I’m […]

Technorati Tags

  • 17 Jan, 2005

Technorati announced Tags the other day. It is a way to categorize blog posts so others can easily find them. Systems like WordPress already have tags in the form of categories, however you can add more tags if you want. It’s really a simple idea, however I’m not having the best results getting some blogs […]

Reviews: Open Water and the Village

  • 16 Jan, 2005

We watched a few movies this weekend. One was Open Water and one was the Village. Open Water is an independent film made with no crew, no hair and makeup people and on a limited budget. Knowing that it makes the movie even better. I thought the movie was kind of slow, but pretty good. […]

Review: PilotMouse Optical Wireless

  • 13 Jan, 2005

I got my PilotMouse Optical Wireless just before Christmas and I was all excited. I got it at BestBuy and it was good deal. I really wanted a Logitech mouse, however I was looking at features and price. I wanted to spend under $30 and get wireless and optical. The more buttons the better too. […]

Kensington PilotMouse Issues

  • 10 Jan, 2005

My PilotMouse issues linger on. I bought this ultra cool mouse at Best Buy, where I got a really good deal, about a month ago and my happiness level is still so so. It looks sweet, has many buttons, is wireless, optical and so comfy. However it’s on screen performance lacks. It seems to be […]

Yea! A Background.

  • 10 Jan, 2005

Finally, after thinking to hard, I added a background to my blog that allows for the main content area to be as long as the menu area on short posts like this. (post page not main page) It has been bugging me for quite a while but I finally figured out that I’d done it […]
