SPAM…seriously, WTF!

No comments

I’ve been getting a lot of spam comments here lately, a LOT. Akismet has been catching them all so there isn’t much effort involved in deleting them but damn…what the hell?! Here are some images from today, marked up with aviary.com’s new Chrome extension, which I first read about on Techcrunch.    The plugin I [...]

I just had to finagle the “embed” code that Facebook provides when you select the option for it. Here is the code that Facebook provided when I selected the “embed video” link on one of my videos: <object width=”576″ height=”324″ ><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” /><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” /><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.facebook.com/v/xyz” /><embed src=”http://www.facebook.com/v/xyz” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”576″ [...]

Contact form spam – wtf?

I really like the simplicity of setting it up. It also provides a lot of flexibility. Due to tonights spam, I finally had to install a [...]

Installing Wibiya

No comments

I signed up for Wibiya a while ago, when I read about it on a tech blog (of which I can’t remember at the moment). I quickly got an invite and it sat…for a very long time. Busy with life and in the “neglect the blog” phase I suppose. I’m finally getting around to installing [...]

Holy sheep shit! I just fixed a known (to me) bug in the vox-crossposter WP plugin I wrote a LONG time ago. All I changed was the character encoding from $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′.”\r\n”; to $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8′.”\r\n”; If you look at the second “known bugs” list at http://www.acedanger.com/vox-crossposter, you will see [...]

I’ve been trying to make use of the Shared Items in Google Reader and show them on my blog. I’ve tried a couple of different RSS widgets without success, until this morning. I found a widget that will display the feed correctly. It is called Google Reader widget and was written by James Wilson. The [...]
