Dubious Milestone: Spam 10K

Just the other day, I noticed that my Akismet Spam filter for the blog had blocked it’s 10,000th Spam comment. That’s a lotta spam.
It’s amazing to me how much Internet bandwidth must be consumed by spam-bots posting to blogs and forums. The official Akismet website hosts a segment they call the Spam […]

MyOpenID and Wordpress

I just found by chance today a new service, and a wordpress plugin for that service!
The service is MyOpenID.com, which provides a persistent login mechanism across websites which support the technology.  This allows you to provide only your MyOpenID.com user account name to sign up for certain sites/services.  This “single-sign-on” technology can greatly reduce […]

Evaluating for a new site

I’ve recently decided to move the blog, and give it a bit of an overhaul. So I registered a new domain and over the last day or so have begun to plan out the new site.
There are a few things I would like the new site to do other than simply host the […]

Flickr vs. Photoblog

Over the last couple of weeks as I’ve been ramping up to do the whole “fancy new camera” thing, I began to realize that my free Flickr account probably isn’t going to cut it as far as volume of images, and flexibility for things like set creation etc.
At first I just assumed that I’d […]

Bum Rush The Charts — Results & Ramifications

After the initial results from last Thursday’s Bum Rush, the charts continued to roll for the next three days.  I’d like to thank those of you who participated.  Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff has published the top results from  more than 15 countries, and the results are extremely positive.

I’m in. Are you? - Make your mark for Podsafe Music

On March 22nd an illustration of the power of citizen-journalism and the reach of the blogging and podcasting community will take over the Internet… well at least the iTunes music store. There’s a movement afoot called Bum Rush the Charts to drive a track from a podsafe artist to number one on the […]

Wordpress Upgrade Script

For those of you who run your own blogs, and take care of the updates yourselves, I’ve created a Wordpress Upgrade script.  Note:  This is a Linux/Unix/Mac OS X shell script, not a Windows batch file.
The script is very simple:

Download the latest Wordpress archive from the website
Uncompress it to a temporary location
Migrate all of […]
