Ok. Almost 2 days into using the Spam Karma plugin. Give the man a Nobel prize and get his code into the WordPress core.
Awesome work, basically. If you have wordpress get this plugin, no question about it, simply the best spam blocking doo-jar whats-a-mah-jig available.
If I actually had any money, I swear for something this useful, I’d part with some of it.
So long as it’s not about sodding Texas Holdem or Cialis.
I’ve installed a new plugin, the seemingly wonderful Spam Karma 2.0. While I’m putting it through it’s paces please PLEASE get right in touch with me via email (Contact Me page) if you get bounced, blocked, or accused unfairly of being a filthy good for nothing spammer.
Peace.
Hopefully.
I poke my head above the parapet of my own distractions to bring you this little chestnut of warm, fuzzy news: Girl slashed in classroom attack
Ok, so I was being sarcastic about the warm fuzzies. I left highschool maybe 10 years ago (Bloody hell. I feel old now.) I can pretty much state that the worst that ever happened was a fist fight,a couple of broken bones and a knockout. There were grudges and hard feelings but nothing that would have hospitalised anyone.
Now we’ve got girls knifing each other up in class?
Maybe this is how Rome self destructed, the populus turning in on itself and decending into anarchy. Or maybe the senate was hit by a 15-year old female knife gang…
Does anywhere in the world seem “nice” anymore? Please send me details of real estate prices and the cost of milk. Of course, it could be that the modern media is just getting better and better at bringing us the bad news? It would be silly to dismiss out of hand the possibility that there is no more wrongdoing in the world now than there was 50 years ago, except now we’re kept abreast of every single peice of it and can no longer live in blissful ignorance. I’m not old enough to say and to harp on about how “Things didn’t seem so bad when I was 10″ seems a little trite as I’d never watch the news or a read a paper and there was no available internet to tell me of the latest stabbing in Scotland, or shooting in California.
Can anyone tell me, definatively, if things really are getting worse?
…and get kicked out of shopping centres.
El Reg has a peice on some sane people being kicked out of a shopping centre. Why? They were distributing a harmless, correct and informative flyer at the same time as some Pro-ID henchmen were touring the self same shopping centre.
So the henchmen had a word with staff, who had a word with the police who had more than words with the 4 calm “Protestors”. I’d take that as an indicator that we don’t need ID cards to propel us into a police state…
Read the full article on The Register.
Because I like them and think they’re dead right, click right away to view a copy of the No2ID flyer.
Also, have a link over to the No2ID website.
Firefox is throwing an illegal exception error when I click the “publish” button. Investigation is required. I’m running the new Deer Park Beta and so far, can’t post using it.
I just hope I can find the problem fast.

Following on from the Matchbox Carchase and thanks once again to the procrastinating powers that reside in #Webdev I bring you:
He-Man does 4 Non Blondes
Despite the title it isn’t dirty (I know what you were thinking… There weren’t 4 non-blonde blokes IN He-Man…) and it’s hillarious for anyone who knows the track or the cartoon.
Genius.
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but in CS2 if you zoom in to 1600% and then try and use the SHIFT key to constrain the movement of a guide to the grid (1 pixel increments) it deletes the guide instead. Zoom out to just 1 stop less (1200%) and shift+move works as expected, locking the position of the guide to the pixel grid.
Funny that.
I also find that sub-pixel guide positioning in a raster editing program is a bit weird, but maybe thats just me.
You can’t overlook the possibility that the same guy could have been responsible for this…
… and this …
I’ve not yet found out, but if anyone knows let me know. Or perhaps let the Scottish Arts Council know… I’d love to know how much Quark paid for this too though, given this little faux pas, I don’t think they’ll be making an admission any time soon.
