Comment spam at new highs

March 29, 2008

Clear­ing spam in blogs have never been more eas­ier thanks to Akismet. Click “delete all”, and all hun­dreds of spam com­ments will go poof. Why don’t spam­mers real­ize is that spam­ming no longer works the way it use to? Looks like they still don’t, and increas­ing the bulk of spam isn’t going to make things […]

Firefox 2.0.0.13

March 26, 2008

 
Fire­fox dished out yet another update in just a few weeks just a few hours ago (25–26 March). There isn’t really much changes added in this update, mainly secu­rity updates.
It’s rec­om­mended that you update to this ver­sion of Fire­fox as some of these fixes help patch up secu­rity holes that could leave your com­puter vulnerable […]

Entrecard controversy

March 23, 2008

My ear­lier post on Entre­card didn’t cap­ture much atten­tion — it was a plain old bor­ing post about a few Entre­card contests. The sec­ond one did bet­ter (tech­ni­cally the third one, but since the first post was rejected any­way for being too con­tro­ver­sial…) - funny to think that Entre­carders will feel so uncom­fort­able at hav­ing sug­ges­tions for them to […]

March 19, 2008

 
Word­press 2.5 has been delayed, but it should be released within the next few days. The next sched­uled release is on the 21st of March, accord­ing to Word­press Trac. Already, some fea­ture changes are now quite vis­i­ble, par­tic­u­larly the revamped admin­is­tra­tion panel.
Cur­rently, Word­press 2.5 have been released as a Release Can­di­date. By all means try, […]

Absurd PageRank allocation in Firefox

March 12, 2008

 
Update: Iron­i­cally, this doesn’t show up on the Google tool­bar for Fire­fox. Pretty odd, ain’t it? 
Looks like Google is show­er­ing a whole lot of PageR­ank juice on Mozilla.org. Alone in the Add-ons sec­tion of the site, over 800,000 pages have a PageR­ank of 8, as if the PageR­ank on these pages are spoofed.
Here are the fol­low­ing pages […]

Wordpress 2.5 due in one week’s time

March 11, 2008

 
Looks like the next update for Word­press 2.5 would be delayed by another week (i.e. to be released on 17th March instead of yes­ter­day). Accord­ing to the Word­press trac (the sys­tem which tracks Word­press devel­op­ments), the new ver­sion of Word­press is about 60% com­plete, with most issues addressed.
The new release of Word­press 2.5 con­sist mainly […]

Entrecard opens up blog to contributors

March 10, 2008

 
I might be a lit­tle late to announce this, but I’m going to do it any­way. Entre­card has decided to “hire” reg­u­lar blog­gers to con­tribute to their blog. This is prob­a­bly a per­fect oppor­tu­nity for any blog­ger to try their hand at guest post­ing (if they haven’t).
In order to reg­is­ter as a guest blog­ger on […]

Guest posting and the lot

March 7, 2008

In order to spruce things up a lit­tle, I’ve decided to make guest post­ing more avail­able to the pub­lic. This means that you can post here on this site, with­out even need­ing to reg­is­ter an account. This whole thing is cur­rently being tested, but it works. Guest post­ing allows you to pub­li­cize an idea, or […]

Yet another story on plagiarism — Friends turned plagiarists

March 2, 2008

 
I feel utterly dis­ap­pointed that there are some who do copy from oth­ers… and prof­i­teer from it. It’s even more dis­ap­point­ing if they are your friends. Well, looks like I have to live with that for now. Pla­gia­rism is noth­ing new. Some­one makes a iden­ti­cal sound­ing thing off you, and attempts to profit. But it […]

Q2 2008: Silent February update & Webmasters Central">PageRank Q2 2008: Silent February update & Webmasters Central

February 29, 2008

 
Google is sure quick in updat­ing the new PageR­anks — this time 2 months faster than expected (well, the update is just 1 month away from the pre­vi­ous, and the expected cycle is about 3 months). Though, the update is once again… sloppy and prob­a­bly incom­plete. Though, you should be able to see a change in […]
