Akismet; Spam comments

Well, I was going through my comments that Akismet happened to catch. I am suprised at the amount of garbage that would get through if it wasn’t for Akismet.

Just going through the comments, there is things in there that are quite strange, like:

Thankfully modern penis enlargement techniques offer REAL results and empower men to add between 1-3 inches in length as well as increased girth to their penis - GUARANTEED.

Okay, so if there isn’t enough spam emails going around for penis enlargements, now bots have to attack comment fields too.

Brutal and truly shocking rape fantasies site, once you check it out 6 tgp forced Check out these awesome forced sex video will blow your mind pic transformation breeding dog forced

Now this one is quite strange. I can’t believe people actually look at that kind of stuff, like breeding dog forced and everything. Whatever tickles your fancy I guess, but I’m sure you should put yourself into a mental institution.

Now I am wondering, how many of you people actually find these bizarre comments on your blog(s) that have been blocked?

WordPress 2.5 Released

With the release of WordPress 2.5, I quickly downloaded it and updated my blog. I must say I put a lot of faith in it, as I didn’t backup my database or files, ran the upgrade and it all worked, nothing was broken. However if you decide to upgrade, don’t take my word for it, because something may break.

The administration interface is a whole lot cleaner, everything seems just perfect :-) For the people that haven’t updated yet, I highly recommend downloading WordPress 2.5.

Wordpress 2.5 delayed

Well it seems Wordpress 2.5 has been delayed again, it’s initial release was for March 10, then pushed back until March 17, then March 21. So far according to the Wordpress trac it’s a day old so far. There is still currently 256 active tickets, which I hope will get fixed up soon.

It’s good that they are holding off until it is bug free, it will probably be one of the best releases to date. I’ve looked at the sneek peeks of Wordpress 2.5, and it looks great. I haven’t personally tried it, prefer to wait for a final incase it causes havoc with Windows Live Writer ;-)

Wordpress 2.5

Well, it seems Wordpress 2.5 will be released on my birthday (thats right, today), but it will be late tonight as it’s not 17th March in the states just yet. It seems quite strange, I haven’t seen any Beta or RC releases of WP 2.5, I just hope all of the plugins are compatible with this new release.

Posting from WLW

Well, I downloaded the final version of Windows Live Writer to see how it performs with Wordpress. So far it’s working, but will have to see how this post turns out first. I hate the whole "online installer" stuff, so found the "source" msi installer for a standalone installer (offline).

So for the people that want just the standalone installer, you need to download the WLinstaller.exe and after it installs WLW it creates a temporary .msi file in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources\Install_{9176251A-4CC1-4DDB-B343-B487195EB397}.msi".

You will mostly need to enable hidden folders, as the directory is hidden, but after that copy the .msi to a folder, and there you have it, a standalone installer :)

Sweet Titles

I have added Sweet Titles by Dustin Diaz to my blog just recently, I think it looks great. You will notice it at work when you hover over any link, you will see a nice transparent box “popup” with the details of the link inside it. I think it’s a nice little feature, and uses very little code.

If you like it, and want to implement it on your site, be sure to check it out over at Dustin’s website.

On another note, I will be working on a nice title image for my blog, so be sure to check back soon.
