Shanktified!

I’ve finally updated the template.. I still need to get in there and tweak it. I first saw this at What in Tarnation.  Hopefully I’ll update it soon so they don’t look identical. But I don’t think we shared readers.  But, that’s the problem with getting a templates from a blog you read regularly. Which bringing me to my next stop on this train of thought: RSS feeds. All my favorite blogs (and news) are in my Google reader, and I’m wondering, will the day come when no one sees your theme?  I’m sure I’ve missed half a dozen theme changes from Tony just because I subscribe to his feed.

Gotta run.. but more on this soon.

When I get time, I’ll be loading one of these themes…  modified some.

ha!  Did I say when I get time??  Oh well.

… and just in time for Christmas!

I’m testing Dr. Dave’s Spam Karma and within 5 minutes, I caught a spammer. The “making people register” idea didn’t work for real people and didn’t even stop the bots completely. So, let’s give this a try.

I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve grown tired of the spammers.  If you want to comment, you’ll have to log in first. I know, it’s a pain.

Rest assured; I’ll never give your email address out to a third party (or even a second party).  While we are on the subject, I don’t really like parties at all.

If you think I’ve made a mistake - I value your opinions.  Especially from those who’ve disagreed with me in the past.

FIREFOX USERS MUST UPGRADE NOW. Click here.

Computer code that could be used in cyberattacks on Firefox users has been released, increasing the urgency for people to upgrade to the latest version of the Web browser.

The two pieces of exploit code, posted online earlier this week, take advantage of a security vulnerability in Firefox that Mozilla patched in an update Thursday. In response to the exploit release, the browser maker on Tuesday upgraded the severity rating of the flaw from “moderate” to “critical,” its most serious rating.

This is kinda neat. Stick a pin in my map. It seems to use only zip code to place the lable, but its close enough. From a privacy and safety standpoint that might be better anyway.

I’m really tired of deleting spam (even though you never see them) and thinking of requiring people to register to post comments.

Whatcha think?

I’ve been posting half-thoughts (many of you may be suprised to know I ever have a complete thought.. but i digress) and they are in draft mode waiting for me to get the time to complete them… who knows when that will be.

Found this at Joe Powell’s site (while I am at it, welcome to my site Joe; thanks for commenting).
