The Spleen

And Now a Word From Our Sponsors….

April 6, 2006

For this entry I’m handing over to my partner, Darcy, who has something to say.. Some of you may have seen over the past week the news that specialist retailer Silverscreen DVD has gone into administration with the possible loss of around 550 jobs. For the last two years this has been my place of [...]

Parcel Farce

December 23, 2005

My other half’s mum sent us a parcel by recorded delivery over a week ago. It didn’t come, so she tracked it and rang them. They said they tried to deliver it twice last Friday but as they didn’t bother leaving a note we had no idea. So she arranged for it to be delivered [...]

I like to think….

October 3, 2005

….I’m a reasonably affable person; so when I noticed from my webstats that I’d had a couple of hits showing up as ‘hotlinks’ (image hits that aren’t page hits) I moseyed over to the site in question to see what they were up to.

Until I can get my hotlink protection working properly again I may have to start watermarking images, if there’s one thing I can’t stand more than someone else posting my hard work elsewhere on the net without bothering to credit me, it’s the fact that they abuse my bandwidth which I bloody PAY for in [...]

SpamPop

February 7, 2005

Another spam run today, and a bloody successful one at that. Somehow they managed to bypass the authorisation image completely and not have to resort to trackback spam. I’ve install the SpamPop plugin found via Caveat Lector, it’s definitely the same bunch of losers that everyone else seems to be getting. This plugin should block [...]

D’oh!

February 4, 2005

I’ve found out why I was getting trackback spam, despite disabling pings a couple of months ago. It didn’t disable trackbacks on the posts prior to me disabling it. So the spam flood started again this lunchtime. Luckily the filter caught most of it and I mass deleted. But I’ve had to spend my whole [...]

WYSIWYG

October 1, 2004

I quite like the wysiwyg editor that Blogger has built into the posting page, but I don’t really use it. I can see how it makes things a lot easier for people who aren’t familiar with html.. but by gum it’s starting to become the cause of some truly horrendous blog pages. I spent about [...]
