Adblock Plus For Firefox
When you use the Adblock extension for Firefox (which is quite a good extension, don’t get me wrong), sometimes a very bugging advertisment appears in a layer which shows no content and therefore no “close”-button, so you can’t get rid of that damn advertisment to read the content of the website (as happend here). I switched to Adblock Plus, and see: no more bugging advertisement – it’s all gone! … Read entire article »

First Work Day After Holidays / New Training Program
Had my first work day after my holidays today… my worries were unnecessary, it was a nice day. Well, that’s the way I am: always anticipating the worst, which almost never occurs. I have just returned from my fitness center (see www.kenpokan.de) where I got a new training program. Well, I haven’t started it yet, since today I was very tired (I only had 3 hours of sleep last night). But I am very excited about it, and the conversation with the trainer was very interesting. Maybe I’ll have a second meeting to discuss nutrition – I definitly need a lesson concerning my way of eating… it’s bad as bad can be. … Read entire article »

No eMail-Address Provided In Comment
I just received a comment on “Pirates Of The Carribean – Dead Man’s Chest” which provided no eMail-address. How is this possible? I tried to leave a comment myself without an eMail-address, it didn’t work… the browser showed “please fill in the required fields” – as it should be. So, how did the author of the comment mentioned above manage to provide no eMail-address and still send the comment? Strange… … Read entire article »

How To Include Your Flickr Photos In WordPress

Tim’s Comeback
Finally, my good friend Tim Engelhardt decided to start a comeback with a weblog (in German), after having no homepage at all for months (or let’s say years)! Check it out and support it at www.engelhardt.be, as it is currently still under construction (in my opinion, it will grow faster as he might think). … Read entire article »

Bandnews.org
I just happend to find bandnews.org, where you can select up to 100 bands. The service then collects news (via webrobot), and you can subscribe to them via RSS-feed. Registration with user name and eMail is necessary. nfortunately, this did not work so well… I can only add up to 5 bands, and my RSS-reader (which is Thunderbird) denies the URL because it “is no valid RSS-feed”. I have written a letter to the webmasters. Maybe they can tell me what went wrong. … Read entire article »

Fighting Spam In Your WordPress Blog
August 14th, 2006 | View Comments
OK, after I received my first spam comments (see this post), I decided to do something about it. And as I am using worpress 2.0.4, there is a quite simple solution: Sign up for a user account on www.wordpress.com. As soon as you have created an account, you will be sent an eMail with your individual AKISMET API key. You do not need to have a blog created, but… hey, why not? It’s for free! If you have requested a blog on wordpress.com, you can get the API key from the “Edit profile” page if you need it again. Just enable the AKISMET plugin, then go to the AKISMET configuration and type in your API key. That’s all. Now you can see all spam comments that AKISMET has caught under … Read entire article »
