Hiding Spam Comments

( Work and Geekery )

Thanks to an article from SANS ISC, I have been working for the past two weeks on a new spam-reduction technique for WordPress.
It’s really simple, only 2 lines of code, really.
The first is in the comments.php page (if your custom theme doesn’t have this file, use the one from the default theme).
Around line 80 (right […]

Zombies and Football.

( NOLA )

No, this isn’t a comment on America(ns) as a disconnected (or overly connected) society or anything equally over-written or potentially self-aggrandizing. There is an actual link (as much as one can make, I reckon).
Yesterday, there was a certain point late in the third quarter of the Saints/Steelers game that I totally lost interest. No, It […]

Biiiissssscooooooooo!!!!!!

Basso is now a member of the Discovery Channel Cycling Team.
It’s so fitting that one of Lance’s biggest threats is now taking the helm of his team. Basso is a stand-up guy, and I’m glad he’s captaining “our” team.
¡Viva Basso! ¡Viva Disco!

That’s brutal.

( the telly and Music and Amusing )

In addition to the aforementioned Dexter, I have a new tv show. It’s a cartoon called Metalocalypse on cartoon network’s [adult swim]. It’s brutal.
According to co-creator Brendon Small, “The show is basically about a (half-American/half Norwegian) metal band (Dethklok) that is about a million times bigger than the Beatles. But a million times more dangerous […]

My brain is fuzmy.

( Amusing and Work and Cycling )

My morning was looking up. I felt awake and alert. Ready to be productive.
Then I took a hit of the Robotussin, to help with the removal of phlegm left in my lungs from my extended weekend sickness.
Well, that was dumb. I feel fuzzy, and I still have work to do. Blargh.
Well, barring evening fuzziness, Lara, […]
