To the individual who thinks it funny to use my feedback page to threaten me: Your IP address and information collected from the server logs is being turned over to law enforcement. Since you live across many state lines from me, you have committed a federal offense. Time to rethink that whole “typing while under …
Nice. Had a “Reservoir Dogs” feel to it.
Occasionally I get yelled at for being inaccessible. I don’t understand it, but… anyway, I finally got my Google Voice account set up, and cleverly added a “direct to voicemail” button at the bottom of my “About” page. Click the “call me” widget, insert your name and phone number; the service will call you and …
Seriously, when your own security system tells on you, you’re doing evil. Nice work, Google. “Of the 383 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 11 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s hit “reply” to a newsletter, just knowing that my words would fall on deaf ears, but needing to get a gripe off my chest. Generally, whatever brings me to that point also leads me to cancel my subscription to that newsletter. Case in point: I’ve subscribed to …
A very nice update – not much changed from the visitor’s standpoint (basically, nothing!), but the admin bits are very nice. This little “Quickpress” editor could have a few more features, but it’s quite a handy way to drop in a short note. WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane”

Here’s the comment I just posted to ResellerRatings: Wrong item was shipped (I believe the problem is the manufacturer part number mix-up, not NewEgg’s error), called for RMA. Explained similar problem I have still not resolved with another company, CSR was *very* sympathetic and …
Just a minor rant, as I clean out the trap of another spam filter (gmail, this time) Awhile back, I had subscribed to the MinutemanHQ.com (link deliberately left out, if you want some of this, find it yourself) newsletter. All was fine for quite some time, but then I noticed I started getting the same …

I’m still amazed at the effectiveness of the anti-spam security tools in place here. Akismet is the most “proud” of the lot, and rightfully so… “Akismet has caught 2,000 spam for you since you first installed it. You have no spam currently in the queue.

Maybe it’s just a coincidence, maybe it’s “Bad Behavior” doing a better job lately. I don’t know, but there’s been a huge decline in comment spam filtered out by Akismet lately, and then I read this… damned good news. ‘Spam King’ Arrested and Charged – News and Analysis by PC Magazine A top spammer known …
You’ve seen the commercials… “sign up for our service and get your free credit report now!” You’ve probably also heard that the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) are required by the Federal Trade Commission to provide you a copy of your report every year, for free. Do you know that the …
