Incessant Expressions

Normally I never pay attention to the ads Google places inline with my emails in Gmail but today, I got a real kick when I checked an email from Dark Horizon Records about a new sale going on to see some pretty humorous ads Google decided to give me:

Sorry for the tiny thumbnail but the [...]

I’m starting to get hits from splogs (spam blogs) that do nothing more than aggregate your feeds and steal your content (PROTIP: there are WP plugins to stop this) in order to jack up their PageRank and make money from AdSense. They’re just as bad as MFA (Made For AdSense) sites. They’re also [...]

Still reeling from the iPhone explosion, I eagerly sought out more interesting tech news this week to satiate myself with.
Apple buys the CUPS printer framework. Since switching to a BSD core, CUPS has been at the heart of Apple’s “it just works” mantra although us Linux users (and BSD users as well) have enjoyed [...]

A woman booked a stay in a local hotel last year and it was waterlogged from a recent hurricane but I’d love to know which one! Our area was only hit by one tropical storm during the last season and it was less devastating than rain we had last week. In fact, we [...]

I was just sitting here, investigating a Spamcop report and I go to look up the domain:
root@viper [~]# grep websofffaith /etc/userdomains
And it’s actually websoffaith.com, whoops? Even funnier, they’re spamming people to drum up business. I’d post their number publicly but I’d probably get into a bit of trouble for that.

Sean Prophet writes about a local woman getting the WPB school board to ban books that she’s never read based on her own personal beliefs. That’s right, beliefs. She’s on public record as having never read any of the books cover-to-cover but I’m going to guess it’s more than that, she’s probably never [...]

My review of Lutz’s Learning Python has been published over at The Associated Content. Between this blog, BAND NAMES NOT BRAND NAMES (new review posted today!), Helium, and Associated Content, I always forget to write something for each one! I wonder how people can manage and write for so many sites at a [...]

I’m right scared of spiders. All sizes too. Except for baby spiders and granddaddy long legs, those are okay. But in the last week, we had a little spider of [...]

Much of my day-to-day work duties include fending off spam and keeping blacklists at bay. For a few years now, I’ve known that spam blacklists are a pretty pathetic answer to the spam problem and they’re just as bad as so called whitelists. Sure, whitelists are very handy but they suffer from the [...]

OK so I gleaned this gem from Digg. According to my Google Reader trends, it’s part of the 0% crap from the site I actually click on. I won’t even drop spoilers about this, it is very much self-explanatory…
