Speed Typing Test
How fast can you type? Note that this is an uncorrected test that doesn’t account for typing errors, so don’t friggin’ cheat. It’s been a long time since I tested my own typing speed. Hell, I don’t even know if I’ve ever had my typing speed tested to be honest. I never even think about [...]
The “nofollow” Agenda
Back in January Google made “big waves” in the blogging community with their announcement of the “nofollow” attribute. This attribute, says Google, when applied to a link on a web page, will tell Google to not follow that link or include it in any way for calculating PageRank or for spidering purposes. Other major search [...]
Sorry for the comment glitches
For those of you who tried to post comments on my asides posts and got nailed with bad karma I apologize. Believe me when I say that I value your input immensely, so it angers me that you had problems. Those problems should be corrected now so you should not have trouble in the future.
Spam Karma already earned its keep
I blogged about Spam Karma previously, before it even did anything for me. I gave it accolades based merely on the merits of its stated design aims. I can now safely say that it has so far worked precisely as advertised, for it has thwarted several spams that I simply didn’t even know about. Totally [...]
So long, spammers
Few creatures are more repugnant than spammers. Spammers of all manner, really: email spam, fax spam, comment spam, referrer spam. I get them all — well, I would if I had a fax machine, I’m sure — and I loathe them all. I’m pretty lucky with most of it, though, as I haven’t apparently risen [...]
WordPress Asides, ColdForged-style
UPDATE: I’ve changed templates since this was written. This stuff is still effective, it’s just not displayed here. As you can see, I’ve gotten my “asides” in place here. Note that you’ll have to go to the main page to see them. I used to maintain something I called the “sideblog” that was over in the [...]
Yay, another Firefox release
For those that don’t keep up with them, there’s a new Firefox release out today. Acually, the first official release. Hip hip, hooray and all that. That of course means a broken site again. Oh, it was worse than this before. Now it’s just my “Currently Reading” image handling that’s diddled due to the hideous interactions [...]
Extreme Makeover - CF Edition
Well, I got exceedingly tired of looking at the old look of cf.org. And yet, I don’t have the time or energy to craft my own new look. What’s a guy to do? Borrow someone else’s look. Enter Kubrick, the easy-to-use, drop-in replacement template. Many thanks to the creator for saving me some time. No, [...]
