Some Updates
March 23rd, 2006 Posted in Uncategorized
As my blog has been heavily spammed and my bandwidth dangerously teethering on the borderline this month, I am implementing these changes. I’m not imposing rules or anything, I’m just informing you.
- Spam Karma 2 is now
activated on my blogdeactivated because it’s not working. So if you have any problems commenting on my entries, you can contact me. - Heavy images are now hosted on Flickr.
- I am now using FeedBurner for my RSS/Atom feeds to save on feed bandwidth. You can still use my old feeds, but you will now be redirected to my FeedBurner so you don’t need to change anything on your aggregators.
- Permalink Structure on my blog has been changed for FeedBurner to work. Please be guided accordingly.
- Links within comments will now go through Google Redirection so spammer losers can’t steal my already abysmal PageRank.
- Smileys are also disabled in a pathetic attempt to save on bandwidth.
- NEVER HOTLINK any image hosted on my site. If you ever attempt to do so, you will get an, erm, pleasant surprise.
- If you didn’t understand anything I said, chances are you don’t need to.
Some other announcements:
- I tried very hard to implement AJAX on my blog without resorting to installing K2, because I like my template and K2 for me is, well, a cop out. Nonetheless, I failed.
- But I did manage to AJAXify my searchbar! Check it out!
- I’m a geek. And I’m bored. And I’m suffering from blogger’s block. And my knees are itchy.
- I have a new pet. His name is Silver, my loyal paperclip. I’m gonna miss Rocky the paperweight. :(
- Also, Dan Brown looks like a pedophile. [Thanks, Adam Mordo!]
I’m off to work now. Expect a new post within the day. Thank you.

hey, can i do a trackback to one of your post? i know it consumes bandwidth, if no, i’ll just post a link of your site in my blog. howz that sound?
how come Spam karma 2 doesn’t work on your blog? i’ve noticed that you’ve been having problems with it even on my own blog, remember your missing comments? (or was it you?) any ways, it seems that you’re not that happy with your host anymore, but heck, it’s just me.
Updates you’ve made here are great though.
ahmmm repeat pls? im got lost somewhere between “As my blog…” and “… Thank you.” Kidding.
Nice new look noisy man. :-)
Gosh, it must suck to be so popular. ;) Anyway, thanks for the heads up about the feeds; I use Feedburner myself and I like it so far.
