Amazing

// April 9th, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Stuff

It always amazes me that, no matter what the website is about, somebody is always trying to spam it.

And with all the tools to prevent spam, like Spam Killer, comment moderation, captcha, etc., these spammers continue trying to post their crap – most often on old posts in a blog, as if it will go undetected because it’s on an old post.

Are these people morons? I just can’t believe that they’re stupid enough to think that they’re going to make some money off someone, someone who is only going to delete the crap they put up as soon as they’ve put it up.

Perhaps it’s just a power trip; they think that they’ve got power over you because they’re making you take down what they put up, hence you’re annoyed and doing extra work.

I just can’t stand the fact that there are such fucking idiots in this world.

Website Problems

// April 5th, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Stuff

I’ve had quite a problem these past few days with my site not showing up – well, not showing up properly. The problem stemmed from another domain I have hosted here with this one and the fact that if you didn’t go to a subdirectory here, and just went to the main domain name, you’d see the other site.

Well 3 days later it’s all fixed up. This site is now showing without a subdirectory, which is fine with me, and the other domain is showing up not in a subdirectory, which is the way I wanted the other one.

All of this was thanks to the good folks at Netfirms. They went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me to fix things that needed fixing, even though it’s not really their jobs to fix up my screwed up sites.

Thank you Netfirms for having such helpful and courteous staff. It’s good to know that there are still companies out there that provide customer service.

Too Busy for Comfort

// April 3rd, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Stuff

There’s a big event going to happen where I work so it’s been very, very busy. Almost around the same time, our offices will be moving. And so it’s going to be even more busy than we are.

I’m trying to hold it all together, but quite frankly I’m feeling pretty damned old. I can’t help but continually feel that I’m forgetting something. And that’s not a good thing.

Is there some kind of pill that helps your memory, keeps you alert, and yet doesn’t keep you awake at night? See, that rules out caffeine. And I just get jittery after a few dozen coffees anyway.

I need a memory pill to make sure I don’t forget anything. Perhaps there’s some organic food you can eat to increase your memory. Tell me now (before I forget).
