  • Using FeedDemon 101

    Using FeedDemon 101: An interesting step by step screencast on how to download, install and successfully use the excellent FeedDemon newsreader. Not only is the content of interest, the method of delivery (screencast) is also of interest to me. If you know of any good screencasting software/methods, please leave me a pointer. (8)

Simple PHP Gallery 7comments

If you like this post, please subscribe to our RSS feed to read our new posts every day.

Simple PHP Gallery: A very simple PHP gallery system that requires GD. Caching, simple upload to folders and a relatively simple install make this one to watch. I see a lot of similarities between this and something I have developed professionally. Could be easily integerated with a Wordpress install.

[EDIT]: Special version of Simple PHP Gallery that is pre-configured to pull the gallery into a Wordpress template.

Three Strikes Spam Plugin Updated 15comments

I want to release a beta version of the Three Strikes Plugin exclusively written for Wordpress 1.5. Newer comment spam features built into the 1.5 code needed to be exploited and this plugin makes use of one such feature.

New features include:

  • Better Bayesian Filtering - the bayesian code has been updated a little to train better, fixed some bugs
  • Better training on install - Used some of the new features in WP 1.5 to train the filter at install
  • More bugfixes and workarounds for Wordpress 1.5

Please leave bugs/suggestions as comments. Thanks for trying it out.

Download link for Three Strikes 1.5 Beta Plugin for Wordpress 1.5

[EDIT] I left a debug statement in the code which would have borked commenting, fixed in the download.

[EDIT] As a suggestion for testers/users of this plugin, get some good and some spam comments first before you install it. The plugin does not work well on brand new blogs, by design.

Web Spam Summit: More precisely, a web spam squashing summit is being organized by Technorati and hosted at Yahoo! Sunnyvale. I could have exchanged some valuable insight and information but am stuck here on the East side of the island! Oh the desire to move to the West! :)

  • Start a blog in 51 easy steps

    Start a blog in 51 easy steps: An amusing look into starting a blog, fun to read and quite true in many cases. I love step number 47. 47. Slip into an uneasy nightmare about being forced to type the word “sUxx0r” on a flaming keyboard while chained to Jabba the Hutt, who keeps demanding “More! More! Jakatooie Blogga Dooie! More!!!” Welcome to blogging! (0)

  • Weblog Tools Market Share

    Weblog Tools Market - Update February 2005: As collected from Google, technorati and a couple of other aggregation sources. The analysis is detailed but the data collection methods are somewhat flawed in my opinion. Hosted services continue to dominate the blogging market but the increase in overall numbers is quite encouraging. There are some interesting takes on this analysis. Livejournal, Typepad and MT together seem to be part of the largest blog provider in the market. Well crafted strategic decisions made by Moveable Type seem to be paying off. Thanks Threadwatch (1)
