Oh man, this had me on the floor laughing …
I was kicking through my blog posts just checking out what ad’s Google’s AdSense program would serve and this ad showed up…
I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to know what it would link to … but I clicked on it anyway. As it happens, it took me to eBay … no used tuna though 🙂
If you check the bottom of this page, you SHOULD be able to see a graphical representation of recent posting.
Not very exciting, but could be interesting.
… for eServer Magazine, iSeries Edition!
The topic of the interview wasn’t particularly ground breaking … just about being an iSeries Blogger.
Ryan told me that my blogs (both this one and IMHO) were not displaying properly when viewed with Internet Explorer. Every time they visited a page, IE wanted to download the page instead of displaying it.
I had just made some tweaks to the web server, so I figured I had screwed something up.
I searched and searched, but couldn’t figure out what I had broken.
I decided the best way to figure out the problem would be to sniff the line with an ethernet sniffer program to see what was actually being sent down the wire.
When I did, I noticed the http ‘content-type’ header was blank.
Turns out the WordPress configuration option that contains the content-type value was empty. I had neglected to run the upgrade script on the WordPress database when I finished the upgrade to version 1.5!
Oopsie.
After I ran the upgrade script, the pages displayed fine in IE.
I registered the ‘geekyramblings.org’ domain today … no major reason. It was available, it was cheap, so I grabbed it.
For now it simply redirects you to david.fallingrock.net … not sure if I’ll do anything else with it.
Woo Hoo! WordPress 1.5 has been released.
Of course, I’ve been running CVS versions for months now. I just gotta be on the bleeding edge.
I just found a new WordPress theme called ShadedGrey by Sadish Balasubramanian.
It’s pretty cool looking … I think I’ll try it on for size a bit.
This is a pretty cool idea … good idea to multi-task SpamAssassin.
IO ERROR � WordPress SpamAssassin Plugin
I’m going to have to give that a shot tonight.
Sigh
I’ve been getting hit with a lot of comment spam recently … pain in the a–.
I found a nifty plugin, however, that let’s me dump comment spam based on certian criteria. Pretty nice.
So far it has worked well … although I had some confusion when I was testing it … because I happened to get some new spam just before I implemented it. I thought the test spam had just been held for moderation instead of being dumped alltogether.
A bit of research, and another test, showed that the plugin was working fine.
I’ve created a new blog … I’m hoping it will provide a place for iSeries folks to share their thoughts in a more ‘journalistic’ sense.
Not much activity yet … but I have high hopes.
Check it out when you get a chance … http://imho.midrange.com.
