Blacklisted: Blogspot.com
In: smp
17 Oct 2005I have permanently blacklisted all of people making comments from blogspot.com — it appears that Google’s little nightmare is getting worse.
Thankfully b2evolution makes that easy. I hate to think about what the the other blogging platforms will have to go through to make this happen.
PS: This is in response to Chris Pirillo’s well-timed rant on [...]
MySQL Replication
In: smp
14 Oct 2005I am thinking about setting up MySQL replication for the GrabPERF database so that the massive number of inserts done does not interfere with the performance of the Web interface.

Yahoo Blog Search: Compression?
In: smp
11 Oct 2005I guess bandwidth doesn’t matter to Yahoo. They don’t use gzip/HTTP compression any more.
Ok, not completely true. It’s there on the Portal Page. But nowhere else.

Oklahoma University Bombing Coverup

11 Oct 2005Ok, I love inflammatory headlines. But they go with this story: In Bombing At OU Stadium There Are More Questions Than Answers
Travis Smith was the first to clue me in that this happened. [here]
