No Spam Filters

Although I’m about 13 hours late, Pacific time, I’ve turned off all spam filters, including Akismet and Bad Behavior, in an attempt to see just how much spam filtering plugins help. I’ve also disabled DoFollow, for obvious reasons.

There’s more information on the announcement post on the blog that started this day, justaddwater.dk.

Brace for impact, people.

Peter Ha

Why does Peter Ha write for CrunchGear? Or, a more accurately phrased: why does he still write for CrunchGear?

TechCrunch, the massively popular blog about all things web 2.0, posted a recap about the week on CrunchGear. Here’s the part which kind of perturbed me a bit:

OS X Leopard

Seemingly months after everyone else has marveled at OS X Leopard, I’ve taken the plunge and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Instead of upgrading, I decided to wipe the disk (backing up first, of course) and do a clean install. The first time, the install went fine, but Leopard hung with a blue screen when I booted it up the first time. So, I wiped the disk clean, …
