Comments spam

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I guess the new addition of the TableEditor turned out to be a double-edged sword last night. Yes, someone did leave a comment that was nothing more than “come visit my blog” with a link, and yes I did delete it. Unfortunately, I also left a comment by Anita that referred to said spam comment, and did not leave any sort of explanation as to what was going on. With that comment remaining, I guess it actually appeared to be referring to a comment by Natalie, which wasn’t a spam comment at all. I guess I should have done the explanation at the same time, but I was just too tired last night to write it up. I’m sorry Natalie, your comment was totally appropriate, and the reference to comment spam had nothing at all to do with you!

OK, let’s move on, shall we? Look around, there are plenty of links to other blogs all over this page. The comments form has a space to link to your page as part of your comment. Obviously, I have no problem with giving people credit and linkage when they contribute to the conversation that goes on here. I’m more than happy, if you have something relevant to add, to let you link to your own page and get some traffic because of it. But please, have something relevant to say, and add to the conversation. I didn’t create this site, and work as hard as I do on it, just so any freak with an internet connection can get free advertising! You want me to link to you you need to do a couple of things. First get my attention, either by linking to me and sending traffic my way, or leaving a relevant comment. Secondly, write a good blog that also relates to what we’re doing here! You may not get blogrolled, especially if you’re blogging about something specific that doesn’t relate, but I will check out your blog and link to it when I feel like it’s warranted. Leaving me spam comments or spam referrals guarantees that you’ll never get linked here.

By the way, the landlord situation got sorted out last night, the hotel is still up in the air. I’m fairly close to just calling the bank and disputing the credit card charge and letting them deal with it from there. It would probably save me some stress.

    I was able to finagle my way to a “Well we need to make sure it works so we can send it back” look at my Dell Axim X5, It setup real easy and works really well. I was quite happy with the performance and the simplicity of syncing it with Outlook. Looks like I…

  • Your best advice?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I have been in contact with some one who is interested in starting a tech blog. It’s all very hush-hush for now, since he hasn’t actually started it, but he was asking my best advice as far as getting it out there and having it noticed. My advice was first to write what he knows,…

  • This Blog Post Was Not Written Using AI

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’m online to connect with other real people and the ideas that live in their heads. I write to share those ideas with others, but I also write because writing helps clarify my thoughts and ideas. It’s practice for the many times I find myself needing to go into more detail and flesh out ideas in front of other people. Asking a chatbot to write this post wouldn’t give me mental exercise. It would remove the challenge of figuring out what I want to say and how I want to say it.

  • When plug-ins don’t work

    There just something completely frustrating about discovering that an Acrobat Reader plug-in is causing random problems with various PC’s around the office. Especially when your PC is one of the one’s having a problem. In my case, certain behaviors in Reader, like clicking a link to another PDF on-line, caused the program to crash. Others…

    Linked: AT&T’s HBO Max Deal Was Never Free

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    See, the question that should be asked is how AT&T can afford to give users all the video streaming they want over their network for HBO Max, but forces caps on all of its users for their internet usage.

    Clearly, their network can handle the traffic of unlimited video streaming, so why do we let them use these excuses to limit access to the internet?
