To all the bloggers out there, beware!
There are a lot of referer spammers posting sites that as soon as you load the page, it tries to load a file named '33.wmf'. I strongly suspect this is a WMF exploit file designed to take over your computer!… more »
I've written several blogs in the past discussing organic food and why I think it's better than conventional food. Up until now, it's just been me, some anonymous Joe Blow on the Internet spouting off with his opinions on this subject. Now a very… more »
Ok, my continuing adventures with the referer spam has lead to an interesting discovery - I think criminals are now using referer spam to spread viruses. I think they are doing this in order to 'own' more computers for their botnets.
Today, I was… more »
Disclaimer: Am I doctor? No. These are merely my opinions based on some research I've done recently.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let me just say that 'safe' drugs are not safe, whether they be prescription or non-prescription drugs. All… more »
I own a lot of domains. At last count, 28 of them. Amoung them are pretty much all of the 'ekle.*' domains. The only one I haven't been able to get is 'ekle.com'. That one is owned by a domain broker who wants way too much money for an unimportant… more »
On the recommendation of my friend Dave, I decided to give Yahoo Music Unlimited a try. Today I signed up for a year. I've been listening for a while now, and all I have to say is WOW! Apple, copy this right now! Yahoo definately has something good… more »
I don't normally post political themed blogs, but this was too good to pass up!
I saw this on a bumper sticker today (a very timely bumper sticker!):
I'd rather be hunting with Dick Cheney
than riding with Ted Kennedy.
And if you don't get… more »
Wow, I've never banned an entire country from my site before!
I just modified my site to ban the entire country of Russia. Why? Because this seems to be the source of most of the referer spam I'm getting. It's unfortunate that I need to resort to… more »
I just found a list of several good sites for AppleScripts that I found in the latest Mac Addict magazine. (Yes, I subscribe to it!)

On Monday, it was time to make visit the site that I chose to go to Paris for in the first place - The Louvre.
What is The Louvre? It's only one of the largest, best museums in the world. It has some of the most famous works of art there, such as… more »
You know, it really bugs me when a few bad apples out there spoil it for the rest of us.
I've been running this harmless little blog for about a year now. In that time I've noticed that probably 50-75% of my traffic is from referer spam. This… more »
I just replaced the old site search functionality on this site with a Google search. This should allow you to more easily search for whatever you need on my site (the default) or the web. See the Google box over on the side... more »
Ok, the site is now moved over to my new webhost - Dreamhost. Let's hope they do end up being a dream. :)
With luck, you shouldn't notice any difference. If you see anything missing, please let me know. Thanks. more »
Shopping in Paris, is an disorienting experience I am used to the US where most stores are in separate buildings and tend to be very spread out. US stores are usually large, one story buildings. Not in Paris.
The stores in Paris are very… more »
I got a few minutes to play with the latest build of Windows Vista last night. I've only just installed it, so keep in mind these are just first impressions. They may change.
The installation is now graphical from the very beginning. A nice change.… more »
When I first told my parents that I was planning to make a trip to Paris, I got the distinct impression that my father was not happy with my decision. It seemed to me that he did not like the French. I think perhaps my father was of the impression… more »
Begin Rant...
I'm going to make a slight detour on Rick's Blog Tour of Paris, to comment on something. I was planning to write about this later, but the news story linked to this blog was just too timely to resist.
The French are all in all a… more »
