Akismet has caught 5,742 spam for you since you first installed it. Akismet has done a great job catching spam on my website. I usually check Akismet once a week or so, and in the past there has been around a hundred, but now every time I check I’m getting upwards to 500 or 600, and obviously I don’t have the time to sit here and look at all the comments linking to pharmaceutical products, real-estate ads, and others…well…you probably know anyway since spam affects most people who use an email address. Point is, I don’t really have the patience Continue Reading
Internet
My thoughts and adventures on the Internet and World Wide Web.
“Fastest In Canada”
I was just looking at Shaw’s website earlier and found out that Shaw unveiled a new high speed internet option Shaw High-Speed Nitro Internet (now they have 4) some time late last year. It costs about $100 per month, and you get 25 Mbps down, 1Mbps up, 150GB of monthly bandwidth. Are we gaining on the Swedish?
mIRC scripting
mIRC scripts can be helpful in many ways. They can do almost anything from hosting simple IRC games, to keeping PM spam out, to protecting the user and channel. Scripted correctly, most of them don’t cause any annoyance or frustration. Scripted incorrectly, they can prove to be quite hilarious to watch 🙂 [16:22:54] (&Tikitiki) !down [16:22:54] * Q sets mode: -ao Tikitiki Tikitiki [16:22:55] * Q sets mode: +o Tikitiki [16:22:55] * Q sets mode: +a Tikitiki [16:22:57] (&Tikitiki) try banning me now [16:22:58] (&Tikitiki) omg [16:23:00] (&Tikitiki) STUPID SCRIPT [16:23:01] (&Tikitiki) rofl [16:23:14] * Tikitiki sets mode: -a Tikitiki Continue Reading
MyBB 1.2 Beta: Multi-quoting
I’m going to be posting this series of screenshots in new posts now. One of the new features of MyBB 1.2 is multi-quoting. This function allows you to select as many posts as you want, from a one or more threads, and have them all ‘pre-quoted’ in the message box when creating a new thread or reply. The following screenshot shows the postbit. The multi-quote button is the one to the right of the “Reply” button (which was “Quote” before 1.2). (The postbit display of the new reputation system is also shown here) The screenshot below shows the new reply Continue Reading
MyBB 1.2 Beta
Every few days I will post a screenshot of the MyBB 1.2 Beta for those of you who didn’t get invited into the beta group (or beta-testers who are still interested in looking at these screenshots). In case you miss one, they will be archived on my Flickr gallery. June 28, 2006 A view of one of the new sections of the Admin CP. You can now add in your own custom MyCode (using Regex expressions) without having to use plugins. June 27, 2006 With the new reputation system, the reputation is user-based instead of post based. Now you can Continue Reading
