I wonder how long until google picks it up ?

Only one indexed page so far ?

I own an empeg MK2,
which is still the best thing there is,
but this

Looks like it worked

OK,

I finally got myself a gmail account.

I don’t really need it, since I have a few servers over which I have total control,
but I wanted to check it out anyway.

I’m being brave here,
so if you want to say something:
darkanti@gmail.com

And don’t ask for invites!

Argl. Stupid me.

Here is what I could reconstruct:

1. I had OpenSSH 3.7 running.
2. I had iptables set up to only allow connections from certain hosts.
3. I used my DSL to connect to the internet.

4. I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.7 last week.
5. I forgot to enable the iptables module

6. Intruder used ssh exploit to gain access.

7. Intruder abused my system as an xmule/edonkey relay with a high speed connection.

I would have never noticed if not our “site security” had noticed the strange behaviour of my system.
(Loads and loads of TCP SYN)

I might get into real trouble this time

Watched Spiderman 2 yesterday.

Good movie.
At first I was a bit disappointed by the animations of spidey,
but the style fit pretty good in the overall movie style,
so that’s ok.

The story was a bit too “poor spidey/peter” for me.
Some stuff was totally unbelievable,
but it’s a comic here after all.

Worth a look.

I might even buy the DVD once it’s out…

Nigritude Ultramarine

Need I say more ?

The contest is over … but let’s keep him running

Just wanted to say that

If you want one of the best curling simulations around,
go and get it.

Linux and Windows client fully working.
OSX client in the queue…

Patched the upload php.

As explained here.

Look at this

I’ll add “by post moderation” to my wordpress.

Step 1:
Alter the database
mysql> alter table wp_posts modify comment_status enum(’open’,'closed’,'registered_only’,'moderated’);

Step 2:
Edit wp-comments.php
Replace
< ?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) { ?>
with
< ?php if ($post->comment_status ==’open’ || $post->comment_status == ‘moderated’ ) { ?>

In my case this had to be done twice.

After
< a href="#postcomment" title="“>»
(just below)
add
< ?php if ($post->comment_status==’moderated’) echo(”Comments on this post are moderated. Wait patiently until it’s approved”); ?>

Step 3:
Edit wp-comments-post.php
Replace
if ( ‘closed’ == $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT comment_status FROM $tableposts WHERE ID = ‘$comment_post_ID’”) )
die( __(’Sorry, comments are closed for this item.’) );
with
$commentstatus = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT comment_status FROM $tableposts WHERE ID = $comment_post_ID”);
if (’closed’ == $commentstatus)
die(’Sorry, comments are closed for this item.’);

Find
$wpdb->query(”INSERT INTO $tablecomments
(comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_author_email, comment_author_url, comment_author_IP, comment_date, comment_date_gmt, comment_
content, comment_approved)
VALUES
(’$comment_post_ID’, ‘$author’, ‘$email’, ‘$url’, ‘$user_ip’, ‘$now’, ‘$now_gmt’, ‘$comment’, ‘$approved’)
“);
and insert before
if ($commentstatus == ‘moderated’) {
$moderation_notify = true;
$approved = 0;
}
else
$approved = 1;

OK,
now we have per post moderation options, but the only way to enable them is to hack the database
update wp_posts set comment_status=’moderated’ where id=99;

Some of these
Burningbird » Wordpress Modifications are really worth to be considered here.

I might implement a few of them soon…

Gentoo is rising fast.
But who the heck is “Germany’s Dotcom-server” ?

Imagine the following.

—
You are on a big cruise ship.
Everyone is happy to go to the golden land.

You get the feeling that something really bad is going to happen.
You try to warn the others.
But nobody listens.

You start searching for a way to escape.
Finally you find a tiny escape pod.

You leave.
You paddle as hard as you can to get away from the ship.

The ship is starting to sink.
You keep paddling.

The ship goes down.
Creating tidal waves.
You manage to paddle away.

But the ship sucks you down with it.
You keep swiming to the surface.

You are almost exhausted.
You manage to get to the top.

You take a breath of fresh air.

Then a big hand grabs you from below
and pulls you down.

You hear their voices:
“We are almost there … we can already the the beaches of the golden land.”

You feel the air leaving your lunges,
being replaced by water…

That’s how I feel right now…

Reworking the CSS slightly.
At least that’s the plan…

URLs now should be “auto linked” (i.e. changed into HREFs).
And they should be changed into google redirections.

Let’s try:

[update]
The autolink works, but not the google redir

Let’s try this:
