I've been getting hundreds of comment spam but this particular one was different because it was meant to appear like a TrackBack ping at a cursory glance. A new comment has been posted on your blog redemption in a blog, on entry #156 (How to really kill Windows Messenger). http://blog.codefront.net/archives/2003/11/21/...

To think I'd tried to set upon the path of setting up a CVS server a few weeks back to allow me and several friends sharing a dedicated server to have our own private CVS repositories. The approach I took was to setup the server for password authentication (pserver). Naturally, I failed to get it running (had some issues with xinetd), and had...

A recently conducted poll at The Straits Times Interactive (online version of local leading newspaper) shows 71% (at time of writing) of the poll takers preferring an opt-out scheme "because [they] don't mind knowing all that's out there." And spam? "It's useful information to me", at least for 68% of the sample size. Granted, the sample size...

So Singapore has taken a significant step against spam. I'm not going to comment on the antispam move in this entry (if at all), but I thought it interesting to check out the "free trial of anti-spam software" as reported in the article and found something interesting. The Singapore AntiSpam Resource Centre has a list of recommended antispam...

I get tons of anime via BitTorrent and one of my favorite BitTorrent clients has been BitTornado (previously known as Shadow's Experimental client - nice rebranding too). I liked it because it was simple and light, and it uses the latest official BitTorrent code that allows for incremental allocation of files (since version 3.3). Before,...

Ben Goodger says in this thread: Extension-Manager enabled builds should be available today on ftp.m.o [ftp.mozilla.org]. Please start using these and test the new EM, file bugs! "Today" being 24 May of course. The Extension Manager is partially functional now in branch builds (which you can get from the Mozilla Firefox nightly FTP site - just...

One year ago today (well, it's actually yesterday, since it just crossed midnight), 24 May 2003, I wrote my very first blog entry. Of course, I started with good old Blogger, moved on to Blog-City, and then FreeRoller (now renamed to JRoller), before I finally settled on using Movable Type on my own hosting account. Probably going to stick...

The good people at Project Aon sent out an email on their mailing list today to announce the release of the Lone Wolf RPG (RPG in the Pen and Paper sense, not the CRPG sense). Yes, a PnP RPG! Not that I've ever truly played one beyond a fleeting tryst with BattleTech PnP. Where are the people who play PnP games in Singapore hiding? Anyway, I...
