What’s the deal with the <head> command having to be on its own line on a web page? One of my older sites is busted in Mozilla, Firefox, and Safari. It only shows the page source code, until I move the head to its own line. Ugh. I thought whitespace was irrelevant.

Wow, I upgraded one of my blogs (ShowBizRadio.net) to the enwest WordPress earlier this week. The spam fighting system is very different from earlier versions of WordPress. I received 50+ comment spam attempts starting just a few hours ago. As I was typing this entry, I received 9 more! The attempts are all registering as one of these IP addresses: 64.62.228.2 64.62.228.3 64.62.228.4 64.62.228.5.

Amazing. On a day a when the FTC fines a millionaire spammer a pittance of the fine due, the Washington Post ignores its privacy policy and spams me with an offer to buy their stupid dead tree paper. But yeah, the spam tells me I can opt-out! Like I should trust that, after all, my preferences are already checked to NOT receive their garbage. But that’s ok, they aren’t members of TrustE or the BBB privacy seal programs, so what recourse do we have? None. Jerks. What’s the purpose of having a privacy policy if it can just be ignored? I’d love to have some big wig at the Post tell me it was an accident, and send me an apology. But that won’t happen. You have to be trustworthy and worried about what people think of you to offer an apology for lying.
I wouldn’t subscribe to the Post now if it were free. Who needs an extra couple hundred sheets of paper (newsprint nonetheless) cluttering up the house? It’s no wonder the newspaper subscription count is in freefall.

An interesting method to either attack someone, or to build up your web site’s reputation. Either way, I’ll bite. Michael S. Cox.

I’ve just blocked these domains, all related to each other, based on message content, message headers, and whois searches:
messagereach.com premiereglobal.com venturedirect.com xmr1.com xmr2.com xmr3.com xmr4.com xmr5.com xmr6.com xmr7.com xmr8.com xmr9.com xmr10.com xmr11.com xmr12.com xmr13.com xmr14.com xmr15.com. They are sending out drivel (spam) with subject lines like “Savvy IT Pros Are Great Responders!” and “Ministry Values from VentureDirect -Postal Names New to Market!”
