More on stopping spam

I hate spam as much as the next person, so when something is suggested to help combat it, I’m always willing to give it a go.
So in addition to the MT blacklist, and closing off comments after xx days, I’ve implemented Kasia’s idea .

So if someone tries to post without a referrer from my domain you’ll get sent to my error page (stole that idea from her as well – with permission of course).

Thanks

Just a reminder – if you’re going to use it, remember to put in RewriteEngine on so you don’t have to spend an hour or so wondering why the darn thing isn’t working.

More stuff not working

:*sigh* remember This? I thought everything was fixed until I tried to print from the network printer on Tuesday. None of the pc’s will print to the friggin printer now, the path is not recognizable and I can’t fix it.

Spent all day of and on, inbetween classes trying to figure it out – reinstalled the drivers, altered the IP, changed the path but nothing will get the stupid thing to print.

I guess I’ll be printing the bloody year book on my home printer this year., because I’m really fed up of troubleshooting.

a few things about me (part 2)

part 1

  1. I’m an impatient person, with little tolerance for people who keep me waiting. If I have to wait more than 10 minutes for anyone, I leave. This includes doctors appointments. Just because you have a couple of letters after your name does not give you the right to keep me waiting. My time is precious, so you’d better have a damn good excuse if you keep me waiting.

  2. When I was 16 a friend and I were busted for underage drinking. Thinking my dad was going to kill me we decided to run away from home. Being the really bright 16 yr olds that we were at the time, we realized to late we only had enough money to take us to the next town (2 mile away). Within an hour we were sitting in the park at the local school, freezing, no cigarettes, no money, no change of clothes, and watched the police cars and my boyfriend racing up and down the main road trying to locate us.
    When we were finally caught my mom and dad were so happy to see me, they forgave my drinking and stupidity. My friend’s mom wasn’t so joyous. She got an ear bashing, was grounded for well over a month, and banned from ever hanging out with me again. (which was later rescinded, we were best friends afterall)
    I love my mom and dad

  3. When I left school at 16 I went straight to college to study engineering. I studied at a merchant marine college which had it’s own dormatories. There were 500 guys and 4 girls.
  4. I dislike people who need the constant reasurenece of others. Yes the dress looks great on you my opinion hasn’t changed from an hour ago when you last asked me the same question.
  5. There is nothing in my life I would change. Taking another fork in the road might not bring me to where I am now, and I’m happy with what I have.

no graphics

I’m screwing around with the htaccess file, so as usual when I screw around with stuff, things go screwy.

My graphics, specifically the ones I’ve uploaded with my blog aren’t showing up. ::eyeroll::

Bloody hell, all I wanted to do was stop people from linking to my stuff.

Law according to Lynne:

What can go wrong, will!

update Seems to be fixed, thanks to Lissa and this site
