]]> Can’t you see? Or it’s just my problem?

Google: Im Feeling Fucky

I don’t think so. I’ll tell you more - many people feeling fucky nowdays. Today they’re webmasters, but times when guy behind a browser will fill himself fucky - it’s a not-so-far-away future.

]]> Make sure that you have this browser:

Speed Up Firefox

Do you know FireFox well?

And how about advanced settings page? And how about direct access to it? OK, just type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Just like this:

Firefox's advanced settings address

Now, what do you see?

It’s your advanced settings, basically you can’t reach most of them in other way…

How To Speed Up Your FireFox

Look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

They looked just like this:
firefox-network-settings

Now,
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 10 (or 15)
Right-click, select New->Integer, name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay, set value to 0
Restart Firefox.

What we’ve done?

We allowed to make up to 10 (15) connections at once. Make sure not to set it higher than 20.
Also we allowed to act with received information with zero waiting time.

]]> BlogJet is a commercial blog client for Windows. And I made this and previous posts using this software. Hmmm. BlogJet is much better than BlogDesk one…. But I still need to edit the post after posting is done. Where are papagraph styles? Where are h1 h2 h3 h4 etc… ?? Where is real WYSIWYG editor? Where is image properties editing after I inserted it? Where human-readable image naming (check this out - in previous post image on my HDD named arch-enemy-2007-rise-of-the-tyrant-promo.jpg became some kind of non-seo non-human non-anyone set of letters)?

Author may talk about money, work to be done, “how he make controls that were snatched by microsoft”, and some mental shit, but I must say one thing. BlogJet is crap. Just like BlogDesk. Please note that BlogDesk is free to use, when BlogJet’s author wants $39.95. I’ll put them both in one place – and it will be /dev/null.

The official site says

BlogJet 2.0

Blog editor on steroids.
Now better than ever.

1. Remember, kids, steroids are bad. And this piece of binary crap proves it.
2. If this is better than ever – what’s bad?
3. Why 2.0? Did you anything for it? NO! It must be 1.99 – and so on – 1.100, 1.101.

]]> Hi there.

blogdesk-post

Today I’ll test a software called BlogDesk. Here is their icon blogdesk button, and here is their web-site.

BlogDesk is the offline weblog client, features WYSIWYG editor, ImageWizard, Thumbnails creator etc.

For example I inserted a program’s screenshot, and as you can see, thumbnail generation works wery well ;)

Seems I’ll try to use it for more time, maybe it’s an editor-of-my-dreams….

Seems like BlogDesk is crap. I edited all the links and srcs. Without editing - they all was pointed to “file:// ” (i.e. to my local hard drive).

Now I don’t know if I try this toy anymore.

]]> Second step - it’s use of Simple Trackback Validation plugin by Michael Woehrer.

Many spam messages is come through trackbacks.

This plugin eliminates spam trackbacks by:

  1. checking if the IP address of the trackback sender is equal to the IP address of the webserver the trackback URL is referring to and
  2. by retrieving the web page located at the URL used in the trackback and checking if the page contains a link to your blog.

Plug has options page. Everything seems pretty good - and again - wait for more info.

]]> I hate 404s. I use awstats to watch my logs, and I hate when it shows some 404s…

I can tolerate some virus-generated URLs but when I see this “/feed%3Ahttp%3A//eyedmax.com/feed/“or search bot asking me for robots.txt or favicon.ico (and I haven’t one) - I can blow up.

My advices to all webmasters are following:

  • put all common files (including index.html, robots.txt and favicon.ico) to your site
  • validate the code for “strange” URLs
  • analyze log files
  • use the automatically generated site map

Don’t trouble Google ’till Google troubles you!

]]> Hi there!

I’ve been thinking of getting post done (about smart MySQL sorting techniques), but when I logged on….

A bunch of spam comments - about meds, about autos, about porn (of course) and all the bloody stuff around this bloody world…

So - I proclaim the War Against SPam (WASP).

The first step in WASP strategy - it’s a set of plugins. I’ll try some, and you’ll be informed about the hostilities.

First in the line will be Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin by Michael Woehrer. You can see its output under the comment form. Also I use the aggressive digits naming - like thr33 or f1ve

]]> Hi again.
WordPress 2.2 Getz is pretty cool ;)
Except one little thing.
Widgets.
They’re now in the core.
And (as always) one little annoying error in release code.
This bug prevents Otto’s ExecPHP from working. Another plugins that allows to run PHP code gone wild too.
No, actually they working, until you want 2 or more blocks…
Solution is CVS. You need to upload fixed version of widgets.php into your wp-includes folder.
You can take it .zipped - here.

Oh, and I think my plugs needs some widgetization too ;)
