So today, I see there’s a security update for Wordpress. I accidentally overwrote my comment popup template so if it looks plain its because I messed it up. I didn’t have the patience to go ahead and fix it yet. Soon!
EDIT: I’ve fixed the comments popup, lucky for me I found some of my old code.
This is a couple of days old, but I’m now unemployed. I have to say it sucks. While getting up at 7AM every day wasn’t my cup of tea, I dealt with it just fine. The money is what I really miss. Knowing I’ve only got 1 more paycheck and no job lined up is a little unsettling. At least this time I’ve got some cash stashed in tbe bank. It’s never enough though. The plan now? Move!
I’ve been offered an apartment in Plymouth with a friend. It’s a pretty sweet deal too. Townhome for $550/mo. My only concern is once again the job. I doubt I’ll have anything before moving down which means I’ll have to find something once I’m down there. If it’s not career oriented, then I’m going to end up taking a crappy job for a little while. Not something I want to do, but if needed, I will. At least I’ll be out of this wasteland.
One thing I need to do before moving down is get a new vehicle. As I said above, money is pretty good right now, but once I get a car, it won’t be. Chances are I’ll have to use a good portion of my savings on a used car and that doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for anything else. It’s going to be very tight once I do get down to Minneapolis. Will I stretch myself too thin? One thing is for sure, moving back home will not be an option.
Do you have a blacklist for your comments set up in Wordpress? If you do, you should block the IP of the “free online poker” dude that keeps spamming your old posts. Check out your first 20 or so posts to see the spamming.
Yes there is a blacklist on certain words or if more than 10 links are posted. What pisses me off is the spammer shows up as a different IP every time. And I don’t really want to ban the obvious word “poker” in my comments since poker is a good thing and there very well may be healthy discussion on it. The only consistant thing in his posts are the email address and Wordpress offers no way of blocking that.
Huh, that’s kind of a lame blacklisting system. can you block via url? he always has the same url in his website address. Just a thought.
Under Options and Discussion.. there’s a block at the bottom that says “When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URI, email, or IP, hold it in the moderation queue” so you still need to delete it, but at least it won’t get posted.
$550! I pay a little less than that. If you move in with Laura it will be like… $400
Anyways, move down sl4ck3r!
