Myriad

2008-04-20


Myriad is a classical Greek name for the number 104 = 10,000. In modern English the word refers to an unspecified large quantity.

So I’m looking forward to the next myriad of spam comments/trackbacks. Not.

Akismet 10004

If I wouldn’t change the name of the wp-trackback.php from time to time and block several typical words inside before they even reach Akismet (the spam filter running here), this number would already have been reached a long time ago…

Minor changes

2008-04-03

“Minor” because no new domain, ;) no new theme, but just a few little things I changed here:

  • The header navigation in the blue bar has been extended and enhanced with drop-down menus * – especially I added a link to my little Queen fan site (ag1.de/queen; already a few days ago) and a link to a few older, small Windows utilities (ag1.de/utils). Mainly because my former little portal page ag1.de redirects here directly now.
    (Though I’m vaguely thinking about moving the blog there, but, well, we’ll see…)
  • The feed now also contains the music quotes which I add to the end of (almost) every post.
  • WP-PostRatings, for rating the posts with little stars, was removed due to lack of use – of course they were rather inconspicuous, but on the other hand, I didn’t want a big, maybe distracting “Please rate this post” to point at it. ;)

* These apparently don’t work in IE6, but who cares, the top links still work.

No, I won’t write about the release of WordPress 2.5 now

Enough others have done that, you know. ;)

To make this post less than 100% useless, let me briefly answer two search queries leading people here today at 17:43 and 18:46:

10 21 23 29 31 37 (49) – today in Germany, that is. Unless you consider money bad luck…

Don’t match. If your nerves are strong enough, you can convince yourself here on the Wotschblog (ex-Just4Fun, German text)…

Projekt 52 week 8: What frightens me?

2008-02-18

The topic of week 8 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

What frightens me?

At first I was afraid I’d never have an idea what to present photographically on this topic… but wait, afraid to have no idea? Bingo! So I quickly grabbed my camera:

08: What frightens me?

Week 8: What frightens me?

Maybe the fear of every blogger (and other kind of writer): No idea what to write about, represented by an almost empty WordPress window. The slight distorion caused by the low camera distance even somehow fits thematically…


Alright, it’s a very simple solution, but whatever. :mrgreen:
