Those spam bots are at it again!
This time they are spamming the Ajax post I posted back in November, so I have had to disable comments for my blog, as currently there is no option to disable comments on a post-by-post basis.
This is one feature I would (now!) like to see implemented *hint*hint* 😉
Plus better support for the smilies!
Tilly the rat died sometime during yesterday afternoon/evening, while I was at work.
When I got home that evening I had a quick look in the cage and I saw that she was lying in front of her nest box.
When I went to play with her later on during the night she was still in the same spot, and was cold.
I don’t really feel all that sad for her, as she was probably in some form of discomfort, and she was old.
Wherever she is now, she is at rest
Finally, after a week, my new domain is activated, now all that I need to do is to start copying the old website over to the new domain.
This new domain and hosting is a positive step forward for me, as it means that my site is taken away from the ad ridden beast that is tripod and moved to hosting on – well – tripod!
This should mean that the copying of the website over is easy, I just need to find “webcopier”
woohoo 😀
My Image Gallery viewing script has been lying stagnant for a couple of weeks now.
But the past two days I have been working on javascript to load the galleries.xml file and then parse it and store the data into arrays.
This is the second U-turn I have done on this project, the first, was that I wouldn’t load the file with javascript and to have the page refresh when the view changes, and know I have the javascript working, which is what I am now keeping it as!
This sudden flurry of activity is still only on the admin panel, but hopefully when I have this finished then I can start work on the actual script.
I have finally taken the plunge!
I have ordered a domain name and webhosting from lycos at a cost of £5 a month which is about £70 a year including VAT
I will be able to manage my account within the next 24-48 hours, and the domain registration checks take between 1-5 days.
The domain name that I am using is roganty.co.uk (how’d you guess 😉 )
See ya
The introduction of the new website layout was so that I could get rid of the old table based layout and introduce a more flexible, standards compliant layout that would hopefully work in as many browsers as possible.
But with the influence of NoZen I decided to create several different CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) style sheets
I have created two new styles, but I have yet to incorporate them into the websites structure
The screen shot below shows the first style which has two separate menu bars
One for the main menu, which is located at the top of the page, and the second is the submenu bar which is located below the page heading
The screen shot below shows the second style which moves the main menu, and submenu bar to the left side of the screen.
The page header and the section title have also been switched, so that the page header is below the section title.
The colours of the site is different to the ones that I normally use
This style was inspired by i summon one kim – Kimmo Suominen
Since March my guest book has been getting a lot of spam entries, but things came to a head during the past two weeks with up to 10 spam enties a day.
I have now dramatically changed the format of the guest book and have added a new “spambook” table in the mysql database.
I have also changed the form so that the guest book details are sent using the POST method instead of GET.
Any new posts that meet a few certain criteria are now put into the spambook table with the IP address and the user agent of the browser that is being used.
The new guest book has now been in operation for two-three day and has already collected 20 spam entries in the new table.
From these “entries” i have learnt that the spammers use a different IP address every time they post a new entry, even if they are within minutes of the last one. They are also using the same browser:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
They have also set the country that they come from as “Other”, even though i don’t have an option for “Other”
Until the spammers realise that their “entries” are not being submited, my guest book should remain spam free for the time being
Hello,
I am Anthony Rogers, I am 20 years old, even though I don’t look it!
I have a website hosted at http://members.lycos.co.uk http://www.roganty.co.uk
I have had this site for the past two to three years and keep on updating it infrequently.
At the moment I am working on an image gallery script with its own admin area.
I started this project for use in the Photo Section on my website, but I will release it for general use.
My dad and I went to the The Swan Inns 1st Beer Festival. We paid £5 for a ticket, which got us a commemorative 1/2 pint beer mug. A further £10 brought us four beer tokens each.
On offer was around 20 different beers from around the UK, plus a couple of ciders, in total there was 24 different beers.
The four beers that I tried was: Gem, Autumnal, Dark Island, and Abbot Ale;
The four beers that dad tried was: Roaring Meg, Wicked Witch, Old Bob, and Piddle in the Wind
Thats all for now!
