You Are Mexican Food Spicy yet dependable. You pull punches, but people still love you. What Kind of Food Are You? I finally took the quiz after seeing it on other blogs for a while. Yes, I try not to hit most people too hard now. [Stripped out the annoying table code and font tags.]
After months of de-activation I’ve restored my contact form with AJAX, courtesy of Wufoo. Check it out! Update: Oh shite, I didn’t realise the password-protect feature was kicking in here until I tried viewing the form on another computer. Have disabled it so you guys can view it.

It was a nightmare two days when trackback spam got the better of the server, and our old web host shut us down indefinitely. They wanted us to remove all MT scripts. But the fact is, it was a particular trackback file that was being attacked. If we removed all our MT scripts, we wouldn’t …
I rue my move to a less user-friendly control panel for web hosting, and write down the process I underwent to get things to work on the new server.
Why do exciting things happen when my server is unstable? According to my Mint stats, this site made it onto the home page of Tailrank for my previous post on CSS support in email programs.

The web host has warned that they won’t allow us to down the whole shared server again. So just in case you see …
Pah. I tried re-installing Brandon Fuller’s MTValidator plugin and kept on wondering why it no longer worked on my site. It would say my pages were invalid when most of them were in fact, valid. Then I looked at the requirements list and discovered that I had an older version of Perl. Not assuming that’s …
To non-techies who don’t know what I’m talking about, this is with relation to a previous post about a special lifetime web hosting offer (Textdrive), combined with an enterprise-level sharing service (Joyent) and secure file storage (Strongspace). I haven’t really done much with my 2GB Textdrive hosting account. I’ve yet to receive a Strongspace login …
Of all the things I forgot to do … I forgot to renew my domain name. Things started looking funny this morning, and people got redirected to some commercial portal selling sun tan lotion. At least it didn’t point to a certain nudist club. Fortunately my web host managed to rectify things. Thanks to ML …
