“Greylisting” D’oh

Transferring a bunch of domains away from GoDaddy because of their anti-consumer stance on SOPA?

Don’t forget to turn greylisting off for those domain email verifications. Otherwise the transfer could take days to accomplish.

cha..cha..cha..changes to the blog

Just some software upgrades.

My underlying OS in my host’s chroot jail is now FreeBSD 7.2

Upgraded to Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3

WordPress is now at version 3.3

Same crappy theme.

Hope nothing broke.

details of a “zero-day” WordPress exploit

Here

I think he covers all the bases pretty well, and I have nothing much to add. His post is dated 01aug2011, but I’ve never heard of it from any of my feeds until my webhost sent a tweet out today.

cinched my vote for [NAME REDACTED]

The top of the hour [major national news] reported this morning that the polls for the upcoming Iowa Poll currently has Gingrich at 40%, Romney at 23%, and “the reminder of the Republican candidates total 10%”.

It is simply un-fscking believable that a “major news outlet” could be reporting a difference from other polls that is well over five times the normal margin of error, let alone pretending that one of the four people in the United States with a reasonable chance to win the Presidential election in 2012 simply does not exist.

I’m not sure if the Maryland primary is going to be relevant this year, but I’m downloading the form now and will mail it in to switch my party affiliation today. March 13, 2012 seems to be the deadline here in Maryland if you wish to vote in the Primary Election.

‘Death Panels’ by any other name…

In the UK. But somehow, something like this could never happen in the USA, right?


“…
At another hospital, junior doctors freely admitted that the forms were filled out by medical teams without the involvement of patients or relatives.
…”
