User Deletion, iPhone Friendly, Facebook Updates
A number of changes today. I deleted all the users that appeared to be spam users (which was all of them). I added a plugin that enabled a special skin to be used for smartphones (particularly the iPhone). I also added a plugin that will post to facebook when I’ve made a new post here.
Lunarpages Name Server Spoof
So it looks like sometime yesterday morning, the Lunarpages name servers in Vegas were spoofed and many of the websites hosted by Lunarpages were being redirected all over the place. It seems to be mostly fixed now, but there appears to be some propagation issues still, at least with the Comcast “domain helper” DNS servers. Hopefully it’ll stabilize soon.
WordPress Blog Hijackings
I’ve noticed that mine and other WordPress based blogs have been hijacked by someone injecting some script into the header.php of the template. It forces the blog to redirect to other websites after a few seconds. I think I’ve temporarily fixed it for now, and am in the process of plugging up the security hole.
Installed Lightbox2 and Search-Everything
I noticed that by adding tags to all the posts, that tags are not searchable by default in WordPress 2.5.1. I installed a plugin called Search-Everything to enable that as well as searching lots of other data. Seems to work fairly well.
I also installed Lightbox2. This gets the nifty animated larger versions of pictures when you click on them. Try it out on almost all the old posts (or the title image of this post). (Yes, I went back and updated all of them to work.) I really need to find a way to automate that better. It’s very repetitive blocks of text.

Tags!
Alright, so I went through all the old posts and added tags to them. Not really sure the value of this, but we’ll see. Going to make good on my promise for those retroposts. Honest! Just need to figure out where my muse is hiding.
Grand Intentions, but lack of updates.
Ok, I had these grand intentions of updating a lot, but I failed to actually do so. I’m going to necropost a bunch of updates. That’s not exactly the right word here to use, but it’s close. I cannot think of a better one. Anachropost? Retropost? I think retropost is probably best. So I will be retroposting about the following: GDC, WonderCon, Maker’s Faire (with possibly a post devoted solely to Abney Park), Dream Of Mirror Online (review), Final Fantasy: My Life as a King (review and notes). I think (?) that that is everything I’ve skipped posting about.
Spam
Added spam blocker. We’ll see how it works. Die in a fire spam!
