Things have been pretty dead around here, and I’ve found myself updating Flickr more than I do my blog. I have been painting a lot as well, if that counts as any kind of excuse.
I have made a few improvements, though. I installed a plugin for my daily photo section to display the EXIF data (exposure, depth of field, flash information etc) that’s currently not working, but I’ve emailed the developer so hopefully I’ll get it up and running. I’ve also changed how long my blogs stay open for comments. I was getting spam on entries that were weeks or months old that Akismet wasn’t catching, so now comments on each entry expire after five days. Blahblahblah.
Spammers sure are getting creative these days. I’ve even been fooled by a few of the ones in my photos section at the beginning of the comment, but the dead give away is always at the end though, with FrE3 Ph3nTeRmIn3 CiAliS vIaGra, or similar pharmaceutical product. If I want to experience a four hour erection, I’ll talk to my doctor, thanks though. Who the fuck even writes these? Further more, who FALLS for them? “Oh, they commented on my photo! They also want to sell me illegally obtained Erectile Dysfunction drugs, odd! *clicks link and buys*” Get out of here man.
I’ve been itching to begin a new web project lately, even though I know I’d probably never finish it. Any suggestions? I still have yet to put together a proper portfolio, but that’s more out of “eh I’ll do that when I have a few more client work to showcase” or some other such excuse. I have so many ideas for it, so it would be a total nightmare to put together. Oh who am I kidding, I can’t even update my blog on a regular basis.
