What a day. I was so frustrated I needed to take a long hot shower to calm myself down. I guess, in some sick and twisted way, I should be flattered that someone found my content worthy of duplication. But, I’m not. I’m pissed.
This splogger actually had the audacity to copy/paste pages of content from [...]

Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows XP
More goodies for the back up brain.
Keyboard short cuts for Windows XP
(not to self: memorize the damn “Microsoft natural keyboard shortcuts”.)
Selecting Multiple (Range of) List Items in iTunes for Windows
Because it was a bitch to figure out, I’m putting it in my new back up brain.
To select a range of songs in the list, click on the first song, click on Shift (hold it down), and select the last song in the range you want to select.
Sadly, Windows users are used to clicking on [...]
PHP 301 Redirect
This is just a bit of code for my own personal reference:
header(’HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently’);
header(’Location: ‘.URL);
header(’Connection: close’);
I Hate Spammers!
That’s the latest spam mantra that keeps getting killed by Akismet.
My response? If you truly hate spammers, then you must really loathe yourself. I hear they have therapy for that now.
(And if the dumbass who keeps spamming people with that stupid line happens upon this blog entry, please get a clue.)

Moleskine - I may need to bite the bullet and see what all the fuss is about once and for all. (May also be available at Amazon. Note to self: [...]
Off To Sin City for PubCon (and who I’d like to meet)
It’s that time again, I will be attending PubCon. This time, however, it will be in Las Vegas, not Boston. Chances are, it will still be cold, though.
In Boston, Lynn, Chrissie, and I had a blast — not to mention the wonderful quotes we collected. We met a lot of people, took a lot of [...]
Who Was It That Said…?
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. (Lord Acton said it, by the way.)
We spend too much time “defending” wikipedia and not enough time bringing new users into the fold, being polite, being nice. Teaching them about policies, about the manual of style. Editing alongside them. Admins are supposed to be “just another [...]
Solution: Signing up with iTunes Using PayPal
I loathe saying this. I actually feel dirty just forming the words on my fingertips, but…use IE.
Oddly enough, iTunes does not support signing up using PayPal with Firefox as your default browser. That means, temporarily, you will need to set IE as your default browser, then follow the steps to sign up with iTunes using [...]
That Answered My Question
“…if [I] can’t send spam, there will be no internet.”
Yep, that answered my question. Spammers don’t get stoopider with each passing moment, they just get crazier.
Blue Security had to close up shop after a spammer decided he wants to shut down the internet because Blue Security effectively stopped him from spamming.
To The Whack Job:
Dude, [...]
