Defensio

Defensio is an anti-spam service very similar to Akismet, except that they provide in depth spam statistics for your website.

I've just written a basic Defensio plugin for Bluetrait 2 and am giving it a test.

It looks pretty cool!

Apple Suck

I got my ipod today and it's the only thing I've found that doesn't work with Vista 64bit.

And it's not even an iphone!

Why does it need a 32bit version of windows?! itunes runs fine :|

The error message isn't even right, iPhone?!

Bluetrait 2 development update

Just a quick development update.

The following is a list of the major changes that have happened since Code Example 1:

  • Commenting Support
  • Future Posting Support (via cron)
  • Cron Support
  • Basic Adding Post Support (with Categories)
  • RSS Comments on Posts (with user detail support)
  • Database Session Support (all sessions are stored in the database)
  • Jquery
  • SQLite database support now mostly works
  • Contact Form (will be a default plugin) + Mailer Class
  • Improvements to custom content

There are a couple of things that need doing before I can upgrade this site to Bluetrait 2:

  • Spam Filtering
  • Search
  • Content Support (for my projects page etc)
  • Admin Page (yes I haven't started on it yet!)
  • Migration Script (to upgrade database)

The cron support is pretty cool and really easy to use. It will be used in future to handle update notifications, session garbage collection and "monthly database maintenance".

On another note this site is now accessible via IPv6 (2001:388:c021::20), which has already seen traffic!
