Here’s one from the “it doesn’t happen often, but…” file…
Call them what you want, “spam blogs”, “link blogs”, whatever. You’ve all seen the sites I’m talking about that contain no content other than a crapload of advertising, plus links to legitimate articles on other blogs that all focus on a specific subject-matter. Some are worse [...]

Fuck me running!
I’m a software developer by trade. I know, I know, you’d never guess that from my handle, thecodepounder, right? Well, be that as it may, I write software for a living (I wouldn’t presume to describe my job in resume’-terms on this blog, e.g. “conceive, design, write and implement world-class solutions, the brilliance [...]

Whew! Home again. I guess my hiatus is over. Weekends and vacations are never long enough, unless they are too long, and too long is much worse.
FWIW, my family and I spent 5 days in the mountains on a very well-deserved mini-vacation. Nothing like unplugging for a few days to recharge your batteries. No internet, [...]

WordPress v2.5 rocks. And, the only problem that I had with RC1 [...]

Comment spam sucks. It just drains your energy and sucks the will to continue right out of you. Comment spammers really suck my balls. I know, I know. WordPress even says so, “Comment spam is a fact of life if you have a blog.” But it still drains you.
Anyway, I’m trying Dave’s Spam Karma 2. [...]

At least when it comes to my list of favorite quotes. His latest bit of profundity to be added to the list:

That’s right, I’ve invested a substantial amount of money (well, none, really) and registered this domain. Now, instead of being a sub-domain of codepounder.com, the Negligible Knowledge Base has its own domain: negligibleknowledgebase.com.
“But why?” you may ask. Well, I don’t know, just seemed like a logical next move since this is clearly going to [...]
