durned spammers

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

I’ve spent a lot of time of late fighting off spammers that are exploiting contact forms.
The simplest method I’ve found is to find the exploited form and add a line that makes it so that it can only send to one recipient.

if (preg_match(’ /[\r\n,;’”]/ ‘, $_POST[’email’])) {
exit(’Invalid email address’);
}
else {

Sometimes when we touch

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

the honesty’s too much
and I have to close my eyes
and hide.
Shelly just does that to me.
Whenever I’m down, Shelly lifts me.
I imagine some people get frustrated with me because I run to her when I need to escape.
When I’m with her, there is little else. I’d say, nothing else, but it depends […]

honesty can be a cruel mistress

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

I’ve always had a problem with that honesty bit. Some would say, I’m a little too honest.
It may be true that honesty needs to be held in check at times. Like when Aunt Gertie (No. I don’t really have an Aunt Gertie) asks if her new slacks make her butt look too big.
But, when you […]

Work is bad; mkay?

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out when the last time I worked was.
I know I’ve had jobs that I considered work. It just seems like they never lasted long enough to find their way into my memory banks.
I’ve always had a passion for what I do. I enjoy the things I do that […]

damned words

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

I had started writing the following on FU. Then decided it may be a better suited as a blog subject (as I suspected when I started the thread.
[quote]. . . I like words. . .[/quote]So do I!
Once upon a time, I liked them too much.
I would take studies in semantics, […]

Number Three

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

Because Mikey made me do. *SoftWareRevue blames mikey.
I surely didn’t want to talk of the evil that I dare not speak her name.
This is the one that sucked all the life outa me.
This is the one that destroyed all I had.
This is the one that made me realize there is no way […]

Best Thong Evah!

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

The PermaThong project has shifted into high gear.
I think more validity can be gained by announcing that PermaThongs have won the highly coveted “Best New Product of the Decade” award.
Now comes the bit on if I should register bestnewproductofthedecade.com and have PermaThong (the only entrant) to win the award, or if I should just have […]

FU!

Monday, November 7th, 2005

FU has been keeping me busy of late.
But, with the help of a group of kind people, she is ready for launch mode.
*SoftWareRevue initiates launch sequence
Now maybe I can get back here and start saying all them things that are stuffin’ up me head.
