Update on the free stuff...
Wednesday, January 26, 2005I few people emailed me to ask if the various free (referral based) offers out there are working for me... well, yes and no. I have 4 out of the 8 referrals required for a free flat screen, 1 out of 11 for the free mini mac and none for the free Personal Video Player... which makes sense actually, I blogged about the first, I've never really talked about the mini mac one, but there is a little button link on this page so it gets a little bit of traffic, and I have never before mentioned the video player [read more...]Share this -
Some thoughts on losing weight from someone who doesn't really know that much about it...
Monday, January 24, 2005When I first came down to the US, I had to pick a doctor and go in for a physical, and when the doctor was done with all the various procedures he needed to perform, he asked me if I had any particular health concerns.

Added support for the rel="nofollow" attribute to my .Text installation...
Wednesday, January 19, 2005Google and various blog software vendors recently announced a method to deter comment spam by reducing its benefit to the spammer... it sounds like a pretty good idea, so I updated my installation of .Text to use this new attribute in the comment section by adding just a single line within comments.cs: namelink.Attributes["rel"] = "nofollow"; ... now, let's just hope it works ;) I think I might enhance this a bit later, adding the idea of approved comments that don't get this attribute for their links, since I see no reason why a non-spammer's comment shouldn't give them google-juice.
