Mimi Postcard
I got this postcard a long time ago. Don’t you love the handwriting?
If I got cool mail like this every day, I’d quit using the web.

In their infinite wisdom, White Wolf, makers of the RPGs titled [supernatural thing] : the [interesting word] have created Pimp the Backhanding. Oh, brother.
Something I heard on the radio this morning put me in mind of Zobmondo, a crazy board game in which players must vote on whether a person will choose one extreme option or another.
The issue on the radio was related to tobacco chew spit. Apparently, some bozo had stolen a truck, and when he went to take a drink of the soda that the driver had left in the cup holder, he met with quite a surprise. He ended up calling 911 because he was so nauseated, and that’s how the police caught him.
Every time I update Spam Karma it takes significant tweaking to get it to work. Today, it’s just plain dead.
This is a real problem since I had been recommending Spam Karma to everyone with WordPress as the ultimate comment spam solution. But I can’t do that any more.
I did a WordPress upgrade today. Another 1.5 beta from CVS. There are new fields in the database that made things go wonky. If you upgraded and you’re having trouble registering users and adding comments, you’ll need to actually run the upgrade.php script in the admin directory.
I also did an upgrade of Mom’s site last night. (Hi, Mom!) I set the Presentation to “Default” so it looks all Kubrick-y. I’m sure it wasn’t a big deal, but putting it back is just a matter of setting the Presentation Theme to “Classic”.
Along with the changes to WP 1.5, I’ve made a bunch of updates to OSA, which is currently the spam protection I’m running here. It seems that the WP devs added a lot of filter stuff to the commenting engine, and there’s really no telling if it will stay stable until release so that OSA would continue to work. That is to say, it doesn’t look like they’re finished updating the code. Last time I looked through trackback, it didn’t even use the code that they’re currently modifying. Hopefully, that’s all up-to-date by now.
