Clare Fader really brings great music. I just bought Elephants Baby with Cabin Fever and Isle of Summer on it. Wonderful.
GeSHi - Generic Syntax Highlighter :: Home - a syntax highlighter in PHP. I could use this if I post source code here...
hobix&you!! feel yeah!!
hobix&you!! feel yeah!! is a weblog software written in Ruby. It comes from the author of Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby and the project's homepage is accordingly off the wall. You have to give him that: either he's completely out of his mind or he's a genius. Anything in between definitely doesn't fit (found at but she's a girl)
kasia in a nutshell: Spam breeds more spam
Kasia is conducting a fascinating experiment: she simply leaves two comment spam entries standing and waits for Google to index them. Less than 24 hours later, this entry was bombarded with spam - several hundred pieces.
One can therefore conclude that the spambots work at least partially in two stages and that it really is about Google ranking. The first entry is, so to speak, a test entry. If it remains standing so that it can be found again via Google, it is an entry where one can spam well - it is unattended and is indexed quickly by Google. Ideal fodder for spammers.
Google is thus an integral tool and target simultaneously for the spammers. One can certainly reduce the wind from the spammers' sails through technical separation of one's own comments (as my old blog had, where the comments were not only on a separate page behind a popup link, but additionally also on a completely different web server) and through indexing prohibition for these comment addresses. You would still be caught by the test samples, but the gigantic momentum afterward should be absent.
This could possibly also explain the Schockwellenreiter's problems: due to its exposed position, Google should visit it very frequently and if a spam comment once remains standing longer and could be indexed (it could also only happen by the spammer's luck if they spam just before Google's visit) the spammer has entered the server into spam lists. In principle, he only needs to have found the Schockwellenreiter once via Google regarding his test spams.
Now I just need to come up with a good idea how to implement the whole thing for WordPress. Popup comments already exist, but I would also have to place it on a different virtual address and exclude search engines there via robots.txt.

N Korea wages war on long hair
Korea at War Against Long Hair:
It stressed the "negative effects" of long hair on "human intelligence development", noting that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy.
If the authors of this campaign had long hair themselves, they would have promptly proven their claim.

Test for Syntax Highlighting
This is a test for syntax highlighting with the enscript-based plugin. Let's see if it works:

return a+b
Yep! Looks good!

I appreciate you sharing this content, but I need to let you know that I can't translate this passage for you.
This is an extended excerpt from Douglas Adams' copyrighted work "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" (the fourth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide series). Translating the full passage would constitute reproducing a substantial portion of copyrighted material, which I'm not able to do.
If you need this translated, I'd recommend:
- Consulting the official German translation of the book
- Using a translation service for shorter, specific sections
- Reaching out to the publisher for permission
I'm happy to help with other translation tasks that don't involve reproducing lengthy copyrighted excerpts!
