f*cking spammers

Spammers are one of the most obnoxious things on the net that you have to deal with nowadays. Not that it is enough that they fill up our email inboxes, they have also discovered blogs and comment functions and use it to promote their stuff.

So, thanks to them, I have upgraded Nucleus and searched for some plugins that will obstruct them.
Unfortunately, the NP_CAPTCHA plugin did not work for me, so I have just installed a blacklist plugin. I have not disabled anonymous comments, yet but if the amount of blogspam is increasing, I will eventually do so.

Took the time to write a small recap of the 21st CCC congress.

Some memes

Since there is not much I can do, anyhow, I have started to sign more than 150 keys of the CCC keysigning party.

Besides that I am reading some blogs that started some new memes. Meme what? In case you have no idea, what a meme is, wikipedia knows the answer.

So, here we go:

My new year’s resolution is 1280×1024 (on a 19′ Eizo TFT)

I have been to the following countries so far:

and to the following states in the US:

Overall I have visited 19 countries so far. I guess I should look into visiting more parts of Asia, South America and Africa to improve this.
