Spam No More

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Alas, my love affair with Typo is over. While it was nifty to get rails installed, and to work with ruby in getting the blog running initially, I’ve been bogged down by slow rendering pages, SPAM, viagra, cialis, nexium, and ads for whatever other drug one can possibly think of… not to mention the ever-so-popular “increase your penis size by 11 inches” spam. UGH!

But now, spam no more. I’ve moved the blog to wordpress, with Akismet as my ally. Little did I know, this $hit is pretty darn nifty in itself. Installation took a surprisingly short time, the plugins are abundant, and good lord, I love this theme. Furthermore, in the weeks I’ve lazily spent migrating my posts from the old blog to here, Akismet has successfully done away with over 500 spam comments. *ucking brilliant.

As mentioned regarding the migration, all the posts from Typo have been imported. I’m considering moving the legitimate comments here too, but haven’t done so yet.

The focus now will consist of posting about all the important stuff I’ve missed out on writing about in the past year, no thanks to my spam epidemic. Here’s hoping you the layout, and what’s to come. So far, I certainly do.

Something Smells Good

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

It took a while, but it’s ready.

What took months to deliberate and toil over has finally been completed.

Pleasant Fragrances is my new business venture. It’s a web portal for purchasing brand name perfumes, colognes, deodorants, gift sets, and other forms of fragrances.

Admittedly, the site isn’t quite perfect yet- I intend to add features such as:


  • bulletin board
  • polls
  • blogs
  • product ratings/reviews


So as to create a more unique venue compared to other perfume sites on the web. The barebones layout is complete, however, and ready to be used.

That having been said, please tell your friends, and BUY SOMETHING!

And just like that, Jenny was gone….

New theme in place. Was considering some other things to do with the site, but for now this will suffice; looks hella better than the default azure.

Now back to watching forrest gump.

FYI, my page looks like @$$ in Internet Explorer (doesn’t everything?). Do yourself a favor and get Firefox
… the better browser.

After many a headache, brainfarts, spazzes, driving Mark insane, and head-banging, the blog is finally up! Yes… it uses the ruby-based Typo engine. Now if i could only post something useful….
