Boggle The Mind

I went to the Apple site today, and was confronted on the homepage with a rather amusing new ad. It’s part of the new Get a Mac series. The pie chart line killed me. Enjoy.

I first heard of BarCamp at SXSW, and while I didn’t go to BarCamp Austin while I was in town, it sounded intruiging enough to pay attention when I found out that Ian was planning to organize a BarCamp here in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, I just missed BarCamp Boston this weekend because I only found out about it last week. However, there’s a movement to get one together up here in New Hampshire as well, so if you are reading this from the local area and want to get some more information, head on over to the BarCamp Manchester page and help grow the NH web community!

So I’ve been falling victim to the comment spammers, and I finally decided to try looking into some plugins. I looked on the the Nucleus plugin website, and looked at a few of the options. I tried the Expiring Comments plugin first, but it either didn’t work or I installed it wrong. Then I started looking at some of the others, and somehow ended up in the forums at this post. I tried the plugin mentioned, and so far (over the weekend), no spam. It looks like the next version of Nucleus will have some better built in tools, and some plugins that should be a step up in terms of moderation and configuration, but for now I’m just happy to be through the weekend without the normal amount of spam.
