Another one bites the dust
June 16, 2006
The war against those spam bots ain't over yet, but the glory of the last battle is my. I was able to strike back with all the weapons I've developed in my secret laboratory deep inside an unnamed mountain, on an unnamed planet in an unknown galaxy, well basically in my working room. To the problem . . . this time I got spams via the contact form I have on this website, I guess I got those bad things because the contact form doesn't have an image validatior. Since I'm not a pro in all that stuff I wasn't able to include such an image validator in the form, but I managed to block those spam bots. I'm curious about how long this anti-spam shield will last, how long it'll take until the next spam shows up in my inbox sent throught this contact form.
Restructuring . . . again
June 7, 2006
Being away from home for over a month was simply great. I needed this time out for sure, I got my mind free of things and now it's time to get new ideas. While I was gone I had the idea to give this website a new structure . . . again. The lest restructuring was fine, but I wasn't able to do something so therefore this little work in the background. I had to upgrade my site so mod_rewrite would work. What is mod_rewrite ? It's a module for Apache servers that rewrites a dynamic URL into a static one. This was neccessary so all search engines could index the whole website. Most search engines can't follow dynamic links withing a website, can't follow links which contain some specific symbols. Static URL's are easyly followed which will lead to a complete ( I guess ) index of the website.
I also managed to make the website smaller, deleted unimportant and unneccessary code parts, cleared double entries etc. This should give a slightly better page load . . . we talk here about nanoseconds, so basically you ( the visitors of the site ) won't see any improvement in the page loading.
In the next time I'll upload some more photographs, maybe some manipulations aswell. I checked how much webspace ther is left on the server and it's enough so, I'll fill it up with a few new things, until then enjoy in the things available online.
