Back from my trip to Orlando. Much fun was had, much baking in the sun was done. I’ll put some pictures up in my gallery shortly, once I’ve gone through and organized them a bit.
Off to Orlando
Headed off to Orlando tomorrow for a little mini-vacation. We’re going to drive down there, so it should be an interesting road trip. We’re going to hit SeaWorld, Kennedy Space Center, Cirque du Soleil Nouba, and hang out at and Universal Studios Orlando.
Should be fun.
While I’m gone, I probably won’t be blogging, and I’ll be turning commenting off. Since upgrading to 3.0D, spam’s been a bit of a problem lately without MTBlacklist to filter things out. So rather than come back and have to delete several hundred spam comments, I’m just going to turn it off. I’ll turn it back on when I come back.
Reason #53 to own a large boat or sailboat
So that you can bring morning rush hour traffic to a complete standstill for 15 minutes while the drawbridge is raised and lowered so you can get one with your boating day.
e-Everything
I was just watching Kitchen of the Future on the Food Network.
Connected refrigerators that know what’s in your fridge with RFID-tagged foods. The stove that you can control with your cell phone. The steam iron that tells you if it’s on, or that it’s still hot.
So now our e-fridge can tell us if we have any e-cookie dough to e-bake in our e-oven and then later e-eat. And we can do this all with our e-cellphone (mostly).
MT-Blacklist Wishlist
In Your MT-Blacklist Wish List, Jay asks what should go into the next version of MT-Blacklist.
Here is what I’d like to see:
- Blacklist entry editing. Sometimes I make a mistake entering one of my own entries, and the only way to fix it is to delete the old one and add a new entry.
- Integration with comments and comment moderation (MT 3). Something like a button that says “This is spam” and would add the entry into Blacklist.
- How about storing the blacklist entries in a a database table? It might slow down the blacklist though
Although not plugin related, another thing I’d like to see is the format of the Latest 100 changes changed to something that could just be copy/pasted into the blacklist. Then I wouldn’t have to grab the master blacklist file all the time and have it tell me that most of the entries are already in the blacklist.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. If I come up with more, I’ll add them in.
