Minx Update/Jedi Mind Tricks

How's Minx coming along Pixie? I've had a major site redesign in mind for awhile now, but wanted to wait for Minx.

Also, I know that this question gets thrown in every once in awhile, but isn't there some way to implement a comment registration system? I have so many trolls that know how to thwart IP blocking that I'm seriously considering just closing comments altogether.

Jedi mind trick: I will start a comment registration system. These are not the droids we're looking for. Move along.

Comment management

I no longer get email notification of comments on my blog. I think it stopped around the time we went to the newest servers. Is this no longer a viable option? I've been dependent upon these notifications to know when to do some manual spam-busting.

I also would like to know if there is a way for me to manage my blog's comments without having to look at individual entries. I know in the editing menu there are listed the five most recent comments, but is there some way I can look at, say, the last 100 comments? Or all of them together? Granted, I don't have that many, but it would be nice to be able to go through the comments as a group, rather than individually. Is that capability already available, but I have somehow missed it?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Is the Clock Broken?

My deferred entries seem to be showing up too soon, and the time/date stamp on new entries seems rather odd...and it's not just an hour off for the daylight savings time...

Blup or Blurp

Had a huge wave of spam coming in just now, and I ended up changing the name of the spam... uh, comment script.

If you are on MT 2.6, it's now "blup.cgi".

If you are on MT 3.2, it's "blurp.cgi".

The next time you update your blog, your main page will pick this up, but the link will be wrong on older posts unless you rebuild them.

Update: To make it clearer, until you post a new entry or rebuild your blog, people won't be able to comment.

Mookie News

Daughter Mookie is now a sophomore in college and is taking a course about movies - editing, beginning directing, etc (I think that's what it's about). One of her assignments was to do a music video, and being who she is, a Zappa song seemed a natural.

My Video is on google videos! Woo. Let me know what you think about it.

The people in it are my friends: Molly, Shannen, Diedre, Renee, and Shae.


Proud Papa, signing off.

Massive Spam Prob.

I am getting just LOADS of x-rated spam. Is there any way I can stem the flow long enough to clean it up?

Picture Problem

I just tried to upload a picture to Rocket Jones, and instead of showing me the HTML, I got "error 500 - bugger".

So I hand coded it, but get the "alt" description instead (which is nice, but not what I wanted).

A second attempt to upload the photo let me know that the picture already existed, but that I could overwrite it. So I did, but still no joy.

Anyone else have this issue before? How did you fix it? Thanks.

Can't Post on Jawa

OK Pixy, I got the rejection message again. Here it is:

mkdir /home/demphist: Permission denied at lib/MT/FileMgr/Local.pm line 104

I'm not signing in under that name, and my permissions shouldn't be conditioned by that name, but there it is.

Update: Never mind. I'm an idiot. I was trying to post to Demosophia on blog3. Can't believe I did that.

Protecting Images From Theft

I recently had a photo lifted from my site and avused by another blogger. Had an ugly fight to get it off the guy's site.

How do I protect such images from theft in the future? I want to prevent the whole "right-click"/copy thing fom working.

Run Away! Run Away!

Off on holiday tomorrow morning. Back sometime the following week.

Anyone who breaks the server while I'm away is in BIG trouble.

A MuNu email icon?

A few weeks ago, David (of Rishon-Rishon notoriety) and I were discussing via email the use of the "Joe@yourMuNublogdomain.Mu.Nu" email forwarding gizmo and we got on the subject of email icon generators (see: http://services.nexodyne.com/email/index.php)

Anyhow, I got to thinkin' tonight.... could someone with "mad computer programming skillz" or Photoshopping talent whip up a snazzy Mu.Nu email icon where Munuvians can just pop in their email prefix?

Just a thought.

Missing Archives

Just went to my archives to find a particular post and noted that my August, September and October Archives are missing.... Too, my blog started showing up with all kinds of squiggles etc... I tried rebuilding as it seems that a prior post suggested taht, but no luck...

Can't Post on Jawa

I can log in using the blog3 server, but when I attempted to post something on the Jawa Report I got a "demphist denied permission" or something like that. I figured maybe Rusty had fired me, but he'd tell me right? It may have something to do with the fact that whoever set up the account for me used several different and creative spellings of both "Demosophist" and "Demosophia" which may be screwing things up. Everything seems to work on the regular server, but not on blog3.

GOT IT

It was a quota problem.

The account that MT lives under was running out of disk space. So when you went to rebuild your blog, maybe it worked, maybe it didn't, maybe it half worked.

Bleh.

IF YOUR BLOG IS MISSING IN ACTION, LOG INTO MOVABLE TYPE, AND EDIT AND SAVE THE LATEST POST.

That should fix everything, and now that I've found the underlying problem, it should stay fixed.


Then I thought, aha! This is why image thumbnails aren't working too.

But no.

Update: I ran through the list of blogs over yonder (hi everyone!), and rebuilt anyone who seemed to be in trouble, so you should all be good now.

Er... My Blog is Missing

Blather Review is a blank white page! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!

It was working this morning. That I know. Then I went in and tried to add a Paypal button and when I looked at the site it was gone. I removed the code that I entered but everything is still gone, so I don't think that I did anything to cause this.

Where Is My Site?

It is missing when I go to it.

Nothing at all shows up.
