Comment Spam
Today, both Akismet and Spam Karma 2 failed. Checked on the blog this morning to find 35 comment spam related to various medicines. There’s more coming in as I write this. Makes me wonder if the spam blockers are functioning. Either that or someone has managed to crack the blocking criteria.

My Split Personality
A month ago, I purchased the domain gbyeow.com with the purpose of developing it and turning it into a personal site. While Boredworkers.com has been serving as a personal blog of sorts for the last year or so, it isn’t as personal as I would like it to be. At the end of the day, it is still in essence a group thing, by the group, for the group.

One! Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!
While I was sleeping, the statcounter keeping track of unique visitors to the site tipped over the 100,000 mark. Not really a great achievement compared to all the other great blogs/sites out there with truckloads of traffic but a milestone nonetheless.

Boredworkers.com Upgrade
While the smaller sections of Boredworkers.com were upgraded to Wordpress 2.x when it was first released, the main site still ran on the old WP1.5.2 engine. After putting it off time and again, we have finally moved on. I’ve been tinkering with the plugins and theme these past couple of days to make them 2.x compliant. While I’m confident that nothing’s broken, there may still be some anomalies that have escaped my attention. As such, shoud you find anything that’s not working as it should be, please do drop us a line at bworkers [at] gmail [dot] com.

That’s Most Of Them And April Fools Day
Just finished recovering some 47 odd posts from cached pages. I suspect that there are more missing but it doesn’t really matter.
About 3 quarters way through the recovery process, Paul Tan asked me whether I realised I was pinging PPS. I was kinda blurred out for a moment before I realised that my WordPress trackback plugin was still switched on. An embarassing moment I suppose.

Boredworkers.com Restored
Boredworkers.com was down for approximately 30 hours, since 30-03-2006. The reason for the downtime was a crashed hard disk on the hosting server. The harddisk has been replaced but unfortunately, all previous data was lost. While I am usually in the habit of making backups, I unfortunately neglected to download the files off the server. I managed to scrunge up an old backup file from 20-02-2006 and restored it. So for the time being, Boredworkers.com is back up and running, sans some 60+ posts that were made between then and now.
