Wow, blogging isn’t entirely pointless!
I recently discovered I might be part of a class action settlement by Earthlink over early termination fees. I couldn’t remember exactly when or whether I paid them a fee, but it turns out that I blogged about Earthlink and their horrible service in 2007. So it looks like I may actually get some of that back.
That’s right, Earthlink, suck it! Suck it dry!
I found a new annoying Vista/Win7 trick!
I used “Send To CD” to burn some tracks to CD, but never burned them. Because I wanted an audio CD, not a data one. So, I burned them with another program.
Now, whenever I walk away from the computer for a while, a status balloon will appear in the status area saying “You have files ready to be written to CD. Click this balloon!”
As soon as I move the mouse, the balloon disappears, along with the status icon that accompanied it! Gotcha! Ha ha ha! I hate windows.
It seems odd to me that wordpress would have a highly configurable comment moderation system, but no way to screen pingbacks. Fortunately this plugin that I found via Nick’s blog fixes that. We’ll see if it works.
I’m also trying the Simple Trackback Validation Plugin. I think it needs a cleverer name, though.
