CommentAPI Circumvents CAPTCHA
Just so we’re all clear about this, the convenience of the CommentAPI, that nifty little service that allows users to make comments to your blog from the comfort of their favorite RSS aggregator, comes at a cost. Enabling the CommentAPI supplies a back door for comment spammers who want to bypass the CAPTCHA guard posted at the front door.

Oh man, I have been head deep into “real” work lately, which explains the relative silence on my blog. In any case, it’s time to jump back in the fray with some light technical content.
Read MoreMy First Pair Of Air Jordans
So it’s maybe thirteen years too late, but I finally have my first pair of Air Jordans. Yeah, they don’t have anywhere near the cachet they did back in the day, but hey, better late than never. Here’s a photo to commemorate the occasion.

Read MoreBlogging to Win a PDC Ticket
This is my feeble attempt win an all expense trip to the PDC this year.
All I have to do is explain why I want to attend. Unfortunately, I’ll be

minted bill would suffice.

I’ve heard of writer’s block, but never
dealt with coder’s block until today. Seriously, I’ve always been able

Email Is An Addiction?
So they say that email is an addiction.
Read MorePlease Trust And Empower Your Employees. There's Always A Bug In The Process.
In my limited experience so far, and from anecdotal evidence of nearly everyone I’ve ever met who had a boss at one time or another, managers as a whole still do not trust their employees. It’s a real shame if you think about it, because the whole point of hiring employees is to scale up and create an infrastructure capable of handling more work (and ostensibly more profit) than you can now.

I know it’s been around a good while now and has been the darling of the blogging community far that time, but I only recently started to play with Flickr. My initial resistance was due to my complete dissatisfaction with other online photo management tools such as oFoto, Yahoo Photos, SnapFish etc…
