Revamps to Commenting and RSS

Revamps to Commenting and RSS 02/15/2003 08:39 PM

In my previous post, I asked that users who requested my old RSS file in news aggregators update to the new link. Phil left a comment which raised a good point. From what he said, I have changed my error handling to return an HTTP message of 301 Moved Permanently and redirect to the new RSS feed when the old feed is requested. I've tested the results with Syndirella and it worked. I could tell it worked because my access logs showed my request as one for the new URL, and not the old URL, even though I requested the old one. In the past I would have received an error code as well. However, let me know if you have any problems.

Also new, I completed the non-dynamic commenting system. Most of you will never see it because your browser supports the dynamic version, but this will affect a few people.

I spent several hours trying to install James Seng's CAPTCHA comment spam reduction MT hack, but didn't have any luck. Seng isn't answering questions any more about his hack, but apparently (undocumented), it requires a newer version of GD.pm than the antiquated 1.38 version that my webhost, phpwebhosting.com, has installed. I tried convincing my webhost to upgrade their version of GD, but they declined, and when I tried to do a private install, I found so many other packages that also needed upgrading that in the end I gave it up. The problem with comment spam is that I always feel like my site has been defaced, and I wonder why someone would go to all the trouble when I remove the comment spam on a daily basis. I have to remind myself that it isn't anything personal, the spammer hasn't even been to my site, it is just a script. So back to the old Spambad system until MT 3.0 ships. At least it has sharpened by SQL skills, devising a new SQL statement every day to erase the 90 spam comments while keeping the two valid comments. In any case, please feel free to comment again....

I have been getting some negative e-mail on us locking down our commentng system, we now require you to register with Typekey. I want to explain why we had to lock down the comments. I was spending 20 to 30 minutes a day removing spams that contained adult or inappropriate content. The spammers where using commenting programs that would put several 100 comments per spamming run places throughout our 2500 articles. We had a tool to help us clean those comments up but it took entirely to much time.

The new system is enable through a service called Typekey. Once you are registered with Typekey you will be able to post comments on any Movabletype 3.0 or greater webllog. They have a very clear policy that they will not disclose any more information than what you allow in your profile. If you look at my profile you will see that I have opted to allow you to see a variety of information about me. All of that information is OPTIONAL.

No they do require you to divulge a minimal amount of information when you signup but the main point is to verify posters identities. We do not require your e-mail address be posted on the website. This is to keep spam out of your inbox when spammers come harvesting e-mail address's.

I encourage our readers to forward me any concerns you have directly to geek at geeknewscentral.com

Comcast Outages Prevent Comcast From
Commenting On Comcast Outages 04/14/2005 01:21 PM
Last week, we noted that Comcast was having widespread outage problems, which they chalk ed up to "scheduled maintenance", even though no one was actually informed of said schedule ahead of time. It turns out that schedule is pretty crowded, because all week long, there have been continued reports of recurring outages all across the Comcast network. Comcast, of course, continues to be pretty much silent on the issue, leaving its increasingly fed up call center staff to deal with incredibly angry customers who feel they're getting no information at all. How hard is it to admit that they screwed up and they're working on fixing the problem? Instead of chalking it up to bogus scheduled maintenance or pretending there's nothing wrong, admit what the problem is and give people real updates. People would still be unhappy, but at least they'd feel like the company wasn't ignoring them. Of course, maybe they can't do that because Comcast staffers don't have any internet access either...

Motorola's A780 See-Through Smartphone 07/28/2004 01:20 PM

Infosync has some hinkfo about another one of the phones announced by Motorola this week, the A780, a Linux-based handset that will run on EDGE (new wireless broadband fastness) networks. And while it's full-featured as anything -- 1.3-megapixel camera, gostosa! -- the most interesting thing about the A780 is its screen. Through a hole in the flip-top basic information like Caller ID can be seen, while the full display is accessible when opened. It's a smart design; hopefully developers will take advantage of it.

UNIX Authors Rush to Patch Telnet Flaw

UNIX Authors Rush to Patch Telnet Flaw 03/31/2005 05:03 PM
Several high-profile distributors of the BSD version of the Telnet protocol have rolled out patches for a critical bug that could cause system-hijack attacks. The bug, which was reported by iDefense Inc., is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow that could allow the execution of arbitrary code with user privileges.

A successful attacker would have to convince the user to launch a Telnet session with a malicious server. A malicious Web page could be designed that could launch the Telnet client on the user's system by clicking a link, or, using the IFRAME tag, by loading the page. Telnet is a protocol that supports virtual terminal sessions across IP networks including the Internet. The Telnet client program provides the interface for the terminal session to the user.
