Comment Spam

Submitted by jbreland on Mon, 06/19/2006 - 01:31

LegRoom.net has been hit hard by comment spam on a couple of occasions. I thought that I had solved the problem after the first ordeal by restricting comments to authenticated users, but apparently that control can be bypassed (which I verified myself).

So, I hardcoded the logged-in user requirement for posting any comment. This should (keeping my fingers crossed) fix the problem.

BTW, would someone mind posting a reply to this thread just to verify that I haven't broken comments for authenticated users? Everything should be working, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks!

Firefox and Thunderbird Tips and Tricks Pages Updated

Submitted by jbreland on Sun, 01/29/2006 - 18:02

It took a little while to get everything in order, but I've finally completed my Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Tips and Tricks pages. These pages contain various tips I use in my Firefox and Thunderbird package. This includes a detailed list of what I consider to be the most useful extensions and themes for each, as well as my personal user.js and prefs.js preference files.

This update covers Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.5.

New Application - Universal Extractor

Submitted by jbreland on Sun, 01/29/2006 - 16:36

I've added a new application named Universal Extractor to my software section. This application integrates into Windows Explorer and allows right-click extraction for any type of archive, including installers.

Over twenty types of archives are currently supported. Full details about usage and supported formats can be found on the information page.

New Applications in my Software section

The first two applications have been added to my Software section. Actually, they've been on there for some time now, but I just updated both of them and realized that I never did announce them on the front page. 0ops.

The first two apps I've added are Modify Path and the Open With Arguments extension. Check them out (full descriptions are included on each page) and feel free to send me any comments and suggestions.

Hope you enjoy!

New Open Source section - Jared's Software

Submitted by jbreland on Sat, 08/27/2005 - 20:02

I've added a new section to the Open Source portion of this website titled Jared's Software. This area contains the applications and scripts that I've either written, packaged, or contributed to in some way.

Only one application is currently listed in the section, but this will grow as I have the time to post them. Since I often spend a good deal of time on these projects, I wanted to share my work in the hopes that others may benefit as well. Please e-mail me if you have any questions about it.

By the way, I know it's been a long time between each of the last few updates, but rest assured this site isn't dead. I've just had very little free time for front-page updates.
