SolusVM Review from a SolusVM VPS provider
Mike at MDDHosting just wrote up a review on SolusVM, the control panel he uses for all of his VPS clients. It's an interesting read for anyone considering a control panel for their own VPS company, or for choosing a VPS hosting company based on the control panel they use.
The good: Many important features, adding new and important features quickly.
The bad: Poor support
The review: http://www.mikedvb.com/2010/04/22/solusvm-vps-control-panel-good-and-bad/ or view my cache of the review: here. (Because companies tend to pull stupid moves when seeing reviews like this one.)

I recently found this online and saved it to my computer... Now I can't seem to find where I got it from or whom to credit it to. In any case, it was a very hilarious and enjoyable read. Check it out!
FFXIV: Last names (probably) required
So, it is no secret that last names appear to be mandatory in the current alpha version of FFXIV. We also have no way of knowing if that is likely to change before FFXIV is released. So here is my suggestion to anyone who is considering playing.

Killing Trackback Spam
So I have had repeated issues with one site repeatedly sending mass trackbacks about a post of mine that they stole. Until now, askimet has been marking them as spam and I then manually delete them, but I am sick of clearing several of these per day. So I am trying out some plugins to fix this problem. The first wordpress plugin I am trying is WP-Spam-Free and it looks good. It was easy to install, seems fully featured, and claims to have some pretty advanced methods at detecting and blocking this stuff without interfering with worthwhile comments and trackbacks.
Anyways, stay tuned for an update on how well this works out.
