Been a bit blue lately so been a bit quiet lately.
Plus, between you and me, you wouldn’t believe the trouble the Ministry has been having with spambots.
So the old girl has been undergoing a bit of a behind-the-scenes facelift, hence the occasional appearance in recent days of a Maintenance Mode screen greeting visitors.
The Ministry is now running WordPress 2.3. Hell, yeah. I knew that would impress you. (Actually, it should: the ‘Advanced’ tab of the improved posting interface means it’s lemon squeazy to insert really cool characters like ?, ? and ?. I have no use for them but – hey, who cares? And you can now underline text and change text colour really easily – and very annoyingly. I really need to get a life.)
And the Ministry engaged some management consultants to undertake an efficiency audit of its security services, leading to the outsourcing of spam handling solutions to Spam Karma 2.3. Eat that, spambots. And shove your v.I.a.G.r.A. up your arse.
So if this cures the spam problem I might get some time later in the week to write and post another SMIP.
Hasn’t it got cold all of a sudden? I hope you’re all wearing your vests.
I was about to say that just because we don’t always agree with the SMIPs doesn’t mean we want them to stop!
I am considering SMICs but I still haven’t perfected the art of DVD “grabbing” (or rather don’t have the software or wherewithal to do it) which would have permitted me to isolate specific extracts from films for orsonwelles.co.uk.
SMICs, to be meaningful or tangible, will have to wait until then. Meantime – more SMIPs please.
