I’m a few days behind on this one, but Creative Commons launched version 3.0 of their Creative Commons licenses. These updates clarify a few issues, add better internationalization support, and increase compatibility with other content licenses. You can read more background (and many more details) at the CcWiki page on the Creative Commons Version 3.0 […]

Sorry if Your Comments aren’t Up
I just sorted through this blog’s comment spam folder and found a couple of valid messages that were incorrectly flagged as spam due to some overly aggressive settings on my part. I’ve published those two comments now, but didn’t find any other legitimate ones. I apologize if your comment got deleted in this process. I’ve […]
I came across a screencast today that demos a powerful tool used by spammers to pollute message boards, wikis, blogs, and other types of online software. It’s called XRumer, and makes it easy to get through CAPTCHA tests, email confirmations, and other common techniques that supposedly prevent spammers. I’m a lot less confident in these […]

One of tasks was finding a good website hosting company, something that seems easy, but is actually pretty […]

Writer’s Block
I’ve been struggling lately to come up with things to write about here on my blog. I didn’t know why until earlier this afternoon, when I think I pinned down the reasons. First, there are a lot of blogs on the Internet, and a lot of them talk about the exact same stuff. Just take […]

Tuesday Afternoon Random Topics
Here is some quasi-random about what I’ve been up to lately. Just to warn you, it’s going to be all over the map! We got back late last night from a long weekend in the Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at the Wilderness Resort with some friends, and had a good time (minus the injuries). Pictures […]

Living on the Edge
Always one for the cutting edge, I just upgraded berbs.us to use the very recently released Movable Type 3.3 from version 3.2, which I installed last August. If you’re reading this on the site and not through my syndication feed, you’re probably noticing that something doesn’t look quite right at the moment. I’m seeing the […]

Welcome to the Blogosphere Brett!
I received a nice surprise this morning thanks to the magic of Technorati Watchlists: I discovered that my good buddy Brett Snider has started blogging! His blog, El Fuerzo, can be found on Blogspot. I’ve been gone so much lately and have been so busy that I haven’t been able to keep in touch with […]
