DasBlog Fighting Comment Spam
I’ve been running the released version of DasBlog 1.9 [DasBlog 1.9.6264] from just about the time it was released (on the 264th day of 2006). It’s been more than six months and I finally do have my SLT ADSL connection, so I upgraded my blog to one of the more recent DasBlog daily builds. One of [...]

So, just out of curiosity I typed in “youngest blogger” in Google, the first result eventually took me to this site. Guess what that little dudes name [...]
Oops! Britney Does it Again!
No, I’m not talking of all those rumors about what she’s been doing. In fact, Jamie Kennedy’s find would have hopefully put a stop to that nonsense. Yahoo!

Web Sites On-the-go
Opera Mini is Super! plus its FREE!
