Again?

Blog.tr.ee gives internal errors. Nice. I wanted to update my address since their harvester doesn’t seem to get posts from my feed properly. Server logs show that it has crawled both the old rss address and the new one that it is redirected to but new posts don’t appear correctly. This site has had more problems in last couple of days than you would expect from such a great site.

Edit: 5 minutes later and it loads again. Maybe I can request an update now? Let’s see.

Didn’t get my mail back in first three minutes like yesterday, so hoping.

Silly me

And I was thinking why I’ve been getting all that comment spam lately. But of course, I updated my version of wordpress a while ago and that must have overwritten wp-comments-post.php file. So that’s why.

You can read what changes I made to it here. To have a decent error page instead of a single line of text you can replace “die” with “wp_die”. I also added the following to keep away those huge-amounts-of-links-posting-robots:

if (substr_count($comment_content, ‘<a href=’)>2){wp_die(__(‘Error: you are not allowed to post more than two links.’));}

It goes right after the line that gives you “Error: please type a comment.” Oh, and if you are a php geek and spot a security issue with using that code, I’d be glad if you let me know since I’m a beginner when it comes to php.

Edit: Since when isn’t wordpress showing you html code? Since when isn’t it surrounding paragraphs with p tags automatically? And why? :S

Computer question

It’s about BIOS, but I’ll start from the beginning.

It’s been everything but ordinary morning so far. Horrible pain I’ve had for past couple of days finally shows signs of retreat. I never thought that removed tonsils could cause so much ache. So after waking my computer checked the inbox and had a letter where someone asked for a song they saw in my listening list on last.fm. I got carried away browsing last.fm, discovered three interesting blogs and finally ended up reading forum topic about BIOS signals.

So here’s the problem: sometimes when my computer resumes from hibernation I get this long system beep. I’ve been thinking for a while that I should find out what that means but I never really got to do it. But today I sort of stumbled on this thread and it suggests that my computer’s power supply is dead. Or does it? Because I’ve always considered my English good but this site confused me and now I’m not fully sure that my long beep responds to sound defined as continual in award table. Besides “dead” sounds like not working at all, but my computer works, it just gives this beep once in a while. So maybe I’m having a memory problem instead?

How do you know whether you have a power supply or memory problem? How do you repair them?

It’s weird that after all the browsing it is still so early. I expected it to be around 12 but it’s just 11 o’clock. Maybe because I woke up after seven..
