- I’ve been somewhat plagued by a deluge of spam comments on the site recently, so I was very interested in this hack to delete a spam comment directly from the email notification. I agree with Erik though—a direct link to also rebuild the site and add the offending IP to the banned list would be just perfect. Does anyone have any clever strategies for dealing with this kind of thing? |

- What do you see when you watch your life from an external position ? Are you boring, interesting, thrilling, average, exceptional, like the others ? When I was a little kid I always felt and somehow knew that something wasn't right in my life. But I couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong. I got used to this feeling you sometimes have when you ask yourself if you are still dreaming and when this nightmare will finally end. |
