mish-mash

You know you’ve programmed too many hours in the last week if — when typing an email, you type "(I think snarkiness can be excused in this instance());"

Blogging things bothering me:

  • People who use the MTRedirect plugin to fight spam, but fail to also then put the commenter’s email or website URI in the title attribute of the link.
  • Commenters that use the same name as the site owner for their comment name. Dude, if the site owner is Mike (and he always signs his comments as Mike), then don’t use Mike as your name. You can be Mike #2, or Mikey, or Michael, but you cannot be Mike.
  • As a corollary to the above, if you are new to a site, lay low for a couple days and check out the common commenter names. If there is already a Joe, sign your comment as something else. I mean it’s just proper blog etiquette.
  • This doesn’t really fit in the list, but kudos to the people that already constantly follow this etiquette
