Spam Karma

The past week I have been having serious issues with Spam on this blog. For some reason my previous spam checker Hashcash was letting some spam through and I was getting at least 30 comments a day via email awaiting my approval that were all spam. So I decided to try a different Spam plugin called Spam Karma. Right away it detected the recent spams and adds them to the blacklist. So far I haven’t received any new Spams but the day is still young. Hopefully though I won’t be having any more spam issues.

Simpsons House Made a Reality

simpsons home

Some hardcore Simpsons fan in Australia actually went and built the Simpsons home from the cartoon. The interior is like a duplicate from the show with the same furniture and paintings on the wall. I wouldn’t live in the house but it does look pretty cool. Now if only someone would build Moe’s Bar.. here in Kuwait. More pics after the jump. [Link]

I Listen to Oldies

I am sitting at work listening to music and I realized something, I am old. I am listening to R&B songs from like the year 2000 and I realized thats like nearly 6 years ago. Then I started thinking about Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Blind Melon which are from the early 90’s and I realized, I listen to music thats like 15 years old. In the 80’s when my parents used to listen to music from the late 60s and 70s, we used to call those oldies. So now, is Pearl Jam an oldie?

Jolie the Great

Was just checking out some hi-res shots of Angelina Jolie on idontlikeyouinthatway.com when I noticed a tattoo on her right arm. Its arabic and I believe it says “al-3azeemah” meaning the great one. This just made me dislike her more then I used to. [Link]

Oh Maybach

Last time I saw a Maybach in Kuwait was back in May. Since then I hadn’t seen another Maybach in until the day before yesterday a golden colored one pulled up next to me at a traffic light. It was the first time I had gotten this close to one and I realized the car is pretty big. There was a guy driving it, not a driver which struck me odd since I would have definetly expected a Maybach with a driver you know. So anyway guess what? Yesterday I saw another Maybach but it was white. Pretty cool, 2 Maybachs 2 days in a row.

I first saw the spy shots back in July and now the official images are out. My opinon still stands, I hate the front but love the ass. The inside is pretty decent, good to see American car makers finally paying more attention on improving the interiors. [Link]

A few weeks ago as part of the Opera web browsers 10 year anniversary they had a special promotion where you could register the browser for free on that day. Seems like the promotion went better then they had expected because now they have gone ahead and made Opera free for good. Nokia users should be pleased. [Link]
