These web sites should be put in the dog house or sent back to obedience school
Oh well, might as cancel the jubilation over Google’s “nofollow” announcement. Ben Hammersley spells out the sobering reality in “Let no fellow nofollow, lest we all lie fallow”: I’m deeply mystified by the hallelujahs bursting forth about Google’s rel=”nofollow” method of preventing comment spam. The idea being that comment spammers will leave your own site […]
I had planned this afternoon to be a good quiet time to do a clean install on our office’s in house server. I cannot complain about the sorts of problems Brian wrote about as mine seem a bit, well self inflicted. The server in question is a G4 OS X server that is mainly for […]
I got a cryptic e-mail message recently, that barely made a ripple among the daily spam flood: How come you pop up on my computre without invitation. Get lost you MF As you can see there is not much we need to do to educate written communications skills these days… So being curious about the […]
Readers of the CogDog may know we are not that gentle towards bad service from big corporate entities.

A frequent question we get from our Writing HTML tutorial is: “what code can I use to prevent people from viewing/stealing the source code of my web pages?” and the answer is very similar to what i say to people when they want to protect their images on web pages from being stolen- if you […]
Oi, have the spammers gone wacko. Bonkers. What are they smokin’? Got a notice yesterday one tried to insert a bunch of typical “win poker cialis v*iagra celebrity beastiality pix enlarge your _____ shrink your ______ bad credit erased” URLs into one of our sites that allows honest people to design a customized style sheet.

Well it has been 3 days since I yelled out “Hey Phentermine Pusher: You Left Your Roach Prints in Our Spam Honey Pot” seeking this person to reach out by email, say hello, and claim their prowess. I even offered 100 clams to them just for taking credit. No response. I would think someone capable […]
