So, by now, I’m sure you are are familiar with the concepts of LOLCats (wiki, ICHC?, more, LJ Cat Macros).

Well, not all that long ago, a friend of mine put up a bunch of pictures of her new kittehs. With permission, I created a new lolcat, and submitted it to I Can Has Cheezburger?:

Kill da Wabbit

May 14, 2007

Tonight marked my first run (outside of last year’s Red Dress Run) with the NOLA chapter of the Hash House Harriers (a drinking club with a running problem). It was fun.

I went with Mikey (known as Tandy Ass™ in the hasher circles) in what was promising to be a very rainy run through City Park/Lakeview. While there was significant lightning and thunder, the only time I really felt any rain drops was as the end, while consuming some High Life. And even that bit of rain was sparse at best.

But hey, I got out and got some running in, had some cold beer, and had some fun. Not bad for a new regular Monday event.

Ok, so remember that Cached Spam Blocker I worked on a while ago? Well, I finally moved it away from hacking individual files and ported into a single-file, WordPress plugin.

I present unto you, MDFive Spam Blocker!:

<?php
/*

//edit the line below with your Secret Phrase
$extra = “Edit Secret Phrase here (keep existing double-quotes, and please don’t add more.)”;

// you shouldn’t edit anything below here.

function gen_MDFive() {
  global $extra;
  echo ‘<input type=”hidden” name=”cache” value=”‘.(md5(date(YmdH).$extra)).’” />’;
}

function check_MDFive($approved) {
  global $_POST;
  global $extra;
  if(
    $_POST['cache'] == md5(date(YmdH).$extra) ||
    $_POST['cache'] == md5(date(‘YmdH’,mktime(date(H)-1, 0, 0, date(m),date(d),date(Y))).$extra)
  ) {
    //good! within the cache window!
  } else {
    $badCount++;
  }
  if($badCount > 0) {
    die(“We don’t allow comment spam here.”);
    return false;
  } else {
    return $approved;
  }
}

add_action(‘comment_form’, ‘gen_MDFive’);
add_action(‘pre_comment_approved’, ‘check_MDFive’);
?>
