I am not sure if this is the best possible solution, but since it is simple and elegant I am inclined to think it is.

But while I was enjoying a presentation on Identi.ca at FOSDEM I all of a sudden had the idea that now would be a good time to start again. So I joined Identi.ca and added this entry to this site. Expect more in the very near future. Being on-line feels like fun again.

Should I be proud or crawl back in the basement?

Let’s see with the second test offered at that site:

Ok, back into the basement, I have to dust of some comic books…

Fortunately someone wrote a page where, as far as I know, all color schemes are shown and downloadable. Even my two favorite ones: here and here. The only minor annoyance is the fact that the color schemes are not all alphabetically ordered.

I know, I know, old news, but I still like to use this web site as my own long term memory…

If you really like them as I do, just contact my lovely wife.

Since I am a cheapskate (read: I don not want to pay for more storage than necessary). I was wondering how to reduce the number of comment spams that Akismet had to catch. So I installed a CAPTCHA plugin called reCAPTCHA. It has the nice side effect that it not only generates good captchas remotely and with disabled (i.e. blind) people in mind, it also is used to help in digitizing old books. The words that you type in are scrambled images from a book that needs to be digitized. What a wonderful project!

Lets see if this keeps down the amount of comment spam. And if you are wondering what the ‘132′ means in the title: just show this number in binary using your fingers :).

Update 11:36:

First it seemed that the CAPTCHA plugin did not prevent comments from being processed by Akismet. After some Googling I found that the Akismet plugin had to be switched off. But reCAPTCHA is seems to be easily defeated as I already have 6 comments waiting to be moderated. So for now I will switch Akismet on again, saving me some time moderating.

The exam itself went really well. I wasn’t nervous at all and completely focused and relaxed. Although you wouldn’t think so if you looked at my face on the image below. Perhaps that is way people have the perception that I am more of a jiu-jitsu guy.

As far as I know I only made two mistakes: moving a bit too fast on kote-gaeshi and mixing up kata-otoshi and kata-ha-otoshi when asked to perform kata-otoshi.

Next time I hope to take part as Rick’s uke. He unfortunately did not pass his nidan test. But knowing his dedication I am sure that he will put on a great show in March.

A big THANKS! for Willem and Raymond for helping me pass this test and for Rick for still allowing to have a party at his house.

This is just a message to let you know that the internal links should now all point to the correct places within this web site and that this website is now fully functional.

DEFAULT!

So I went searching on the web for nice themes and this was the one I really liked. Only a few minor tweaks were necessary thus far.

Check out the creator’s site, he has lots more where this came from. Thanks!
