Comments Off on MySQL 5.0 
Well MySQl is now beginning to step up and move into the entreprise world. Everyone has been blogging about it for a while right now. I would recommend that those of you not familar with the upcoming changes in MySQL go ahead and download the white paper on the changes in 5.0. This is a production release so read up and begin testing. I think you will probably like the upgrade.

Comments Off on Spam Blog
A lot has been written about the sudden torrent of spam blogs (splogs), I think the problem is not nearly so bad as some people make it out to be. First off any free hosting service is going to serve as a vector for this sort of content. Everyone seems to blame Google and Blogspot which hardly seems appropriate. Everyone also apparently has a very short memory. This is has been a problem before and was solved before.

Comments Off on Syndic8.com Approval Services
I am pretty actively involved in Jeff Barr’s project Syndic8.com which is a blog directory of some note. I am largely involved in approving and tagging feeds right now. I have a ton of roles there but it seems like the blog spam is never ending.
