Im on pretty safe ground here I think.

I’m pretty sure I can call Paul Holmes a bag of lardy arsehatness with no
worries as according to the BSA, it’s okay to call people bags of lard. In
fact if you are Paul Holmes you can pretty much insult whoever you want with
no fear of censure, or repurcussion.
According the NZ Herald today (itself a bastion of arsehatness)
‘An MP may be called a “confused bag of lard”, but women who attend rugby
league parties should not be referred to as “moles”, the Broadcasting
Standards Authority (BSA) has ruled.’

I wonder if i’m allowed to call Paul Holmes a confused bag of mole lard. I
hope so, because I just did.

8 Koha hosting installs

And 2 on peoples pc’s so far. Koha is certainly stirring up some interest at
Lianza. Ive got it down to 8 minutes to install Koha on a linux box, Russ
can do it in 10 minutes on a windows machine. Not too shabby at all.

UPDATE 2004/09/07: 2 More

And ive just installed and configured 2 more Koha’s.

UPDATE 2004/09/08: 15 Installs

I think we are up to fifteen installs now. Probably a couple more today I’d
imagine.

Spammers Suck

One of the things ive noticed is that arsehats are filling my webserver access logs with
bogus referrers. That is seeding a whole lot of urls to sites by hittings
my website again and again with different referring urls. There are
obviously scripts out there to do this, and undoubtedly organisations that
sell you the service.
They arent that hard to spot yet, and even easier when they come from the
same ip, just punt that off to shorewall to blacklist. But its all a bit of
a PITA.

UPDATE 2004/09/05: Writing a script.

Ive decided to write a script that uses shorewall zones to blacklist these
spammers on the fly. Working on that now.
