I have been having a problem with trackback spam of late. The spam is the normal buy some viagra and casinos and some other odd stuff which only seems to happen on one particular post. I have installed a plugin to remedy the problem which my cause some problems not sure yet, so if you find a page won’t open or you get some sort of error please let me know a.s.a.p.If anyone one else is using WordPress and having problems with Trackback spam you can get the plugin here. The pluging performs some changes to the mod_rewrite rules to stop the spammers and from lots of reports works very well.UpdateWell that plugin didn’t seem to work very well. I still have the plugin enabled to see if it will help. The only way that seems to have worked was by turning off the ping options.

Well the Google Earth beta is out for Mac OS X and it is great!. The application is still in beta but it seems to be very stable (no crashed yet) and very fast and responsive. Like most things depends on your internet connection speed to get the high res pics from their servers. I warn you before downloading that it is very addictive I have spent about 4 hours playing with it so far, finding all those cool places I have been, all those cool places I wouldn’t mind seeing etc… Google Earth only works on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) so tough luck for those yet to upgrade. It’s pretty nice to see all the place I have been and all the places I would like to see etc.. One of my favorites is the various Titanic bits here and there like the construction slipways. Some cool stuff go check it out. You can also get it on Windows so have a look and tell me some more cool places to look at.

Hope you all have a good 2006
