January 28, 2005Search Engines Against SpammersSome of the largest search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN Search) are getting together to combat spammers. The aim is to combat spammers who use forum and blog commenting features by allowing site owners to add “rel=”nofollow“” to your links. This additional HTML attribute will identify to the search engines not to follow the link hopefully meaning that the spammers can not automatically find site's comment forms via the search engine reducing the amount of spam. If you want to enable this on your own blog, forum or online form then just add “rel=”nofollow“” to your <a> tags. For example, change this:
<a href=“the link to comment page”>link text</a>
<a rel=“nofollow” href=“the link to comment page”>link text</a> As you can see it is very simple.

January 16, 2005iPod Mini Time Zone for Eastern Australian States
Long Version: I recently have acquired a new iPod Mini. I have already have an ageing iPod 1st generation and I have really noticed how apple have updated the software from the 1st generation to the current 4th generation. There are lots of little things that make the latest iPods really work, items like not having to reboot when disconnecting from the computer or even the ability to show the current time in the title area. It is these little upgrades that have really impressed me with the iPod Mini. The only thing that I do not like about the iPod Mini is its support for Time Zones. Apple has made the iPods contain time zone settings so that when calendar information is transferred to the iPod from iCal all the time zone information is understood and enforced. However, to set the Time Zone you need to know all the other cities in your time zone as it does not use the time difference from UTC but rather the name of cities in the time zone. This works well if you know all the cities but for me, who lives on the east coast of Australia (+10 UTC), none of the Australian cities are listed. After searching on the Internet I finally could confirm that the russian city Magadan has the same time zone as Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. So if you live in an eastern Australian City (except Brisbane that uses different time zone information and is contained in the iPod time zone list) use Magadan as your time zone.

January 11, 2005Stuffit Expander Takes a Long Time to StartI have noticed that over the last couple of days Stuffit Expander takes a VERY long time to start. After a bit of searching on the Internet I found this article on the MacFixIt site. The error occurs because the developer Aladdin has been taken over by Allume and the domain name of the servers has changed. On start up all their applications check for updates but timeout because of the server name change. To fix this you can run the following command from the Terminal application, which will stop version checking: defaults write com.stuffit.Expander allowVersionChecking -bool NO
