			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t been blogging much or following comments or anything for that matter. Lately I&#8217;ve been getting e-mail notifications of spam comments which go through. These spam comments were made by regular people in India and other places who were hired to comment on my blog.</p>
<p>Aksimet doesn&#8217;t detect them because they are normal people. They can bypass the captcha and every other spam blocking mechanism. Now, I&#8217;ve decided to block them completely before they even reach my blog, how? I&#8217;ll tell you.</p>
<p>I installed <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-ban/">WP-Ban</a> and added the following IPs:</p>
<p>122.163.161.*<br />
122.161.93.*<br />
121.246.81.*<br />
64.53.129.110</p>
<p>78.47.125.152 &#8211; 78.47.125.159</p>
<p>It is sad if a legitimate person in those segements was curious and decided to read and comment on my blog, but frankly spam comments are annoying. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you get a regular person to do the dirty work rather than a script, a spam comment is still a spam comment!</p>
<p>So there&#8230;</p>
<p>In another note, I&#8217;m more active on twitter than I am on my blog. 140 characters seem more than convenient for whatever I have to say. You can find me here;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.oneortheother.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/twitterlogo.png" border="0" alt="Twitter logo" width="188" height="68" /> I have installed <a href="http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/readme?project=twitter-tools">twitter tools by Alex King</a>. This will enable me to post more, when I post a tweet on twitter it will be posted here, and when I post an entry on my blog here, it will be linked on <a href="http://twitter.com/oneortheother">my twitter page</a>. And no this will not cause the world to end as Alex King&#8217;s FAQ says,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>What happens if I have both my tweets posting to my blog as posts and my posts sent to Twitter? Will it cause the world to end in a spinning fireball of death?</strong></p>
<p>Actually, Twitter Tools has taken this into account and you can safely enable both creating posts from your tweets and tweets from your posts without duplicating them in either place.</p></blockquote>
<p>Also, I apologize for the river of tweets recently in the feed. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Those have been taken care of.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> is a micro-blogging social network website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read quite a lot of blogs out there. A lot of them are interesting and a lot are funny. A lot of them are close, and my friends are among them. I removed the blogroll because it was getting way too big, especially for those that deserve exposure! I decided to create a new page, with <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/?page_id=213">all the blog links</a> that were here in my active blogroll.</p>
<p>Edit: If you&#8217;re not on the list, post a comment, and a reason why you should be, and I&#8217;ll take that into consideration :p lol J/k. Leave a comment anyway! I love reading new content and different ideas and opinions on things!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month I decided to <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/?p=86">share my current playlist with you</a>, and today you&#8217;re getting a new batch of this wonderful music I listen to. You can click on the links on the right side bar to listen as well. Keep an open mind, and here are the two albums I have in store for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.andreabocelli.com/">Andrea Bocelli</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sogno-Andrea-Bocelli/dp/B00000IGX2">Sogno</a><br />
&#8211; Bocelli, what more can I say? There are a few duets in this album, which give it a very unique taste. I hope you&#8217;ll like it.<br />
&#8211; <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/m/bocelli/Sogno/Sogno.m3u">Click to Listen</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.yngwie.org/">Yngwie Malmsteen</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Concerto-Suite-Electric-Guitar-Orchestra/dp/B000050I48">Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor Op. 1</a><br />
&#8211; A neoclassical album. A guitar genius plays along with an orchestra. You have to listen to this if you like classical music and/or electric guitars!<br />
&#8211; <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/m/malmsteen/Concerto/Concerto.m3u">Click to Listen</a></p>
<p>You can still access the link to the previous album I had up, <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/m/bocelli/Romanza/Romanza.m3u">Romanza</a> by Andrea Bocelli as well, but I&#8217;m removing the link from the side bar.</p>
<p>Enjoy!<br />
~N.</p>
