Food Porn

Posted in Food, Photography by Will on October 16, 2006.

I don’t know if I’ve posted this before… but Slashfood is a great site.

The whole Food Porn category has me (and some relatives) drooling quite regularly. Both from the great sounding/looking recipes, to the amazing photography.

For instance - this Kiwi, Mango, and Pineapple Coconut Cake looks great.
Then there’s these Chocolate Chip blondies (modified brownies). They’re vegan too - how they got vegan chocolate chips I don’t know, maybe they’re carob.
An an interesting looking Seeded Orange Soda Bread caught my eye too.
For a simple, but still great photo - check out these Chocolate-Covered Marshmallows.
There’s also Kylie Lambert in Sydney making amazing looking cakes/cupcakes for Le Cupcake - and posting the pictures on flickr. (The phone number of the bakery is in this photo, if you were interested)

But it’s not all about deserts, there’s an interesting looking Rockin’ Guacamole and a Pesto, Artichoke, Prosciutto and Asiago Panini too.
There’s also a whole series of sandwiches from their Sandwich Day last month.

Mmm…

Automaticly Disable Wordpress Comments

Posted in IT, On the Intertron by Will on October 16, 2006.

I’m not sure about you, but I get a fair amount of Comment spam.
None of it makes it to being posted, since I have to approve every comment - but it’s still darn annoying getting a bunch of emails that I have to log in and mark them as spam.

I found this nice little Wordpress plugin: Timed disabling of wordpress comments, which should help with that - atleast, for older posts anyway.

Anything >= 14 days old should have comments disabled automagicly.
Yay.

Edit: Works too, yay!
Edit 2: I’d thank the fellow who wrote it… but err… comments are disabled on that blog post (funny that), and I couldn’t find an email address. Putting random off-topic comments on his posts about him buying/selling a house, or about his children is… well off-topic and near-spammish.
Hopefully he’ll find this post in his referrals and see these words some time.
