Decided to visit the Arch Linux website forum and I get a message in Firefox saying it's Untrusted.

Arch Linux, not trusted? It never cheated on me, or stole money from me, or drank all my beer. And sure, it's a pain in the ass to get to know. But not trustworthy? Never! (Sure, it's cousin Chakra Linux has been sleeping around, but that's another story.)

So do I click "I Understand the Risks" or not?

The Comment Bitch Queen Bitch is ashamed of what she does! The Comment Queen being a woman who posts sites that people pay money to her for so they can comment spam.

Before today, she had her list of sites to spam available here on website. Now it's gone.

She is lower than a used car salesman. Hell, she's lower than a lawyer and politicians. And so are the people who pay her money. Can you believe those idiots?

Did a little research on the Comment Queen and found that her site is hosted at HostMonster. Is that a good enough reason not to recommend them?

Apparently my site is among the target for spammers. There's a site called CommentQueen that lists sites that do-follow on comments. (I'm working on changing that but it's a bit more difficult in Drupal.)

I think I'm there due to my few months off - you're gone and those stupid fucked in the head spammers who are the scum of the earth and don't deserve to breathe the same air that respectable people do think they can rule over your site.

Not only does Twitter seem to be down, it seems that Twitter may have been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army.

Why would a company that has "automotive" in their name have an online CSS compressor/decompressor tool?

It worked well, but I skipped over it a couple of times because of the automotive part of the name.

Just read on the drupal.org message board a post that pretty much shows how godaddy hosting only cares about one thing: money.

They're willing to help fix a problem one of their users is having, but for $150.00.

I use godaddy.com for my domain names, but I would never host with them. (They really are the K-Mart of hosting. Or worse.) Now I know never to use them to host any website.

Unfortunately, because you are using a 3rd party application, we are not able to further review this issue, as we do not troubleshoot 3rd party applications. If you would like for us to restore your hosting account and databases to see if this resolves this issue, we can. A hosting restore will cost $150 to complete.

Today Packtpub announced the winners of the Most Promising Open Source CMS for 2008. First place went to Silverstripe, second was CMSMadeSimple, and a tie for third went to MiaCMS and ImpressCMS.

What intrigues me about this is that both MiaCMS and ImpressCMS are forks of existing systems.

UPDATE: Formatting was really, really screwed up. (I did enter the urls by hand, so that might be a problem. But so are the lack of paragraph breaks scribefire outputted - it put br/ in there, but Drupal didn't do anything with it.

And no tags, which is a deal-breaker.
/UPDATE

Just a test to see if scribefire works for my Drupal site. (It should.)

I will admit it took me a while to figure things out My biggest hurdle was the BlogAPI module that I had to enable. Well, not just enable, but configure. (Drupal likes its settings! Thanks to the Bulahema site for the settings page tip.

PacktPublishing recently announced the finalists for the 2008 Open Source CMS Award and much to my surprise WordPress wasn't among them! (Click here for the nomination page.)

Drupal and Joomla! are there, and it might be a fight for the Best Overall and Best PHP between the two of them. (My votes went to Drupal, of course!)
