07.19.07Installing reCAPTCHA on eirikso.comEveryone running a fairly popular blog knows about the problem with comment spam. To put it short, bad people polute the comment forms on blogs to spread links and commercial info about their products or web sites. I have been using several plugins to fight the spam, but lately the preassure from the "spam bots" have increased to a level where it puts preassure on the server I am running. I don't like to let my readers down by making it difficult to comment, but I am now forced to install a small trick to verify that it is real people ...

07.13.07Up and running!It seems like the name servers around the net have updated and that most of you now can view my new and refreshed eirikso.com The design is based on Recycled Canvas, but heavily modified by the utterly talented Henrik Lied. Credit also goes to the always helpful Kim Erlandsen and Mr. problem fixer Trond Isaksen. I am still running this site on WordPress. Using Flickr to publish images and Revver to publish videos. I have also changed hosting company. I wasn't completely satisfied with the speed and stability from Dreamhost. So I am trying out A2 Hosting. So far they seem faster and ...

07.11.07Moving eirikso.com to a new hostI am currently working on my change of host for eirikso.com Most likely I will change the host this evening, so expect 24 hours of potential unstability. And please don't post any comments before you see a new layout and a post stating that the move has finished. Any comments posted during the transition might be lost. I am sorry for any inconvenience, but as soon as I am up and running on my new host this site should be faster and more stable than ever.

06.04.07Redesign and new hostAs far as I remember I have been talking about this in some articles and comments here on Eirikso.com for a long time. I have been running my blog since 2003. The oldest post in this one is from february 2004, but that's because of a change from Blogger.com to Movabletype back then. For the last couple of years I have been running Wordpress on Dreamhost. I am very happy with Wordpress but not completely happy with Dreamhost. They're quite slow and the uptime is simply not good enough. And, the last time I was on the front page of ...

04.25.07Hooooooraaaaayyyyyy!It's my birthday. And this is the year of virtual congratulations. SMS and MMS to my mobile are ticking in. My Facebook profile gets messages and gifts (eh.. at least one gift so far...). And, now my dear readers know it's my birthday as well. The gift to eirikso from eirikso this year was an Elgato EyeTV 610 DVB-C digital tuner. So far it looks promising. DTV right into my iMac. Flawless syncing to my AppleTV etc. More on that later. Have a nice day!
