My situation is quite a bit different since we last, ehhh, conversed. Most of my hacking has been biological - still at the helm of the Water and Wastewater department of the company I work for and everything there, although it gets challenging at times, is running well. Other than that, my personal life sideways'ed a bit - I am now divorced and working through the last few details and then will be able to move on. Looking forward to getting it through.
I have been enjoying playing guitar. Haven't made any more videos of late, but was in a band for awhile, and it was fun.
Glad to hear you are doing well, sir. Congrats to you, the Missus, and Fred.

I'm still here but hardly ever log on. Luckily I setup my Google Reader to check for new posts here a few years ago so I was able to see you post. I spend most of my time online on Google Plus. Lots of geekery there. Should be able to see me here www.digisal.com/+
I'm a big Android geek. Have lots of Android devices in the house and running Ubuntu Linux on several computers. I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi mini computer and was playing with that for awhile as a media player but it couldn't handle all I wanted it to do. I need to revisit that. So I went back to ps3mediaserver on an Ubuntu desktop to stream movies and TV to my ps3.
I am writing this from an Android Nexus 7 so Greetings from a Nexus 7!
I got married this past February 8 and we have a pet Barseet Hound named Fred.

I am fine, but am itching to get my geek on again. The biggest geeking I have done as of late is to use a cell booster and a usb cell modem and a cradlepoint routerand a bread tie to get iffy spotty slow internet throughout my living situation.
Hope you are all doing fine, weather you reply or not.

Good to see you still kicking, Sal. Hope you and yours are still doing awesome.
Haven't been doing much geeking lately - but strumming the guitar good and hard.

Site News / ReCaptcha to Thrwart the Spammers
« Last post by digiSal on September 18, 2010, 12:30:48 am »Every now and then I would get a bunch of new members and they would post porn all over the place, so i started make the registration process harder. When that didnt stop them I finally set it so i had to manually activate a member. So every now and then I would get emails from spammers wanting to join
Well it finally got real bad. My phone was about to bust with all the emails coming in!
Did a little searching in the SMF Forums and it turns out there is a ReCaptcha plugin available. The install had a little hitch. It wasnt pasting some code before the last ?> in the Modifications.english.php file so when i would go to turn on the feature the words were not there. Just blank boxes. Im using a custom theme so at first i went to make sure it worked in the default theme and then came back to the custom theme and modified its version of the modifications.english.php
All good now.
See if the spammers stop.
BTW
ReCaptcha is google owned now and they are doing cool things with it.The words you try to guess are actually words that it has scanned from Googles book scanning projects. So every time you enter a captcha you are helping google with its OCR.
nifty!
