New domain, the War on Blog Spam and site updates.
Blogged on 12th January 2007 at 17:51:18 in General
Aaaages ago, I bought 0wned.it and finally last night I got the motivation to put it to use. From now on I'll be using this domain. I also created a new PGP key because I'd stuffed the last one up.

Thanks to mod_rewrite for making the transition so much easier:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^david\.hexstream\.co\.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://0wned.it/$1 [R=permanent,L]


I've also had to add another check on to blog comments to cut down on spam. Not that I've ever had any comment spam because email verification is needed but I was getting several NDRs each day. Check it out by leaving a comment Smiley

I also made a few updates to the site. Everything now works in IE7, removed some crappy pages (music, webcam, gallery) and updated the About page so it's a lot more recent.

Still to do: Use AJAX because it's "cool and trendy", apparently. Use blog titles instead of IDs (i.e. /view/a_blog_entry) and probably lots of other things.
