Spamassassin 2010 bugfix

I came home to find out Spamassassin has dumped a lot of mail towards SPAM, because of the 2010 bug. This is a fine-grain fix to thwart mails coming from the future without loosing your mails from 2010. The solution extends to users of Unix systems (with and without root privileges), Directadmin and admispconfig. Enjoy your spam-free mail coming from the future!

ArtistPlug.NET social functions under development

WordPress 2.7.1 and BuddyPress RC2 is out; so; it’s patchday!
But, before panic, be warned the ArtistPlug.NET social features (ran under BuddyPress) are currently under development.

Virtual Domains, DiggBar, Wordpress and Rewrite Rules!

There have been some issues lately with the Wordpress MU Domain Mapping plugin; which has been playing with my brains for multiple weeks now. First of all the “add media” plug-in didn’t work as it used to be. When pressing the “add to post” button, nothing happened!

Wordpress SoundCloud & ArtistPlug.ME plugin!

After searching long on the net, I’ve not found any clue or hint to a Wordpress Soundcloud widget. So, I’ve been developing a widget myself, currently in use on some of the Wildchild pages, which will be able to load the Soundcloud applet without loops! After it’s development cycle, I’ll be releasing this plugin in the wild for all to use.

Yikes, two Leaseweb server crashes in a row!
