Quiet

You guessed it!

Life is hard and then you die.

It should not be like it is said in the above quote. That’s what I’m working on at the moment. Making life fun and less stressful, because we know it is all about the money, honey! There are also a lot of things happening at the moment…have to be on top of it at the moment.
Stay tuned until I find the time and also the pleasure to blog again.

Nothing since

…I hooked up my blog with the ReCaptcha Anti-Comment-Spam tool provided as WordPress plugin. No single spam made it through into my moderation queue. Very nice. Less work, more blog fun. Happy Cola!

Now Working – ReCaptcha Against Comment Spam

Finally, I got the plugin WP-ReCaptcha working (there was a missing code line in my comments.php).
You can see the new tool when you’re commenting, underneath the comments field. Before your comment appears on my blog, you will need to type in two words as shown by the captcha.

I’m sorry for the little extra typing effort, but lately I got quite a few more spam comments than usual and it was getting on my nerves to always log into my blog to just deal with all these spams. The plugin shall now take care of (most of) it. I’ll see.
Also, this ReCaptcha sounds quite promising in fighting spam but also in doing something very helpful and clever: It helps digitising books and old newspapers. Read more about it.

Comment problem solved

Thanks Mau for telling me that it was not possible to comment on my blog for a few days. I installed a new Anti-Spam-Plugin (wp-recaptcha), but it didn’t work, meaning it didn’t show up underneath my comments field, but I forget to de-install it, therefore, even with the anti-spam method invisible, it didn’t allow any comments. Sorry for that!
Mau, it is the same anti-spam captcha that you use. Unfortunately it doesn’t work in my blog or I don’t know what went wrong. Too bad, because I get a lot of spam comments at the moment and was really looking forward to try out this promising help against the evil out there.

Eine neue Kopfspalte fuer Planet Cola

Oder wie sagt man, wenn man einen neuen header gebastelt hat?

Es war mal wieder an der Zeit, einen neuen header zu kreieren und wie man sieht, wird es etwas dunkler auf Cola’s Blogplaneten.
Mein Planet ist ein bisschen an-gepinkt-elt (wer war’s? ) und sieht ausserdem verzurrt und verpackt/umwickelt aus, was den ewig sich bewegenden Stein aka Planeten (…like a rolling stone) symbolisiert, der immer wieder eingepackt wird, um woanders ausgepackt zu werden, um die Welt da draussen Stueck fuer Stucke zu entdecken. Die momentane Location des Colaplaneten ist Australien, wie man an der eingepassten Karte sieht. Sobald sich der Ort, bzw. das Land aendert, aendert sich auch die Karte.

Ach ja, die nun verstaerkt hervorstechenden Anfangsbuchstaben P und C deuten nur ganz zufaellig darauf hin, dass ich ein PC user bin, obwohl ich den header auf nem MAC kreiert habe…ging ja leider nicht anders.

Update:
Doch noch mal rumgespielt und nun statt black-in-black etwas freundlicher. Nathan meinte, es haette was von einem War-Theme gehabt. Nee nee nee, also so ja nun nicht.
Den alten header verpasst? Macht nix, hier isser nochmal:
