Few days back, I’d mentioned about Defensio, a spam filter solution which was welcomed by Automattic and even though they are the competition. However, I’ll say that I’ve fallen for Defensio and the reason is simple, I get better result from Defensio.
Although, the details of the stopped spam is provided by Akismet but it’s not as detailed as Defensio, so I can’t say the difference between the two but certainly I’m getting less automated emails as far as undetected spam is concerned.
On this blog, I used to get 2-3 emails everyday, which wanted me to take some step against some comment and that was when I was using Akismet but when I used Defensio, I was fairly impressed as the number of email which I received got down to 1 in 2-3 days.
What I loved about Defensio is that it lets you sort the caught messages by Spaminess and thus it becomes pretty easy to find out a false positive!
Anyway, here is the current stats of the blog :
-
- Recent accuracy: 99.61%
- 5567 spam
- 25 legitimate comments
- 17 false negatives (undetected spam)
- 7 false positives (legitimate comments identified as spam)

Flickr has recently released the updated version of Uploadr and now this excellent utility stands at version 3 but still in beta. The first impression of Flickr Uploadr version 3 (beta) was Yahoo! Finally it makes sense as an uploader!.
Updated version allows you specify sets (as in the last versions), tags and lets you change the name of the images and add description to them. It makes more sense as an image uploader now and to be honest has made me one of the Flickr fan too!
The interface is quite sleek and clean. It lets you manage everything on the screen itself and doesn’t confuse you at all. If you are a Flickr user then it’s a must have for you!
Windows users : Download Flickr Uploadr 3 beta 2
Mac users : Download Flickr Uploadr 3 beta 2

I’m sure you must have seen all sorts of blog posts which say that Piracy isn’t good and that one should not indulge themselves into piracy at all. But I’ll say do it! It helps a lot of people! Look around and you’ll see that how piracy has helped many companies. Can’t think of any ? well, the answer is (most likely) the company behind your operating system, yes I.e. Microsoft! There are numerous examples : Adobe, Symantec etc.
Piracy has helped them become the no. 1 software company and the most used operating system ever built and who knows if this idea came from the redmond based company itself.
Well, another example was seen recently when Eric D. Wilkinson (producer of a small independent film called Jerome Bixby’s The Man From Earth) thanked one of the Piracy loving blog ReleaseLog, for posting the movies’ Torrent link!
So, don’t feel guilty of using that pirated software ! However, as a gentleman I’ll say don’t use it, at least pay for the software which gets you bread and butter as that software is the bread and butter of those people who made it!
