Armalyte

Just found this page while searching for “The Great Giana Sisters”. It brought me back several years! Armalyte was an amazing game, but it wasn’t the only game by Cyberdyne Systems on the C64 AFAIR. I could almost swear I played a platformer that was released on a Zzap64! cover, did they?
Woo! Pics, demo downloads and information about Armalyte 2 and a link to download a “competition” version with built in trainer.. I would have loved to have seen this 10 years ago..

New SpamAssassin Out!

Version 2.55 of SA is out. The release notes are a bit terse, but the notes for 2.54 indicate this is a release worth installing. It adjusts some spam rules spammers were using to get past SA!

spammers have been targeting our nice rules to get themselves negative overall scores, so those rules are now much less strongly-scored. also added a “TOO_MANY_MUA” rule that will catch multiple user agent headers.

Go download it now!

b2++ – page freshness, last month? referers

Minor updates:

  1. Add the following code to index.tpl to list your weblog entries from a month ago.

    {todayayearago when='month' heading='<h1>A Month Ago</h1>'}

  2. I added headers to the site to make pages stale. Mail me if you notice a difference.
  3. Referer format has changed slightly. It requires a db update, so the next release will require upgrading users run upgrade.php
  4. Search pages are generated with a different Smarty key. This should remove any highlighting for users who come directly to this site.
  5. I fixed a small html bug in the lastupdated.php script. If URLs aren’t printed properly on the “Last updated” list, then change line 33 so it reads:

    $smarty->assign( "site", "http://" . $basesite );

  6. Added a list of clickable smilies to b2edit. Click to add them to your blog post! 8)
