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!
Minor updates:

Owen works on Pope’s Quay, an old part of Cork City. A construction crew found live grenades dating from the 20’s and the Army are about. Lucky there’s a bomb squad stationed in Collin’s Barracks!
Good story Mark! hehe
So in his stage managed moment of triumph, the idiot still couldn’t get it right and according to the link above, the same goes for what has become a lawless post-war Iraq, which is quickly descending into anarchy.
This is a sample chapter from the new web design book “Don’t Make Me Think”. – “How we really use the Web”.
People scan pages, not read.. good reading.
These forums are full of useful information about Mozilla Firebird. Here’s info about a tab extension. I don’t think it lets you move the location of tabs around, sorry Tim!
Here’s my pet peevs about Moz Firebird:
Still, I think it’ll replace Galeon as my primary browser now that I have nice fonts again 🙂
The original b2 had a few bugs with regards to setting cookies – it would set cookies for authentication and comment author information, but without setting a url. This caused problems for Safari users who couldn’t login to their blogs!
I’ve modified the setcookies commands so that:
That’s the idea anyway. Leave a comment here if you discover any bugs with that.
This is a good introduction which assumes you haven’t a notion what design patterns are. It also helpfully states,
… like everything else we use in software development / engineering. OO and Design Patterns have its place… [They’re] Not the Only Tool..

John conducted benchmarks the other day and found that IIS/WinXP can be faster than Apache /Linux. His initial results show a huge difference, but later he found the difference was only 10%.
What difference would running a PHP accelerator make to the test? That may very well swing the results back in favour. In my own tests, adding a PHP accelerator makes an undeniable difference in speed tests. The acccelerator makers would have you believe the speed up is 10 times, but it’s at least 5-6 times.
How stable is IIS these days? I’ve heard it’s much better than it was, but is it more stable than Apache (1.3 or 2?) on Windows?
Maybe we’re missing an important point here though. Many managers want to use Microsoft in their shops. If they have IIS, this is one very good way of running PHP in that environment without being penalised by cgi performance. Bravo John for doing the tests, I’m certain your site will popup in a Google search when some MSCE is desperately trying to figure out what technology to use! We’re get them to use PHP first, and then when they’re comfortable with this open source lark, move their Win32 servers to Linux or some other Free Unix! *grin*
