New FallenEarth Approaching

I've been working on a new design for FallenEarth for at least six months, off and on. Okay, mostly off. The old design was created when I was experimenting with CSS, and I figure I can do better now. After several false starts, I may have something I like.

Quotes

Many of you have no doubt noticed the random quote generator on the sidebar of Fallenearth. What you may not know is that I like receiving contributions. What are some of your favorite quotations? Heard anything particularly quotable from anyone you know? Have you said anything quotable? I'd like to hear.

Comment Spam

As many of you have noticed, FallenEarth has become popular enough now to receive comment spam. The purpose of comment spam is not really to entice any blog readers to view lolita porn or buy viagra—I hope none of you have from any link coming from FallenEarth, anyway. The idea behind comment spam is to take advantage of our Googlejuice. The way Google PageRank technology works, the higher the ranking of the site the link is from, the higher the benefit to the site being linked to. Blogs in general tend to receive pretty high ranks due to the extensive amount of links and fresh content. Thus, spammers are attacking the blogs.

DNS Problems

As many of you may have noticed, fallenearth.org fell. There were probably DNS(Domain Name Service) problems, since such alternate addresses as fallenearth.sytes.net worked.

Mythral Online

I finally bothered to figure out how to separate the computer's name from its FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name) on the Linux box. So now, FallenEarth is officially being run on mythral.

blo.gs

How many of you read blogs outside of FE(FallenEarth)? There are blogs all across the net, and I found myself wasting my time (and their bandwidth) checking them when they had no new updates. Then I found blo.gs.
