Finally, I had my blog moved to the new hosting. Besides that I gave the new name to my blog. It’s “Tien’s Blog” instead of “Platformular’s blog” which “Platformular “was the name of my Dev house.
There are a few projects I am working on right now as well as blog articles. Hopfully they will be published soon.
It is troublesome when you start fighting spam for website, application or even this Blog!
There were a couple hundreds of thousands spam comments I deleted last week. Originally I was going to filter every comment and make sure that the useful comments can be posted. However, there were just too many spam comments to read through so I have to manually write a “delete *” sql commend against the MySQL.. (free up more than 4GB in disk space..LOL)
I am thinking to move my blog to wordpress.com where I can just concentrate more on writing instead of maintaining. If you have any ideas/suggestion about good blog host. email me at tien@platformular.com. I am looking to migrate my blog in 2 weeks
As the same time, I have a number of request about my blog articles and hopefully they are coming out at the same time when my new blog’s ready 🙂
