It must just be some fun that the developers were having, or a silly comment which they forgot to remove. Anyway, this is what it was: Now since it's been fixed: Nothing more to ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=48 Spam sucks! The spam problem on this blog is a never ending cycle. It just comes and comes with no breaks! Since I added the marvelous Akismet plugin  more than a year ago it has blocked 13,000+ comments. It with that, it's hard to tell if there was any legitimate comments in ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=46 On one of my random encounters on social networking site Bebo I noticed that not only my profile page, but also the homepage had changed slightly. There isn't really much to write on this change as I don't really follow Bebo, so instead i've enclosed some screenshots. The actual changes ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=43 For the past few days i've joined the unfortunate group who have to now instead use the new Facebook.

The planning is still ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=40 This is just a quick post related to the previous entry I had on the Top Friends application being displayed. The Top Friends application has now been enabled and the privacy changes have been implemented. Basically now it seems that you can only view a persons Top Friends profile if you ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=39 Although this may come as old news to some people, others may not have even yet noticed it. On the 26th of June the Top Friends application was suspended due to a security and privacy breach. A week prior to it's suspension I actually took some time to look into it ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=38 After encountering a problem with creating a Wall-2-Wall function just like Facebook allows I encountered problems with quering the comments from the database because of how I separated the tables of comments. To solve this I have just regrouped all the comment tables into one larger table. With this change ... http://blog.chopstickles.com/?p=37 After just randomly checking through Facebook it has come to my attention that they are going to discontinue networks.
