Dot HtAccesser is a web-based tool that generates .htaccess files for you via a simple form. Writing the right .htaccess file isn’t exactly rocket science, but we are fortunately spared reading up when in doubt, especially when the official Apache .htaccess tutorial is so sparse.

killMAIL and Mailinator are 2 of, I think, many free online services that give you an instant, disposable email address. Great for use on websites which want your email address for apparently no reason other than to send you product updates, offers and other emails that you never want. Or you may be worried they will sell your email addresses to spammers. Or maybe there’s that insurance agent who has been bugging you for your email address so that he can send you “more info”.
Whatever your purposes and needs, I’m sure you’ll find services like this useful from time to time.

A cool weapon from the Israelis - the Corner Shot:
Good for anti-terror and SWAT teams, but I dread the day it gets into the hands of an overzealous sniper (remember Maryland?).

MT-Blacklist Updater is back up and works, this time. I’m still in need of testers so do try it out and let me know of any bugs you may find. Thanks!
Comments, suggestions, bug reports are highly appreciated.
I used to use a very simple PHP script which simply grabs the latest master blacklist and overwrites the local copy on my server. I didn’t think too much of having any entries I’d made myself being overwritten then. Now I do, after I received quite some spam that wasn’t caught by MT-Blacklist, and decided to rewrite it so that it uses the blacklist changes RSS feed to update my local blacklist non-destructively.
The results of a few hours work (mostly spent writing documentation!): MT-Blacklist Updater.
Didn’t work! See this and this.
