Ways to stop spam with Wordpress

I’ll be looking for ways to stop the spam on my site once and for all. Its getting insane. Especially “trackbacks.” This blog is run on Wordpress 2.0ish so i need to find some plugins. I do have kismet installed, but its just not good enough. If anyone has any suggestions I would listen!!

Thanks, and sorry for all the spam thats been in my comments. I don’t know how to stop it or have the time to delete it.

Hopefully I can find something.

Adobe Soundbooth CS4 Beta

Beta! You must have a CS3 serial number to use it longer than two days.

Using a speech-to-text engine that Adobe declined to name, Soundbooth attempts to turn spoken words into text.

As with the original Soundbooth, the Soundbooth CS4 beta lets you add AutoCompose scores.

Looks like it has some cool new features. I wasnt quite impressed with soundbooth when I first started using it. It was buggy as hell. It seemed to do a little too little and the interface wasn’t my favourite for doing simple edits. BUT we will see how this one goes, I am sure its much better.

Integrated Wireless Midi/Audio Standard to be the future?

Yes of course. But the question is…Why don’t we have this yet?

Imagine being able to select and and play an external keyboard that has only just been switched on from another. This would be a new integration standard that uses downloadable voice banks lists, sort of like a playlist accessible from other instruments. No more flipping endlessly through voice banks and trying to guess what midi parameter (program change) they are.

The technology is readily and cheaply avaiable. Just look at the gaming industry. Please make this.

Also Updated today: PlayLive!

Playlive is a wireless midi controller for Ableton Live that runs on the Sony PSP.

Crack iTunes Protected Music

This instructable will show you how to remove the DRM from music bought from iTunes store.

Music was a huge part of society in the past, but with technology it is bigger than ever! The fastest, and easiest way to get music these days is via the Internet

Apple should not be selling copy-protected music or movies anymore. Leaving them in the dust is Amazon. The best thing you can do is boycott DRM technologies. They are pointless, obtrusive, and crazy in the computer world. Companies need to embrace the fact that the user has all the power over their content.
