Tonight, Shak removed Akismet’s WordPress sidebar widget that displayed a count how many spam comments it has automatically filtered from this website. Unfortunately, its output was not compliant with the loosest of XHTML standards, transitional.

Even on the WordPress.org Plugins/Plugin Compatibility/2.6 page, Akismet is listed as a “Working plugin, no issues”, but “with XHTML validation errors”. Shak will contact Akismet and see what they have to say…

WordPress is built on a fantastic programming language named PHP. It’s free, it works on virtually all computing platforms, and it’s definitely one of the reasons WordPress rules. A small token of our appreciation is now near the bottom right corner of every page – proud to be powered by PHP!

Would you spend about one month in jail for a million dollars? Well, a man named Joe Vos is doing so about thirty times over!

This news item is note-worthy for the Niagara Region, since we have a Microage office in St. Catharines that many Niagara businesses deal with. Check out a report of Joe Vos defrauding Microage [and others] on itbusiness.ca for more details. In case the original article becomes unavailable, we printed/cached this article for our own records…

Joe Vos’ incredulously lenient punishment is yet another example of why it is very important to deal with people and businesses of the highest integrity possible – despite the fact that many lives are affected by such a multi-million dollar white-collar crime, we feel that the Canadian government has treated it incredibly trivially.
