Parando spam en los comentarios.
[es] Code	akismet, meta, spam, apr 7, 2007

Después de mucho tiempo, he implementado finalmente un nuevo sistema anti spam de comentarios. Ese sistema utiliza Akismet para identificar comentarios como Spam.

Espero que esto frena en gran medida los abusos de Spam que hemos visto en protocultura.

Puede ser que marca un comentario legítimo como spam. En este caso, igual me llega un correo y lo puedo corregir fácilmente.

Protocultura.cl -- Ldap to Mailman
[en] Code	ldap, mailman, software, c1, apr 1, 2007

Ldap2Mailman is a little software I wrote to solve a particular problem. I was maintaining mailing lists for internal use. And all of the users where already defined in the company LDAP database. They even had the same groups definitions as we needed people in the mailing lists.

Strangely enough, mailman doesn't seem to be able to use LDAP as a base for the subscribers to it's lists. So i sat down and wrote a little script that does exactly that, it keeps the LDAP users in groups synchronized with lists of the same name.

Site updates (again)
[en] Code	feb 18, 2007

Updated the protocultura site again. First the blog comment system should now be fixed. The blog has multi-language support, so you can see only articles of one language. That's one of those things I could never find for nucleus. The Atom and RSS feeds infrastructure got expanded, apart from the main feed, there are feeds for languages and category types.

On the backend: Added (and later, fixed) a bookmarklet feature so that I'll probably publish more frequently now (in linkdump style). Also the textarea form fields are using a inline-editor provided by the openwysisyg proyect. Multi-tag for blog pages is now implemented at a database level, still have to implement the user visible pages.

Django cheat sheet (Mercurytide)
[es] Code	feb 13, 2007

Súper buen documento de resumen de templates y models de Django (la biblioteca tras de protocultura). Excelente trabajao de la gente de Mercurytide.

We all know time spent looking at documentation is time spent not solving the world's problems through code. And no good programmer wants that. So we've created a one-page Django cheat sheet.

Changes in the RSS and Atom Feed URLs
[en] Code	feb 7, 2007

HI people! Taking advantage of my little summer vacation (all 4 days of it!) i'm putting a bit more love into my blog's code. The first result being that the RSS and ATOM syndication feeds are now supported directly by django. Please update your RSS references accordingly. The easist way is to just use the feed autodiscovery of the main page again. The old URLs will die when i finally rip out the nucleus backend. You have been warned!.

The Humano2 project - A Post mortem
[en] Code	okt 8, 2006

I read a message today about google opening up a new service to search through all kinds of source-code available on the net.. mostly opensource projects that (obviously) have their code available online.

Anyway, i did some googling for "Humano2" to see what code was available. This made me think about things...

Ajax revisited - Do we have a winner?
[en] Code	sep 1, 2006

Okay, so working late (as always) I ended up talking with DCH about how to get some zazzle into the endless line of inhouse webapps that have been created over the years.

We've been looking at a number of options. I think that now we might have a winner in the forme of backbase a very nice abstraction layer.

Also looking around at how to get some XML stuff from our database backends i found that both PostgreSQL and SQLserver can just format their data output as XML. Simple really.

• Retrieving Data as XML from SQL Server [XML, XSLT & Web Services]
