New Job, First Apartment; Finally Moving On! August 15
So as the title of this post states, I have a new job which is exactly what I have been looking for about two+ years now! It’s a full time salary job with benefits with no end in sight. I’ll be working for a company called Evolution in Columbia, MD and Annapolis, MD. I will be getting my first apartment also and along with that the joy of HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS! I start Monday the 21st which is not that far away and I’m working on moving into the apartment Friday the 18th. I just heard back today from the apartment guy today letting me know that my application was declined because I didn’t have 3 or more years of credit. Well duh, I’m 20 years old (birth day in March) so I only have 2 and a half years credit right now. So I’ve had to get a co-signer to fill out an application to see if that will work, I’ll find out by noon tomorrow.
On another note, because of the new job and the move I won’t really be able to put alot of time into anything code or website related. Hopefully after everything settles down and I get into the hang of things, I’ll be able to finish what I started!
that got through Bad Behavior 2.0.2, I decided to get my API Key for Akismet and activate the plugin. I created a WordPress.com account and blog a long time ago, but never used it. So I’ve just deleted my blog there but my account still remains with my API Key! The first thing Akismet did (well not the first thing) was to show me on my Manage page that I had 2300+ comments MARKED as spam. 
WHAT!? I thought I had deleted all the spam comment! I guess not, marking a comment as spam saves the comment in the database but just marks it as spam and doesn’t display it. So Akismet showed me all of them and offered to delete them for me. Why should I argue with that 
, Delete All please 
… click … all gone, YAY! 
Do you want to know what that did for my database? Sure you do … my wp_comments table was at ~4.2MB 
BEFORE I deleted all the comments marked as spam … now it’s at a nice 255.2KB! 
HOLY SH*T, talk about taking out the trash! That alone makes me happy that I finally did activate Akismet!
