Every day, I get an email containing something like this:

There have been 11 comment spams caught since the last digest report 1 day ago.

I can’t even remember the last time I had a spam comment get into moderation, let alone get through to my blog. Thank you, SpamKarma. You rock.

Evolution bogofilter plugin

Well, I’ve finally upgraded to evolution 2.3.x, and this necessitates a change in my bogofilter spam filter. In evo 2.2, the spam assassin filter was built in, and so needed to be patched out. In 2.3, it’s a full-blown plugin, so all I need to do is add my own bogofilter plugin, which I’ve done. Here it is.

Unfortunatlely, only one junk filter plugin can be loaded at a time, and merely unchecking the spam assassin one in evo isn’t enough, so evo has to be built without the sa-junk-plugin, but with the bf-junk-plugin. With this done, it all works fine, and I’m back to my bogofilter goodness. Hopefully, I’ll eventually figure out how to get it all to work without patching/modifying the evo install, and then I can just package up the plugin alone.

That would imply that I, for some strange reason, wanted to use or advocate the use of a browser other than Firefox. So far, that’s not the case, so ad-block is enough for me.

static forwards

I just spent about 45 minutes trying to figure out why my program wouldn’t link. I was calling one function from another file, a not-uncommon occurrence. This fuction had previously been static, and I had removed the static from the definition, and added a forward to the header file. However, I was getting “undefined reference” errors when building. I banged my head on it over and over, even rebuilding the whole project, and still “undefined reference”. I finally discovered that there was a static forward for the function at the top of the file, and this was making the function static. No warning about redefinition, just failure to link. Let this be a lesson to you: alway search a file for forwards when changing the statichood of a function.
