The TumbLucas

…but without spam, life would be very boring - wouldn’t it?

Anyway, half an hour ago I decided to import my Tumblr blog into my WordPress blog. This would help with my plans to alternate between Tumblr and my WordPress blog for posts and stuff, but something went horribly wrong.

Turns out, I had completely forgotten about my dlvr.it setup which took the RSS feed of my WordPress blog and published the new items to Tumblr. And being a machine, and a web machine at that, it wasn’t smart enough to realize what it was posting was already on the Tumblr blog.

Not only that, but each new post to the Tumblr blog got sent to Twitter and Facebook, causing mayhem and chaos and mad chainsaw-wielding chipmunks to wage war against my awesomeness.

It was a bloody war, but it’s over now, and I’d like to apologize for the little spam epidemic that went on ;) 

Here’s a little diagram: Import to LucasBlog > New content on LucasBlog is published on TumbLucas > New content on TumbLucas is published to Twitter and Facebook.

Anyway, it’s all cleaned up.

Been a while since I last posted. Time to dish out some updates!

First, EC’s activity is really low. No, actually, it’s dead. This is really saddening. Going to have to work on getting some Postloop points up and fake some activity I guess. Sigh.
Oh, and we had a rise in spammers. My IPB license expired recently and so the spam service is off. Won’t be renewing my license until the next update so I found a hook that uses SFS’s database to block spammers from registering. So far, it’s blocked a hundred or more.

MineBoard is also dead. No one posts much there either. Need to find something to resurrect it with I guess. Not sure what though.

Firmware Repo has been having some decent traffic lately for something recently started. Added LinkBucks to the links so that should help. Should add more firmware links soon.

Uber Troll needs more content, but it’s collected almost 60 followers on Tumblr, which is a lot considering how recently I made it. Just need those meme sites to work right ;)

And I’ve started a new project with a friend. It’s a rant forum, running Vanilla, and I think it’s going to be great. I can certainly find a lot to rant about. And with Vanilla, I don’t have to worry so much about forums and crap so it’s perfect. May have to make another theme for it though, currently using EnigmaRed and somebody doesn’t like it.

Other things I’ve been doing include testing more Twitter clients, going crazy with Cydia tweaks on my iPod (and watching it get slower and slower) and Skype calls.
