Will you say the book you wrote is stupid? Well, this site does. This website shows you all the stupid htaccess tricks. In case you don’t know, .htaccess is a file which control the website’s Apache’s universal system-configuration directives. It can help to set secure permission to the Apache server.
Some of the tricks are really stupid, while some do useful. For example, the section “limit access to LAN” is actually a good configuration setting for servers to block unauthorized access.

Someone just “tweet” too much. I mean your twitter account may be followed by spammers. Twitter Twerp Scan will scan your account completely to see whether the followers are spammers or not. They will use their algorithm to see whether the twitter account is only for public relation purpose. They will ask the Twitter account login name and password, but it will not be stored in Twitter Twerp Scan.
Since Twitter is so useful, you would not want someone spam it, right?

WordPress has updated to 2.5.1. I found that the old bug for uploading files is now fixed. (After uploaded the file, you cannot insert the picture to the post directly. You needed to click gallery, and then chose the file in the past. That is “Media Uploader Error”, according to the team said.). According to the official blog, this update have important security fix. This fix can prevent vulnerability possible for hacking. The overall performance is slighty performance during my test of this update.
As always, update is simple. Download the pack and replace the existing files. Run “wp-admin/update.php” and follow the instruction. To play safe, backup before you do. Fresh installation is also simple and needs only few steps.
