A blogging interlude
If you don’t have a Worpress blog, this post will be of no interest for you, other than the last part (where I post a spanking photo to make up for off-topic rambling. Scroll right down if that’s the case.)
If you are a blogger, you may have faced with so-called “RSS scraping”, which is when spammers steal the content from your blog and surround it with their own ads. This is aggravating for two reasons: firstly, the arseholes are making money from your hard work, and secondly, they create duplicate content, which compromises you in the eyes of Google. Not good all around.
The easiest way to deal with the problem is to publish a partial feed on your site, and plenty of big blogs do exactly that. I’ve always been reluctant to go down the partial-feed route, because as a blog reader I don’t like them. So I won’t do unto my readers what I don’t like done unto me.
Anyway, having caught another splogger this evening, I went digging for a solution, and found a nifty Wordpress plugin that will poison the well for any future plagiarists. AntiLeech is supposed to send scrambled content to spammers after they’re identified - so I can still publish my full feed, but if it’s scraped, it becomes illegible. Cool, huh?
I haven’t tested it yet, but it looks pretty sweet. I thought you other WordPress users might want to know about it as well.
And now, a spanking picture to make up for all that geek talk.
Actually, I’m feeling generous; have two:
Oh, what the hell, have three.
(They come from this free spanking gallery.)
Charming, my arse
This lovely comment has landed in the moderation queue in relation to a post about what school knickers I wanted.
White cotton ones r the best! And u have a marvalous arse! Id luv 2fuck it after iv given u a gud hand spanking! Do u take it up the arse babe???
Wow, what girl can resist such charm and fluency in txtspeak! Ladies, form an orderly queue.
Oh, by the way, the bottom on the pictures in that post? Not mine.
No, I don’t know whether she enjoys anal sex, either.
Office of Government Wanking
I was going to post a hot spanking picture for you tonight, munchkins, but before going online I was watching the satirical news show “Have I Got News For You”, and they told a hilarious story that I felt the need to convey immediately.
Apparently, there’s a governmental department here in the UK called “Office of Government Commerce”, OGC in short. They have recently commissioned a new logo, which looks like this:
After the new design was rolled out, somebody noticed that you could turn it upside down for a piece of social commentary on the state of governmental offices:
Civil servants are such dirty buggers, all of them.
Boobs? Open Source?
Sometimes news and gossip relating to human sexuality completely stumps me with its sheer whackiness.
John Scalzi writes:
The gist of [Open Source Boobs Project] is that at Penguicon women who were wearing buttons that said “Yes You May” were allowing folks of both sexes to touch their breasts (edit: the button apparently meant you could ask to touch, to which the answer could be “yes, you may” or not). The idea there, as I understand it, was to reinforce the idea that breasts were not these sacred and yet bizarre objects designed to attract attention to themselves and away from the person they are part of.
And handing out free gropes reinforces this idea… how exactly? When you are feeling up breasts, you’re feeling up breasts. I doubt that your perception of this pleasant activity is going to change much whether you have the boobs on tap, or have to struggle for each handful.
I’m all for this idea, though. I would love to be ordered to wear the button, and to be told that I may say no only to three people over the course of the weekend, and so to choose my rejections wisely.
The next logical step would be the “Open Source Bum Project”, intended to show that bottoms were made for smacking, and are wasted when not thus used. The button worn by participants is to say “You wouldn’t dare!” The code question would in turn be “Do you want to try me?”
Voyeur Central
Is it wrong of me to enjoy looking at the neighbour opposite as he walks around with no shirt on?
Is it wrong to hope that he’s also barefoot, wearing nothing but his tight blue jeans?
Is it wrong to want to hurt him - though in a way he would enjoy… afterwards?
Reducing a man to a sex object seems wrong. It feels lovely, though.
For your spanking, queue here
This is an old video, and it made a great splash in the spankdom when it first came out. However, I’ve never actually posted it, and it’s well worth preserving on the blog. Just in case you missed it, here’s “Hear My Name” by Armand Van Helden:
(Thanks, Redhead, for reminding me of its existence.)
Spanking Geeks
The guys who filmed this spoof advert think they’re joking, but they’ve struck a chord with me.
But let me tell you, it’s not easy to be a kinky geek. I’m not even a guy, which makes things marginally easier when you’re looking for fantasy-fulfilling action, but I just don’t get my geeky needs met in the spanking world.
Who will play the master magician to my apprentice? Who will dress as Mal Reynolds for me? Who is capable of discussing the spanking potential in the existing four volumes of “The Song of Ice and Fire” saga while making educated predictions for the rest?
If there was a Nerd Girl phone sex line, I’d probably be working on it just to get my own needs met.
International Blogger Appreciation Day
Although I’m loathe to participate in flash-mob events, I got inspired this morning by a post on Darren Rowse’s Problogger.
The idea is simple: if you enjoy reading a blog, write to its author and tell her so. It’s a good thing to do on any day, because positive feedback makes the blogging worthwhile, but it can’t hurt to have an extra push.
I’m not soliciting correspondence here, by the way. On the contrary: I encourage you to say something nice to a blogger who is not me. Go on, it’ll make you feel good.
If you’re a blogger yourself, you may even do it in a post.
On my part, I’d like to give a shout-out to Lina of Uncool, who has started the ball rolling on the Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy, and therefore rocks.
Amelia-Jane Rutherford’s Blog is Live
Amelia-Jane Rutherford, international woman of mystery, has finally heard the voice of reason and started a blog. (Co-written with her alter-ego, Ariel Anderssen, because having several names is a kink in its own right.)
Her modelling experience is vast, and she’s one of the most articulate women I know, so I’m sure she’ll have interesting stories to tell.
“How many times have I told you to start a blog, young lady?”
Holding on to the girlfriend
This video, “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend” by Black Kids, doesn’t have a lot of sexy/fetishy things concentrating in it, but I thought it had enough there that it belonged on the blog.
For one thing, even though it’s sung by a guy, and the relationships in the video itself are M/F, it’s an unashamedly queer, F/F song. I like that. There aren’t that many songs in the charts that speak to me like that.
And for another thing… hello, cheerleaders! Cheerleaders in a video are always a good thing.
