disabled QoS

Paul Westbrook | 28 August, 2006 02:37

I had been noticing we haven't been getting as much bandwidth, as I was expecting from our Cable Modem connection.  Out of curiosity, I turned off the QoS setting that I talked about before, and our download speed went from 3000kbs to 6500kbs.

I tried adjusting the settings, but I wasn't able to get it working well.  I don't really want to spend the time now to upgrade to a later version of the sveasoft software or try OpenWRT, so I am just going to leave QoS turned off.  This isn't a big deal, since we don't run a server at home or use VoIP any more.

Akismet for LifeType

Paul Westbrook | 28 August, 2006 01:55

Today I saw a few posts that mentioned Akismet.  This is a service to help stop blog comment and trackback spams.  The contents of each comment is sent to Akismet's servers in an HTTP POST request and then the response is whether Akismet considers the comment spam.

Akismet started out as a WordPress plugin, and it has been ported to several other blogging systems.  I have ported it to LifeType.  This was pretty easy, especially with Bret Kuhns' Akismet php class.
