Improve Ping times
by Grimblast on Sep.26, 2009, under Gaming, Geekdom, note to self
So, during some random browsing around, I found a blog that had an interesting tid bit of info about how to improve your ping times. I remember reading and doing this before but since then, I’ve been using Windows 7. I’m curious if things have changed registry wise so I’m willing to potentially break something to see what kind of improvement I get in Windows 7. There are some drawbacks to what it does but it’s worth trying once.

If any of you readers out there were interested in trying it yourselves, please, be my guest but I take no responsibility in what you might break, hah! At the moment I’m at work but I will post my results after I’ve had the opportunity to do it.

I’ll Fix you Spam Bots!

So after an epic fail of my funny yet easily foiled addon to prevent spam by using a math question before someone or something can post, I have found a captcha related plugin that should solve the bot issue. Take that eyeless bot, hah!
And for added bonus, since I’m a registered user with a login, I don’t have to go through the captcha security so I can freely post replies without the check as long as I’m already logged in! Spiffy!
