MJHutchinson.com Michael Hutchinson's Home on the Web

The site's only been up for five days and I'm already getting referrer spam. No comment spam yet, but I'll probably disable comments and trackbacks until I have some interesting stuff up, and sort it out then.

Thanks to some helpful advice on Caveat Lector I used a bunch of Apache .htaccess rules to filter out domains containing spam-like words. It's likely that there will be some false positives but until I find another way, it'll have to do.

In other news, Drupal's project module is giving me trouble; it refuses to track my projects' releases.

I wasn't quite as far as I thought I was.

There were still a few PostgreSQL bugs in Drupal that I had to fix before getting on with theming the site. This turned out to be too big a task for an evening so I modified the Drupal port of Michael Heilemann's Kubrick theme, changing the title picture (anyone recogise the mountain?) and the footer, hacking the template so that the sidebar vanishes if it has no content, and making a few other tweaks. Personally I still have my reservations about a fixed-width layout like this - even though it's very pretty - so when I have time I'll fix it up to use relative units.
