in Engineers: This Is How NOT To Do A Presentation on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
I once worked on Perkin Elmer projection aligners (semi-conductor equipment used in the photolithography process) that had a part called an "articulated waffle-tree" or maybe it was "articulated wiffle-tree". My memory isn't so great when recalling that far back! Regardless, it is mildly amusing.
One of my colleagues once told a clueless production supervisor that the implanter would be down for another 12 hours because "they were waiting on the dilithium crystals recharging." The supervisor went to a production meeting and spouted this line out with enthusiasm, only to find a room of people sniggering and chuckling themselves to death! Obviously not a trekkie!!!

Perhaps fixing the scripting errors when viewing the website with IE or an aggregator that uses the IE rendering engine would improve the IE share.

in A recruiter’s best friend on Scobleizer
That principle kind of breaks when you have a VERY common name! In that case you'll need to be doing a bit more intelligent research / searching of the net.
I've always found recruitment consultants to be useless! Used them once and ended up in a job that I really wasn't suitable for and more importantly left within 10 months. Nearly all the recuiters I've used as both hirer and hiree (if that's a real word), have been more interested in filling job vacancies than finding the right candidate! Perhaps being commissioned based has something to do with that.
For all the "self importance" whingers, you have an option .... UNSUBSCRIBE! Why waste your time reading Scoble if you don't believe him or think he is just a self important, opinionated (insert prefered expletive) *!*$*F(! ?
p.s. Gary wont leave Dundee, Scotland so your company will need to relocate to the land of haggis and whisky ;-).
p.p.s. I had a hell of a time getting this commented posted. Connection timeout, 404's, etc.

How about some technical info on the problem so it may help out other Wordpress users in the future who are having the same issue?

Hey Scoble, you've obviously not seen these viral adverts from Microsoft:
http://download.microsoft.com/documents/uk/live...
http://download.microsoft.com/documents/uk/live...
They are certainly heading in the right direction over those suckie Microsoft adverts that only the marketing folk seem to like!
Just hope they got permission from George Lucas to use the Ewok ;-).

in Die Spammers Die on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
Have been plagued by various types of Wordpress comment spam throughout the last lifetime of my blogs. Everytime I try something the spammers come back a while later with a new technique.
Now been pretty much SPAM free for quite a few months. The following Wordpress modules made the difference for me, along with some tweaks on my website control panel:
Spam Karma 2
Bad Behaviour
Mod-Rewrite Trackback Spam Blocker
Hope that helps someone.

John
