This may be more than you wanted to know about .htaccess:
Now that I can use Apache’s .htaccess for my own websites, I’ve been immersed in learning more about how to use this powerful tool conservatively but effectively to redirect URLs and to combat spammers and bad bots. Today’s post provides links to some of the online sources that I’ve found especially helpful.
If this seems like it might apply to you go read and learn.

The 83rd Carnival of the Cats is up at Mog’s place.
What, another search engine? Yep, and even though it is still in beta it is pretty slick. Just start typing in an inquiry and results start popping up.
Steeph has a screen shot here.
Oh yea, I couldn’t find anything on their site about privacy and whether they planned to retain any information that would link individual searches back to the searcher.
Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?
We will add your post to the list if you do one of the following:
Of course, if our staff goes on strike then we will link only those posts someone tells us about.
Visit each border and come back regularly Friday-Sunday to visit new boarders. And do link to the Friday Ark whether you use trackbacks or not.

Kevin Drum and the LA Times bash arnold for vetoing some measures that targeted something called tax cheats.
First we read:
The governor has vetoed several bills that would allow agents to go after more businesses and individuals who cost the state millions by cheating on their returns, or not filing at all.
It is too bad that the state is being hindered by people trying to protect their earning from extortion.
Next:
The governor blocked efforts to increase penalties on retailers who filch the sales taxes they collect,…
These folks need to start providing restitution yesterday. They are thieves. Oh yes, the restitution should be to the people they stole the money from.
…and on companies that don’t collect taxes when they should.
Well, let’s thank these companies for helping folks keep their earnings.
A proposal to help authorities garnish wages of convicted tax evaders for as long as their debt is unpaid also was vetoed.
Hey, it’s their wages it should be their choice what they do with their money.
arnold is deserving of much derision and bashing. He is, after all, a politician and as such devoted to doing stuff with resources taken from others without their consent. In this case, though, he has some of it right though undoubtably for the wrong reasons.
And, Kevin, et al, it is pretty hard to give a war if no one, or few, contribute.
