The last Friday of October I passed the PHP 5 certification exam of Zend, in the John Cordier Academy (part of Telindus) in Haasrode, close to Leuven where I am living. Today I checked the Zend website and indeed, I am listed now in the PHP Yellow Pages. Cool!

Both Jonny Reichwald and Greg Nacu mailed me about a little bug in my JavaScript natural order string comparison implementation, so I patched it. Here’s the latest version: natcompare.js

Recently I started reporting spam to SpamCop with the Okopipi Thunderbird extension. With a single click, all mails marked as spam can be reported in batch with one single e-mail to your SpamCop submission e-mail address. You’ll get a mail back from SpamCop with a list of links to reporting forms, one for each spam mail you submitted.
I didn’t found a way to open all these links in the e-mail with one click. If you have a solution, then please let me know.
Also the reporting process is a bit slow. You either have to scroll or click on an anchor to go to the submit button at the bottom of the page. So I made a small bookmarklet which will submit the reporting form for me.
SpamCop submit reporting form bookmarklet (right-click, and choose “Bookmark this link…” or drag & drop it to your bookmarks toolbar)
Finally I only have to open the list of links in the e-mail, switch between the tabs in Firefox by using Ctrl+Tab and clicking the bookmarklet once for each tab.
Maybe the bookmarklet can be automatically executed with Greasemonkey, but I didn’t try this yet.
