Dirk's Bad Behavior plugin for Geeklog has been updated to the latest version of Bad Behavior (v2.0.10) written by Michael Hampton. Bad Behavior 2 is a major upgrade from the original Bad Behavior previously included with the Bad Behavior Geeklog plugin. You can download the latest Bad Behavior 2 plugin here.

The Bad Behavior 2 plugin is designed to integrate into your web site, running as early as possible to throw out spam bots before they have the opportunity to vandalize your site with their junk, or even to scrape your pages for e-mail addresses and forms to fill out. For more information on Bad Behavior, see the main Bad Behavior web site.

Some of the enhancements found in Bad Behavior v2.0.10 include:

FrOSCon is a 2-day conference on Free Software and Open Source, taking place on August 25th and 26th, 2007, in Sankt Augustin, Germany. This is the second time this conference is held. I was there last year and was pretty impressed by the quality of the presentations and the organisation of the conference.

In addition to the regular program (now online), FrOSCon also provides room for Open Source projects to hold their own user meetups. So this year, there will be a Geeklog Day at FrOSCon on Saturday, August 25, 2007.

The plugin glMenu allows you to take control of your site menu's with an online menu editor and create dynamic themed menus. The latest version includes a number of new features which are described on the portalparts site and the wiki documentation gives you a comprehensive overview of the screens and features. It's now even easier to theme with the online color editor and menu styles.
