Me, WingLoon and Abi were at the recent AMBP Gathering “Coffee Therapy for Bloggers” held at Starbucks The Gardens, Mid Valley. This was AMBP’s first offical gathering so nothin much was planned for the day. We has some coffee, laughs and alot of Hi and Hellos. Not to forget freebies, movies tickets, mouse pads, pens, etc….
Like AMBP this was my first bloggers gathering but I felt that the whole thing did not quite work to plan due to the location. Starbucks was small and crowed with chairs. Most of us sat and got into our comfort zones. Communication came to a halt….
My recommendation for future events would be to make them more interactive. Some games,quizes, workshops, brown bags would really bring the event to live. This is the first time and I’m sure the organizers will have more plans for future events.

There is an updated version of the Defensio WordPress plugin available for download from Defensio website or WordPress Extend. The plugin is now officially hosted on WordPress Extend.
Changes in this release;
New plugin name.
Formerly Defensio but now it’s Defensio-anti-spam. “/wp-content/plugins/defensio” –> /wp-content/plugins/defensio-anti-spam
Make sure to delete the old Defensio folder within the plugin folder before installing this update.
Unprocessed comment notification.
If the Defensio service goes down spam will be queued and can be resubmitted through the interface shown below.
New defensio counter widget.
Just like what Askimet’s widget does, it shows the total spam count in quarantine. I have the widget turned on, I like Defensio so I’ll help spread the word too.
Quarantine status in Dashboard
Defensio quarantine stats now shows up in the WordPress admin dashboard under latest activity. Askimet always had this and it’s good that Defensio now has it too as admins love quick access to the stats.
Strong start for Defensio. The plugin added some much needed enhancements. Again, I stress that simplicity is the main goal and if Defensio keeps doing what they are doing now, Defensio’s user base will surely skyrocket. Kudos.
