Yes, there is a blog entry down there for maybe 2 years ago that says i'll update the site soon... maybe in two more years.. j/k. I'm not down with flashy flash at the root, just need to find time to update it / figure out what i want there.

cheers

so it's been a year and a half since i had an entry in this thing. This brings me to a conclusion that i'm not the blogging type... or am i ? Maybe i need to change the "scope" of blogging or redefine it for myself and maybe then it'll work?

lets try it

wow, that's exactly 4 months i haven't updated this thing.. .awesome, lol ;)

new site coming soon...


...and yes, i'm still alive :)

First of all, for those who don't know - there was a new vulnerability discovered in PHP. Looks like today some smartass decided to write a warm(Santy) that uses Google to search for phpBB boards and attack the webservers those run on (deleting all web files/defacing the site). That's around 40,000 servers around the world...

Would like to thank Google for doing the right thing and squashing requests from Santy worm so it's not able to spread any futher. I was about to shutdown some of my php server applications (phpbb), since Debian hasn't released a patch for PHP yet, when found out about Google's action. Thanks for saving millions of man-hours around the world Google. The upgrades will still have to be done, at least not in an emergency manner.

Took a week to find a long lost firewire card. Looked inside every little hole I could've stuck a pci card into... the only hole I didn't check carefully enough was the PCI one inside my computer... I knew I had one somewhere! ;)

One killed, three injured in crash

This was someone close to one of my closest friends

:(

Looks like more and more people are getting into taking pictures of food. Olympus added a "Cuisine" mode to their newest digicam!

Now i'm getting hungry...

Someone has wayy too much Time and Money on their hands. Fun stuff :)

Looks like This Guy is pretty creative. I'm impressed by the idea;)

These guys should be in the Guiness Book of Records for putting the simplest web page to the most sophisticated back-end.

was just reading an interview with Marissa Mayer, product manager at Google and came across following:

There's this one user, a Google zealot - we don't know who he is - who occasionally sends an e-mail to our "comments" address. Every time he writes, the e-mail contains only a two-digit number. It took us awhile to figure out what he was doing. Turns out he's counting the number of words on the home page. When the number goes up, like up to 52, it gets him irritated, and he e-mails us the new word count. As crazy as it sounds, his e-mails are helpful, because it has put an interesting discipline on the UI team, so as not to introduce too many links. It's like a scale that tells you that you've gained two pounds.

amazing.

The Zoomquilt is amazing!!!!!!!! Just think of the work and imagination that went into this project...

SyncMarks looks like the extension to use to sync your bookmarks between home and work and laptop.

Looks like BackupCentral.com has some free tape backup software solutions. Nice. Will have to give these a try.
