Sometimes, things do go wrong, but a computer to go wrong is like Microsoft creating the worst thing in History : WINDOWS

Dedicated to the down-to-earth parents.”, “I must admit. this recent task I took upon reminds me many-many years back when I was a lecturer in a college somewhere nearby. My audience: Middle Aged Teachers. My task: To educate the educators how to be educated in IT and Educate the Educatees. See the pun?

Likewise, alot of companies worldwide try to devise ways to cut corners and cost, like using pirated software, old operating systems, poorly designed networks and so forth, and thanks to the Internet (or InnerNet as we geeks love to call em), the world gets far smaller.

But the basics are still the same, Plain O’ Computer running Microsoft WINDOWS. Whichever OS or Platform it may be. And too much to ask, that Microfish makes a mess of everything, especially their so for called ’security updates’.

Durgh! I thought it wouldn’t mind to me when the boys in Powweb were nagging about the active security level involving scripts. Heck, why we need to bother when most JS (or JavaScript) applications don’t need their approval as it’s SUN’s Open Source.

It’s like the days of VBScript-vs-Javascript again. No one is the winner.

Only loosers:The users.

Apparent to some, M$ blocked my anti-jacker scripts which I implemented to deter BOTs or ASP enabled scripts to SPAM my sites and users. Some recoded LYNX and CURL to run crawlers to sites and mimic as if it’s IE5.x and thus send spam etc.

Even the IMAGE VERIFICATION was passed due to the clever way they degause the filters.So I thought I had a wedge. Works on Firefox and Opera. NOT ON IE! Durgh!

So then,my client was on my neck again as her precious customers can’t see the site. Tried to persuade them to use FF or OPERA…but nah! well.. I had to over-write everything back to core..and now…I am back to step one.

Well, I’ve to devise more plans again..but till i get the portal templates to work coherently..I’m stuffed!

Now..back to work!”, “0″, “153″, “8″, “azrin”, “

It comes to show that Piracy doesn’t pay (Sometimes!)
