More stupidity comes along…

I have this friend who posted a bulletin on friendster about JS Linkers being blocked again…

Just to give you a background on what "JS Linkers" are they are script tags whose src is a js file…

<script src="http://fakejslinker.com/jsLinker.js"></script>

They are used on social networking sites to ‘give more features to your page’ kinda thing… but hey… I’ve experienced one of these and heck it’s bothersome…  

The poster’s JS acted something like.. when you visit his page, an Alert pops up welcoming you and if you are not one of his friends the page reloads to the friendster home screen…. 

Why is it bothersome?

(1) There’s an alert… Like hello~ alerts are a thing of the past on websites!!

(2) It reloads the page to another page… time and bandwidth consuming!

On top of that I don’t think they are called JS linkers because they don’t link JS’es!

And as far as "BUGS" are concerned.. it is a bug in itself…

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is really a problem due to security reasons.. And Friendster users exploit this. Some hide their ’scripts’ by changing the file extension…

JavaScript is powerful and useful but use it wrongly… it’s gonna be one good tool to pester people… especially blockers like Alerts~!

GMAIL has a new "favicon"

Just noticed today, GMail has a new "favicon" icon for it’s home site…

Before it was like an envelope with red outline like the one you’ll see when you’re already logged in…

Now it has that g thing… hehe’ 

It’s been a while…

Anyway, 

Almost all of the OJTs will be their last day on friday.. including me… so as a remembrance, Melai took pictures ^^,

Perl Modules — never forget!

When creating Perl Modules never forget that the last line of the file should end with 1; or else you will end up with and error like:

*.pm  did not return a true value at line *.

sample:

package SamplePackage;

use strict;
use warnings;

sub hello_world {
print "Like hello~";
}

hello_world(); #parenthesis aren’t needed

1;

i know i did… wahahaha

I was right… There was a disaster…

Last April 24 I posted that I wasn’t feeling well again like the last time…

Yesterday I heard in the news that a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit China. Read about it here.

So, that settles it… I can predict eartquakes… Bu of course, predictions are sometimes not true…
