dezzo recently showed me how he did XSSI includes and PHP Includes and passing parameters to create pages by collaborating templates and content on-the-fly. I am now so psyched to create sites using templates with these inculdes, maybe i will even redo my entire blog.

Imagine reading 80+ pages of articles for research after a tedious search, cut and paste and reading it off your monitor in Arial 8pt. Errm… why am i not already wearing glasses?
Mom, there is someone in my computer
Is being paranoid the opposite of being ignorant, if so i rather be paranoid. The following is an excerpt from CERT®, our lighthouse on the net.
“How easy is it to break into my computer?
Unfortunately, intruders are always discovering new vulnerabilities (informally called “holes”) to exploit in computer software. The complexity of software makes it increasingly difficult to thoroughly test the security of computer systems.
When holes are discovered, computer vendors will usually develop patches to address the problem(s). However, it is up to you, the user, to obtain and install the patches, or correctly configure the software to operate more securely. Most of the incident reports of computer break-ins received at the CERT/CC could have been prevented if system administrators and users kept their computers up-to-date with patches and security fixes.
Also, some software applications have default settings that allow other users to access your computer unless you change the settings to be more secure. Examples include chat programs that let outsiders execute commands on your computer or web browsers that could allow someone to place harmful programs on your computer that run when you click on them.”

Out House part II
If you have been to Dezzo‘s site recently, you might have read about the Out House. I believe you are curious how it looked like inside. Well… my cousin happen to take a picture of his friend’s Out House recently and this is the Censored version for the faint hearted and the UnCensored version for the bold and dirty.

web metrics
I’m currently doing a research on Web Metrics, if anybody got any ideas, resources, articles, useful info, that would be very useful. Its for a school essay, the question goes as such;
Topic
An online presence does not guarantee success for any company therefore developers must be able to understand the web metrics of a site to improve its feasibility.
You have been appointed as a consultant developer for the CBS website. Prepare a report outlining the type of metrics you would request and how these metrics can be used to improve the existing site or to identify potential opportunities.
Note : This assignment does not focus on the software/methods used to capture this information but rather on how it is used.
