Yet again, I know. I seem to have a habit of starting online things that don’t last.

At least I’ve still got this.

Mozilla Firefox security update

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 09:42:33 +0000

On September 6 a security vulnerability affecting all versions of Mozilla Firefox and the Mozilla Suite was reported to Mozilla by Tom Ferris and on September 8th was publicly disclosed.

On September 9, the Mozilla team released a configuration change which, as a temporary measure to work around this problem, disables IDN in the browser. IDN functionality will be restored in a future product update.

The (temporary?) fix:

1. Type about:config into the address field and hit Enter.
2. In the Filter toolbar, type network.enableIDN.
3. Right click on the the network.enableIDN item and select toggle to change value to false.

Something in the Genes?

Brother #1: Dad and mum like sleeping too.
Brother #1: I once remember asking them for a home assigment to interview them.
Brother #1: What is your hobby? Sleep.
Brother #1: Seriously? Yup, sleep.
Brother #1: I need to write it in my book for teacher. Okay. Put… hmm… fishing.

Anyone throwing a Halloween party anytime soon? This might fit into your menu…

Google Talk

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 13:10:35 +0000

I was talking to Will when the subject of Google Talk came up. I haven’t downloaded it yet, and I feel completely no inclination to download it because I already have Skype. Google isn’t really doing anything new or fresh with their Google Talk. It’s exactly like Skype from what I read, other than the integration with Gmail accounts, and the ability to connect with other clients (like Gaim, though you will have to forgo the voice call function).

For comparison’s sake:

Google Talk:

Voice call other users

IM other users

Runs only on Windows platform

Ability to connect via other clients (but then it’ll work just like any other messengers out there

Skype:

Voice call other users

IM other users

Voice call phone numbers (with a fee)

Receive incoming calls from telephones (with a fee)

Voicemail feature (with a fee)

Runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Pocket PC

I guess I’m biased. I love the speed of sending files through Skype. :P But Google, considering how they are always hiring the top programmers (or so they say?), should come up with something creative instead of the same old things everyone has done before.

This Definitely Isn’t Due To My Popularity…

Whoa… wtf! It went from the normal 1.41GB in April to 10.80GB last month! >_

Children’s Books

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 12:05:48 +0000

My first exposure to English was through this series, Peter and Jane. Goes like the usual, “Peter has a dog named Pet.” Or the ultra-boring repetition, “Peter likes to play. Jane likes to play. Pet likes to play.” So boring that I only read it when Mom was looking, and when she isn’t, I steal my elder brothers’ books to read. I don’t get it though. Once you already know how to read and understand complete sentences made of more than ten words, why the heck was Mom will insistent on making me read sentences made of three almost-monosyllabic words?!

I think on some other parts of the world, it’s Dick and Jane. Or something like that. But whatever. All that to learn English.

Know what we missed?

Don’t Panic

The Guide to Life, The Universe and Everything. Granted, I prefer Wikipedia as my source of reference (it’s much more organised and less full of mindless crap). But if you’ve watched the movie and have no clue of the importance of a towel (and is resisting reading the book), time to get enlightened in Douglas Adams’ own words.
