I don’t want to admit it - but I messed up. I didn’t patch wordpress - and I was a victim of one of the released wp exploits. How could you let this happen? you ask. Well, I was lazy. But let this be a lesson to ya - don’t forget - otherwise its a LOT harder to clean it up (it took me roughly 4 hours to fix which included 2 hours of ignoring my friend on the phone…)
This example is a proof-of-concept I worked on years ago when people first started talking about making 3D games with no images - CSS only.
Working in a shop that has approximately 15 times more System-I as/400 iSeries (whatever you want to call it) programmers, I’ve been immersed into their culture, standards and mindset.
A while ago, I discovered the ‘joys’ of APD… and then more so, the ‘joys’ of not being able to make heads or tails out of the output script. After digging deeper, I saw that the original directory already had some PHP scripts to parse the output. I ran those and wasn’t very impressed. Even more important, my boss wouldn’t be impressed. I needed to be able to make something that could be useful to integrate into a table (I finally used dojo to create a table…)
This particular example is going to be based on a connection from Windows XP using Putty, MySQL GUI tools and Dreamhost.
So I’m sick of myspace… or so I say to myself. So now I log in about half the time as I did before… and this is because I’ve made the following script. It logs in and grabs each bulletin from your top bulletins. Then, it creates an RSS feed from them.
I found an interesting article about the parameters of the advanced search URL for google. Just for fun, I tested out their concepts and they were all true. I figured maybe there was a reason to do this as a PHP class (I think I was just bored…).
Just wanted to note this awesome registry change that you could apply to get a right-click menu on my computer that allows direct access to the event viewer in windows xp.
