Contagion: Why Our Dependency on Microsoft Makes Us Susceptible

“Ask any biologist, doctor, historian, or agricultural specialist: what happens when you introduce a severe contagion into a monoculture population with little natural resistance? You get pandemic — widespread infection and damage. Whether it is measles and smallpox killing something like 90% of the Aztecs, Dutch Elm disease destroying a mainstay of the American forest, or ILOVEYOU in Outlook damaging files on machines worldwide, the result is a massive and quick-spreading epidemic.”

Diversity is healthy, in culture, biology and operating systems.

plogger

” is a cool little php web script. It allows you to do all things “weblog” OK, hold on Philski, what do you mean by that? What I mean is, you can create weblogs and iplogs. Weblogs are like diaries – you can write in them at will. You use a spiffy interface to manage your plogs, and add/remove/edit entries in a given plog. So you can have a plog with quotes, or with information on a trip. Or use it as a diary. And there’s the iplogs… it’s a comprehensive counter and logging functions. Damn simple to set up, insert two lines of code into any given page and you’re off. It stores not only the time of the hit and the IP, but
also the reversed IP (the hostname) and the page. This means you can have multiple pages on a single counter. They are all measures seperately, but this is cool because it gives you a simple database not a complex, clittered one. All the stats are accessible to you by a clean interface, the same one you use for plogs.”

“Your weblog’s rating is 41%.
Hmm. OK. You weblog is actually quite boring, but your situation is not hopeless. Prehaps if you made a wee bit more effort on it, then it might worth reading.”

Guess I’m just not bloggie, or is that linkageie, enough 🙂

Nobody Knows the Trouble I?m In by LadyJane

“‘Hello, could somebody please explain the reason why I?m in here!’ I yelled down the corridor. Throwing my hands up in the air, I walk over to the sidewall and slide down onto the floor. My head drops forward. I wrap my arms around my knees..” Read More…
