I am looking forward to tomorrow very much, I have the fucking day off and it's needed. One more day like the last few days at work and I think I'd finally go postal. I can take a lot of stress but the one thing I can't take are spineless muppets. Enough said.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt I actually can say that I HATE Windows XP. The entire of yesterdays work was pointless as XP in all it's greatness simply didn't save it. Our network at work runs on XP and we all have our own areas mapped to storage servers so we can have roaming profiles. It's a nice feature that our network monkeys decided on so staff could log on anywhere. Yeah wonderful except most of us simply do not log anywhere because *news flash* we have jobs that require us to sit at a desk, therefore it's usually the same desk...
((((((((((HELLO)))))))))))
Suffice to say that at present I am working on a client for intranet that will allow folks to do allsorts without having to even open there browser. Pretty high end stuff with SAX Parsers, XML transport, real authentication working in tandem with PHP and MysqL at the other end blah blah blah I don't get paid enough to write it in C so I opted for VB (yeah yeah but this is something needs knocking up quickly and VB is GOOD for that). Yesterday was spent developing the form based GUI and applying that to the function classes I'd already written, nice object working in harmony with each other! W00t!...
... Until this morning when I logged on to find the date of all files relating to Fridays date. Panic ensued! I already knew the outcome before I even opened the folder, everything was as it was on Friday last week. Every byte of code written yesterday was gone, nothing, nada, nish.
A quick call to the techies..
me: "yeah my works gone, this isn't the first time and what can you do to help me get it back?!"
them: "Where did you save this work?"
me: "the desktop where I save almost everything, where most people save things..."
them: "You shouldn't do that, that's not your area"
me: "yes it is, it's mapped to my share so there is no reason why I can't save to it"
(note: the desktop is loaded from my share every time I log on so it *IS* in my area so much for there MCSE's aye?)
them: "well I can't get it back, we can't restore from there"
me: "why not? It's my area so it matters not if it was MyDocuments, Desktop or anything"
them: "we just can't"
me: "yeah seems can't is a word constantly linked with XP, perhaps you ought to look at a real OS like.. oh forget it thanks anyway"...
XP is shit. Plain and simple and even worse deployed as a network!
oh for mainframes to make a come back... central storage with thin clients... backwards is the way forward!
Now I've seen it all. No truly. Microsoft have put online a "A parent's primer to computer slang".
While it's important to respect your children's privacy, understanding what your teenager's online slang means and how to decipher it is important as you help guide their online experience. While it has many nicknames, information-age slang is commonly referred to as leetspeek, or leet for short. Leet (a vernacular form of "elite") is a specific type of computer slang where a user replaces regular letters with other keyboard characters to form words phonetically—creating the digital equivalent of pig Latin with a twist of hieroglyphics.
read the amusment!
It's truly a laugh a second.
"Long rumored and now official, the popular SHA-1 hashing algorithm has been attacked successfully by researchers in China and the US. A collision has been discovered in the full version in 269 hash operations, making it just possible to mount a successful brute-force attack with the most powerful machines available today.
This is by no means a disaster in practical terms, as the amount of computational power and mathematical insight needed to perform a successful attack is still great. But SHA-1 has been demonstrated not to be beyond the reach of current supercomputers, as had previously been believed, or at least hoped. Theoretically, 280 operations should be necessary to find a collision."
