Just started working for the 2nd week after getting back from a 3 weeks training in Germany and I’m one hella lazy to update my blog haha

Here’s my new cubicle…bought the 2 hats from Munich during Oktoberfest, so far I’ve never wear it during working hour inside the office ( my hair will get messed up :P ). That’s all for now folks!

I have been working in SG for 6-7 months as for now.  I am getting used to the daily routine of walking and taking public transport to work nowadays, nonetheless, I still miss driving a lot.

I have dropped the consideration of getting a motorbike, I realised that I actually learned a lot of new stuff by reading(stackoverflow.com, PG, Joel, Jeff, HackerNews etc RSS feed) in the MRT and bus.

The more I read, the more I realise my computer science knowledge is very weak. I plan to get this book, as it’s recommended by a lot of people but couldn’t find it in the bookstore, guess I will order it online soon.

How I love my friend’s place, went to his house overnight over the weekends and chit chatted for as long as I could remember, I rated it as 4 stars tangkap place!

Anwar ranked 2nd on Time.com Most Influential People?

April 23rd, 2009 by SteD

In Time Magazine World’s Most Influential People poll, you’d be surprise to find Anwar Ibrahim is ranked 2nd on the list.

Anwar Ibrahim ranked 2nd

Surprise?

In early stages of the poll, Time.com didn’t have any authentication or validation — the door was wide open to any client that wanted to stuff the ballot box.

Soon afterward, it was discovered that the Time.com Poll didn’t even range check its parameters to ensure that the ratings fell within the 1 to 100 range

What surprise me is that even big scale website like Time.com could make this kind of mistake, they didn’t have any authentication or validation AT ALL in the initial launch of the poll!

Actually the hackers are trying to convey a message. Interesting!

Full List
Inside the Precision Hack explains in details how the hackers manage to upvote and keep all the list in order. Interesting read I’d say :)

Jeff Atwood’s Design for Evil is a good read as well, always always always treat the input from your users as unsafe and evil.
