This is really funny. Well at last one very big driving force in the web is really pushing for the extinction of IE6. I don’t think it’s a grudge or something, it really boils down to practicality. As a web developer, adding support to IE6 really sucks. You have a good clean code, and then you have to add all the work arounds for IE6.

BUT, it’s not that all bad with IE6, in the contrary, I think it is so good during it’s time that a lot of people used it, are still using it. And that is basically the root of the problem. Web technology continues to grow, and IE also continues to grow, there are already IE7 and IE8. It’s just people didn’t bother to upgrade from IE6. Probably that’s how good it is during it’s time that people never really bothered replacing it.

Anyway, farewell IE6. Good memories. Good fun. And whatever other people may say, you were the shit during your time.

Hehehehe…. Just upgraded my mac’s memory…. Hehehehe….

Fixed my blogroll too

Another bad headache day. Seems to be happening often again.

Haayzzz…. My raid array failed. Now I have to re-setup my gaming desktop. One of the harddrives in my raid setup is fucking up, now I have to make do with one harddrive.  T_T

I hope performance will not be affected that much.

I just upgraded my macbook pro to snow leopard. The process was extremely painless, more like put the dvd in, click a few buttons and then voila, Mac OSX 10.6

I haven’t gone through all the changes and improvements, but the previous settings that I have managed to check are still in place. I did encounter one minor problem. When i restarted my lighttpd, it crashed. After checking what’s wrong, I found out that my /var/log directory was reset to default so I have to recreate the directories again of my logs. After that, lighttpd was started smoothly.

I will still be spending a couple of days double checking all my apps and settings before I can say everything is working well. I noticed something though, when I checked the kernel, it is still running on 32-bit. Snow Leopard is supposed to be 64-bit. I immediately asked Google for some answers and found out that the 64-bit kernel is not booted by default. During bootup, you will have to press 6 and 4 keys to instruct the loader to boot the 64-bt kernel and extensions. Apple has rewritten all the core applications to take advantage of 64-bit technology.

All in all, everything seems to be fine so far. Although I may have to spend a few more cashfor 1Password because the current version is not working for Safari 64-bit. They have a beta though for it

We found out about this exploit in Windows Vista and Windows 7. All that is needed is the IP of the machine running vista or windows 7 and we can run a script that will force the machine to crash and show the BSOD (blue screen of death). We tried it and it works. I booted my mac on vista, gave my IP address to my friend, he run the script and my vista instantly crashed.

What an exploit
