Times Man of the Year...

What a Joke, Just like some of the other people they have named man of the Year.

Good Grouping though. Bush is with Hitler.. (Also another Man of the Year..)

But how could you ever think this man deserves such accolades when only in the US does he really have a following.

Look at his legacy so far, Middle East, Climate Change, OH they call it (Climate Variation), Paris gets hit with Huricane on Last day of the conference.

Time Magazine i used to read it but no more.. To actually think he should be named that, What about someone who has not caused a death in the year.

They should be naming a person who helped humanity some how. Not a Person based on conviction. Especially one who lined his pockets and his friends with the Blood of Young men women and children..

SIN Tax

I cannot believe the Philippines government arguing about a sin tax.

Put the Cigarettes up to a min of 100 Pesos per pack, this will cut down instantly on the consumption of the sticks (I am a smoker at the moment.) It will not create an increase in revenue but will make a healthier country.

Imagine i can go to the shops and buy one stick for 1.50 Pesos Nothing else except lollies are that cheap. It will keep money in the pockets of the poor.

Then they will afford to put more food on the table, School, Health.

Same with Alchol, Place a Min price or Triple the Tax not this 10%, increase.

This will lower the number of drunk related admitances into the hospitals. thus a saving to all.

Armys design weapons to Injure not kill why Because looking after an injured person cost more in people and money than funerals.

This is the same with the SIN tax idea. Lower the number of injuries not deaths straight out.

Crime may go up a little at the start but overall the outcome will be a healthier and more productive country.

The President could make a Presidental Decree and that would be it. It must be done every Developed country has done it. (Become developed.)

Look at South Africa, Deny the problem exists (AIDS) and 30% of the country will be dead or dying in the next 10 Years.

....FACE THE FACTS....

If you disagree with me Post it..

Eclipse

Testing Eclipse vs other Programming IDE's.

The Wide array of Pluggins for it is really good.

The only annoyance is the Memory footprint, but hey it does C, C++,JAVA, PHP, HTML, Perl, ASP (VBScript). Othe numerous other languages in a single workspace.

I am trying to get it to work with my IIS server for WEBDAV and have completely given up, at this stage, (Must be Microsoft Problem.. AGAIN).

Why is it that whenever there is a problem it always has to do with Microsofts Non Compliance..

Next will be to install Apache and see it it works better.

Tested PHP vs ASP, So far it looks like there is a huge Performance difference between them two, PHP seems faster.

I am running a MySQL Server as the DB which IMO leaves MS SQL for Dead.

We were having major timeouts on a network we converted to MySQL and no more timeouts.

Yes the Transfer takes a while but it really is a performance based world, Drop the system for a couple of hours and bang your fully transfered over. With a couple of extra scripts you could probably do it in a couple of minutes.

Blogger for Internal Server with PHP

We have Php already installed and working on a server in the office i downloaded Pivot Blogger for people to use in the office (GPL Product).

So simple.. I was up and running with it fully in ten minutes if that.

If you are interested check out. Pivot Project

Well done guys..

Nice and clean and the install Doc is Lacking but i see why.. It needs none....

Picture Uploading

I sent a Mail to the email address hellohelp@picasa.com asking for information on why their program did not work as expected...

Shock and Horror... I still have no answer (Not even an auto Reply)..

This obviously shows why the program has so many faults.

If Google does own that company they need to get in there and use their magic..

Without it they will not go much further.

Hello, Picture Sharing from Picasa

Tryed and deleted ten minutes later.

HA. I am trying to load a simple gif image on security.

It wants me to convert it first to JPG.

Then it tells me the small image should be resized before adding it to my Blogg then it does not upload it at all...

I may not have read the Manual but how can such a simple operation be made so hard "Without microsofts help"

FTP and other basic user unfriendly programs are so much better.

So at this stage any photos will be just links to other sites.

New Extension wanted for Fire Fox

I will look at doing this my self i will have to look at the code for the extensions.

But this is what i want it to do.

Be Able to select part of a table and take the values and sum or do an average on them.

At the moment you have to cut paste then do it in Excell or Open Office.

The minutes this will save will be massive in the total added up during the week.

I spend so much time looking at tables of data in browsers and want a sum of a sub set of the data displayed and the only quick way is in a spreadsheet program which defeats the purpose of the browser interface.

BBC NEWS | World | Asia-Pacific | Country profiles | Country profile: Australia

Some thing i just found which is quite good is the country profiles on BBC web site.

I have had a look at some of the countries and it looks non-biased which is change, for the major International news companies.

Double Standards Again for American CIA

From the BBC web site this artice.

Once again it looks like America has double standards first the article admits that the data was never verified then at the bottom, it talks about US companies and citizens are not on the list due to privacy. (Why are they treated any better than people from other countries.)

Every day it seems more and more like they have their world and the rest of us live in a different world.


The report, published on the CIA's website, lists names said to have been obtained from two senior Iraqi officials captured last summer.

It does not say if any attempt was made to verify the data, and notes that some vouchers were issued legitimately.

Names of US companies or citizens found on the secret Iraqi lists were left out of the report on grounds of the US Privacy Act, the ISG report notes.
