Beautiful YouTube error message - 1

The techs must love it - being referred to as 'highly trained monkeys'...

This is a cut'n'paste of the error page:

500 Internal Server Error

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, show them this information:

One has a webcam taking a picture every few seconds.
The webcam puts the picture in a directory accesible by Apache.
One uses javascript in an html page to dynamically update a webcam webpage.

The webcam overwrites the previous picture taken.
The old picture ends up in the Recycle bin.
After a while, one collects hundreds of images 'webcam.jpg' in the Recycle Bin...

Windows doesn't provide you with an option to restore these files - without one overwriting the other (remember, they have the same name (and came from the same source location/directory).

Here's how I rescued my old webcam pictures:


| fd |
fd _ FileDirectory on: 'C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-527237240-515967899-725345543-500' .
fd entries do: [ :fde |
   (fde name matches: '*.jpg') ifTrue: [
       fd copyFileNamed: fde name toFileNamed: ('c:\webcam\webcam_', ((DateAndTime fromSeconds: fde modificationTime) asSortableString), '.jpg')   ]  ]

The above script will run on --probably-- any Squeak (-: and/or :-) Smalltalk.

Let me know if you've crafted a wicked variant on the above...

How about your good intentions?

Destination 1; Bangkok: A bustling city, ...

Destination 2; Phuket Central Shopping mall

Destination 3; - pure bliss - Kao Lak...

BBC NEWS Technology Microsoft 'taking security risks'

McAfee says Microsoft is stopping security firms from accessing the core of the operating system, called the kernel, and is therefore preventing them from releasing third-party security add-ons.
If Microsoft wants to make Vista more secure, it should provide equal access to the platform
Symantec weblog
Attacks on the kernel of an operating system - such as malicious drivers for peripherals and rootkit hacks - have become commonplace among users of Microsoft's Windows XP.
Microsoft is locking security firms - and other software developers - out of the core in an effort to prevent kernel attacks on Vista.
"Microsoft seems to envision a world in which one giant company not only controls the systems that drive most computers around the world but also the security that protects those computers from viruses and other online threats," the advert said.
"Only one approach protecting us all: when it fails, it fails for 97% of the world's desktops."

Beste leraars van 't lager onderwijs...

Gisteren, maandag 2 oktober heb ik de gevolgen van jullie capaciteit planning ondervonden, enzo ook de trekpaarden van m'n pa. In plaats van 2 huifkarren met elk 50 kinderen... Waarom niet 1 huifkar huren - da's toch een eurocentje goedkoper - en er alle 100 kinderen op duwen. Een leraar zorgt er wel voor dat er niemand uit springt/valt ;-)

Kwaliteitsvol onderwijs...
hmmmm...

Lidteken behandeling / Scar Tissue Treatememt

I've got two of them.
One on my tummy and one on my back; scars each about 15cm long.
I've had these for many years now...

No one ever suggested any treatment on them.

Thanks to the healing services offered by Jasmine Mas
(http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Jasmine+Mas%22) ...

After about fifteen minutes I "didn't recognize" my scars anymore.

A further follow-up session further smoothens things out ~ brilliant!
Fingerspiztengefuhl - that's her fix ;-)

(The more scientifically acceptable name for the treatment will be posted on http://ooos.redirectme.net/JasmineMas ~ soon now:-)
