Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:46:53 +0200

“SQL injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and thereby unexpectedly executed. It is in fact an instance of a more general class of vulnerabilities that can occur whenever one programming or scripting language is embedded inside another.”

“Whether you’ve bought fresh snake meat at a market where snake is a popular dish, or you’ve skinned a snake yourself specifically for dinner, you won’t find a snake meat recipe in the average cookbook. Snake is somewhere between chicken and fish in texture and flavor, and may be made to seem like either. This article will outline a recipe which is also suitable for bluegill, so the resulting meat will be reminiscent of a small lake fish.”

“Newspaper reporters and technical writers are trained to reveal almost nothing about themselves in their writings. This makes them freaks in the world of writers, since almost all of the other ink-stained wretches in that world reveal a lot about themselves to readers. We call these revelations, accidental and intentional, elements of style.”

“Bagpuss is a popular 1974 UK children’s television series, made by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate through their company Smallfilms. The title character is “an old, saggy cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams”. The series is fondly and widely remembered, although only 13 episodes were made.”

“The experts say we are not supposed to pick up the puppy and hold it. If the puppy pushes itself out of our arms, it will try to brace its fall with its front legs, and they will break. Apparently this happens a lot. Instead, we are advised to keep the puppy on a leash if we pick it up. That way, if the dog jumps out of our arms, we can save it by holding the leash, in much the same way the Iraqis saved Saddam Hussein when he fell through the trap door. Sounds safe to me.”

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:58:39 +0200

“In HTML authoring, there are very good reasons to include an alt attribute into every img element. The purpose is to specify a textual replacement for the image, to be displayed or otherwise used in place of the image. Thus, the prime rule is: Consider what the page looks like or sounds like when images are not shown. Then, write for each image an alt text that best works as a replacement.”

“

It’s been four years that no Toog album has been released. The reason is simple: Toog has caused many bankrupties in the past and is knowned for the huge amount of money he’s asking for his so-called “recording costs” as everybody knows that his music is recorded on a bad telephone. He’s also responsible of 23 suicides in the music industry caused by his dull sales.

…

So it’s a little miracle to know that the german label Karaoke Kalk will release in febuary or march 2009 a new Toog album called Goto, which is an anagram of Gilles. There’s also a strange movie called Goto that will be released together with the album but we don’t know yet if it will be a separate object. One song of this Goto album called “L’esprit de l’inventeur” will be released on Kalk Seeds 2, a Karaoke Kalk compilation available in september 2008.

“The ‘water footprint’ of a country is defined as the volume of water needed for the production of goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of the country. The water footprint of a country can be calculated with either the top-down approach or bottom-up approach. In the top-down approach, one calculates the water footprint as the sum of water use in the country plus gross virtual water import into the country minus gross virtual water export. In the bottom-up approach, we aggregate the individual water footprints of the inhabitatants of a country to get the total water footprint of a country. Individual water footprints are calculated by multiplying all consumed goods and services with their respective virtual water content.”
