Little Place of Kamaruddin

Checking your e-mail on Gmail and notice strange atmosphere lately? Yes, Gmail now has an integrated theme inside (19/11/2008). So go pimp your Gmail. No scriptfu is required now.

Previously you can customize some parts of your Gmail with Greasemonkey and thousands of its user-generated scripts made available at Greasemonkey Repository. With Greasemonkey you can have Gmail on top of your Google Reader at the same page (which i really adore). Note that all these third party scripts and hacks are not officially supported.

Now, want to know how it feels writing an e-mail in the late 1970s while the green nasty monochrome monitor and cabinet-high system unit was still widely used?

Teman saya yang baru ngeblog ternyata memposting sebuah artikel tentang “Black Device” yang bisa merekam password dan membuka situs yang sebelumnya kita akses secara otomatis. Dia mendapatkannya dari e-mail yang dikirim lewat sepupunya yang juga mendapatkan e-mail dari orang lain. E-mail tersebut adalah hoax. E-mail yang berusaha memancing kepanikan, informasi menyesatkan dan membodoh-bodohi. Jadi waspadalah! Jangan cepat percaya dengan e-mail berantai (asal forward) tanpa terlebih dahulu memeriksa kebenarannya.

Saya kemudian memposting komentar di artikel tersebut beserta sedikit referensi dan berjanji akan melakukan trackback.

Have you encounter this situation in your office? You have to keep all workstations with McAfee ViruScan updated with latest definition but only the lucky few are entitled for web access. Unlike Avira Antivir, McAfee is not using static filename for its virus definition (ie. sdatXXXX.exe) and is incrementing everyday. Using a download manager won’t work since its dynamic naming nature.

Here’s where the good old buddy WGET and batch script come in rescue.
