CSS XSS RSS ASS?

authored on Saturday, September 1st 2007

How did you spend your merdeka? Holidaying? Pak Tor-ing? I was ss-sing! In just 3 days I learnt every single of the 4 items listed on the title.

 CSS – Cascading style sheet. Cool stuff. Imagine you want to change all your links color to green, just add in your external style sheet

a:link{
color:green;
}

piece of cake.

XSS – Last known was called Cross Site Scripting, but many people started to get confused between Cascading  Style Sheet and Cross Site Scripting, so they named the latter as XSS. So what’s XSS? basically it’s preventing you from using javascript or any language for that matter to manipulate a page that doesn’t belong to you. For example, you can’t click a button and autofill my search box because… well, that’s XSS for you.

RSS -  Really Simple Syndication. What’s so simple about it? I’ve been on the web for over two years now and I couldn’t really figure out how and what RSS is for until I had my own personal Merdeka these last 3 days. Creating your own RSS feeds means to compile all your information into a file say “rss.xml” with xml standard coding. It’s really simple because everything in the rss.xml has a head and a body.

<title>This is my first rss</title>
<description>Tomagogame? Never heard of him. </description>
<url>http://www.tomagogame.com</url>

so on and so forth. Go google “create my first rss feeds”.

ASS – Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……. I’m sure you and I know what this means. Nope, nothing related to a donkey. It’s a biological chemistry that happens when one consumes a lot. ASS is nothing more than an abbr of ASSimiliation. Digestion. Ingestion.

OKay, the last one was crap but hey, 3 of the 4 were useful stuff and learning how to implement them into my work gives me more added value and thus increase pay.

Comment quickly and you might get a free lunch from me ;)

Five Things You Don’t Know about Tomagogame

authored on Thursday, April 5th 2007

Some fellow tagged me  so now I have to talk about some grandmother stories… just kidding!

Here are five things that I believe, no one knows about:

1. 80% of my blog I not typed but voice initiated!  The words that you see here, are literally typed as I speak into a microphone.  Isn’t that cool!

2. I learned how to write 1 to 10 in Korean in one sitting. ir i sam sa wo puk chir par ku sim. See!  I can write it though I can’t put the Korean characters on my website.

3. I drink carrot and apple juice every morning (unless I run out of fruits to juice).  Have yogurt and oats for lunch. Ain’t I health-conscious?

4.  Thanks to the carrot juice and a detoxification program, I look 10 years younger :-)

5. Though many say I am a computer expert, I have no idea how to use RSS feeds!

These five things doesn’t make the world a better place to live in so I will tag no one. Get a life!
