Computers Threatened
posted at 05:32 AM - Category: Programming

Computer systems could today be prone to a second outbreak of the most prolific virus of 2005. Sober could strike as computers which were affected in November 2004 begin spreading the "worm" programme once again. It is hoped the attack will have limited impact as security experts have had time to put measures in place. However a recently discovered flaw in windows system could be a greater threat. There are fears that the virus is widely spread by virus writers and could leave millions of computers at risk. Better update windows and your virus checkers I think!

Don't use AJAX just because you can
posted at 07:31 PM - Category: Programming

Before you decide to jump on the AJAX bandwagon you should go read "AJAX and JavaScript - Because You Should, Not Because You Can" and take notes. AJAX is an awesome technology allowing you to update content without refreshing the page. But people really need to think about when and where they use it, and most important, should they use it at all. Most sites don't even need it. Sites that have some sort of application, sure, think about using AJAX. Flickr uses AJAX very well and bloglines could really use some AJAX. Great article and I echo the sentiment. Think about it before you do it! That goes for everything, accept for vodka or money, in which case the answer is always YES!
