it's sunday and it's raining

one...

Google Chrome definitely needs to mature. The latest issue is a "Save As" operation that could trigger Remote Code Execution - here's the Bugtraq link.

Quoting the description:

• The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling the "SaveAs" function. On saving a malicious page with an overly long title (TITLE tag in HTML), the program causes a stack-based overflow and makes it possible for attackers to execute arbitrary code on users' systems

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!!!
I'm dropping Chrome for a while. It is a Beta version after all and nobody can expect miracles.


two...

Other than that, I searched for my name on a couple of websites commonly used by HR Recruiting people:

• www.123people.de
  
• www.yasni.de
• www.cvgadget.com

The good news is, I am not THAT famous! Besides my profile on LinkedIn, there's a politician in Portugal and another guy on Facebook (living in Toronto) serving as a distraction for people inquiring about me.

HOWTO: make company videos

not too long ago, an Icelander told me "people are stupid"

As a general rule of thumb, this thought will protect you from disappointment and prepare you for the most stupid (re)actions from other folks.

Coming from the guys that brought us LOLCats and LOLdogs (???), here's a testimony to our ability (as humans) to surprise each other...

It's not even worth mentioning that its feed was almost immediately put into my RSS Reader.

Curry is not their only export

This video soooo deserves its own post!
Its version with english lyrics is available here.

My loony bun is fine Benny Lava!

EVERYBODY knows the "crazy indian video" from youtube.
I just had my laugh of the day with its subtitled version (at least, how the hindu sounds in english):

Thinking I've seen it all, I just clicked away to finally spot this video with 10,973,951 views (yup, 10 Million), called "Indian Thriller"(get a glass of water first, my throat dried up really fast from all the laughing...).
This one ranked pretty high in my Top 5 "Psychedelic-SynthPop-JaneFonda-onCrack" category.

a good day to remember filthy words

George Carlin died this sunday - news report.
Besides the 7 words you can never say on TV (wikipedia list), the 2433 filthy word list words and a poster to remember them, there are lots of stand-up shows he made for HBO to watch and loads of audio Albums available.

open a can of laughs

Some folks have the natural talent with a small amount of words to cause a huge amount of laughs (ie. mine) anywhere I could be reading their shit. Some precious examples I got for now are portuguese:

• souburro.blogspot.com (headshot with almost every post)
• axpegix.blogspot.com
• a casa do maluco
• exactamente (thanks Mary Jane)
• and last but not least sopanobide (where I got some of'em from)
