Someone was trying an RFI (remote file inclusion) attack against my server today.

They were trying to inject the following file: http://[site].com/modules/id.txt into my site. I went to check it out and it looks like the file was hacked a few times.

In the top of it, someone added:

echo “Osirys”;
$un = @ php_uname();
$id1 = system(id);

A bit after, a funny haxor humor:

echo “0sirys was here and also is a fucking gay..“;
echo “uname -a: $un”

I laughed. You can read more about those RFI attacks here.

Hilarious:

I am tired of all those lame April 1st jokes. Will they ever get old? Does anyone fall for that anymore?

If you have a site or a blog, that’s how to make you look stupid on April 1st:

1-Post on your blog that you were acquired by Google or Microsoft. Problogger made this mistake this year. Lame!

2-Post that you will be shutting down. webkit did this mistake in 2007. Lame, lame and lame.

3-You post anything with the words: “Government”, “seized” and “monitoring”. College Humor is doing that today.

4-You changed your logo, your name or your site layout. That’s lame++.

I need more lame ideas… Suggestions?

If you use Twitter, you probably have a list of things that you hate about it. However, what annoys me the most is not the platform itself (as bad as it it), but the way some people use it.

If you do any of those things you should be forever BANNED from using Twitter:

• You use “Tweeple” to refer to people on Twitter. Something like “hi Tweeple” is banned. In fact, if you modify any word to be Twitter specific, you should shoot yourself. The only exception is “tweet” for the single messages itself.
• Your break down your message into 2 or more tweets. Twitter has a 140 chars limitation and if you can’t summarize your thoughts with this limitation, do not break it down on multiple tweets. Write about it on a blog and link to it.
• You say “good morning” before your post your first tweet and “good night” before going to sleep. Seriously? Do I even have to explain why you shouldn’t do it?
• You “Follow Friday” a lot of people without any explanation. I hate, really hate when I see 10 tweets from someone on a Friday full of @names and a #FF at the end. Why should I follow them? Choose one or two and be specific why they are good.
• Your description has the words “SEO” , “Expert”, “Social Media” and “Marketing”.
• You beg for people to RT your posts. If they liked it, they will RT your content. Don’t even bother asking for it.

 
 
 
Did I miss anything on this list? What else should be banned? Let me know and I will update this post.

 
I broke all the rules today. Check it out:

I love Brazil! It is a beautiful country full of natural beauties. However, there is one thing that Brazilians can be really proud of: their President.

He dresses well:

Has a cute belly button:

Cares about the environment:

Cares about its people:

And even plays soccer!

How cool is that?

Yes, you read it right. He should be shot. One hour earlier every morning? Kids sleeping later because it is still sunny?

Oh, he is dead already. Justice was made.

Pie Charts and Powerpoint presentations are the two things that I hate the most (more on that another day). They are 99% of the time useless, with no-content and merely used to fill blank space and look pretty. Well, just like this post.

However, Pie Charts can be very useful to graph one thing and one thing only:
