More and more clients provide us with MS Word .doc format file documents to go up on their websites. Sort of deja vu. Makes me remember the ole days of the ’90s when web mastering meant hand coding content into plain html files and ftp-ing them up to the server.
Today we’re so much addicted to […]

Spam and phishing infestation is not restricted to home users’ poorly protected computers running Windows. Common wisdom says these are making a reap harvest for the malicious code writers. Yet a recent study published by The Register indicates that corporate America is another victim of this phenomenon. Zombie machines inside Oracle’s or HP’s networks were […]

It’s been such an old hat to blog again (and again) about the super dooper advantages of getting your software out of the box. Many IT advising bloggers waste efforts to convince business owners of the superiority of OSS (Open Source Software) compared to proprietary solutions. And most of times, business owners will look down […]

Faye is painting and moving the office to a new building. The old one nearby, serving CADTEk since 1992, is also getting a facelift (big time renovating, painting, redecorating, etc.) and will shortly open with a ’surprise’ shop, shhh…
All nice and happy, but what’s that having to do with spamming, phishing and net crimes? Not […]

 Doh, three weeks to catch up, here we go:
1. Simple Joomla/VirtueMart routines
Three new Joomla installs in a weektime. I see nothing challenging with this state-of-the-art CMS. Unless you have to integrate a shop data base of several thousands items that relate through several… tens of thousands categories, mostly redundant on items. The challenge, as […]

1. Bare bones mailouts
Windows Vista is gradually taking hold of the casual desktop or laptop. It brings quite a heap of surprises at the graphic user interface level and less improvements down inside at the security level. One noticeable issue has already grown in a scandal of sorts concerning the Outlook 2007 HTML rendering […]

This week we’ve released a new collaborative service for our small business clients. It’s design-less, database-less and requires no website building. All it takes is writing the correct URL in Internet Explorer and making sure to click that checkbox for Web Folders. Here’s the setup ‘how-to’ on Moonkah.Extranets: Web Folders for Storage, Sharing and Backups. […]

Faye pinged at me with a mail about doing a ‘web page’ for a new client. When I use to hear the words ‘web page’ referring to the action of building a web site, then I tell myself we’re on for a new round of web-ABC. So here we go:
Definitions of web-page on the Web:
A […]

This week came in with the launching of yet another Joomla web site. Having the site installed, configured and opened to the public is like filling the docks with water around a new ship. It still requires a tonload of details to be implemented and tested, and another pile of processes to get running on […]

Between Christmas and the New Year, hackers were getting -once again- more active. Or at least some of them hit two of the sites we built and managing. No big deal, just rewriting a forgotten chmod 666 file on a 4 years old (not upgraded) server, then half planet away, doing pretty much same thing […]
