Earlier, the server also had “/bin/ls” available to download although that seems to have been removed now. To echo what Kevin says, it’s amazing how badly they misconfigured that box.
Even more evil thanks to Paul Jakma!

Microsoft would have you believe one thing, while the Unix crowd has other ideas.
It seems the Microsoft site is down after they switched to IIS!
I went to the dentist again, more fillings. My mouth is just about un-numbed (Is that a word?) now though.
It’s a beautiful day out. *sigh*

Working From Home – the story of a multi-level marketing company. Amway is, or at least was, strong in the Cork area. I had a run in with them a few years ago and got suckered in for a short while. I just pity my “mentors”, they had moved into their new home several months previously but hadn’t unpacked anything because they must have spent all their time talking to new clients.

Coding Conventions
Or stuff I do when programming.
This is PHP orientated but applies elsewhere too.
I like to code using classes, and the functions in those classes for the most part return true or false. If a function returns false, then an internal variable, $this->error gets the error message set by the function.
When I’m working on forms, my validation function returns true or false, but $this->error is an array indexed by form elements which allows me to define a per-element error message that my printForm() function can use.
On the same subject, I populate a single array with form elements which makes it easier to walk through those elements.
