12 Rules for Online Survival

admin — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:16:23 +0000

I’ve personally broken most of these, and suffered the consequences.

I hope you learn from my mistakes.

1. Use your commonsense. Don’t believe everything you hear, read, or see. 2. Don’t authorise, buy, or sign up for ANYTHING unless you know what is, what it does, whether it works, and whether you need it.

TWITTER. I was Wrong. Damn it!

Over a year ago, I tried out a funny little web application called Twitter.

After playing with it briefly, I decided that it didn’t really make sense, and so I forgot about it.

After all, why would you want to send out little 140 character messages about what you were doing?

The buzz about twitter kept going, and [...]

20 minutes.

That’s how long it takes for harmful programs to start finding your unprotected Windows computer on the internet. And install themselves.

It seems that many people still believe that they are safe from harmful programs if they don’t open any email attachments.

Not True.

If you connect an unprotected Windows based computer to the internet, it’s highly [...]

Apple iPhone launches in Australia today.

admin — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:02:37 +0000

The most hyped mobile phone in history went on sale in Australia today. I’d hate to be a phone manufacturer that was competing with it. You can buy it from Telstra, Optus, or Vodaphone.

If you got it from Telstra, you’d be able to take full advantage of the speed of their Next G network for checking your [...]
