Some people in Kuwait are complaining about Fasttelco‘s security issues where some users are logging into different account. It started with a forum post that a user is experiencing some problem with his gmail account and logging on different account. That user was able to see other’s information and read his email. Google says that they are now working with Fasttelco to solve this problem.

However, it seems that the problem extended even more and reports are coming that the same problem is happening with Facebook and hotmail. A caching problem in Fasttelco is causing this glitch as the report says.

Fasttelco is one of the few ISPs in Kuwait and was established in 2000. More information about Fasttelco can be found here.

Good web developer takes care of as much as possible of users browsing there web site whatever OS or web browser they are using. A good tool to do that is Browsershots that gives you a screenshot of many browsers and different version of every browser.

I found this great source of tutorials for anyone who’d like to learn a new JavaScript and Ajax framework. RoseIndia has a whole section in its web site just for Dojo Tutorial. A great free way to learn Ajax with step by step tutorials but you must have some knowledge in using JavaScript.

This is a good one!

I have been listening to Scott Hanselman‘s podcast for long time and it’s really very informative for geeks. Anyway, Channel 10 decided to wander around Scott’s home and see what geeks can do to make life more techie and easy. I like this video maybe because we are building a house now and I’m gonna make it state of the art smart home. Lemme tell you that my home will be far smarter!

Finally, we can go back to normal with the end of the strike. WGA has announced the end of the bloody strike and now we can watch our favorite episode airing as normally as it should. No more short seasons (Heroes S02 is only 11 episodes wth!) or delayed episodes (took ages to continue airing Prison Break S03). Crippling the TV industry is over.

And I live happily ever after…

Version 6 of Drupal, the famous CMS, is released and ready for download. Many new and improved features are introduced, above all the new OpenID integration built-in. More about the new version can be found here.

I’m currently using Drupal 5.7 for student’s computer engineering society’s new web site at my university. I’m going to upgrade to the new version, but I think after few weeks because I got no time to do many changes in the web site. I’ll announce the web site URL soon.
