This year, on The Serpent
Isn't it hard to believe that The Serpent is almost 10 years old! 2010 will see no exception in our usual lax approach to updating the site, and we'll be focusing on the next operating system from Microsoft that doesn't seem like another stepping stone - Windows 7, along with it's shiny new Media Center.
Also, this year is going to start with some badly needed computer upgrades, so I can finally get a good performance out of Crysis and Modern Warfare 2, and HTTPHack will continue to...(Read More)

Google Counter
In case your wondering, the counter on Google's homepage which can be seen by clicking 'I'm feeling lucky' with no search term, is counting down to the end of 2009... not the end of the world as some have predicted! Sad... sad people.

A Word on Wireless Networks
I just wanted to clear up a couple of things about wireless networks - mainly to do with security. Firstly, enabling MAC address filtering and then not encrypting your data is a bad idea. It doesn't protect you from eavesdropping, it only prevents people from using your wireless router. A moderate hacker can still identify your unencrypted traffic on the waves and determine your default gateway, then use ARP cache poising to spoof your network connection - easy as pie.

Google Wave Preview
I've been meaning to write my first impressions on Google's new web based collaboration tool, dubbed 'Wave', but I've not been able to give it the proper workout it deserves, until recently.

| Well it's only taken us seven years to finally replace the poll system that never worked (we tried to copy PHPNukes system but failed terribly), so instead we threw together some cheap PHP code to search our articles, downloads and news. Keep an eye out for the new search box (hopefully all AJAX'ed up!). | Please note that despite a few unfriendly comments from certain members of society, The Serpent does NOT come under the 'Disability Discrimination Act' requirements to make this site shoot out braile lumps from your monitor. Because we are a non-profit personal site which offers free services, AND since we have made 'reasonable' efforts - we're not doing anymore. Nuff said. |
X-Files Chronicles... |
Text Too Small, Images Out Of Place...? |
| The X-Files Chronicles is 90% complete and online. There's just some text formatting to sort out, and get the movie entry posted. I also need to get the 'love', and 'paranormal' highlighting working as well. | Tell us what you think of the websites looks, feel, touch, etc etc (except the graphics... we know they SUCK!), any comments or suggestions welcome. |
