Ah Hong — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:08:40 +0000

What? Why? Objective oriented thinking is a way to structure thinking. I find it very useful for decision making, project planning, debates, problem solving, …. Sometime I get stuck in an activity (e.g problem solving, debating) for too long and it seems that it will not come to an end or conclusion. Objective oriented thinking [...]

Simple PHP Script For Checking HTTP TRACK And TRACE

Ah Hong — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 11:39:58 +0000

Web server support for TRACK and TRACE may make it vulnerable to attacks. I came across Chris Mahns’s script while searching for tools to check web servers.

It’s to have enough initiative and vision that the best coders in the world will realize that they’ll do better with you than without you. Business people add value when they make things [...]
