Starbucks Survey - free beverage anyone

I’m not a all out Starbucks coffee lover at all (?). I just felt like this morning is good time to try those “Coffee Jelly” again. It’s been a while since the last time I had those. Anyway, the barista informed me that I was chosen (randomly i think) to take a simple survey online with a complementary beverage after the survey. More “Coffee Jelly” for me.. yay! So here’s the message after I completed the survey.

“It’s time for PHP 5!” says GoPHP5 initiative

Support GoPHP5.orgBecause slow adoption rate of PHP 5 especially among web hosting companies and developers, a number of open source projects and teams have put up an initiative called GoPHP5 to finally mark a due date to stop support PHP4 effective February 5th 2008. After the said date, any new releases of well known open source software will require at least PHP 5.2.0. Major web hosting companies have also agreed to include PHP 5.2.0 as part of their service offering. This is really a bold move and certainly will benefit developers and end-users. PHP4 has done a great job for quite a long time already. It is time to exploit the advanced capability of PHP5, besides PHP6 is just around the corner..

Tip: Completely Secure Your Gmail Session

I’ve been a Gmail user for quite some time already. I love the interface and logging in is as secure as I want it to be. However, once a user has provided the correct user name and password, the system redirect the request to a unsecure site for accessing the mails. That’s not good. I don’t know why Google is doing that but I just don’t like my emails being sent as clear-text to and from my terminal.

Recently, I figured out a way to redirect to the secure version of the mail interface. To do that, type https://mail.google.com/mail on your browser’s address bar or click here. Now, your browser will be redirected to an SSL secured version of the mail interface upon a successful login.
