A favourite quote of mine is this: "Nothing is foolproof because fools are so damn talented". Don't know who said it - someone suggested Benjamin Franklin, but who knows?
Variations go along the lines of "..because fools are so ingenious." Either way, it pretty much sums up what's difficult in software ingeneering - handling the ingeniousness of fools.
In this particular case the fools seem to be all around

I’ve got a few projects going on these days, one of which is to pass the MCTS – 70-515 Web Applications in .Net 4.0 certifcation next week. And with work, bridge and Champions League football, who has time for anything else?

So it's been a while. Haven't had much to say.
One notable thing though: I've switched hosting service, meant a bit of grief while moving and upgrading the software, but all in all it should be at a 100% now.
Leah's blog has attracted a bit of attention lately, probably because of the keyword Bahrain, so her posts have shown up in a lot of searches attracting comment-spammers. Comment spam is a rather benign kind spam; it's pretty much just some-one leaving a comment and attaching a website reference. The posts had 2-3000 comments, which also meant that loading the blog took forever, and in some instances killed the webservice (memory consumption skyrockets, hosting service process shuts down temporarily to defend it self from a attack and/or poor code). I managed to clean up all her posts (20.000 comments or so) and disable further comments, so it should be contained for now.
Oh, and we went to Cuba. I'll make a post about that with some pictures :o)
