MS-Blues

2004-02-10 16:33:09.619623+01 by meuon 0 comments

Geek stuff: The last MS-Patch broke the login:passwd@www.fleeze.com/flutterby URL spec and I got code and systems to rewrite. Accoring to Micro it's my fault for creating systems that have a 'public' access level that I linked access to that way.. as well as some other tricks for links spanning systems or userlevels. I contend that MS is the leading cause of code re-writes, even on non MS platforms, just because they change the spec by the sheer weight of their user base, and when they make changes, it affects everyone.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
