Happy B’Day Buddy!

I’ve done it again! I forgot my mango bud ChanuX’s birthday 😦 Yep, I’m totally careless for letting that slip! I’m ashamed to admit to you guys how ChanuX, along with Aza and Randy, planned my birthday party. I didn’t even remember my own birthday while they were getting ready to celebrate it. And you know what? I forgot all three birthdays of my best buds 😦 ChanuX’s was the third one 😦 Now I’m starting to believe my parents are right… I’m not just turning into a geek, I’m already a clueless one!!! Damn it, I didn’t even recall it until I saw it on ChanuX’s blog! I feel really awful about this. I honestly do!

ChanuX, buddy! I’m so sorry I forgot your birthday! Please don’t forgive me, kill me!!! I deserve it!!!

previous caption Shows how busy I Was :D

OK, guys, here it is…

After the last couple of posts I published here, someone (guess who?) found my humble writings 😉 interesting enough to read and offered me a new gig. Guess what? Now I’m the Editor of the upcoming C…C…DOTorg! Whooo hooo! …Oops, gotta behave myself now 😀 Anyway, I’m sorry, but I won’t reveal the site URL yet… it’s a surprise! Hopefully, I’ll share it in my next post. I think you guys can now see why I was so busy last week. I had to give it my all because we at C.C.org want to bring you the best. So, what’s so special about CC.org, you might ask?

Nothing special, except it’s being updated (daily, hopefully!) by a bunch of tech geeks who’d rather sit in front of their computers than do anything else, even during breakfast, lunch, or dinner 😀 But I’m sure these guys (myself included) will make sure you get the best from the web.

So, I think I’ve given you enough excuses for my sudden disappearance, and I’ve got to get back to work now because there’s a ton to do! Oh, did you notice? I didn’t even have time to caption my last post, but thanks to my blogging tool Performancing, it got auto-named “post1” 😀

Forbidden side of a web site-See what web sites hide from you

Hi!

It seems my previous Firefox trick (or hack) has gotten a bit famous, hasn’t it? Anyway, here’s another hack! man… am I turning into a life hacker or what? 🙄 This one’s a really curious thing to check out.

We all know what search engines do, right? Yes, search! Baby, search! They scour everywhere for everything. And what do website owners do? They use all sorts of SEO (search engine optimization) tricks to make things easier for search engines, so the SEs can crawl the directories inside their sites smoothly and bring more traffic! Hm… Okay, C.J., enough with the technical stuff! why are you telling us all this? Here’s why…

Did you know there are some directories on websites that owners don’t want the general public to see? Yep, there are! So, what do they do to hide them from us? They don’t exactly bribe the search engines 😀 nah! what they do is add a text file listing the directory names that should be skipped during searches. Search engines read that file first and leave those bits out of the search results page…

But you know us geeks can’t stay out of trouble, right? Yep! There’s a way to peek at those hidden directories! All you have to do is tack on /robots.txt after the domain name and see what the site owners don’t want you to find 😈

How about checking out what Mr. Bill Gates is hiding from us? 😀 Here you go:

http://www.microsoft.com/robots.txt

And what about Larry and Sergei? Yep!

http://www.google.com/robots.txt

Oh, and guys (and gals), you’d better not try this with WordPress.com, or our good old buddy Matt might kick me out of WP 8O. He’s a pretty open guy and probably doesn’t have much to hide :D, but why risk it? 😆

Firefox Logo on my front gate!

Hey! This crazy idea came to my mind while I was having an evening walk with Firy (Firefox’s pet name). Hm…. yeah! Yeah!! Yeah!!! I know what you’re going to say. How can you have a walk with Firefox, right? Well, it’s true that Firy can’t walk on the road or on the beach. But there’s a fantastic place where you can take Firy (Firefox) for a walk. Yes! The World Wide Web (WWW) 😀 Are there any better places to go with the most romantic browser of all? Anyway, this isn’t what I’m going to tell you about.

So, this is the idea that came to me. My dad’s going to have a new front gate for our garden, and he’s planning to put a design (maybe the symbol of our family :D) on it. And you’ve already guessed what I’m planning to have as the symbol, right? Yes, what else? The Firefox logo 😀 Wow! It rocks me when I imagine how the local geeks 😯 will react when they see the Ff logo on my gate 😈 I’m sure they’ll turn green with jealousy

But there are some problems in making this happen. I’m not sure whether the local gate manufacturers can redesign the Ff logo with metal. And the biggest one is convincing Dad to decide to use the Ff logo. Maybe I’ll overcome these problems and succeed, or maybe Dad will send me to a mental hospital for a brain check 🙄 Believe me, there’s a huge chance of that second one 😆

Oh! And I was wondering, are there any Firefox fans who’ve got the Firefox logo on their gate or front door? Or do I have to take the patent for this gorgeous idea? 🙄

Happy Hacking!
