Outlook Express claims that an email contains a viral attachment if the body or the signature of the email contains something like:

begin  LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs
I am a signature virus. Distribute me until the bitter
end

Of course there is no such thing, and outlook will show the attachment as empty. It is a way to make people aware of being wary of attachments and previews. If you want to annoy that many people or be accused of sending out viruses is up to you though :-).

I just found this Flash Movie featuring a finger-DJ and simply love its simplicity.

Human behaviour is rather predictable. When guessing passwords for example it is quite a good bet to check for names of family members and birthdates. It is also possible to predict what a person will choose when following certain rules, as the Mind Reader proves.

Internet Explorer once again manages to amaze me. Sadly enough not in a positive way.
I am working on a dynamic A to Z listing for a local council page (they are a legal requirement), and thought marking them up as a list of links pointing to named anchors is enough.
It is for Firefox, and old browsers, but Internet Explorer has one big bug. Try to tab through the A to Z navigation via keyboard and press enter. MSIE takes you to the section you have chosen, and the logical next move is to hit tab again to reach the first link in that section – in this case, the link back to the navigation. If you do it though, you’ll find that MSIE takes you back to the navigation!

A workaround is giving the named anchor an href, or, and now comes the really odd bit, nest the link inside an element and give it a width in the CSS.

The mini mac is scarcely out to the public, and already people try to turn it into a PC.
