The too many acronyms refers to Intel and the encyclopedia of acronyms that they
have, it's baffling the number of them they have and the fact they think
everybody else knows what they are talking about…ah well. The PHP FTP refers
to a File Transfer Protocol script that i wrote in PHP. I wrote it so i could
update my website in work without having to use a normal ftp progr (Intel
doesn't allow you ftp out of their network). It is a very comprehensive script
allowing you to :navigate through your directories and place files in any
directory you wish, create new directories, view the source code of any file,
change the permissions of a file, specify the permissions to be put on a
directory as it is created. I now working on the delete directory and delete
file function and then possibly the change directory function. After I have ll
this done I will tidy up the code and make it useable for anyone and publish
the code on the web. At the moment the script lies in my protected directory so
as nobady can manipulate my files or file structure. Anyway enough techy talk,
have a good weekend campers.

As I haven't mentioned before the group I working in is the Performance
Learning Solutions department, they deal with all the external and internal
e-learning solutions. It's very interesting so far, I was in a room full of
4processor servers today. And ste the network manager was imprressed with
the access_log script we wrote when I told him about it. The link for today is
http://www.sspade.org/
. A very good tool for nslookup etc.

I've just set up the following page http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~proche/index/google_bomb.php
which discusses what google bombing is. The page also offers a tool for you to
launch your own Google bomb. This tool is not a means of sabotaging Google,
only a means of getting people to your site when they type in the appropriate
keywords into google. I got word from my tutor today that I got a good mark in
my project (he didn't specify what the mark was though). I got my desk in Intel
today and will start some work tomorrow. All is going well. Sya people………

Well today saw the first day of employment in Intel. What a complex, The place
is absolutely huge. The projects I will be working on sound real interesting,
it will mainly for the moment be web backend stuff. I'll get back into the
updates now that I hopefully have more time on my hands. If any of you have
been affected by the NTL change from EuroSport to CNBC then this link is for
you http://www.bringbackeurosport.com/index.shtml
. Sya folks.

Q-Which do you prefer, astro turf or grass?A-I dunno I never smoked astro
turf………….I got that joke form my tutor .

I just got word from Intel that I have secured myself a job with them for Intra
working with the Research and Develoent Department and the Software
develoent department. This will prove to be one hell of a Paddys weekend ,
bring on the Alcohol bring it on , come on Cletus bring it on. Gawd I love my
Truck. Irish

On mouseover the IRC link on my home page you can now see who is logged in. The
main chat page only holds 20 of the most recent messages , the rest are stored
on the previous message page. I have kept the messages in a newest at the top
fashion as it is most practical as regards thte page refreshing etc. The Intel
interview went pretty well (he spoke Norwegian and he was erican). I'm not
holding out too much hope but I'll wait and see. The link for today is http://www.skoool.ie/Default.asp?bhcp=1
a project that the Intel R and D are working on…Sya.

That didn't take long . I recommment Beginning PHP4 (WROX) to anybody looking to
learn PHP , a very good book. Anyway now you can see a list of all the users
online at any time , You can see it on the login page and also when you are
chatting. Please remember to log out. Again happy chatting………….

it out people , You will now have to log in to post any messages and false
nes will be a thing of the past ( well not really ,but we'll be able to find
out who it is that is posting slander (Ronan) by looking at their email
address). I've worked for a few days on this one ,Completely PHP based .I was
going to get an IRC java servlet working but this is much better than that
could have been (In my mind anyway ). If you find any bugs while messing around
please report them to me through my contact page or just post them on chat. In
the bottom left corner you will see a link to previous days scripts , this
brings you to a page where all the previous days postings are stored.(Backed up
at 11:59 each day). Happy chatting folks –Next project is to have a corner of
the page where you can see who is logged on.

It seems that I had the wrong permissions on my public_html folder for my
servlets to work ( obvious if you think about it ). But now they are working so
soon you will be seeing a live chat servlet that i have been messing around
with and others too. Also hard luck to the lads who lost yet again last night ,
come on the twins !!!!
