A vulnerability in the Snoopy library was announced today.  WordPress uses Snoopy to fetch the feeds shown in the Dashboard.   Although this seems to be a low risk vulnerability for WordPress users, we wanted to get an update out immediately.  2.6.3 is available for download right now.  If you don’t want to download the whole release to get the security fix, you can download the following two files and copy them over your 2.6.2 installation.

Law for Wildlife in Malaysia Petition

24 October, 2008 By 1 Comment

Currently, wild animals in Peninsular Malaysia are protected by the Protection of Wild Life Act 1972. This 35-year-old law is severely outdated and riddled with loopholes.There is a serious need for the Malaysian government to remedy the loopholes and beef up the law, as many species continue to be poached and illegally traded at alarming rates. Wildlife offenders often escape arrest, prosecution and punishment.

We need this law to be urgently reviewed comprehensively and amended.

Examples of amendments needed:

  • That all products containing or claiming it contains parts of totally protected species to be made illegal.
  • That mandatory jail sentences and stiffer fines are imposed for serious wildlife offenses.
  • Please extensively review and amend the current law, and seek public input in this process.

SIGN THE PETITION HERE

Please Sign the petition! Its at a phatetic 627 signatures so far and we need to improve on it tremendously if we want to be take seriously! Bloggers, please blog about this and get your readers to also sign up!

The home minister was interviewed with regards to the ban that was imposed against Hindraf. Below are excerpts from the interview

“I think I got support from the Indian community who are peace loving,”

“(The ban) is not against the Indians or the Hindu religion. We have no problems with the Indians or the Hindu religion.

“The Indian community and the Hindus have always worked very well with us,”

“It is an extremist group. It advocates and propagates hatred, inciting feelings against certain segments of the community”

“We have got their addresses and offices bearers – that’s how you enforce. And their activities are now no longer legal,”

And now the icing on the cake :

“For your information, all ministers of home affairs will never take a populist view. We are never popular but we are like a candle – we burn ourselves in order to protect society.”

The Candle Has Spoken!

Wings To Fly Video

23 October, 2008 By Leave a Comment

For those of you who have not seen the video of the Petronas Deepavali ad which i blogged about a few days ago.I didn’t have the video then but i found it on Youtube(below). I have seen a few blogs who have blogged about the ad as well  and the comments they receive is pretty mixed.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and thoughts but this is mine.

Yes, its a Petronas Ad and Yes, Leo Burnett must have made some money as the agency that made the add but how does that effect you? I don’t understand the logic about worrying about something that doesn’t impact you at all?!

It’s the festival of lights! Lets sit back forget the bureaucracy, they politics, the money and just enjoy the advertisement! Happy Deepavali ! :)

Enjoy :)
