Victor's Blog about the Web, Security and Life

The web for me is a hobby where standards and best practices are daily bread. Security is a concern that everybody must be aware of its details for IT in general, and the web in particular, to be a safer place. My life, on the other hand, is that of a regular Lebanese citizen where politics and social issues are discussed on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and make sure to drop me a comment about any topic you find interesting.

The Header Part

As you can notice, the header part of my blog is changed to something that includes my picture as well as some other stuff although not visible in there (Ray promised a header for my blog so expect something new very soon).

Anyway, this post is just an explanation of the header: That's me at the left and my favourite penguin at the right (the Linux logo for newbies). In the middle you will find the cedar (symbol of Lebanon, my country). In the background there are two things: the earth (although not very clear) and the Internet channels (the orange dots that you see scrambled across the earth).

I also thought of defining the term Blog in my title since I am always asked about its meaning ;) Blog stands for Web Log. Why didn't they call it Wlog and called it Blog instead? I don't know. Maybe it sounds better :)

I received this email today about Neil Armstrong and Mr. Gorsky's case. It is said that this is a true story about Neil Armstrong.

I felt posting this message here to simplify my sharing process ;) Share with your friends. Really funny and true (said to be at least)

Domain Name Locking

It has come to my attention lately that many hosting companies in Lebanon do not implement the domain locking policy that was recommended by ICANN back in 2004. In this article, I will simply state what ICANN (Internet Corporation on Assigned Names and Numbers) has to say about this topic and about its importance.
