Still too hot...

Not as hot as it has been, but it's still far too hot here in the UK. Right now it's around half one in the morning and my house is boiling. We have the fan on full blast upstairs but it's still too hot to sleep :(

...um, that's it. I have nothing useful or interesting to say at the moment, other than to show you an amusing shot of an extremely public spelling mistake (pictured in a very popular computer chain near where I live):

A public spelling mistake

And if you don't see anything wrong with that, you deserve a slap. :P

Edit: WTF? My comments randomly turned themselves off. O_O Er, right, whatever you say, WP...

Edit #2: Ooh! A month til my birthday! XD

Why did I have to come back down south while the UK is going through a heatwave? *Boils* Anyway, yeah, it's been about 38°C (about 102°F) today. I know it was 35° in the shade at 3pm, so I can't imagine what it was like in the sun at midday. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter! ARGH!

And no, we don't have air conditioning. Neither here (my parents' house) nor at my house. Though at mine we do have a nice powerful fan which is better than the hot sticky solidness happening here. *Sweats, boils, faints*

Aaaand I have the misfortune to have developed hayfever. I've never really had it before but this year I seem to have become allergic to pollen out of the blue. Blah.

PHPAskIt Security Vulnerability

It has been brought to my attention that there is a serious security vulnerability within all versions of PHPAskIt, which states that the conversion scripts for Wak's Ask&Answer and the classic Ask&Answer can be hacked through the directory variables.

The security vulnerability is a hoax. The import files CANNOT be hacked through the $qadir and $dir variables even with register_globals on.

I find it such a shame that the person who discovered this has gone round telling everyone who will listen that my script's insecure (and every major security site there is) but 1) won't inform me (I found out through a Google search) and 2) makes things up. I've contacted them several times but each time the mail has bounced back. *Rolls eyes* How mature.
