Just thought it could inspire again...

I was renovating my 2-year old unpublished website, when I run into this blog I've written likewise two years ago...just thought of re-blogging it... here goes...

GIVE A PERSON A FISH (21 Oct 2007)

It's kinda funny.... earlier i was doing my thing with my website when suddenly the dialogue box popped up with the message "...requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without connection)... Sigh of all sighs, every time I work on the net the more and more things become cyber complicated. A simple command will lead to a complex question, it has to be researched and once the inquiry is sufficed another jargon will comeup, then it will be answered. Then it will be linked to another inquiry again, and so on and so forth. Anyway that's what makes computing fun and challenging. Until I was alerted by this "basic authentication" thing. So, as usual search the net for the explanation to this quandary. And would you care to know what the reply was? "GIVE A PERSON A FISH, THEY EAT FOR A DAY. SUGGEST THEY INTERNET SEARCH AND LEARN A SKILL FOR A LIFETIME." What can you say? Even the NET is aware of its values? Funny isn't it?
