IExpress Wizard

Posted on 8:15pm 1/30/2008 by Bruno Silva in Software, Utilities, Windows

Today I found about IExpress Wizard utility. It is built-in in Windows and allows to create self-extracting/installing packages.

iExpress Wizard

I won’t write down a tutorial. Since I learned how to use it by running it just one time, it is pretty easy. Choose your package name, include a prompt before install (if you want to), choose files, include a license agreement file (if wanted), choose a command to run after the extraction and enable a restart request if needed. A finished message can be customized.

To open the program, go to Start-Run and enter iexpress

Really useful to distribute small software packages and applications add-ons, and … well just use your imagination.

A web page that crashes Internet Explorer

Posted on 12:28pm 1/30/2008 by Bruno Silva in Funny, Software, Web

In Internet Explorer make sure that you don’t have any important page open. Then open this web page in Internet Explorer. It will crash.

Just in case you don’t have Firefox, here’s the explanation that is written in the web page.

“This page crashes Internet Explorer. Why? Well a simple <span> element crashes Internet Explorer7, and an invalid onload property of <body> in IE6 is sufficient to crash it. “

Pretty scary… Imagine what you can do if you inject the right HTML into an important website… (e.g. in a article comment) Since the required markup to crash IE7 doesn’t even have script on it, it is pretty feasible.

Of course that Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions are freeware and are better that this IDE, but with #develop you get a chance to take a look a the source code and who knows, adapt it to develop in another language. #develop in written in C#.

Boca do Inferno

Posted on 6:50pm 1/28/2008 by Bruno Silva in Culture, My Life
Boca do Inferno - Ricardo Araújo Pereira Acabei ontem de ler um livro oferecido no Natal. É da autoria de Ricardo Araújo Pereira, sendo uma colectânea das crónicas que escreve para a revista Visão.Gostei imenso do livro. em cada página que se lê quase que se consegue ouvir a voz do Ricardo com aquele tom inconfundível de sátira.

Ainda bem que encontrei uma razão para continuar/voltar a gostar de Gato Fedorento, visto que a 2ª temporada do “Diz que é uma espécie de Magazine” no meu ponto de vista deixou muito a desejar.

Ainda deu para passar por maluco enquanto ria às gargalhadas no quarto agarrado a um livro :)

Acompanhem online as crónicas semanais em http://clix.visao.pt/Opiniao. (Ou comprem a revista :P )
