Web 2.0 as you may or may not, know is the latest buzz word on the Interweb, well actually it is getting quite old now, but nevertheless it still is all the rage, think facebook, think twitter think well this very blog! So web2.0 is, from the wikipedia: “enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users”. I have started to read some stuff by Tim O’Reilly and it is just, excellent because Tim has a unique and very expert view on everything tech and all the latest trends… Anyway back to the point, I recently read an article about web2.0 written by Tim in 2005 and it was very good and thought provoking, it made me think, what if I took the game industry and made the same web1.0 VS web2.0 comparison?

Learning to program can be a very abstract and frustrating affair, traditionally a very narrow link existed between programming and mathematics, at some universities programming courses fall under mathematics departments. It can be difficult for some people to learn to program. I have found that there is an instant when someone just “gets it”. To program a simple “hello world” program is easy it; it can be copied and pasted and it will work but to understand the underlying concepts and the inner workings is an entirely different mater. Concepts like Object Orientation are very difficult to grasp at first, because usually no frame of reference exists.

Lol seams like I was hacked, some fool deleted all my wordpress installs, lucky for me, I had backups and I could get everything back to normal within about 30mins after I discovered the problem!
A valuable lesson was learnt, update update update…. I upgraded to version 2.5 of wordpress and about a day after 2.5.1 was released I just didn’t feel like downloading and installing all over again, oh boy was I wrong… lol the “hacker” even had a sense of humour, after publishing my online banking phishing scam post, he deleted everything and replaced it with bank-of-america.com lure sites… hehe. He probably was using fresh, newly created email accounts but they will be unusable in a while, expect some very nice A-grade German porn to hit your mailbox very soon…. 
just as a thank you for waking me up….
