LiewCF.com

Just setup a discussion forum for LiewCF.com. The forum is powered by PunBB, a lightweight open source forum script.

Why forum?
The main purpose of the forum is to provide a place to communicate with LiewCF.com visitors. The blog visitors can have discussion with me and other readers on tech related topics. Currently the visitors are come and go, I wish to have better relationship with them.

If you have any tech related questions or problem, you can ask in the forum, too! I will answer you personally.

Integrate PunBB into Wordpress
As you can see, the forum is integrated into Wordpress Kubrick template. Thanks to the template system of PunBB, the integration is quite easy and straight forward. I will talk in detail on how to integrate forum into wordpress later. Here is the instruction to integrate PunBB into Wordpress.

Try to submit a comment to a blogger.com(blogspot) blog but return me the following error:

Blogger HTTP Status 500 Error

According to W3.org, the error means:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Thought:
It is a server side error, nothing related to client side. It can be fixed by update the server software. I don’t think I am the only one encounter this error. Google gonna fix it.

P/S: Now only I realise that Blogger.com is powered by Tomcat.

Australian company Cybersource says it’s currently talking to two domestic banks about providing Linux-based bootable CDs to consumers to ensure Internet banking security.

The company yesterday released information about its Online Banking Coastguard solution. Coastguard is based upon Knoppix, a Linux distribution which boots entirely from CD and is known for its automatic hardware detection features. Cybersource has included Mozilla Firefox as the sole browser for Internet banking.

Thought:
That’s good idea to give bank customers a custom build Linux live CD. The cost for each Live CD is only the cost of the CDROM, because most Linux distro(Knoppix, in this case) is free.

User just need to insert the CD and start PC, it will auto load Linux, open browser(Firefox) and goto the bank’s website. No installation required. No setup required. No modify on hardisk. Trouble free, risk free and secure!

Secure, because it runs Linux, Firefox and is Live CD. Spyware and Adware cannot be installed. Phishing is less possible. Most importantly is that a Live CD does not leave any track on the computer. This is especially important to protect sensitive data, like online bank account login.

P/S: Beside the well known Knoppix Live CD, there are MANY other Linux Live CDs.
