I found a great post about error type 404 at the PC GIST blog. The writer, who is an IT professional, lists varios 404 errors and reasons why they appear as well as possible solutions.
I’m sure we’ve all seen this at some point, especially when we try to access some Web page and instead of the expected page, we see this white screen and a familiar error type 404 message. It usually says The page cannot be found or Error 404: Not Found.
This is a http status code and it means that the requested Web site is not available. This could mean the site is down on the hosted server or something’s wrong with your Internet connection.

Today is all about fun with computers. Therefore, I have collected a number of IT/computer jokes that I came across recently. Some are great, some just ok. I like the one with the blonde. Enjoy!
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
During a recent password audit at a large company, it was found that a blonde receptionist was using the following password:

You may have noticed that I’m slow in publishing new posts. That’s because of the Soccer/Football World Cup. It’s not easy finding time to write new blog posts when you have to work 8 hours a day and also watch 3 games a day (or night).
This is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and some people find it more interesting and more important than the Olympic games! It has a rich history and the game is quite entertaining if you don’t mind watching a low scoring game. It’s as much about skill and attractive play as scoring. Soccer, as it’s called in some parts of the world, is not very popular in USA and Australia, but I’m sure it’s still watched by hundreds of thousands of fans there.
