Wibloggers on the London Explosions, Take Two
Here we go again.
From Exploring Orthodoxy:
I tuned into the BBC World Service at 23:00, heard the news about the explosions, frantically SMSed a friend near Shepherd's Bush [she is fine, thanks be to God], and then checked Ship-of-Fools to see what may be happening.
It sounds as if it could be some form of sick, and if it is I repeat, sick, mock-attack.
Lord, have mercy.
But this attack isn't as devastating as the last one. For example, here's part of the latest post from Geek Times:
The fifth and final portion of the web development stack of goodness, the web server, has traditionally been ignored by many web designers. After all, the only choice is between Windows and Apache, is it not? What more do you need to know.
Well, a lot, if you really want to grasp the power of web applications with both hands. Far from being just a hard drive connected to the 'net with your website on, the server is the veritable brains, brawn, soul and heart of a web application. Whereas you could write a decent website without CSS, JavaScript, server-side scripting or HTML (remember, WML, XML and other langauges will display in a browser), try running a site without a server. No server, no website.
So it makes sense to understand a little bit about what the web server - both the hardware and software - does....
Sounds like the terrorists have already lost.
