Oyster card hack to be published

The research will be unveiled at a security conference in OctoberDetails of how to copy the Oyster cards used on London's transport network can be published, a Dutch judge has ruled.

Microsoft has put on an announcement through one of its many channels that Office 2007 owners can expect Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 1 to show up in their Windows Automatic Updates sometime on or after June 16. The Office 2007 SP1 has been available since December of last year but Microsoft has been careful about forcing it into the general population of Office users.

MoneyMakerInfo Has A New Look

I have completed the template change process for MoneyMakerInfo. Now when you visit MoneyMakerInfo.blogspot.com, it will looks completely different. All the previous information, articles and content about making money online have also successfully transferred to this blog.

Hope you will like this template and it is more user friendly to you when browsing on moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com to find the money making information you are looking for.

The template change process isn't easy as I thought. I thought I just have to download a new template, upload it to Bloggers and make some minor modifications to the template. But, there are a lot more steps I have to take when really doing it. There are a number banner ads that already pre-set on this new template. I have to search the banner code inside the template to delete them. Then, the template code is in XHTML format. It wouldn't work on all kinds of HTML code you add in. I need to keep searching on Google for help about how to add html code to the XHTML template.

A lot of trial and error I have to go through. Even making a little chance to the sidebar took me an hour.
