Apparently the Peoples Republic of Cork website has been identified as a site that may harm your computer.
This is a great site I visit regularly with no negative side effects, I think the site admin needs to contact Google and resolve this issue as it will reduce traffic to the site.
StopBadWare.org provides the abilities to see reports on sites marked as harmful and for site administrators to ask for a review on the sites inclusion in the clearing house.
The same site also appears as a paid link, Should Google advertise sites it has identified as dangerous ?
Clicking on the top search result which includes the warning brings you to a warning page which gives you another chance to change your mind before continuing on to the site, Interestingly when clicking on the sponsored link you are immediately sent to the PeoplesRepublicOfCork.com site with no warning.
Every Administrator should be making sure that their site has not been included in this blacklist.
To mark its appointment as the Master reseller for CodeGear in Ireland, MicroMail hosted a free CodeGear workshop at Jurys Hotel in Cork last Tuesday (23/Oct/2007).
This is good news as my experience of MicroMail has always been positive.
Ireland usually gets lumped in with the UK by most companies, so being from Cork and having used Delphi for the last ten years it was great to have a workshop in my hometown.
The workshop was presented by two evangelists from CodeGear and they went through the latest batch of products on offer from CodeGear.
- RAD Studio 2007
- JGear Plug-ins for Eclipse 3.2
- Delphi for PHP
- 3rd Rail (Ruby on Rails)
- JBuilder 2007
- C++Builder 2007
- BlackFish SQL
I’m not a Ruby fan-boy but the 3rd Rail demo really wowed me,
I’ve never seen a functional web app which uses a database created so easily and quickly.
This could be a very successful product for CodeGear.
BlackFish SQL is the long awaited replacement for the BDE and I was impressed but I’m concerned that the licensing model CodeGear have chosen will prevent widespread take up.
I was able to raise my concerns over Unicode support in Delphi and was assured that it is on the road map and hopefully will be out sometime in 2008.
After the workshop an excellent buffet lunch was laid on and we had the chance to talk with the CodeGear people.
An interesting morning that for some reason passed completely under the IT@Cork radar ?
