Golden Spiders Need A New Web

Of course the links in the email might be more useful if the site was actually up and running ….

I got this:

  1. I like how they’ve hard-coded categories to exclude. Also how they’re using SELECT *, to maximise the chances of the thing breaking if the schema is changed.
    You’d think they might be able to pay for a better developer, what with all those entrance fees…
    Also, a little unwise to return such detailed messages, I think.

  2. Why would such a tiny site even need a database? It is a largely static site with minimal changes. It looks like an over-engineered piece of junk with nice shiny graphics added to distract from the poverty of the content.

  3. Possible press release from GS
    “Our site crashed because of the overwhelming response from voters”*
    * disclaimer (to protect Michele) – I’m being sarcastic people

  4. More to the point, Just what in the name of Jaysuss were you doing signed into the office network at that time of the morning 😉
