DESC is 1 of 4 XML Files Created By Enabling UPnP

August 3rd, 2010

This is a rather odd posting even for me. I thought I would share a little information which might be kinda hard to find. When I studied UPnP a while back, one of the things I didn’t find was information on what files were created and what was in them. Well I just happened to partially enable UPnP on an old system so I could see what files were created and what was in them.

Whether or not one enables UPnP is a choice based on security and functional usage.

Playful Comment on Interesting Spam at Network Lighthouse

July 25th, 2010

Daniel Thomas said via Interesting Spam – Network Lighthouse.

A couple of days ago I got a comment on one of my posts that struck me as unusual, it was marked as spam (thanks to akismet), but didn’t read like your standard spam. Here’s the text:

Good points raised here, (well, what I could read of it). I am afflicted with color blindness (tritanopia to be exact). I use Chrome browser (unsure if that matters), and a lot of your site is a little difficult for me to read. I don’t wish to whinge, and I know it is my problem really, nonetheless it would be cool if you could bear in mind color blind visitors when carrying out the next site re-working.

My comment:

Hello again,

Normally I don’t reply to multiple posts on the same website – especially in one evening; but for you Mr. Thomas, I’m making an exception tonight (your good topics and my good mood) I’ve also posted this comment on my blog just in case this one ends up in the “circular filing cabinet” along with fuller documentation.

My visit to Network Lighthouse was to thank a Mozilla Thunderbird Plug-in author and let him know I applied for a Rapleaf API key to reduce the community key usage. I found the website appealing and so I browsed around for awhile.

Reading this post and being in a playful mood (potentially seeing accessibility problems) brings up the bs challenge: Are you sure it was spam? You see, that comment reminded me of an e-mail (verified human) I had received years ago and it too was about “Accessibility” (on one of my sites). I do a little web developing myself, but am not nearly as learned as you, yet I still know a thing or two so I had some questions. Having already noticed you use WordPress, I decided it would be fun to validate the markup for the page. Another fun thing would be to validate the css for the page. Yet another fun thing would be to validate for Accessibility Compliance on the page. Yet another fun thing would be to reGoogle the comment and then search YaHoo and Bing too. Yet another fun thing would be to actuallly visit those pages. Yet another fun thing would be to visit the Internet Archive WayBackMachine and see what treasures it held on the referenced domain. Now remember that this started out because I was in a playful mood so don’t think I’m attacking you or your website, but do you know what I found? Are you sure it was spam or was it sent to tell you “it would be cool if you could bear in mind color blind visitors when carrying out the next site re-working” because the comment writer found “lot of your site is a little difficult for me to read”.

Yes, I believe this comment was submitted by a bot, however this robotic tritanopia related comment was targeted at your site for it failing specific accessibility compliance checks. The idea that your site was targeted comes from finding the majority of sites returned, when searching for that whole comment, also fail tritanopia compliance. Now don’t blow a gasket that I said your site failed those tests please (I have WordPress too), there’s a whole lot more to the story. The page I chose to run under scrutiny was networklighthouse.com/category/security/, it “failed” basic validation because the html contains two empty containers (unordered lists) which causes the validator to errorinously report “end tag for ‘ul’ which is not finished”. This alone will make all accessibility validators to fail the page even if nothing else is “wrong”. As far as the accessibility checks go, it needs to be said that there are something like eight sets of accessibility rule standards and most sites including yours are under no obligation to follow any of those standards – the “strictest” of which darn near requires the web page to be litterally nothing more than plain black text on a plain white background with font sizing defaulting to the browser.

Ah, remember that referenced domain? Guess what, it was a crappy looking e-commerce store. It had a black background and white text. The WayBackMachine collected pages between 02-18-2008 and 06-11-2008. I found the name listed under available domains on a 07-02-2010 cache of UK Expired Domain Names and Drop Lists. nominet.org.uk via wmtips.com said it was renewed the domain name on 02-09-2010 for two years to: col brakewell, “a non-trading individual who has opted to have their address omitted from the WHOIS service”. Searching for other aliases used in posting returned a fair number of sites, most of which ran WordPress.

One of the reasons I use FireFox is that I can override a****e webmasters who use cock-eyed fonts or tiny print. I opened a page using Internet Explorer 8.0 and had difficulty reading the text (it just might be me) so I’ll finish reading your site with FireFox.
