CMS – content management system

I haven’t posted for 2 days and I was wondering what to post next. Well, this may seem a little bad post just like any other  post of mine but  read it though. hayzz.. I guess I’ll have to make some good posts in the future. For now just bear with me.

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software system used for content management. Content management systems are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors. For example, the software for this website is based on a wordpress, which is a particular type of content management system. For the purposes of this page, Content Management means Web Content Management. Other related forms of content management are listed below.

The content managed includes computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. A Content Management System would most often be used as archival as well. Many companies use a CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies use a CMS to share files with ease, as most systems use server based software, even further broadening file availability. As shown below, many Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a “workflow process.” (wikipedia)

But for me, I prefer to use Joomla because it has a lot of functionalities and you can customize your own site that way you want it to be.

Spam Paint

Spamming is very evident in the web. You can’t imagine any email without a spam. Even in comments there are a lot of spams too(spam comments). And some of them may have a link to a malware and could attack your system. Man, I hate those. Anyway, I’ve found this cool web application. It’s written in PHP and makes use of GD Library. The most interesting part is that he makes this spam comments into an art. Can you believe that? Spams are now art. Well, I can’t really explain the whole process of transforming this spam into art ‘though I have some ideas on how it works. Just visit the authors website on spampaint. I guess that will explain everything. [link]

The only way to make your PC go faster is to throw it out a window.

Learn on your own

When I became a CS student I was aware that learning in school isn’t learning at all. You’ll have to explore the world of CS on your own, thus “spoon-feeding” is not an option for any CS student. Some argue to why teachers are just introducing topics and not tackle them very eagerly or should I say teachers are not doing their work. But I told myself, they’re wrong because students should not be dependent on their teachers as well as to other students. We should learn on our own and let ourselves explore the world of computers. (Hilas man paminawon pero tsada nang kita makaexplore kaysa i-introduce ra sa ato. dba?) I am posting this article not because I want all of you to be angry at me but because I want to help my fellow classmates or students to better understand this unexplored cyber-reality. In so doing this I am sharing some links on free e-books that you can use in your study. By the way. ” e-book (for electronic book: also eBook, ebook) is the digital media equivalent of a conventional printedbook. Such documents are either read on personal computers, or on dedicated hardware devices known as e-book devices or e-book readers”. – from wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book)

I just want to share this link I have found while I was searching the net for good e-book providers. Hope you’ll like it. [link to a list of free e-books]

“Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more user-friendly… Their best approach, so far, has been to take all the old brochures, and stamp the words, ‘user-friendly‘ on the cover.”
