Paypal new TOS

Posted by coldtobi | 30 Apr, 2009, 23:27

I just got a mail from paypal, that they are changing their AGB (German for Terms of Serivce) According the mail, the new version is effective from June 2nd.

Mostly, they correct spelling and grammar, but one thing is interesting: The strike the wording, that the ebay buyers protection is an "free, compliementary service".Reads for me, as there are plans for charging for this service.. We'll see.

(Addionally, make sure you buy on your local ebay site -- they limit the proctection for example to ebay.de --)

Changes of the AGB outlined:

php based home inventory system

Posted by coldtobi | 19 Apr, 2009, 21:07

I'm currently looking for a system for keeping an overview over my electronic parts I have "on stock", storing the datasheets and keeping and especially where I put them.

During this I found "home-inventory". Looks ok, but also lacks some features, like it can only store images...

PS: I have to rethink about the "looks ok". The first peek on the source code reveals, that the author did not care about sanitizing user input:

                // delete first picture if exist
                $sSql = 'SELECT ITM_Picture FROM Item WHERE ITM_ID = ' . $_REQUEST['id'];
                $pictName = fetchFromDb($sSql, true);

Aarrghh.
