Have you read The Jungle Book when you are a child ? The Jungle Book is actually a collection of stories written by Rudyard Kipling and they were first published in 1893-4.  All the tales in the book are actually fables using animals to give moral lessons to the readers and each tale is always preceded by a piece of verse and succeeded by another.  One of the most popular is the story of  an abandoned ‘man cub’ Mowgli , who is raised by the wolves in the Jungle

By now you should know what the 2009 NDP theme song is? If you do not, you must have been in hiding. There is no escape, they play it in the malls, the parks, the radio and TV, so much so that I am no longer able to differentiate if the song is being played back subconsciously or on radio.

I recently stumbled upon a different version of this song. It is the national day song you didn’t get to see. By Mr. Brown and the band, electrician – Lekuasimi.

Recently we received feedback from our readers that the messages that we sent out from Facebook Groups has broken links.  So we decided to investigate this issue.

The Feedback:
We had a feedback from our readers that the message (like the  one below) that we sent out from Facebook group has broken links.  Looking at the attached screen shot, it can be easily identified that the highlighted URL is wrong and will never work in any browser.

The Issue:
The embedded link in the email sent via Facebook groups had and extra: “http://www.facebook.com/l/;”.  I am sure when Facebook implemented this, they thought that this is an intuitive feature. However it results in the “dead link” as shown.

The Rescue:
Now inorder to resolve this issue, remember to remove/exclude the “http://” when embedding a URL.

I really think that Facebook mechanism is in the case of being too smart. Anyone of you encountered this issue before?
