beta testers needed for dodosmail 2.0

finally i got enough motivation to upgrade my mail script. i’ve always wanted to upgrade it since it’s quite behind in web tech.

right now i need some beta testers before I release the new version. your participation is appreciated.

what’s new in DodosMail 2.0?
DodosMail 2.0 is not compatible with the older versions of DodosMail, it’s meant for more advanced users. It requires basic understanding of PHP as you will be asked to include a header and a footer. If you are a PHP user, this script will become more useful and convenient for you. If you are not, please continue to use the earlier version because it’s more appropriate.

The new version is validated xhtml strict and css.

download
you may download the zip file here.

what should you test?
- try using different header and footer files
- try different email addresses
- try create multiple forms with the same script
- try use multiple copies of the script
- tell me if my readme file is clear with the instructions
- try see if the require fields are checked
- try if the email is checked if you set that option
- try editing the css file to make new definition for .DodosMailError and .DodosMailErrorHighLight
- check if the redirection works
- and anything else you can think of

Thank you! Please leave your feedback or suggestions as comments in this post.

current white house hires homosexual?

not just that, he may be a gay prostitute MEEP o.O

forward from a friend:

To summarize: An ultra-conservative Republican political advisor was granted press credentials in the White House press corps, despite working for a “news organization” that existed for only four days before those credentials were granted, and having been “educated” in a three-day, $50 journalism “school”. He remained in the press corps for well over a year, and could constantly be counted on by White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan - as well as Dubya himself - to provide a safe haven during press conferences. His “questions” to White House personnel were often inflammatory and misleading, like (I’m making this one up), “Scott, Democrats are evil. Why do they hate America?” Also, since this whole thing was uncovered (by liberal bloggers, not the inept media) in the past few weeks, it has come out that Guckert/Gannon (also known as “JimJeff”), for some inexplicable reason, was granted access to a classified CIA document containing information about an undercover operative, which was later leaked and led to that officer being exposed.

And now, to top it all off, there is convincing evidence that Guckert/Gannon spent much of his recent “career” - at least before, if not during, his White House press corps stint - as a gay prostitute. See here

So in other words…the White House hired a gay hooker with no press credentials to join the most elite press corps in the country, let him stay there for over a year spreading lies and propaganda, and somehow allowed him access to classified documents that could’ve resulted in the death of a CIA agent.

Three rhetorical questions here:

1. Why hasn’t this been on every news broadcast in the country for the last week?
2. If the Bushies are so radically against homosexuals, why are they hiring them to work in the White House?
3. What do you think would’ve happened if this exact same scenario had played out while Clinton was in office? (hint - think how much we heard about the Lewinski incident)

For a nice summary of these questions/thoughts, see this link

This situation should prove once and for all who has better control of the American media, and what kind of “moral values” this White House really has. That is all.
