Automobile Internship – 04/04/2013

Today was a mild day at work. Thursday being a half day, I got off early at around 1.oo pm. However, today marked a landmark in my internship experience. It was the first time that I was allowed to do unsupervised work.

A Peugeot 206 required an AC repair and this called for the dashboard to be removed from the car. Fresh from my experience of opening the dashboard of another 206 yesterday, I volunteered to do the job. Sure, I exceeded the 40 minute time limit allowed for preliminary repairs, but I was allowed to go on since it was my first solo experience. I really enjoyed doing it and I leave you now with some pictures from the job.

Friday is an off day for work so I will see you all on Saturday!

What Next For Anonymous?

Anonymous, the world famous group of loosely linked hacktivists around the world, is now asking Twitter users via one of its several accounts as to which sites it should hack. After the shutdown of the FBI, DOJ, Universal Music, The American Nazi Party and several other websites, the group is now looking for suggestions from the public. It is reported that it may even look to hack Facebook, Twitter or Youtube, despite the fact that it communicates to the world through these 3 sites.
After the shutdown of Megaupload, a new wave of hacking has begun, for the good of people, in which the so called ‘hacktivists’ hack websites of organisations that they think are doing injustice with the people of the world.
Many affiliate groups of Anonymous have also sprung up, such as SolSec, which recently hacked the Russian official website http://www.russia.org.sg and the website of the Russian Embassy in India.
With also this action, one can only look forward to a global cyber revolution in the near future, the wheels of which have already been set in motion by Anonymous.
