Sheridan Street, now with moar Big Brother

Looks like Sheridan Street is getting a Big Brother treatment:




I presume they will be used to watch for heavy vehicles running up and down Sheridan Street, because even The Nanny State has said that CCTV for Crime prevention is useless.

Salesforce Merge Accounts URL Hacking

The Merge Accounts page is OK to use, however to start the process you have to search for the Accounts you want to merge, and to do that they have to have the same name. This is not always the case, and it can be annoying to have to rename an account, just so you can find it to merge it. The official SFDC selection screen also limits you to a max of 3 accounts. This isn't actually a hard limit... More of a guide, as you'll see below. Instead of this, you can actually hack the URL to include the IDs of any accounts, regardless of Account Name similarity. This is especially useful if you are using your own code to manage merges and would like to "deep link" into the SFDC platform. Here's an example URL: https://emea.salesforce.com/merge/accmergewizard.jsp?goNext=+Next+&cid=001200000012345&cid=001200000012346&cid=001200000012347&cid=001200000012348 It can be broken down into 3 main segments: The Merge Accounts page URL: https://emea.sale...

Don't look up!

Don't look up people. The Feces is about to hit the rotating ceiling appliance. (for those of you requiring monosyllabic prose, this means the shit is about to hit the fan) It would appear that the almighty ACMA ( Australian Censorship Management Authority ) blacklist of websites has been leaked online. It had to happen, and it is better it happens now. The saviour of free speech , WikiLeaks (Not to be confused with Wikipedia), has posted it online. Interestingly, I cannot access WikiLeaks at the moment, this could be due to a crap internet connection, or perhaps it is a little more clandestine than that (do I hear black helicopters?). According to the Sydney Morning Herald , who have apparently seen the list, the below are some of the more interesting things on the blacklist: A Queensland dentist (Not illegal) A tour operator (Not illegal) Several Christian sites (Not illegal) Fetish sites (Not illegal) Fringe religion sites, such as satanism (Not illegal) Euthanasia how-to sites...
