Re: [Skunkworks] Just a thought

Do you really want all that information about you to be accessible through one single number? At one point in the US most states would use your social security number as the number on your drivers license number, but they stopped doing that a few years back because anyone who got hold of your drivers license could get all kinds of access to your personal information. Even so a lot of government and private database are still built around the social security number and that causes all kinds of privacy problems, from confidentiality of medical records to identity theft. With the databases of major financial institutions and government agencies worldwide getting hacked on a regular basis I personally would prefer my data to be as decentralized as possible.

A quick question to web developers....
by aki 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

I've been looking at this scenario, as part of it falls into the KPLC monitoring project: Suppose I created a website and I'd like the end user to be able to create their own blank web which I can add further components, is this possible? I don''t want to use a CMS to do this because using a CMS takes me away from my framework and would really annoy me. I already knew basics of some platforms but ignored them for frameworks sake. It would be really dumb and stupid to find myself limited once again, as I did on the desktop and game programming last year. Assume this : I have a main page which is the default site. Any end user would like to add their own web page to my site. So the very basic website structure would be this : Main Page > main content Add New Page > for end users to add their own content. Once the end user creates the page, it will be automatically linked to the mainpage. so the main page link info would be this , e.g : www.nokplcpowerexample.whatever and the end user created page would be this , e.g www.nokplcpowerexamaple.whatever/centralarea and another end user created page would be this, e.g www.npkplcpowerexample.whatever/coastalarea Any suggestions? Rgds. :-)
