Redhatter’s Web Blog

I just had a rather amusing email… two in fact, come right out of the blue. Not from a relative or friend… but from a webapp.

A few years ago, I developed a very simple and crude webapp called LANPlanner. It was dodgy, it had lots of rough edges, it was coded in about 15 minutes flat in PHP and MySQL… I suspect there are probably some SQL injection bugs somewhere in it, as I was still quite a novice at that time.

Just a moment ago, I got the following email (names censored to protect the guilty)

Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 23:14:33 +1000
Subject: Daily Confirmation Status for event "Bradley Lan"
To: user@host.com.au
From: LanPlanner Service at localhost
Cc: XXXX@longlandclan.hopto.org (my email address)

Hi Some One,
This is the current RSVP status for "Bradley Lan".

-------------------- Confirmed as comming:

-------------------- Unconfirmed:

- Some One  is bringing 1 person/people.  (09:52 remaining to confirm)
- Some One  is bringing 1 person/people.  (09:59 remaining to confirm)

I’m amased there are people still using this webapp. E.T. phone home indeed.
