Indus-pharma.com just happens to be the website of one of Sanofi's more performance-minded labs in Pakistan, right across the Jaam Sadiq Ali bridge in Karachi. They gots all sorts of trophies and whatnot.
Apparently they also gots an inept kid by the name Mohammad Azhar, who doesn't seem to think he's being paid enough to do poor quality web management for these people - what with their thoroughly broken wordpress installi masquerading as a websiteii - or whatever he does there.
So, Mr. Khalid Saeed, if you don't mind my suggestion : give the guy a raise! That way maybe he won't be forced by the vicissitudes of fate and the hollow presentation of the pumpkin he carries upon his shoulders to try his hand at spamming, Internet fraud and all the rest of the modern petty crimeiii toolbox ? Who knows, worth a shot, no ?
———- Speaking of which [↩]
- Speaking of which, can I interest you folks in a brand new favicon ? Cheap! [↩]
- Greenspun made the excellent observation that
A lot more men than women choose to do seemingly irrational things such as become petty criminals, fly homebuilt helicopters, play video games, and keep tropical fish as pets (98 percent of the attendees at the American Cichlid Association convention that I last attended were male). Should we be surprised that it is mostly men who spend 10 years banging their heads against an equation-filled blackboard in hopes of landing a $35,000/year post-doc job?
I stand behind this notion. You have to be an idiot to the degree only a (young) male can achieve to actually imagine this sort of crap (or that sort of crap) is a good use of your time and energy. [↩]

Trophy 503!
The owner of this website (indus-pharma.com) does not allow hotlinking to that resource (/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/41.png)
Sunday, 23 November 2014
Hm, I see it. Would it be perhaps because you send referrer headers with your request ?
Sunday, 23 November 2014
Apparently.

Low-tech hotlinking workaround, possibly not worth the trouble.
Navigate to http://indus-pharma.com and then from the same page change the url to http://indus-pharma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/41.png

Yeah pretty much.
