“I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else...”

Maman wrote, "refering to a problem which a silly type of virus which keep users from using Firefox and pop out a message - I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else... isn't a good example as a virus developer. The irresponsible person crafted the virus to attack opensource/free software users. I just can say that the person behind this are coward. Thank you.

Here is the solution:

1. Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.
2. Go to the Process Tab.
3. End task with the name svchost.exe which run ONLY under your username.
4. Type c:\heap41a in your address bar of your file explorer. This is the only way to open this folder. It won't be visible by just browsing My Computer.

You have done it! Give a smile :-) and you can use your Firefox again.

Backup Your Yahoo Messenger ID Contact Before Worst Thing Happen

I and my friends had a conversation last night about hijacked Yahoo! ID and we agreed on what the saddest thing about it - lost of ID contacts. So this morning I figured it out how to backup YM contacts by exporting them from Yahoo! mail.

Login to your Yahoo! mail and go to Addresses tab at the top. Then click Import/Export link which is located on the right between Sync and Options button. Scroll down to Export section and click Yahoo! CSV: Export Now. You will automatically download a dot csv file. To check the content, use Microsoft Excel to open it.

Additional steps on securing your Yahoo ID: Take your security question seriously, use symbol combination in your password, and avoid entering password on accepted/received URL.

Updated august 11 2008:
Import/export feature is now under Contacts.

Crazy Japanese Vending Machine

PhotoMann has a large 'collection' of images of unique vending machines found around Japan. Over 50 of them can be seen here. The machines are everywhere. Estimates suggest there are 5.6 million vending machines which works out to be one for every 20 people in Japan. Sales from vending machines in 2000 totaled $56 billion!



There are many purposes from selling eggs and umbrellas to charging your handphones.

Thing About Email : Cc and Bcc

They are carbon copy and blind carbon copy. The recipient and anyone specified in those two(Cc & Bcc) will accept the email. The different is, everyone who accept the email, will only see email addresses in Cc but not addresses in Bcc. Bcc hides them.

I'm surprised too =) Thanks Lotso.

Machines Opening

Today, Machines(KLCC) had their official opening and there were 50 units of iPod Shuffle sold with 50% off. I thought I would be one of the first ten person, but i was totally wrong. It was 8.30am and there were about 20-30 people already standing in front of the closed store. Some of them I heard came at 7. Feh! Met a few person who aren't so familiar with Apple, but have the desire to have one product. Been asked a no-brainer question also(silly but funny).

And I also met this Machines guy from the Mid Valley Machines store and we(with kevler) talked about few cool things. There were drinks and pastries and not to forget, the new iMac which didn't really caught my attention. What so sad is, no iPhone preview and they announced the cancellation last minute. Anyway, Machines did a good job and thanks for paying 200 for my 1st mp3 player. Erm..I dislike Apple earphone. I prefer my sennheiser =p

Yeah, I've heard this somewhere, Azul bought an iPhone from San Francisco and manage to unlock and use it here in Malaysia. Well, I'm looking forward to Azul at the next MyMug meetup =p

Some maths here. The price tag says rm.349. But in US they sell for usd.79 which is rm.277 here. WTF! Anyway they sold to us for rm.147 which is pretty cool.

Download Youtube Video

THIS TWO SITES ARE COOL! You give them youtube URL, and they will convert the video to some popular format such as .AVI .MOV .MP4 .3GP and even MP3. Later you'll be shown a download link where you can save the requested video to your computer. Now I don't have to extract the .FLV and hog my cpu to encode them to other format.

Internet Connection Sharing on Mac OS X

Windows ICS is painful. Unlike Mac OS X which involve only three steps in System Preferences. Sharing > Internet Tab > Start. Now everybody in my house can surf!



Like what you see here I've set up a sharing preferences where other computers are able to connect to my laptop using wireless connection and share my internet access which I've connected to using bluetooth through my handphone.

Mac OS X + Motorola RAZR V3X + 3G Internet

Surfing with Windows on my mom's laptop is hardly enjoyable since I'm a Mac user. But we use 3G connection on a her Motorola RAZR V3X. On Windows, the setup is pretty straight. Not for Windows.

1. Download the Motorola GPRS Modem scripts from here.
2. Unzip the scripts, and copy the "Motorola GPRS CID1" script file to the "/Library/Modem Scripts" folder.
3. Set up Bluetooth. System Preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure that "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar is checked".
4. Turn on your Motorola, and make sure that Bluetooth is on and discoverable (Connections > Bluetooth > Find Me).
5. On your Mac, in the Bluetooth settings (System Preferences > Bluetooth) select the Devices tab, and then press the "Setup new device" button. You can also select this item from the Bluetooth icon on your task bar.
6. Follow the instructions and pair the Motorola with your Mac.
7. In step 4 of 5 of the pairing process, make sure to check the "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" checkbox, and select the "Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)" Radio Button. Select continue.
8. In the next screen, leave the username and password blank. For the GRPS CID String enter *99#, and for Modem Script, select "Motorola GPRS CID1". Click continue. Then click Quit.
9. Open Network Preferences (System Preferences > Network), highlight USB Bluetooth Modem Adaptor, and click configure.
10. Don't change TCP/IP settings. Switch to the PPP tab. Leave everything blank, except the Telephone Number which should be *99#.
11. Click the PPP Options button, and make sure that "Send PPP echo packets" is unchecked. This is very important. If you don't do this step, the connection will disconnect after a few seconds. Click OK.
12. Switch to the Bluetooth Tab, and make sure the correct Modem Script is selected, and everything is checked except for "Wait for dial tone before dialing".
13. Switch back to the PPP Tab and click the "Dial Now..." button. Set configuration to "Other" and leave everything blank. Press the "Connect" button. After a second or two a terminal window will come up, just hit the continue button.
14. You should now be connected. Open a browser and browse to a web page to make sure you are connected.

Firefox Lightning Fast Tips

Type "maybank" in address text field and press enter to go to Maybank2u website. Instead of maybank2u.com or full www.maybank2u.com.my. Firefox will use the top result from Google by the word you typed. And now you can just type hotmail or utusan only and save seconds.

"Bergunung mana pun harta, bukanlah kaya namanya, jika miskin budi bahasa..Segagah mana pun diri, bukanlah namanya pahlawan, jika nafsu tidak dapat di lawan..Secantik mana pun rupa nan ayu, bukanlah namanya ratu, jika buruk tingkahlaku..Setinggi mana pun darjatnya, bukanlah namanya mulia, jika tiada iman di dada..Melangit mana pun ilmu, bukanlah namanya bijaksana, jika tidak diamal & diguna..Sealim mana pun warak, bukanlah namanya ulama', jika takbur & riak.."

Last night movie made me think of something.

There are still, some of us (i can say a few) work hard for reasons like these: Maybe you want to prove something to some people. Maybe because you do not want some people to think you're wasting their time (or money). Maybe because you are trying to impress some people. Maybe you want to win somebody's heart. Or sadly...maybe you just being told to.

....do it for yourself. you should try it sometime.

24:2 Surah Cahaya

"(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah and the last day."

"Perempuan yang berzina dan lelaki yang berzina, hendaklah kamu sebat tiap-tiap seorang dari keduanya seratus kali sebat dan janganlah kamu dipengaruhi oleh perasaan belas kasihan terhadap keduanya dalam menjalankan hukum agama Allah, jika benar kamu beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat dan hendaklah disaksikan hukuman seksa yang dikenakan kepada mereka itu oleh sekumpulan dari orang-orang yang beriman."

Loving Diversity

Yeah, I've been thinking about this once in a while. There are times we fight. There are times we hate each other. There are many reasons. But I found out, there's only one reason that really fit. Diversity. We live in a world with variety of people and different opinion. That is why we quarrel, argue and disagree.

Try to embrace diversities. Love the differences. The world isn't a plain and boring place.

Laa. Ye ke?

"Ramai tidak tahu bahawa pusat ini adalah satu-satunya kawasan yang mempunyai mata wang sendiri pada sekitar 1930-an setelah wujud kebimbangan orang ramai bahawa akan berlaku jangkitan akibat sentuhan penghidap kusta,” ujarnya.

Nuri Fakapster

Bila dah ada orang mati, baru nak fikir ganti helikopter baru la, pasang beacon pada semua pesawat la, bla bla... Rasanya memang besar pengorbanan juruterbang yang terkorban. Hanya cara tu kot untuk memaksa kerajaan menukar helikopter baru atau mengambil langkah keselamatan.

Tapi kalau orang mati juga walaupun dah diambil langkah awal, boleh kot dimaafkan. Kalau terjadi pun (ajal di tangan Tuhan), kerajaan tetap akan ambil langkah terbaru juga untuk meningkatkan lagi itu dan ini. Tindakbalas kerajaan terhadap isu semasa adalah penting. Hanya penting untuk menunjukkan kepada rakyat, mereka mengambil berat tentang undian anda, bukan keselamatan juruterbang.

Jangan marah, kritikan itu penting. Tapi kalau saya kerajaan pun, saya faham. Ingat nak jaga isu pesawat je ke? Ingat senang ke nak jaga negara? Bukan nak ambil berat undian. Kita ikhlas buat kerja ni. Macam ni lah manusia, bila ikhlas mula la nak pandang serong.

Tapi ada je lakonan ikhlas, hati manusia Allah je yang tahu. Ingat! Padang mahsyar tu sebenar-benarnya ADA, di mana segala perbuatan mu dipertontonkan.

ps: ingat ni pasal nuri je ke, ni pasal orang kita la... jangan pening, ini lah fakapster.

Dari Rasa Malas ke Rasa Semangat

I laid down on bed, felt lazy to go to work that night, motivating myself, and all of sudden, Ja called, and we chatted for a while, and later I felt energetic and eager to work =) Thanks for all the concerns.
