My Latest Girlfriend ((vibe))

authored on Wednesday, September 24th 2008

Computers these days are so affordable. For just a little over RM3K, I got one that can last me for the next five years!

Nicknamed ((vibe)), she’s got an tough yet elegant body.

My previous PC was a Pentium 4. at least 5 years old. Wondered why I’ve waited so long to buy this one. At last I’m glad I did!

Money wasn’t spared for topping it’s perfromance. This big fan sits on top of the processor. If only it admits a kewl light and a whistle….

One other thing that fasinated me was the size of the mother board.

Or at least it’s box.

Bottom left of the box is a DVD just to show you the size of the box in prespective.

In comparison to the CDROM box, you can imagine how many things I’ve to toll around Low Yat. Bleh

Before it all ends, our stomach comes first before gaming…. yet gaming can make one forget about food and baths, day and night…. even work.

Let the Crysis begin!

Programming Till The Cows Come Home

authored on Thursday, July 10th 2008

Oh wow, it has been a while since I blogged. I was just rumbling through my todo list and see what I can scratch off…

“Modify and globalize addlink

How interesting. You see, addlink is a program where you can add a link from your site to mine by adding mine to yours. That way your friends are mine as well mine yours.

The problem came about when I’ve to install this script onto each and every domain seperately. Plus, having to create database, user name and password, and numerous other things to get it all up and running.

2 years ago I had this script installed onto 5 of my sites. Things got hot! There’re people who actually found my page and started linking to me!

That totally excites me until I found gambling links, casino links, sex links… even rolex replicas!

So guess what? I’ve to login to each of the 5 sites, manually search and delete the links. Plus these buggers post multiple times! Esspecially the rolex idiot. 6 times!

Ahhhhhh, but it’s all different now. I came back with knowledge on PHP and MySql. What’s better, I learnt how to use classes!

It took me two days to modify the script (amidst yam cha and dota), and now it’s Super Addlink where you can post a link in any of my domain and I’ll know exactly what you post, when you post it, where you post it, if you are still linking back… all from just one interface!

Just one click on my cron job and fuhyoh! I’ll breeze through all the links making sure YOU are linking back or else….

Oh yea, and if someone puts a rel=’nofollow’ tag on my link. Good bye to them too.

Considering the power of it, two days is a small price to pay!

Next step is to make sure that the domain they want me to link to, must be indexed by Google.

If I can modify this product completely, I can call this my very own and $ell!

Wonder if there’s anyone interested in it. Hehe.

Migration was a success!

authored on Monday, February 25th 2008

NO! NO! NO!

I’m not migrating to another country. Hah, most would think so when election’s near. But heyz, I ain’t rich enuf to move.

So what was the success?

YES! YES! YES!

Happy is he who managed to migrate his first MySQL database over to another server without a glitch (I hope).

You see, i was helping someone to setup a website, and I was using a subdomain under one of my sites.

A domain looks like this:

http://tomagogame.com

A subdomain looks like this :

http://subdomain.tomagogame.com

So you blogspot bloggers, you are just a subdomain. It’s free to setup.

So back to my story, they wanna move out on their own de, so I’ve to migrate them outta my server into their own. But what happens to the work already done before migration?

It ain’t as easy as copy and paste.  Almost, but not quite.

Anyways…

Yea, I “copied” and “pasted” and it’s working smoothly.

Thanks to the MySQL guys who made it alllllll so easy to import and export!

I Know What You Clicked Last Summer

authored on Saturday, January 26th 2008

programming is so fun!

Simply by creating a new table, I can now track which link of the Sith or clicks on my website, how long it took him to click that link would tell me if he or she read my article.

This tracking software was created the by me and I am a little proud of it. That is because Google Analytics exists. no matter, as long as he does goes into my database, I can make it customized to what I want to see.

Imagine the placement of your links are so important if you get the right information on which most of your users click on, then you can track what is working and what is not. Should you color your links a different color? should you put your links a little higher?so on and so forth.

It is a little tedious, however like Robert Kyosaki said do more work to do less work. Oxymoron yet true :-)

The Beginning of a Search Algorithm

authored on Friday, January 25th 2008

Building a website is easy!

When you have a database full of articles, posts, and reviews… you will want your users and visitors to search your site instead of finding more information by clicking around.  adding a search box is easy, however producing results from your database is a little tougher.

How to build a mini Google search engine

Here is a simple database structure: ID, title, article

let’s say our precious visitors search for “attracting beautiful women”.

we will have to run multiple queries.

The first query is to search all three words in this same order on the title,

then from the article,

then break up the search to and find in title that contains all keywords in any order,

then break up the search term again find in the article that contains all the keywords in any order.

If the above a few queries does not produce a result, then break up the keywords such to begin and as long as the title contains any one of those keywords or the article that contains any one of those keywords… those should produce results.

What if the user types “sdljklodsfeowirdfkljkldfs dsfkl;dfsldsfpioewfjkfdskfjlsdfkljdsfjkl “?

I can’t even begin to pronounce the word!  But if my algorithm doesn’t produce a result, throw in some advertisements!

be kind to your visitors, baby gift and the gift and send them on their way home :-)

My Sheeps Are BACK!

authored on Wednesday, December 12th 2007

For over 2 months ago, my best computer was running smoothly where multiple heavy processing softwares can run simultaneously without a hitch until I found out that my RAM burned internally.

Thank GOD I work in a computer company that can send it back for its lifetime warranty claim for free! How nice, that saved me RM50.

So for over 2 months, I’ve gotta disable all my programs from starting up at startup to reduce the usage on RAM. Imagine playing DOTA on a 387MB RAM on XP.

Man, running dreamwaver is already a drag, imagine photoshape. Swt.

But now my “Big Sheep” is back. Tada! 1GIG of RAM! Plus the existing ones, I’ll get nearly 1.5GIG of RAM!

Ah, life is good once again.

Placing Your Faith in the Garbage Man

authored on Friday, November 2nd 2007

Not many people give thoughts to the garbage man, much less being one themselves.

Everyday we throw garbage out, it seems like it’s the end of the garbage’s journey.

It becomes a routine.

And thus, everything seems okay fine lovey dovey peaceful and beautiful until one day….

You can’t login to your blog.

You can’t access your emails.

You don’t even know why you have phone calls made to Africa.

You find your bank account empty.

You don’t own your house anymore.

You lost your social identity.

You are now a nobody.

Do you feel a little panic? scared? petrified? faint?

How about horror? terrified? an inch away from death?

Maybe the above is too extreme, but it’s not unreal and believe it or not, all of it originates from your arrogance.

When you get your new email account, where do you write your password?

When you sign up for blogspot, where did you store your secured passcard?

hmmmm….

Soooooooo, when did it all  start?

By throwing your password into the garbage bin “trusting” that the garbage will “dispose” of that “garbage” as in the perfect world should be.  Oh, such faith you have in the garbage man.

Read the quotes in the sentence above and replace them with “spoon-feed”, “savage”, “treasure” and you’ll get the idea.

Now I’m thinking twice for my profession. If I only I own the dumpster…. anyways, the lesson is,

leave your username and password in the comment box below.

Thanks ;)
