Microsoft Windows Vienna

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Huh? Ano yan bagong OS nanaman? (Yan ang sasabihin ng mga wala pang alam tungkol sa Vienna). Hayyy, ano ba tong post na to, luma na, ngayon mo lang ba nalaman na may Windows Vienna na e rerelease sa 2009? Hayyy huli sa balita! Kawawang bata… (Eto naman ang sasabihin ng mga taong matataas ang pride at alam na nila ang tungkol sa Windows Vienna). Hmmm? Ano yan joke? Windows na Vienna? Vienna Sausage ba yan? (Eto naman ang sasabihin ng mga taong walang paki at walang alam tungkol sa mga Operating Systems na bago ngayon, at wala talagang alam kung anong ibig sabihin o ano ang isang OS).

Those are the 3 types of people in the world wide web base on my opinion. Wahehe… Okey, let’s go back to the main topic, what is Windows Vienna? Sa mga di pa nakaka alam. Nabasa ko lang po to sa pag sesearch ko tungkol sa mga OS, at eto po ay nakuha ko sa Wikipedia. Thank you so much for that free Encyclopedia, dati gagasto ka pa ng 20k-30k maka bili lang ng Encyclopedia, ngayon libre nalang, grabe talaga ang freebies sa Malawak na Mundong Sapot, or World Wide Web. wahehehe… Eto na ang Windows Vienna (copy pasted from wikipedia):

Windows “Vienna” (formerly known as Blackcomb) is a codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, that has been subject to major delays and rescheduling. Microsoft has announced it will be released in 2009, and according to “Smart Computing In Plain English”, a technology magazine, work on it began right after Windows Vista was released. As of February 2007, the name of the operating system used internally is undisclosed and is not used publicly by Microsoft, though “Windows 7″ has been noted in job postings as a working name for the project.
Microsoft has refrained from discussing the details about “Vienna” publicly as they focus on the release and marketing of
Windows Vista, though some early details of various core operating system features have emerged at developer conferences such as Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in 2006.

That’s all for now, for the sake sa mga wala pang ka muwang muwang tungkol sa Windows Vienna, atleast pag naligaw kayo sa blog na to may matutu tunan nanaman kayo na bago tungkol sa mga OS, astig diba??? :)

phpformgen problem with PHP5

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Okey, Please don’t ask why I am blogging about this. If you want to ask why, it is because I want to! Hehe. Maybe there’s another reason why? This one is a pretty old problem that I’ve encountered using PHP5, after migrating from PHP4. I just wanna right this stuff because somebody encountered the same problem as I did. So that I can help if someone who’s newbie in creating PHP form processors uses phpformgen from SourceForge.

Just lately, somebody PMd me at chatango, (that small live chat box at the sidebar of my blog). He asked about phpformgen problems in PHP5. Then I answered it, because “alam ko eh, hehe”. My answer was easy, just remove that global.inc.php includes thing in your process.php that was generated by the phpformgen. Then, delete the pt_registers and edit the posting functions from ‘POST’ to $_POST, that’s how easy it is. You can make your own form processor by just applying that simple function, you can send email information from form starting from a scratch. You can view my very very simple PHP form processor here, just one data to be sent to a form recipient, so that you’ll have a basic idea. (for those newbie who really doesn’t have the basic concept, but for pro-programmers, I’m sure you will laugh at this post, hehe).

I have a screenshot of my basic form processor with one data sent to the recipeint’s email below, if you have some problems regarding that processor, you can contact me by any means, hehehe, here’s the screeny:

CNAME settings for Google Apps Problem

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

If you are encountering the same problem as I do, then I can’t help you, because I’ve never ever resolved this problem. If you set your CNAME alias and point it to ghs.google.com, even if you’ll wait for one week for the domain to propagate, it won’t work! Wah! You’ll just waste time of waiting it to be live over the world wide web, it really don’t work! Same with my blogger account, you have an option to publish your posts in your custom domain, but it doesn’t really work at all. Or maybe, my settings are wrong, but I have verified it to GoDaddy that my Total DNS Control settings are right, maybe the problem is with Google’s side.

I have submitted a support request to Google but they don’t bother to reply at all. I think their very busy developing their new apps, and won’t waste time to entertain this newbie problem. I hope somebody made it work, and comment to this post, because I can’t, I really really can’t make it work.

It’s been a week of waiting for my CNAME alias to propagate, maybe a redirection or SSH settings would be better. What’s the catch? if I’ll use CNAME to provide custom URL, it will still redirect to mail.google.com, so why don’t use redirection with mask instead, diba?

UPDATE: Problem already solved. Just don’t forget to include the subdomain, like blog.yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com so that it will propagate.

What is Muni Muni?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Alam niyo ba kung anong ibig sabihin ng muni muni? Hmmm?? Sa mga di nakaka alam eto po ay pera. Ito ay nag originate sa isang arabo na naghahanap ng pera. Palagi niyang sinasabi na “Muni Muni, Muniiiiiii!!!” at pag naghanap siya ng pera, tinatanong nya “Where is my Muni?” Kaya yun. Yun na yun. Hahaha! Nakaka tawa diba? (kahit hindi naman) Tumawa na kayo, maawa naman kayo sa nagsulat neto, tawa na puhleease??????? Kahit konting smile lang… Pls pls pls>??? ay di man lang nag smile :(. Ayan.. nakangiti na ng konti.. konti pa… yan.. cge pa ngiti ka pa… Ayan! Hehe. Pwede na yan! Pagpasensyahan niyo na po ako, nabaliw kasi ako sa mga PHP functions at codes kaya di ko na maisip nag e popost ko. Tungkol sana sa PHP5 ang article ko ngayon, kaso naisipan ko munang mag muni muni, at bigyan eto ng kahulugan. Hehe

Another definition ng Muni Muni. Pag e search mo sa Google, using define: , ang pinaka unang lalabas na meaning ng muni ay: (”he who is silent”): a sage. Isang Sage! Silent pala ang Sage. Yun pala ang meaning ng Muni. Pag muni muni, A sage A sage, diba? Eto pa isang meaning ng Muni, pangalawa sa search results ng Google. Muni - short for Municipal Railway, the name of the public transportation busses, steetcars, cable cars. and subway trains in San Francisco. Municipal Railway din pala ang Muni, and so on… Pangatlo: Electric distribution system owned by a city to provide service for its residents. Refers to a municipality that has its own electrical generating and distribution systems and/or purchases electricity at wholesale from another electrical supplier. Yan yan ang iba’t ibang meaning ng Muni sa Muni Muni. Kaya kung nag mumuni muni ka, bahala ka. Kasi may karapatan kang mag muni muni or mag a sage a sage. Hehehe… Yun lang po. maraming salamat, sana may natutunan kayo sa mga very educational and useful article ko ngayong araw na to. At laging tandaan, lahat tayo ay may karapatang mag muni muni, kahit san ka man, kahit nasa sasakyan, nasa opisina, nasa sala, kainan, bundok, moon, araw, dagat, labanan, suntukan, takbuhan, at kahit saan, you have the right to Muni Muni! Yeah! (Another senseless post by Jehzlau Concepts, Copyright © 2007. Jehzlau Concepts. All Rights Reserved)

Now, I’m Beginning to Hate IE…

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Kainis talaga ng Internet Explorer, pero IE6 lang naman, mas ok parin pala FireFox, hehehe.. Basta may nakita akong bug sa Div Floats and Negative Margining, may mga text na hindi nababasa pag gumamit ka ng negative margin, sa IE6. Kasi nag rent me ng PC sa Netopia at yung PC na na rent ko ay makalumang IE6 browser ang gamit. Kaya nung pag check ko ng website ng A-Plus, current project ko ngayon for my client, naku po, ang gulo gulo. May mga pages na ok naman, pero maraming pages na hindi na align ang text at images, at yung iba nag overlap na yung image sa isang image, at may mga text na hindi mabasa.

Kaya I therefore conclude na Fire Fox is better the IE. Pero love ko parin IE syempre. Hehehe.. Pero if we look beyond, FF is far way more better than IE. Hayyy.. another Cross Browser Compatibility Issue nanaman for me. Pero I’m learning a lot, dapat e dump na mga lumang browsers, pero we can’t blame the major users, kasi ayon sa W3 Schools Web Stats, mas marami parin ang users ng IE6 sa buong mundo. Baka after 2-3 years mag upgrade na yung mga taong yun, mababawasan na ang problem ng CSS coders, hehe. Basta pag nag mamanual coding ka ng XHTML at CSS makikita mo talaga lahat ng browser bugs isa isa. As the day goes by, things get worst, naks.. mali mali mali.. w8 ganito pala, as the day goes by, I’m learning and learning, and having more knowledge about CBCI, or in short (Nabasa niyo na sa taas) Hehehe…

Experiences with FireFox Bugs in CSS

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Or is it IE’s? Others said it is IE’s bug. But I think it is Mozilla’s? Pero IE cguro talaga. Kasi ganito, FireFox ignores the image height and width as spacer. Pero sa IE, yung exceeding space ng background image mo, ay ginagawa nyang spacer. San nga ba ang tama dito? In making paragraph division tags din, sa FireFox ang float right ay hindi na na a-align sa background. But, in IE, it works fine. Na resolve ko to for both IE and FireFox, how? I didn’t use P DIV IDs for floating images to right, with image background. Ma e encounter mo lang to, pag yung div tag mo is within another div tag. Like placing a log with a gradient background that repeats horizontally. Para makagawa ka ng header in CSS Liquid Layouting Technique, also known as, resolution dependent layout.

Back to the first bug. Sa palagay ko sa IE to. IE should ignore exceeding image height as spacer, like FireFox does. Text spacing should use padding, tama ba CSS gurus? Kasi pag yung exceeding width ay height + padding ang base natin ng spacing ay magulo. Kaya, etong post ko ay mali ang title, dapat cguro IE bugs, nating FF. Hehehe.. Pero marami paring bugs na nakalimutan ko. Kaya napaka importante na alam natin ang cross-browser issues at W3C web standards para maiwasan ang mga CSS floating, spacing, padding, at iba pang bugs na makikita mo pag nag hahard code ka ng CSS. Hayyy.. kasakit talaga to ng ulo, CSS pa nga to. lalo na pag PHP part na yung gagawin ko. waaaaaaaaaa!!! Pero infairness, enjoy din mag code. Kasi masaya, kaya enjoy, at masaya, kasi enjoy. Toink? Gulo no? Ganito talaga ako mag post. pasensya na po :)

Want to Work at NASA?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

When I grow up, I want to be an Astronaut - A Kindergarten Student Stressed. Ikaw gusto mo bang maging Astronaut? or kahit anong work basta nasa NASA!? (redundant no? hehe, parang may pag nanasa, nasa nga eh, NASA ha, hindi nasa.)

Just wanna share yung mga na discover ko about working at NASA during my muni muni moments… Sa mga nakabasa na neto, at sa may mga alam na, huwag niyo nalang po basahin, pero sa mga interesado lang na maging astronaut! or maka work sa NASA kahit hindi Astronaut! Teka, baka may mga blog readers ako dito na hindi alam anong meaning ng NASA? NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. May nabasa lang me tungkol sa NASA employment. Eto na, copy paste ko nalang po ha:

NASA is more than astronauts. We are scientists, engineers, computer programmers, personnel specialists, accountants, writers, maintenance workers and many, many other kinds of people. At the NASAJobs Web site, you can review job listings, post a resume and even apply for a NASA job online.
At NASAJobs students can find opportunities for
internships, cooperative programs and summer employment.
For all the diversity of NASA’s workforce, the question, “How can I become an astronaut?” is very common. The answer depends on where you are now and where you want to go.
If you haven’t finished high school yet, former astronaut
Dr. Sally K. Ride has these suggestions for you:

“The most important steps that I followed were studying math and science in school. I was always interested in physics and astronomy and chemistry, and I continued to study those subjects through high school and college on into graduate school. That’s what prepared me for being an astronaut; it actually gave me the qualifications to be selected to be an astronaut. I think the advice that I would give to any kids who want to be astronauts is to make sure that they realize that NASA is looking for people with a whole variety of backgrounds: they are looking for medical doctors, microbiologists, geologists, physicists, electrical engineers. So find something that you really like and then pursue it as far as you can and NASA is apt to be interested in that profession.”
If you’ve graduated from college or are in the military, and you’re ready to apply, here’s how.

Paki basa nalang nyang nasa Here’s how. Share ko lang po, baka may gustong lumabas na sa Earth. Hehehe. Source ko po neto ay: http://www.nasa.gov That’s all folks! :)

iSEO on Google not well done

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

iSEO, Image Search Engine Optimization, ako lang may gawa nyan.. la kasi me maisip.. pangit din kasi SEiO, ehdi iSEO nalang. Sobrang galing mag optimize ng Google ng mga images, pati mga website na may pangalan ko lang, or na visit ko lang, or naiwanan ng pangalan sa shoutbox or comment box nila ay na optimize din gamit ang pangalan ko. For example search mo sa Google Images ang name ko, “Jehzeel”, or click HERE for the results. Lalabas yung face ko sa unang image results, pero yung iba hindi naman akin, mga website lang na na visit ko, bat kaya ganun? pati Search Results ng Jehzeel Laurente may nahalo ding ibang picture. Batet kaya? Di ko alam sobrang sensitive ng search engine nila, hehehe.. Pero astig parin kasi na optimize yung images ng site at blog ko. Weeeeeee!!! Sa search results din sa keyword na Laurente, nasa first page na ako. Dati nasa pinaka likod ako eh, kaya improving na ang search engine rankings ko ngayon. Sana patuloy na tong SEO career ko, pati PHP career, XHTML career, Graphic Designing Career, at lahat ng careers! ang saya talaga maging isang Newbie Web Developer, patuloy na naiimprove ko skills ko day by day. Dati WYSIWYG software lang gamit ko, ngayon pwede na notepad at ultraedit sa pagawa ng Cutting Edge web layouts at web scripts! Astig diba? Tiyaga lang ang puhunan… Pag may trabaho, pero pag walang trabaho, mahirap matuto sa internet cafe, kasi per hour ang bayad, mas maganda sa office. hehehehe… :). At pahabol din pala, tumaas na ranking ko sa keyword na “Laurente” for Google Search Results, I ranked 5th out of 80,600 search results for Laurente. Kaya ang saya ng SEO. Hay halo halo ang post ko, pasensya na po :)

Jehzlau’s Resize Index Javascipt

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Sa wakas, nakagawa na rin ako ng javascript for my site. Kasi kelangan ko mag iba yung design to fit in 800×600 screen resolution. Kaya gumawa me ng javascript function para mag load ng ibang CSS pag iba ang screen resolution. Pero actually di pa to perfect. Di ko alam paano e load yung CSS kaya buong index niload ko, tapos sa loob ng index na yun nalang nakalagay yung CSS. Sa CSS kasi lahat ng images ko kaya wala na problem sa pag resize. Kaya yun. Nag isip isip me paano ko gawin na ma view parin ng maganda sa 800×600 screen resolution. Ang base resolution ko kasi ay 1280×1024, and minimum resolution ay yung standard resolution na 1024×768.

Pero paano kung 800×600 na. Pangit din kasi kung mag base ka sa 800×600 unless liquid layout ang CSS mo, yung ma stretch siya. Maganda din naman yun, pero pag marami ka ng images, pwede mo din naman gamitin yung sa The Man in Blue na CSS dependent layout, cool to! check it out here, or yung sa A List Apart na technic nakalimutan ko na, yung pag e resize mo browser mo, mag ra wrap yung image at liliit din, I mean mag auto crop siya, pwede mo siyang ma view kahit sa anong resolution, kahit sa cellphone or sa PDA, astig diba?. update ko nalang tung post ko pag na alala ko. hehehe.

Pero, puro nalang ako pero. Gusto ko kasi gayahin yung sa yahoo.com. Try mo change ang resolution mo to 800×600, mag iiba yung page ng yahoo, mawawala yung scroll bar sa gilid ang lilipat na siya sa gitna. Tapos adjust mo ulit sa normal resolution mo na 1280 or 1024, mag iiba ulit yung page. Kaya yun ang gusto kong mangyari, ganda kasi. E sheshare ko lang yung javascript, alam ko makaluma na to na method, pero ok parin, pero hindi valid XHTML to ha, HTML 4.01 transitional lang siya, pero ok na rin, di naman to magiging index mo, ma reredirect ka sa ibang index na compatible sa resolution mo.

Okey, simulan ko na. Una gumawa ako ng function, nilagay ko nalang ay jehzlau, ehdi sa javascipt eto ang kalalabasan.

function jehzlau () {
//### Dito ang mga condition ng javascript }

Yan, tapos lagay mo sa loob yung condition mo sa function. First, dapat e define mo yung variable na gagamitin mo. So: var width tapos anong klaseng width, ehdi ganito na. var width = screen.width;

after nyan, ilalagay ko na yung condition ko na if screen with is lesser than this ganito ang mangyayari.

var width = screen.width;if (width<1024)location.replace('1/index.php');elselocation.replace('2/index.php');

yun nasa else, yun yung gagamitin mo na index pag ang resolution ay 1024 or higher than 1024. Tapos yung 1 at 2, yan yung folder na pinaglagyan ng image mo (for super duper newbie, hehe). Kaya pag ipag sama sama natin yung functions magiging ganito na:

function jehzlau(){ var width = screen.width;if (width<1024)location.replace('1/index.php');else style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);">then lagay mo sa baba yun name ng function, para sa body, kaya magiging ganito na siya:

function jehzlau(){ var width = screen.width;if (width<1024)location.replace('1/index.php');else style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Then, lagay mo sa body mo na. onLoad=”jehzlau();”, Para e execute niya yung function at e detect nya yung resolution mo, lalagyan ko pa to ng sample para makita niyo, para saka na kasi mahal na araw ngayon, at aalis na me, mag coclose na office eh. half day lang kami. Hehe… til next time. :)
P.S.: Don’t forget na ilagay mo sa loob ng script tags inside your header tags :), tapos kayo nalang mag indent ng script, sayang kasi space. For questions, leave me a comment. :) Post ko nalang example pag maka lugar next week, or baka bukas. hehe. At edit ko nalang to, magulo kasi, walang code tag dito sa blogger. Amf! huhu

Free Broadband Internet By Google!

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Sick of paying for broadband that you have to, well, pay for? Introducing Google TiSP (BETA), our new FREE in-home wireless broadband service. Sign up today and we’ll send you your TiSP self-installation kit, which includes setup guide, fiber-optic cable, spindle, wireless router and installation CD. Grabe! Muntik na akong maloko neto, buti nalang nag search2x muna ako tungkol sa TiSP na eto, wala namang ibig sabihin, nabasa ko tuloy sa TechCrunch na pang April Fool’s Day lang pala to. Sayang kala ko totoo na yung Free Broadband Internet na to. Hayyy…

I was almost fooled talaga, (fooled ka na talaga Jehzeel, ayaw mo lang aminin). Tingnan niyo, may diagram pa kung paano gumagana ang TiSP ng Google!











Pero, it’s really cool parin, kala ko totoo lahat sinasabi ng Google eh, naalala ko April Fool’s Day pala kahapon, ngayon ko lang din to nabasa, late ako ng isang araw! waaahh!! Pero astig talaga to, parang totoo. Matatawa ka lang kasi bakit sa Toilet pa ilalagay, ang weird talaga, pero mapapaniwala ka talaga pag nag google ka tapos kinlick mo yung link sa baba ng search engine nila. Hehehe.. Sa palagay ko, more than 75% ng mga Googlers ang napaniwala ng Joke na to. Nice one Google! Happy April Fool’s Day sa lahat! ;)
