The lost civilization - Friendster

Internet Archaeologists Find Ruins Of 'Friendster' Civilization

This video reminds me of the news of MOL (a Malaysian Payment Company) purchasing Friendster that I heard when I went back Malaysia earlier this month. I wonder why MOL decided to acquire 100% of the "ancient" social network earlier this month when its obvious that everyone has shifted to Facebook.

Hope MOL have a really good plan for that, else will be just wasting money to try to prolong something on the verge of death.

How to Merge Photos in Photoshop

2009-12-24T14:55:00.003+08:00

I was so fascinated by the use of Mask+Smudge in Photoshop to merge photos. Before this, I've always use the manual way of slowly-trace-and-crop-out the section that I want to paste on to the other photo - which is very very painstaking. Using Smudge, merging photos is just brainless mouse clicking.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

First down

2009-11-28T23:50:00.004+08:00

Had my first paper when everyone else having their last paper around this time.

Ah, did badly for my Semicon paper. Just because of mistakes of substituting wrong value to the equation for the calculation part of 2 out of 3 questions, I wasted almost 45 minutes on struggling trying to figure out what when wrong for those calculation.

Feel that I always screw things up at the end... haih...

Two more papers to go. 1 more project report to rush (which is considered as the "final paper").

Officially into exam mode. I must not screw-up my CS3220! Did so well for Mid-term, Assignments, and Tutorial... If I get B again, then must be final... CANNOT CANNOT!!!

The other paper is PC3247... didn't expect much, just a pass and I will be very very satisfied.

Okay, time to rush my CS4273 report again. Hope I can get really good grade for this. Pass Assessments got "near top" marks... Must complete and perfect the last part - report!

"Enable" Blogger Flash links

2009-10-27T00:29:00.004+08:00

Was trying to solve the problem of links not working for flash in Blogger for the past few days.

Found the links that explain the security changes for Flash 8 and above.

In Flash Player 8, the default for an unspecified allowScriptAccess value remains "always" when the main SWF in Flash Player is version 7 or earlier, but changes to "sameDomain" when the main SWF is version 8 or later.

The allowScriptAccess parameter allows an HTML page to include Flash content but prevents it from executing scripts in the HTML page...

Technical details explained here http://tr.im/D79G.

SOLUTION

For <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">, change the "sameDomain" to "always".

done!

Google Chrome Lag Solved

2009-10-25T03:50:00.005+08:00

Found out the problem with the lag for Google Chrome.

Its described in Microsoft KB Article 929868.

To work around with this issue, you can change the Windows Scaling factor to 2. The following steps explains it.

Click Start and type CMD.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open the command Prompt with Administrative rights.
Type the following and press ENTER

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted

This will set the autotuninglevel to "Allow the receive window to grow beyond its default value, but do so very conservatively".

Reboot.
---
To restore, just type the following:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Reboot.
--
You can also disable autotuning with the following command:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel= disable

Reboot.
--

Note: This should solve other high-ping related network issue too :)

Change Firefox Address Bar Search Engine

2009-10-21T12:51:00.002+08:00

If you, like me, has been the victim of Yahoo Spyware aka Yahoo IM then you may notice that in the firefox location bar if you type in a keyword, it takes you to Yahoo preferences page. Previously it used to perform a Google "I'm Lucky" Search and take you to the first page of its search results automatically.

If you want to restore the Google "I'm Lucky" search then perform this simple steps:
1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter
2. Type keyword in Filter textbox and you will see only the preference keyword.URL.
3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to:
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=
or, if you don't wish to go to the first suggested link by Google
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&q=

That's all it takes to restore default keyword search functionality in Google.

Note: You can use this to change to any search engine for keyword search.
