How to customize facebook profile badge or like box background

October 28th, 2011

I found this trick from this web.

The idea is by wrapping facebook code with your own customized DIV, such as:

<div id=”likeboxwrap” style=”width: 298px; height: 393px; background: #FFFFCC; border: 1px dashed #FF3300; overflow: hidden;”>

put fb code here

</div>

or anything alike..

 

<div id=”likeboxwrap” style=”background: white; border: 1px solid black; overflow: hidden;”>

put fb code here

</div>

Rumah lelong – pengalaman sendiri

October 9th, 2011

Baru-baru ini saya berkesempatan untuk melalui pengalaman pertama membida untuk rumah lelong di Mahkamah Tinggi. Saya dapat peluang ini bila terjumpa satu iklan rumah murah di internet. Bila menghubungi pengiklan, saya dimaklumkan ianya adalah rumah lelong. Oleh kerana harganya agak menarik, saya berminat untuk membuat bidaan. Tapi saya sebenarnya tidak ada sebarang pengalaman berkenaan rumah lelong.

Saya ada buat carian di internet, ada juga mereka yang berkongsi pengalaman, sedikit sebanyak saya belajar dari pengalaman mereka. Tapi baca sahaja tidak mencukupi, perlu biat eksperimen sendiri baru dapat ‘feel’ nya.

Beberapa perkara yang saya buat sebelum memasuki bidaan:

1. Buat lawatan ke rumah berkenaan. Tengok keadaan rumah waktu siang dan malam, juga tinjau samada masih ada pemilik lama duduk di situ. Jika masih ada pemilik yang duduk, mungkin ada sedikit masalah kalau rumah itu dibeli. Nak minta orang pindah bukannya senang.

2. Buat semakan hakmilik dengan pejabat tanah.

3. Bersiap-sedia dengan cara pembayaran. Kalau nak beli cash, mudahlah. Duit sendiri. Kalau nak beli melalui bank loan, kena ambil kepastian dari bank dulu samada ada kelayakan atau tidak. Selain itu buat semakan dengan lebih dari 1 bank, sebab takut-takut loan ada masalah dengan bank pertama, boleh cari dengan bank kedua. Kalau nak buat bayaran melalui EPF, sila pastikan prosedurnya dipenuhi. Syarat wajib EPF, rumah itu perlu dibayar 20%, barulah yang selebihnya boleh di bayar oleh EPF. Perlu dapatkan pengesahan pembayaran 20% dari lawyer yang menguruskan rumah itu.

4. Sebelum tarikh lelong, pastikan 10% deposit dibuat menggunakan bank draft.

5. Pada hari lelongan, datang awal dan perlu daftar di kaunter Mahkamah Tinggi dan serah bank draft. Kemudian tunggu di luar bilik lelongan sehingga dijemput masuk.

Jangan terkejut jika dihampiri oleh pembida lain yang menawarkan untuk anda menarik diri dari bidaan dengan sejumlah bayaran, atau anda sendiri diminta sendiri untuk membayar mereka jika ingin membida dan tidak ‘diganggu’. Sebenarnya mereka cuba untuk nego supaya anda tidak masuk dan menaikkan harga. Ada juga yang saja-saja nak ambil kesempatan dan nak ‘pau’ pembida lain.

Terserah pada anda, jika rumah itu tidak penting sangat, mungkin dengan tawaran RM500 anda sudah boleh pulang dan tidak meneruskan bidaan. Dan jika rumah itu terlalu penting, mungkin mereka akan menekan supaya anda membayar supaya mereka tidak masuk membida.

Pada saya, saya tidak melayan negotiation seperti ini. Lawan bidding, tak perlu nego.

How to get anyone’s twitter ID and subscribe to the RSS

be sure to change the Twitter username accordingly (without the [ and ]).

When browser prompt for download, just open it with a notepad. You will see a bunch of text.

Beware with seller name “orlandosports” on ebay

September 26th, 2011

If you are searching for a seller name “orlandosports”, I hope you will find my review is useful to you. I’m writing this to warn potential buyers that this guys is not honest in the purchasing transactions. Do your best to avoid him/her, and try to look for some other alternative.

I bought a golf driver on 9th July 2011 which advertised as “ANTISLICE SQUARE OFFSET DRIVER GOLF CLUB + FREE HYBRID”. The item ID is 350475267149. It is also advertised as “NEW ANTISLICE SQUARE OFFSET HiMOI DRIVER GOLF CLUB HEAD”. I’m putting the product name so that anyone search for the product name might be getting this warning too.

About 2 weeks later, I got the item delivered to me. But how unfortunate, after a few rounds of driving range session, the driver head just broken. Looks like a quality issue.

So I sent a message to “orlandosports” asking for a replacement. I was requested to send the driver head back to USA. To do this, I need to pay the service charge for dismantling the driver head and also the courier charge to USA. Since Mr/Ms Orlandosports has agree to reimburse everything, I just did it without any hesitation. I sent it to:

o. sports
632 bellevue ave
clawson, mi 48017

The item was sent on 14 August 2011.

On 8th Sep 2011 I have the last communication with “orlandosports” which mention the replacement will reach me within 2-10 days, which suppose to be on 18th Sep and my messages later were not answered. Until this warning is written, I have not received any updates from “orlandosports”.

So I guess there goes my driver. I cannot write any bad feedback to the seller since the limit is only within 45 days which ended on 23 August 2011. The possibility is that, the seller just pretend to send a replacement but at the same time buying a time to avoid me giving him/her bad feedback.

Please be aware of this guy.

 

Buka Gold Investment Account di Public Bank

August 25th, 2011

Pertama kali saya menulis tentang BullionVault (sistem pelaburan emas online) adalah pada tahun 2008. Pada masa itu harga emas sekitar $28k/kg. Hari ini harganya telah jauh berubah iaitu $56k/kg. Double dalam masa 4 tahun.

Dalam tahun 2008, setahu saya bank-bank di Malaysia belum ada facility untuk melabur emas secara online. Kebetulan saya meninjau laman web Public Bank, hari ini mereka telahpun menawarkan facility ini.

Saya telah pun buka akaun dengan Public Bank GIA ini beberapa hari lepas. Bagi yang belum tahu;

1. Anda memerlukan savings account dari branch yang sama

2. Buka akaun minima 10g

3. RM10 stamping fee

4. Anda boleh link dengan savings untuk access secara online

Selamat mencuba.

Filesonic plugin for Rapidleech & Unrar

August 21st, 2011

If you are new to Rapidleech just like me, then getting things work error-free is quite a headache.

I signed up to the package offered by RapidleechHost.com where their ads saying the script support Filesonic, and I thought I will be using it hassle free. No, it was not. The first use, and I picked “use premium account” I got the error saying:

Error logging in – are your logins correct?

Okay, I was not sure what it was about. I sent a ticket to support, they replied saying they need more explanation. I did explain later, but I think I want to try to figure it out myself.

So here is the steps that I did and it end up with a success.

1. Download a fresh copy of Rapidleech here.

2. Create new folder and upload Rapidleech script into it. Such as http://yourname.rapidleechhost.com/myrapidleech. The first screen is configuration, just use the default and click save.

3. Then I checked on “List of Working Download Plugins“. Since I am working on Filesonic plugin, I did exactly what the first post said in this thread. That were:

a) Change rapidleech/configs/accounts.php

b) Update file DownloadClass.php

c) Update rapidleech/hosts/download/rapidleech_com.php

For (c), you need to again replace it with latest copy which can be found here.

4. Now the downloading from Filesonic is working, but you may not be able to UNRAR the files with the script, why? Just re-upload rar/unrar file using binary mode.

5. You might be getting the last error saying something about “secret key”, yeah… just make sure the file rapidleech/configs/accounts.php is not empty.

It is fixed, I get it up and running.

MS Access – Enter Parameter Value

February 25th, 2011

While exporting some queries in MS Access to Excel, I got this error on one of them.

For those who are having the same problem, please check the name of the tables, possibly it contains reserved words. In my case I got word “IN” as table name and that triggers error.

Kalau berkereta Gen2

February 8th, 2011

(Gambar hiasan)

Musim raya memanglah ramai orang akan ke sana dan ke sini, samada balik kampung atau bercuti bawa keluarga. Tak kira raya Melayu, Cina atau India.. meriahnya sangat terasa sebab alkmlumlah cuti yang panjang.

6 Feb 2011, saya dalam perjalanan di Jalan Jerangau-Jabor. Waktu lebih kurang pukul 8.xx malam. Begitu banyaknya kereta, berderet-deret, tapi mujurlah perjalanan tak terseka-sekat, cuma agak perlahan ditambah pula jalan yang tak berapa bagus (apa JKR Terengganu buat?), dan juga keadaan yang gelap.

Tiba-tiba saya hampir terlanggar sebuah Gen2 di hadapan. Rupanya ada eksiden antara lori dan kereta di depan sana.

Yang nak diceritakan adalah pasal Gen2 warna maroon ni. Lampu brek ketiga tak nyala, lampu brek sebelah kiri tak nyala, yang ada hanya sebelah kanan. Sudahlah lampu standardnya memang kecil, di modify nya pula lampu itu jadi lebih kecik dari biasa (mungkin pakai sticker atau macam mana, tapi nampak lampu itu lebih kecil). Bila driver tekan brek, tak berapa nak perasan sebab beza brek dengan tak breknya hanyalah ada glow merah yang lemah.

Saya terpaksa mengelak ke kiri jalan yang ditepinya ada longkang yang dalam. Nasib baik tiada apa-apa yang berlaku. Tetapi ada sedikit rasa terkejut sajalah.

Nak berlawa boleh, tapi tolonglah ada tanggungjawab kepada pengguna jalanraya yang lain.
