How to fix tiny slideshow clickable in ie

noreply@blogger.com (kenmax) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 09:19:00 +0000

Ah that's the problem, I see. That doesn't work here either, but I can tell you why and how to fix it: For some reason IE won't fire onmouseovers on empty divs, unless the mouse is moved over a visible border. You can solve your problem by simply putting a transparent image in the background.

Create a 1×1 pixel transparent .gif (I'll call it 'blank.gif'), put it where your .css is, change the lines

#imglink {position:absolute; height:306px; width:100%;
z-index:100; opacity:.4;filter:alpha(opacity=40)}
.linkhover {background:url(images/link.gif)
center center no-repeat}

to:

#imglink {background:url(blank.gif) repeat;
position:absolute;height:306px; width:100%;
z-index:100; opacity:.4;filter:alpha(opacity=40)}
.linkhover {background:url(images/link.gif)
center center no-repeat !important}

How to send parameter into include in PHP

noreply@blogger.com (kenmax) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 09:15:00 +0000

This will not workinclude('communities.php?show=gated&where=naples');
?>

However this will$_GET = array();
$_GET['show'] = 'gated';
$_GET['where'] = 'naples';
include('communities.php');
?>

Putting this on your page and nothing else will give the same result as
going to 'communities.php?show=gated&where=naples' but the URL can be
whatever you want it to be.

Protect against Conficker

noreply@blogger.com (kenmax) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:59:00 +0000

Businesses worldwide are under attack from a highly infectious computer worm that has infected almost 9 million PCs, according to antivirus company F-Secure.

That number has more than tripled over the last four days alone, says F-Secure, leaping from 2.4 million to 8.9 million infected PCs. Once a machine is infected, the worm can download and install additional malware from attacker-controlled Web sites, according to the company. Since that could mean anything from a password stealer to remote control software, a Conflicker-infected PC is essentially under the complete control of the attackers.

According to the Internet Storm Center, which tracks virus infections and Internet attacks, Conficker can spread in three ways.

First, it attacks a vulnerability in the Microsoft Server service. Computers without the October patch can be remotely attacked and taken over

Second, Conficker can attempt to guess or 'brute force' Administrator passwords used by local networks and spread through network shares.

And third, the worm infects removable devices and network shares with an autorun file that executes as soon as a USB drive or other infected device is connected to a victim PC.

Conficker and other worms are typically of most concern to businesses that don't regularly update the desktops and servers in their networks. Once one computer in a network is infected, it often has ready access to other vulnerable computers in that network and can spread rapidly.

Home computers, on the other hand, are usually protected by a firewall and are less at risk. However, a home network can suffer as well. For example, a laptop might pick up the worm from a company network and launch attacks at home

The most critical and obvious protection is to make sure the Microsoft patch is applied. Network administrators can also use a blocklist provided by F-Secure to try and stop the worm's attempts to connect to Web sites

And finally, you can disable Autorun so that a PC won't suffer automatic attack from an infected USB drive or other removable media when it's connected.

If you got infected by this worm feel free to download this conficker removal tool

How To use :
1. Login as Administrator
2. Disable all the currently active Antivirus
3. Disable all the Lan connection or internet
4. Scan with PCMAV Express
5. After it kill the virus, update your windows
6. For security reason, change your windows password. Try strength password and not easy to guess

USB vs Firewire vs Ethernet : Who wins the race ?

noreply@blogger.com (kenmax) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 03:01:00 +0000

You may be wondering which external hard drive is the right interface for you, USB, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, eSATA or Ethernet?

I am going to give you a real basic understanding of the different uses for each interface and we're sure you'll know which is right for you when we're done.

USB 2.0

USB 2.0 is the most widely used interface in the world and works well for the average consumer and even the avid digital collector. USB 2.0 offers relatively fast transfer rates (maximum rate is 480 Mb/s), especially when compared to USB 2.0's distant cousin USB 1.1. USB 2.0 is widely available on desktop, laptop computers and even high-end servers. For most computer users USB 2.0 is the connection of choice for broad compatibility and ease of use. Remember, USB 2.0 is "backwards compatible" to USB 1.1, but your transfer rates will be much slower.

FireWire 400

Also known as IEEE 1394a, FireWire 400 is the friendly arch nemesis of USB 2.0. FireWire 400 (maximum rate is 400 Mb/s) is beneficial for what we call "daisy chaining" external devices. The transfer rate is nearly identical to USB 2.0, but the ability to daisy chain over longer length of cable sets it apart to some extent. FireWire 400 was made popular when Apple started shipping it standard and it has been a choice connection method for Apple users, Video and Audio professionals throughout the years.

FireWire 800

Also known as IEEE 1394b, FireWire 800 is the higher performance version of the FireWire family. The connection is different than a FireWire 400 connection so make sure you have the proper connections on your computer before jumping into a FireWire 800 solution. Going forward more and more systems will have this as standard so buying a solution with this as an option is a good idea. Your transfer rates will double using FW800. You will also have the ability to transfer multiple streams of data over long distances of cable and daisy chain certain devices. FireWire 800 is an excellent option for anyone transferring large amounts of data, such as Audio and Video professionals.

eSATA

The eSATA connection is new and exciting as of the publishing of this article and as we continue to move forward I think we'll be seeing much more of this connection. eSATA is NOT the same connection as an internal SATA cable. You will need a converter or PCI card to enable the use of eSATA on your system, unless it has one built in already. eSATA offers unbelievable transfer speeds (maximum rate 3 Gb/s). Using the eSATA connection is much like plugging directly into your internal hard drive. Check compatibility, but if you are looking for top performance and the latest technology be sure to check into an eSATA solution.

Ethernet

Ethernet or Cat5/Cat6 is a standard method of connecting to a network. All of us plug our computers into our router or model using an Ethernet cable. In a similar fashion an Ethernet enabled external storage device plugs into a router using an Ethernet cable. Gigabit Ethernet (maximum 1000 Mb/s) allows you to transfer data extremely fast if you have a Gigabit capable network. Otherwise you will be forced to use whatever standard your network is running on, be it 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s. Either way, this is an excellent way to add NAS (Network Attached Storage) to your home or business infrastructure. You will plug your Ethernet NAS external storage device into your router and access it like a mini storage server. Keep all your music and data in one place and play it from any connected computer system on the network.

so who win the race??
Gigabit ethernet is the fastest. Firewire 800 comes second. Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 is not much different...

Blogumus : How to Install and Fix the problem

noreply@blogger.com (kenmax) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:46:00 +0000

If you see my labels in the right sidebar.. That's what's called Blogumus tag Cloud. Originally it was made by amanda from bloggerbuster.com. And now I'll tell you how to install it and how to fix any problem.

You can copy paste the code as it is, or change the code before pasting into your blog HTML as per your requirements.
By default the flash widget will be in white background, with gray labels/text, and of dimensions 240x300. And all these can be changed so as to suit your blog's layout and colors.

To start with:
Go to the LAYOUT section, and click on EDIT HTML.
Now find this line/code:

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>

And immediately after this code line, paste these code lines(in new line):

<em><b:widget id='Label99' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src='http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='flashcontent'>Blogumulus by <a href='http://www.roytanck.com/'>Roy Tanck</a> and <a href='http://www.bloggerbuster.com'>Amanda Fazani</a> via <a href='http://bloggerstop.net/2008/09/blogger-help.html'>BloggerStop.Net</a></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
// uncomment next line to enable transparency
//so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");
so.addVariable("mode", "tags");
so.addVariable("distr", "true");
so.addVariable("tspeed", "100");
so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget></em>

Then preview your template. If installed correctly, you should see the tag cloud appear in your sidebar. Then you are free to save your template, edit the colors and dimensions as required, or move it to a different location. That's all!

Customizing Blogumus
By default, Blogumus includes the following preset variables:

* Width is set to 240px
* Height is set to 300px;
* Background color is white
* Test color is Grey
* Font size is "12"

If you would prefer to make your widget wider, shorter, change the color scheme, etc, you will need to do this by editing various parts of the code. I'll go through these options in the order they appear in the widget code.

1. Editing width and height The variables for width and height are found in this line of the script:

var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");

The width (currently 240) is highlighted in red, while the height (300px default) is highlighted in blue. These numerical values specify the width and height in pixels, so you can alter these of you prefer.

2. Editing background color You can change the background color from white to any other color by altering the hex value in the same line:

var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");

For a list of HTML Color Number you can check it here

w3schools

3. Alter the color of text By default, the text is set to display as dark grey ( hex value #333333). You can alter this variable in the following line:

so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");

Be aware that "tcolor" is a Flash variable and doesn't include the usual hash symbol of hex color codes. Be sure to only replace the numbers!

4. Adjust the font size The maximum font size of tags is specified in this line:

so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");

You can alter this to ensure tags are displayed in a bigger or smaller font if you prefer by changing "12" to a larger or smaller number. While making any of these changes, you should be able to preview your widget and be certain that your new choice of color, dimensions and background are suitable for your needs.

If you get this ERROR message

"The widget with id Label99 is not within a section (actual parent element is: div.)"

Solution :

First try to remove your labels widget(if you had one)
Second, if the first solution didn't work, try to paste the code outside </b:widget>
like this

Copy all the code below </b:widget>
Hopefully that will work... It works 100% with me
