How to format text on the new facebook 2020

2020-09-23T00:05:00.000-07:00

Before I was forced into the new Facebook layout in 2020, I used to be able to make some formatted posts by simply copying some text like Bold text, links with their own title etc.

But now we are forced into the new Layout, and I can't just simply cut and paste formatted text into the new layout.

To get around this, the new Facebook layout in 2020 allows you to use Markdown.

To add formatting with Markdown to a post:

Format	Action
Bold	text
Italics	text
List	- item
Link	[title](https://facebook.com)
Numbered list	1. first item
Quote	> quote
H1	# Heading
H2	## Heading
Inline code	`code` // your code here

This might take a little bit of getting used to, but now I can continue to have posts with my own style of formatting.

How to fix the Garmin vívofit jr 2 sync

2020-06-23T02:33:00.000-07:00

I recently bought two garmin vívofit JR 2 watches, the first one was set up correctly, but then the second one had some issues as I selected "pair new device" instead of adding a new child account.

Who knew there was a difference, but what happened next introduced me to a world of sync pain.

I eventually got 1 Garmin watch synced correctly. But the second watch had all sorts of issues.

The main problem that would occur is :

If I go into Device Settings is says : "There is no device set up for this child"

I press and hold the button to sync, then the watch displays the number (my number), and the app says sound (my number)

I click "yes"

It goes "Connecting"

But then it fails

"Kid Band Disconnected"

"It looks like the band disconnected. Make sure the band is in range and show the sync icon."

So now, I cannot set up the second Account.

Everything I do, when the phone tries to connect, it times out with that "Kid Band Disconnected" error.

So what did I try :

I found a way to hard reset the watch :

Hold the button, going to the Info (i) screen, hold for 10 seconds till the "nv rst" message appears.

A big triangle appears, and then the wifi looking icon appears with my number, and try to sync with the phone

This didn't work, same problem with the sync as it wouldn't connect and time out.

Next thing I tried was deleting the app, installing it again and trying it once more.

Still the same problem.

I was going to try to contact Garmin support, but it was after hours and I was about to pull my hair out until.....

On my phone, I went to Bluetooth.

Then looked for "Paired Devices"

I saw "vivofit jr. 2" listed there.

Click the setting icon.

click "Unpair"

Now I went back into the vivofit jr. app again, and now it finally connected.

So the solution to the problem with the Garmin vivofit Jr 2 not connecting /. syncing.

Just unpair the Bluetooth connection from your phone and try again.

Hopefully this helps somebody else out there, as this is a couple of hours I am never going to get back...

[SOLVED] Unable to connect to Synology Shared folders

2020-03-03T19:21:00.000-08:00

Problem : Multiple Windows 10 machines can connect to the Synology shared folders, but one machine wouldn't.

I had 1 machine that couldn't connect to my Sunology NAS shared folders.

Under Windows File Explorer, then checking on "Network", I could see the synology but I couldn't connect to it.

I went down the following rabbit hole trying to find a solution

synology diskstation is not accessible you might not have permission "the network is not present or not started"
windows 10 unable to turn on file and printer sharing
windows 10 workstation error 1075
windows 10 cannot connect to network drive
Cannot start the Computer Browser and Workstation services

This takes you down a bad google rabbit hole, with solutions on registry edit, downloading 3rd party tools, re-installing network drivers etc.. Heck some website "experts" just tell you to re-install windows.

Several hours later, you want to pull out your hair.

At the end of the day the solution is to do with SMB, and I didn't have the feature installed.

Solution :

To enable SMB2 on Windows 10, you need to press the Windows Key + S and start typing and click on Turn Windows features on or off. You can also search the same phrase in Start, Settings.

Now scroll down till you see :
[ ] SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
[ ] SMB Direct

Select those two options, let windows install the files, and then reboot.
Thanks to : Your System Requires SMB2 or Higher Error on Windows 10

Mass export Motion Photos from Samsung Note 8

2018-09-02T22:43:00.003-07:00

On the Samsung Note 8, there is an option to enable "Motion photo" That will record a short video clip of what happens before each photo is taken.

Only issue is this motion video isn't exported to things like Google Photo, and to extract it you can only do it on the phone 1 photo at a time. Luckily I found a solution....

I wasn't able to do it directly on the phone, but this is how I mass exported the Motion Photos from my phone :

1) Copy the pictures from the phone to computer (Windows 10)

2) Using the extractVideo_SamsungMotionPhoto.sh from : http://blog.mrnepal.com/2017/12/06/how-to-export-video-from-motion-photo-in-samsung-s7s8-using-a-bash-script/
- Make a small modification to the file under :

tail -c +$(($VIDEO_OFFSET + $SEPARATOR_OFFSET)) $FILE_PATH > $DESTINATION_FILE

Add the following :

touch $DESTINATION_FILE -r $FILE_PATH

This will preserve the time stamp when you create the mp4 videos.

3) Run the script extractVideo_SamsungMotionPhoto.sh (I am using cygwin, but Bash on windows should also work)

This has now exported the videos from all your files. Because I use Google Photos, I then copied the mp4 files back to my phone to have them uploaded to Google Photos

Zlio is Closing Its Doors

2011-08-18T23:56:00.000-07:00

This is from an Email I received today (19 August 2011 16:52) in regards to the zlio.com website closing.

Email Title : ALERT : Zlio is Closing Its Doors

Six years after its launch, we regret to announce that we are going out of business.

The service will officially end on September 11!

Zlio had a fantastic start, receiving capital from one Europe's largest venture capital funds, Mangrove Capital. In addition, we held advanced M&A talks with Google, which unfortunately fell through at the last minute.

Our strong initial growth was interrupted on September 27, 2007, when the majority of Zlio shops, which were generally very well ranked, saw their Google ranking drop dramatically, eliminating 65% of our traffic.

Despite our best efforts, and the opening of 380,000 stores to date, it has not been possible to regain our previous Google rankings, except in exceptional cases.

When we founded Zlio, we thought that you, members of Zlio, would successfully promote your shops among your circles. We did not believe that Google referencing would be so crucial. Unfortunately, it has proved to be indispensable.

Among the actions taken to improve our Google ranking, we approached an SEO company who claimed they were able to fix our problem.

In view of their poor performance, we assessed that this company had not fulfilled its obligations. Therefore, we entered into dispute with it, which resulted in a court case whose sentence was rendered on July 26, 2011. This ruling is available on the website of the Paris Commercial Court (Tribunal de Commerce de Paris).

This decision sentences us both to pay the whole of a service that we still believe have not been provided and to pay damages for publishing our opinion about Referencement on Twitter. The latter part of the sentence has already drawn much attention in the French media.

This sentence means we cannot go on. The service has been losing money for several years (which forced us to gradually reduce our staff), and the amounts to which we are sentenced to pay today no longer allow us to meet our obligations.

Nevertheless:

- We will settle all the commissions due to our members. If you have validated commissions, you are invited to collect them as soon as possible via your administration interface.

Click here to go to your administration interface : http://accommodation.zlio.com/admin/index.php?page=Commissions

If you have pending commissions, you will be able to collect them within the next few weeks as the merchants validate them.

- The Premium subscriptions that will still be active on September 11 will be reimbursed automatically in the next few days as Zlio commissions prorata their remaining months of subscriptions.

The shops will close on September 11.

The owners of active domain names registered through our service will soon receive an email with the information required to transfer their domain name to another website.

Thank you all for your trust!

We are proud to have invented such an innovative tool, but it soon became clear that our success was too dependent on search engine optimization, which we did anticipate.

Thank you all for your support, and see you soon!

The Zlio Team

PS: Throughout this period, our support is reachable by email to answer any questions at the address: http://www.zlio.com/help/contact
News about the service will be regularly published on our Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/zlio

PS2: The teams of Zlio have launched several projects over the last months, including:

Taking Screen shots from the browser : Firefox and Internet Explorer

2008-01-17T14:41:00.000-08:00

It is not every day I am speechless about a firefox plug-in, but I just have to let more people know about this one.

FireShot

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648

Quote from the site :

FireShot is a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages. Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers. It's possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured. Screenshots can be saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.
Adds the ability to take a screenshot of web page (entire of visible part), edit it, add annotations and save (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copy to clipboard, send to external editor or e-mail it.

Having worked in an environment where people need to make changes to web sites, or even easily take a screen shot, this product it worth its weight in gold. This example shows how easy it is to draw over the page, and have it saved as an image.

If you are using IE, and want to take a screen shot from the browser I also suggest looking at :

IE Screenshot

http://www.browsertweaks.com/screenshot.html

Quote from the Site :

Do you like to make screenshots of Web pages that you've visited? What can you do about pages that are longer than one screen? Use IE Screenshot! With a single click, IE Screenshot makes a copy of a full page (no matter how long it is) and saves it as an image file. IE Screenshot scrolls around the page taking shots which it later stitches together.
The free version of IE Screenshot will let you save screenshots as bitmaps (BMPs) only. Using the program is simple - just click the IE Screenshot button and specify a filename. If you require extended functions for saving screenshots in other popular formats GIF, JPG, PNG, etc., stamping text on screenshots, or e-mailing a screenshot to others via the Internet

Application Error Possible Solution

2008-01-03T20:58:00.000-08:00

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application.

I have a work Dell Laptop (Latitude d630) and was getting this error on a couple of programs, Mainly irfanView. The weird thing is the program worked when I installed it, but got the error every time I tried to open it again.

The Laptop is on a domain and the only possible solution I found to work was :

Right Click the File
Select "Run As"
Make sure you Have the Current User Selected
And also "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity"

I have found this was the only solution this problem, as I now need to look at Permissions on users. At least I can now get the program to actually load.

How dodgy are funkysexycool.com Beware of their mobile scam

2008-01-02T14:46:00.000-08:00

On New Year’s eve around 10pm, I received this SMS message :

From Mobile Phone Number: 19994333

Message : Play Mobile Money Quiz and win $30 of mobile call credits. Quiz starts Jan08 so reply YES now 4 ur chance to win. Q's 25c + $4 monthly subs. stop 2 opt out

Notice how there is very little actual company information, no way to find out terms and conditions. Yet when I queried with my Mobile phone provider they told me it was funkysexycool (Funky sexy cool).

I have never signed up for any service from this company, I am not even on pre paid to even want to receive $30 in credit. I also have never used a Premium SMS service, and the fact that it actually cost me money to RECEIVE this message is ridiculous.

The fact there is no way to stop receiving these messages, companies like funky sexy cool are able to send messages to anybody, and the person receiving the SMS will get billed. There needs to be something fixed with Australia telecommunications if this is allowed to happen. I shouldn’t have to opt out of something I never actually signed up for, AND BE CHARGED.

I highly recommend people:

DON’T USE funky sexy cool

As their practice of sending unsolicited messages to people is almost a license to print money.

This needs to be stopped, and if you have received any other messages please leave a comment with the number and message if you still have it.

Google Maps and the 404 error : maps/gen_204

2007-11-28T20:46:00.000-08:00

Running multiple Drupal sites and using Google maps, the last few days I been getting a bunch of 404 errors

warning page not found 11/28/2007 - 15:24 maps/gen_204 Anonymous 
warning page not found 11/28/2007 - 15:24 maps/gen_204 Anonymous 
warning page not found 11/28/2007 - 15:23 maps/gen_204 Anonymous

Upon further inspection I see that for some reason The new version Google Maps API is referring to a file on my own server

http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:14789,y:10052,zoom:3
http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:14789,y:10054,zoom:3
http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:14529,y:9900,zoom:3
http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:29592,y:20109,zoom:2
http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:14,y:11,zoom:13
http://www.mysite.com/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad=x:29594,y:20144,zoom:2

Looking into the actual Google Maps JavaScript file
http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/93/maps2.api/main.js

I notice the following line

U.prototype.zv=function(a){var b=Mw(ey(a)),c=b[qf],d=b[rf],e=b[tv],f=Wr("x:%1$s,y:%2$s,zoom:%3$s",c,d,e);tn("/maps/gen_204?ev=failed_tile&cad="+f)};

So it looks like they have a relative path set up, so instead of looking for a Google maps tile, it is looking on my own site. I don't think the visitors see this, but everybody who moves the map are creating this error. I wouldn't expect Google to let something like this slip. But now I guess I have to wait or change the Maps version myself.

AdSense for Mobile and the Page Impressions Problem

2007-10-08T04:46:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like Google Adsense for Mobile is counting web crawlers as Page Impression. So right now my stats are are bad, and have even worse Page CTR.

My site uses Drupal, and with the help of the browscap module, I currently use the following code.

A quote from the browscap README.txt

Modules wishing to make use of browscap data may call browscap_get_browser() anywhere they would otherwise call get_browser() (see function.get-browser). Note that browser_name_regex is not returned - otherwise, the results should be identical to calling get_browser().

So here is the code I use, as I will show the Ads for the Google Bot (even though I currently have a problem with Google is indexing their Mobile Adsense Advertisements )

I know what the Google Bot looks like :

Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 
(compatible; Mediapartners-Google/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

So I just check the HTTP_USER_AGENT for Google

BEGIN CODE

<?php
/* *************************************************************** */
/* Check for browser */
/* *************************************************************** */
$display_ads = true;
// Will show Ads for Google
if (! ( stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"google") ) ){
 // browscap_get_browser is a Drupal Module function
 $browser = browscap_get_browser(null, true);
 if (array_key_exists("crawler", $browser) && $browser['crawler']==1){
  // found out its a crawler, so set the Display Ads to false
  $display_ads = false;
 } 
}

/* *************************************************************** */
/* GOOGLE AD CODE */
/* *************************************************************** */
if($display_ads){
 $GLOBALS['google']['ad_type']='text';
 // ...
 @require('http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.php');

}
?>

END CODE

You may of noticed I placed the @ symbol (also known as the error suppression operator) in front of the require function. As I have seen the request fail, and this tells the function to fail silently. The page will continue to load, but just wont have any Ads. Also would be a good idea to set in the php.ini to have display_errors = Off

Also with Drupal you don't want users to see the errors so :
Administer > Site configuration > Error reporting
Where you have : "Error reporting:"
Set this to "Write error to the log"

I hope this helps those who have just started with Mobile Adsense, and are getting very high Page Impressions due to web bots / crawlers

Google sending application/xhtml+xml and Firefox gets a XML Parsing Error

2007-10-04T23:07:00.000-07:00

One of the problems using a handful of Firefox Add-ons is one day something isn’t going to work. And today that was google.com.au not working for me.
Using the Live Headers, I could see that Google was sending application/xhtml+xml headers. Because their meta tag wasn’t closed, it was causing firefox to display the XML Parsing Error.

Live HTTP Headers

Firefox XML Parse Error

Force Content Type

Using the Force Content Type Add-On I am able to change the Content header from application/xhtml+xml to text/html

That wasn't too hard to fix, as I wasn't prepared to spend a good amount of time disabling Firefox Add-ons, and could still use everything I needed and wanted.

To see what Firefox Add-ons I use, check out my previous post : All we need is another 20+ Must have Firefox extensions

New Zealand Postcodes and Suburb Names

2007-10-01T23:06:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe how hard it is to find a list of New Zealand Post codes. Checking the New Zealand Post: Address and Postcode Finder I didn't want to spend the next 3 days manually finding the simple : Postcode to Suburb name relationship.

They do have a PDF version, but that is very hard to import. But I think I got the list, please let me know if I am missing some, or if some are just wrong. The next step is to get the longitude and latitude which should not be that hard.

I am a little confused that some Suburbs have Multiple Postcodes, are they actually the same suburb? Or is there Duplicate Suburb Names in New Zealand?

So enjoy the list.

Google is indexing their Mobile Adsense Advertisements

2007-09-30T16:19:00.000-07:00

As my mobile site is starting to get indexed, I am a little concerned that the Google Mobile Adsense is appearing in the search results. I have the ads on the top of the page which is great SEO & SEM for the advertisers, especially for the Ads that are relying on phone numbers as point of contact.

What currently happens is when a visitor hits the site, it is then hit by the google bot:

crawl-66-249-73-205.googlebot.com
User-Agent : Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (compatible; Mediapartners-Google/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

I guess this is checking the Ads or something, so I don’t think it would be a good idea to not show the Ads for the Google bot, but what am I meant to do? Is any body else getting this problem?

I have already contacted Google over the current issue with the Yahoo bot hitting the site and then having it count as page impressions.

How to identify a mobile phone hitting your web site

I have seen a lot of mobile headers, and here are just a few …

What is the easiest way to identify if its an actual mobile hitting your browser? Well to me it was checking the user-agent contains MIDP. Eg: Profile/MIDP-2.0. I used to think checking for MIDP-2.0 was the way to go. All the new phones are identified by it, and in most cases it would mean it was colour, and had java etc. But It wasn’t until the google bot hit my site that I now just check for MIDP

Eg: The Google Bot User Agent String

Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 
(compatible; Mediapartners-Google/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

A small snippet of PHP code I use to check if it’s a mobile :

if (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MIDP")){
 $mobile=true;
}

And another piece of code I use for the mobile phones is the HTTP_ACCEPT header

if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"], "application/xhtml+xml")){
 header("Content-type: application/xhtml+xml");
}else {
 header("Content-type: text/html");
}

Now it must be my lucky day as now Google is indexing my mobile site even though my webmaster sitemaps.xml are submitted as Mobile/XHTML

When is a file.rss not an actual .rss file?

2007-09-30T01:42:00.000-07:00

When the Header sent back is Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Using Live HTTP Headers Firefox Add On https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829

I could see Apache was treating my filename.rss files as normal text. Modifying the .htaccess file to treat the .rss files correctly, I made the following modification :

# Set up correct header for the rss files


AddType application/rss+xml .rss

Now checking out the reply header, it now sends back the correct header

Content-Type: application/rss+xml

Now my problem is checking with Google using the allinurl and site filters I can see almost 5000+ are indexed. I am not sure if I should be a little concerned, as I would rather search engine traffic go to the site, rather than the rss feed. Also duplicate content could become an issue.

I would of thought Google would of known not to add a rss feed to their main search results, as the files began with :

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<rss version='2.0'>
<channel>
<title>blah...</title>
....

So now I guess only time will tell if I get more of my RSS files indexed, or not.

To find out how many files I had listed, I used to following search (replaced sitename of course)

allinurl:www.sitename.com site:www.sitename.com .rss

The launch of a Mobile Site

2007-09-25T23:19:00.000-07:00

I have always liked the idea of a mobile site, and my previous job I created a great Mobile version of their existing site. It had logins, pretty colors, anchor links, mobile access key links so you could press a button to activate links. It wasn’t until the launch of Inside AdSense: Here comes mobile that I have even considered porting one of my biggest sites to a mobile version.

In a perfect world you can have one style sheet for a browser, and a mobile style sheet for a mobile. But in reality it just doesn’t work. The amount of content for a phone has to be considered, visual real estate is also another. One thing is users are going to have to click a lot on a mobile phone to view the content. So you got to make what gets shown count.

Some problems I have seen is clicking down on a phone goes to the next link, so if you have lots of links, the point of link focus can go all over the place. I liked the idea of “down arrows” that will take you to the next section of the page, I try to keep the pages shot (like 10 cms long).

So now that I created the mobile site, how do I SEO it? How do I promote it? Should I worry about it being indexed in the main Google site, thus causing a potential duplicate content problem?

First things first : Create the site maps.
Problem is I did this for almost 30,000 “Main” pages. Each of these pages can have between 1 to almost 300 other links. That’s a lot of pages and even though the html contains :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

My HTTP headers are sending
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

This could be a problem, so I need to check if it can accept the application/xhtml+xml header and send that.
I really should fix this, and can see how I get crawled.

Next step is the site needs a site map link, its not really for the users, but more of the crawlers. The pages should really leak to others.

Next step is to make a link to the site map in the robots.txt file
Next is to submit them to the Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster tools.

I did this about 4 days ago, and in today’s logs I have noticed :


cr06.wap.search.mud.yahoo.com
Nokia6682/2.0 (3.01.1) SymbianOS/8.0 Series60/2.6 Profile/MIDP-2.0
configuration/CLDC-1.1 UP.Link/6.3.0.0.0 (compatible;YahooSeeker/M1A1-R2D2; 
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/crawling/crawling-01.html)

crawl-66-249-73-205.googlebot.com
Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (compatible; 
Mediapartners-Google/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Now spending all this time creating 2 versions of a site, you get to see potential problems

Mobile Web developers irate at Vodafone move
http://wireless.itworld.com/4269/070924vodafone/page_1.html

Vodafone UK is abusing its position
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/vodafonerant/

This is all I need,
And the fact that with the Google Adsense on the mobile, is the site has to hit google for the link data (only after allowing fopen (gulp)) Then the page gets displayed, and then Google ad bot hits the site.

As for Google Mobile Adsense : Page impressions, it counts the yahoo bot hitting your site. So if you see a big spike there, now you know.

Well time to monitor the logs and wait for the mobile feedback.

To block Webaroo or not?

2007-09-25T19:00:00.000-07:00

I am in the process of releasing a mobile version of one of my web sites. So to get an idea of what browsers are hitting my site, Using Drupal CMS I installed the Browse Cap module. I noticed that Webaroo is hitting my site almost as much as the Google Bot. Running a web site I don’t mind Google hitting a site so much, because you get the traffic back from their search engine. The problem I see with Webaroo is that its basically 1 user grabbing all the traffic. Running the site on a shared host, I have to take into account where all my resources go.

Checking the Webaroo site I couldn’t find my site appear in any of the search results, so the question is “Should I block Webaroo or not”

Some searching on Webaroo mentioned them inserting their own Ads, which I am not a big fan off if they are simply caching the site, but this is what really concerned me, over at betanews :
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Webaroo/1154707595/1

One last thing: I rated this a 1 because Webaroo secretly runs a BitTorrent client on your computer. I've read all the license agreement and terms of service, privacy policy, FAQ, and everything else in the software and on the web site, and NOWHERE do they disclose that you will be contributing your upload bandwidth while downloading.

Now that’s a big concern to me just as a user. So it would be great to hear what other web site administrators are dealing with Webaroo.

JavaScript Select Box Filter

2007-09-24T17:30:00.000-07:00

Today’s link of the “Oh I don’t want to spend all day coding this stuff myself” day goes to the Matt Kruse’s JavaScript Toolbox.
http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/selectbox/index.php

What I need is some JavaScript that allows me to select options from a multi option select box.
Checking out the examples and the “Selecting Options By Regular Expression” is exactly what I am after.

The Site has many other great resources I think I will find some use for, as this site would of probably got lost in my del.icio.us book marks.

Now the problem I had was with a Multiple Select box it uses an array, like this example.


....
<select name="selectids[]" size="10" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1" selected="selected">Value 1</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Value 2</option>
</select>
....

Now I couldn't just pass the value "selectids" as that doesn't exist, so you need to use array notation instead.
eg : document.forms[0]['selectids[]']

So this is the example I now used


<script type="text/javascript" src="/selectbox.js"></script>
Select Matching Options: <input type="text" name="pattern1" value="^\w+$">
<input type="button" 
  name="selectmatching1" 
  value="Select" 
  onClick="Selectbox.selectOptions(document.forms[0]['selectids[]'],this.form.pattern1.value)">
<br>
Select ONLY Matching Options: <input type="text" name="pattern2" value="^\w+$">
<input type="button" 
  name="selectmatching2" 
  value="Select" 
  onClick="Selectbox.selectOnlyOptions(document.forms[0]['selectids[]'],this.form.pattern2.value)">
<br>
Un-Select Matching Options: <input type="text" name="pattern3" value="^\w+$">
<input type="button" 
  name="selectmatching3" 
  value="Select" 
  onClick="Selectbox.unselectOptions(document.forms[0]['selectids[]'],this.form.pattern3.value)">
<br>
<input type="button" 
  name="selectall" 
  value="Select All Options" 
  onClick="Selectbox.selectAllOptions(document.forms[0]['selectids[]'])">
<br>

Which now works the way I want it to.

All we need is another 20+ Must have Firefox extensions

2007-09-20T23:45:00.000-07:00

I get asked a lot which Firefox extensions I use. OK not really, but I just needed to keep them as a list, so I know what to install next time I have to work on a PC with only IE installed.

All we need is another "20+ Must have Firefox extensions list for the Web Developer". With Forecastfox making the list it cannot be too serious. Also are they still called extensions or Add-ons?

Name of Extension	Image	Why I use it
Adblock Plus		Yes I do block ads. There I said it. This was one of the extensions that first got me using firefox.
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper		Lets me hide more. A companion extension for Adblock Plus
ColorfulTabs		I usually have open 10+ tabs in Firefox, so the Colour makes the Tabs a little easier to read.
ColorZilla		Gives me the colour RGB and HEX values.
del.icio.us buttons		I am now hooked on bookmarking and tags. This lets me to easily tag pages, and bookmark sites that I probably wont ever visit again.
Fasterfox		I don't use this as much as I used to, but the timer it has shows me how long the pages take to load.
Firebug		I don't leave home without this one. It is great for trouble shotting web site problems. This is usually always open on in my Dual Montior set up.
Font Finder		Used to help my identify which fonts a web site uses. very helpfull it it is hidden deep in the CSS.
Force Content Type		I use this when I want to view an XML file in the browser, but the site is sending me the wrong headers
Forecastfox		I like to know what the weather is outside. Sure I might not actually go outside, but its handy to know that Melbourne is Mostly Cloudy and 11 degrees.
Greasemonkey		I use this a for a couple of sites
Html Validator		Another one I don't leave home without this one. Although now I am getting to the point where Warnings are fine, its the red cross I need to worry about.
IE Tab		I have it, but don't use it. Generally I just open up IE itself. One of the advantages of a dual monitor set up.
Javascript Debugger		its makes debugging Javascript that little bit easier.
Live HTTP Headers		I need to see what HTTP headers are.
MeasureIt		Sure there is a Ruler in the web developer extension (Miscellaneous -> Display Ruler) But I like this one.
MinimizeToTray		I have it installed, but I use Power Menu now. So I guess I should really disable this one.
PDF Download		Because sometimes it is easier to download the PDF
Session Manager		In a perfect world I wouldn't need this, but on the odd occasion my brower does crash, this lets me resume where I left off.
Stylish		Great for testing out a style sheet, without actually uploading. Not used much recently, but was a great tool to move the Digg page around when the site changed layouts
Tab Mix Plus		Gives me a little more options for the Tabs.
User Agent Switcher		Yes I used this to make my browser look like the iPhone a couple months before it was released, and I hit all the Apple sites I could find. Sorry to all those who got excited when they saw (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A537a Safari/418.4) in their logs. Now I use it to test out my mobile / wap pages.
Web Developer		This is the first extension I install. I mainly use the "Information -> View Color Information" on web sites to figure out what my homes paint colour scheme should be.
wmlbrowser		Lets me browse wml (Wap) sites in my browser. Really need to use this with User Agent Switcher for full effect.
XHTML Mobile Profile		Another tool to help test out Mobile Phone designed web sites.
YSlow		Great new tool from the folks at Yahoo. Used with Firebug. Not too sure if I like it yet, as it just means I know have proof my web sites are too slow, have too many javascript files and are sites get Ranked "F". It really should grade on the curve.

About the Author: I run the some small websites in my spare time. I started doing web development when geocities was cool, hotmail didn't belong to microsoft, having an ICQ number 3096077 was cool, and used Netscape Gold for its HTML editing capabilities.

RSS Feeds that make me lazy

2007-09-05T21:02:00.000-07:00

Some are work related, some are complete time wasters. The Off beat list helps me keep ahead of the digg crowd. So enjoy, but don't blame me if your work productivity starts to go down hill.

GPRS Data Usage differences between Nokia and Sony

2007-09-04T20:42:00.000-07:00

From my examples I can clearly see that a Nokia phone sends more information in the header, compared to the Sony Ericsson. But when checking the data counters on the phone, viewing 25 exact same pages I have designed, the phones reported the following :

Nokia 7250i:
Sent Data : 6,500 B
Received Data : 55,000 B

Sony Ericsson K750i:
Sent Data : 22,000 B
Received Data : 65,000 B

Now this is a bit alarming, as I am trying to calculate GPRS cost of usage, yet 2 phones are telling me different things.

My Calculations:
The Sony seems about right at 25 pages * (approx 777 B header) = 19,425B
Yet the Nokia should be showing 25 pages * (approx 1,641 B header) = 41,025 B

So anybody know anything about GPRS costs? Time to ask the Telco we use at work....

As for the code I am writing, it checks to see if the phone is capable of viewing XHTML from its header. If that's possible I display a nice colourful XHTML page. If that isn't found, they are displayed a basic wml (wap) page. So I don't care if its Nokia, Sony... as long as the phone reports that it can view something, I display it...
