Comments Disable For Now Sort Of

To be Honest I don't have that much time to work on my blog cause of my work and at the same time not having an internet connection at home. Currently my blog is set to moderate all comments for now so no more anonymous commenting because I'm getting flooded with comment spam which is quite irritating. I'll be back soon and hopefully by then i have learned to make templates using the blogger beta.

Templates

These templatess are originally made for Wordpress and have been ported to work with blogger.com. To install a template, simply unzip the file and open the text file using kate, kwrite or notepad then copy the code. Go to Blogger control panel select the template tab and paste the code into the template area, save changes then republish.

Each template is licensed according to their original creators respective licenses so that basically means if a template such as Beccary's WP Dusk theme is licensed as GPL then the ported version is GPL as well. Get it? Got it!

Blogger.com is Getting an Update

Finally blogger is getting an update. I'm trying it out now by creating a new account using my gmail, didn't go for the merge thing cause i got scared that it might mess-up my current template. The one feature that we blogger user have been waiting for is here and its called Labels!(categories) which is a good thing and a bit sad cause we have to say byebye to our category hacks. They also added the private blogs feature werein you can be the only one to view your blog or you can let only certain people view it, which basically means that my boss won't get to read my rants ever again hehehehe. It says in the intro that theres going to be a drag and drop feature in the customization of your templates ala google pages i guess. You can read the other features here.

Quick Post

I haven't been posting anything for quite some time now so here is a post on stuff i found useful for the past couple of weeks.

1. Bart PE - As qouted from its creator Bart's PE Builderhelps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows in a CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks. Just like having a Live Linux CD except its windows and you do need to have a licensed windows for you to use it. Here are some of the useful plugins i installed: Sherpya's Windows XPE Plugin, Codecs Plugin for XPE/PnP, ClamWin Antivirus Scanner 0.88, Java Plugin 1.5.0_06, Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 Plugin, Ewieldra's Antivir PersonalEditon Classic version 7, Tariq hasan's Avast plugin. These are some of the plugins i downloaded and used there are tons more plugins out there just google Bart PE plugins.

2. Chikka.com - Chikka lets you send free messages from pc to pc, from pc to a mobile phone and from a mobile phone to pc. You can use the Chikka Messenger or in my case Chikka Javalite version to send text messages directly to cell phones in the Philippines, the U.S., Japan, India, or Thailand at no cost. Ok there is a catch though for every network there is an alotted credit once the credit is consumed it will be replenish the following day. Here are the allocations for each network:

AT&T (US) - 20
Cingular Wireless (US) - 20
Other U.S. Mobile Phones - 30
Globe (Ph) - 30
Smart (Ph) - 20
Sun Cellular (Ph) - 4
Japan Mobile Phones - 20
DTAC (TH) - 20
Guamcell/Saipancell - 20
India Mobile Phones - 10

Well thats it for now. Enjoy!

Dusk Template


Its been a while since I last posted here. I've been busy with work and recently i have been hired by a school to take care of their computers. The pay is good and i stil have my old job so more moolah for me hehehe. Those people who reads this blogs knows that i'm a linux, free and opensource type of guy and since working for a school with windows xp with every beige boxes it just made me happy that i'm using linux and not windows. Why do i say that? Well on my first day at the school i got bombarded with so much worms and virus that i just gave up trying to clean the pc via an antivirus program and just reformated the pcs and installed xp. In one computer alone there is a total of 4600++ files infected by Brontok worm, That's FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED PLUS on one pc alone, can you believe that! Well enough of my story back to what the above title says.

For the whole time i was gone i was just only able to make one template and this is it. Presenting Beccary's Dusk Template! It is a two column dark blue and grey theme. Enjoy!

Meebo - The Web Based Instant Messenger


Meebo is a AJAX powered web based instant messenger that lets you connect to 6 IM networks namely Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, Jabber, GTalk and MSN Messenger making it an all-in-one instant messenger.

You can register for an account at Meebo giving you the capability to login on all 6 IM network provided you have an account on each one of them, you also get chat logs and user preference. But if you don't want to register you can still use Meebo just by logging-in to your desired IM network. Meebo uses 1024-bit RSA keys to encrypt your passwords thus making your password safe and secure from prying eyes.

Meebo is for those people who want to stay in touch with their friends but can't because the PC doesn't have the IM you need or it's being blocked by a Firewall or your just like me who hates resource sucking bloatware.

Simpla 3 Column

This blog is running on Simpla3c which is basically a simpla theme that is using three column instead of two which the original has. I was suppose to upload this before but i didn't because i was kinda waiting for something to happen... which i have to cut the story here because i don't want to bore you with the details as to why i didn't uploaded the template. A couple of people has been asking for this template for quite some time now and i couldn't wait anymore for that "something to happen" so here it is Simpla3c.

WordPress Theme for Blogger

A couple of months ago I registered for a free blog account at Wordpress.com and I would say that WordPress is nice it has functionalities that Blogger.com really needs one of which is the categories and the ability to highlight recent post and a whole lot more. I really like the themes but what I don't like about it is that I can't mess with the theme/template, maybe there is a way but currently I don't know how to. So what I have been doin for the past couple of days is porting some WordPress themes to work with Blogger.com. Obviously we won't get the functionality that is offered by the WordPress engine but we can get is the look and feel of it.

Here is my first port...

Better Than Me

I was listening to FLOSS Weekly over the weekend. If you don't know what FLOSS Weekly is, FLOSS Weekly is a podcast hosted by Chris DiBona and Leo Laporte over at ThisWeekInTech.Com(twit.tv) and the show covers mostly stuff that is related to opensource software. I was listening to Episode 5 featuring Miguel de Icaza, the charismatic co-creator of the GNOME desktop, founder of Ximian, and father of the controversial Mono Project, designed to port dot-Net to Linux. One of Miguel's statement that caught my ears is that the reason he stop blogging was because he found that there are people out there that are better than him when it comes to blogging. I feel the same way, Like Mr. de Icaza whenever I read blogs I find myself inadequate because between me and them they have better grammar, they are more articulate and they are wittier than me and this is the reason why I abandoned my 1st blog which I started way back 2001 .

So why did I return to blogging even though there are thousand out there who are far more better than I am.. well because I want to share my thought and my feelings and the operative word here "My" yes there are other blogger better than me but their thoughts and feeling is different than mine. We may talk about the same thing but I might have a different view on the topic. There are other reason why I blog but this is the main reason why I blog. what's your reason for blogging?

K2 Beta Two r157


I like the Wordpress K2 Beta two theme. I have been using Blogger-templates version of K2 Beta two for quite sometime now. Then I saw revision 157 Its was beautiful, I like it a lot. I went to Blogger-Template to see if anyone has tried to port it for blogger.com.. there was none so I search the net for it.. didn't find any. So what I did is I tried to make one and tada here is 1ijack's sloppy version of K2 Beta Two r157.

Why sloppy would you ask? Well the css code isn't cleaned thoroughly there are some code that I didn't remove cause they might be useful in some way that I haven't found out yet. But atleast its functional.

Opera Mini 2.0

Opera just release a new version of Opera Mini. To me this is one of the greatest application ever made for a mobile phone. I mainly use it to check our e-commerce website and the occasional google surfing. One of its new feature that I will definitely use is its ability to download files directly to the phone, now I can download images from our online store whenever I need to know what an Item looks like. Here are the new features in Opera Mini 2.0:

- Content download: Download images, MP3s, etc. directly to the phone.

- New skins: Make Opera Mini your own by selecting from several new and bold skins to suit your mood.

- Multisearch: Opera Mini offers advanced searching functionality by allowing users to select extra search engines for the home page.

- Speed dial: Bookmarks displayed on the home page are assigned a shortcut key combination, giving users faster and easier access to their favorite sites.

- Visual navigation: Quick and smooth horizontal panning when browsing backwards or forwards.

Add Your Blogger.com Blog to Google Sitemap


Google Sitemaps helps you in submitting your site to Google Index. Basically its just a way of informing googlebot what's in your site and where to crawl thus helping you get more traffic to your site. When Google Sitemaps appeared I immediately signed-up for it just to find out that I can't use it using Blogger.com/Blogspot.com because you need to put the xml file at the server root which we blogger user don't have access to.

But now that has change. You can add you blog to Google Sitemap by just submitting your blog's feed to Google Sitemap.

1. Login to Google Sitemaps
2. Add your site
3. Once your site is added click "Add a Sitemap"
4. Choose "Add General Web Sitemap"
5. Check all the boxes and add your site's feed.
Example: http://yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml
6. Then go back to "My Site" once there click "verify"
7. Choose "Add META Tag" as a verification method
8. Copy the META tag listed below and paste it in your site's home page in the first <HEAD> section of the page, before the first <BODY> section. Save template and republish.
9. Then click "Verify" again and that's it, your blog is now successfully submitted to Google Sitemaps.

Spread Firefox Aggressively


I'm a Mozilla Firefox user since version 0.9. I like everything about Firefox from its tab browsing to its use of themes and especially its use extensions. I try to spread the use of Firefox among my friends and I even make sure that everyone in the office uses Firefox telling them how secure it is compared to Internet Explorer. Now here is one way of making people switch to Firefox and at the same time earn a dollar doin it.

Switch your users to Firefox and make money.
You already want people to switch to Firefox. Now's the time to get serious about it. Google is paying $1 for each new Firefox user you refer.

This is pretty amazing. Now you can advance your ideals, save people from popups and spyware hell, and make some serious money. Millions of people have heard about Firefox and are ready to switch--all they need is a friendly push.

That's where these scripts come in. They're specially formulated to give just the right push, maximizing souls-saved and dollars-for-you.

This Hot Weather, Openoffice.Org and BSA

I just came in from visiting our merchants and buying some stuff for the office, the only thing I could say is IT'S DAMN HOT OUT HERE!! It's 35° Celsius or 93° fahrenheit according to Yahoo! Weather. It's so hot you can practically fry an egg on the roof of the car.

Now about Openoffice.Org(OOo) as I said I have been visiting merchant all day today and one thing that I find amusing is finding OOo installed in their computers. Why you may ask is that amusing well for one thing this is Microsoft country every single computer here from small internet shop to small/medium businesses even ordinary household has Windows XP Pro and MS Office even if they don't have the money to buy a one... wink wink.

Back to OOo, I've been asking around why they are using OOo and the common answer is that they are afraid that they might get raided by the Authorities and the Business Software Alliance for using pirated software. Lots of small to medium businesses has already been raided by the BSA even internet cafes got raided. Computers containing pirated softwares are confiscated, businesses has to temporarily close down until they pay a huge amount of money to pay the fine. Because of this threat to their business they are now starting to migrate to Open Source Software such as Linux and Openoffice.Org others still uses XP but with OOo as their office suite. Now because of this I feel we should applaud the BSA for cracking down on these companies using pirated software and at the same time thank them for indirectly promoting Opensource Software here in the Philippines.

So until the price of commercial software goes down make mine Open Source!

Get Yahoo Mail Beta Now

Here is a clever way to get yahoo mail beta the much talk about redesign of yahoo mail. As of now you can only use yahoo mail beta if your from europe but with this trick that won't matter anymore.

To get Yahoo Mail Beta, just switch your content preference to Germany, France or UK. Then you will be asked if you want to join the beta when you log into your Yahoo Mail. Say yes, and join the beta. Then from the options menu, change your content preference what it was before. Then go to Yahoo Mail again. You should see Yahoo Beta. If you don't see it, go to options and click "Try Beta" button. That's all.

How to change your content preference:

  • log in to Yahoo Mail

  • click Options

  • select Account information from the left panel

  • go to Member Information, General Preferences, Preferred Content

  • select, for example, Yahoo UK

  • click Finished

    OpenOffice.Org Base

    Over the weekend my brother ask me to help him make a database using OpenOffice.Org Base. What is Base you might ask
    BASE enables you to manipulate database data seamlessly within OpenOffice.org. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, either using your own database or BASE’s own built-in HSQL database engine. BASE offers a choice of using Wizards, Design Views, or SQL Views for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.
    As it turns out there is no book available for OOo Base. So I did a search for howtos on the net and here are some of the links I found that are very useful for anyone who wants to try OOo Base.

    OOoForum.org - Beginners - Example Database - Base Tutorial

    Tux Magazine



    TUX is the first and only magazine for the new Linux user and is dedicated to promoting and simplifying the use of Linux on the desktop. Each issue of TUX is delivered digitally as an easy to read PDF.

    Tux is just one of the two downloadable magazine I read. I like reading Tux cause their articles are useful and easy to understand which is good for newbies and experts alike. Mango Parfait's column is funny with her bubble-headedness which a lot of people hated her for being that but for me in the end she still gives out helpful tips to us linux users. Another notable thing about Tux is the use of landscape for viewing the magazine its really a nice touch it makes it easy on the eye. Subscribe now and have a blast reading this awesome mag.

    KBFX and My New Debian Chopper Wallpaper

    I installed the latest release of KBFX which is 0.4.9.1 last Monday and I just love it! What is KBFX you say well I'll let the developers answer that:
    KBFX is an alternative to the classical K-Menu button and it's menu. It improves the user experience by enabling the user to set a bigger (and thus more visible) start button and by finally replacing the Win95-like K-Menu. But if you still want the old menu, because you're used to it, it is still available as an option in kbfx. We recommend, however, that you give the Spinx bar a try.

    The install wasn't as clean as i would like it to be. The problem is not with KBFX but with my system as I stated before I'm running a poor man's install of Knoppix 4.0.2 thus I'm having problems configuring some of the applications I wanted to run.

    I tried to install it using make configure but it's a no go so next step is to install by using the kubuntu breezy package and voila it installed... sorta. It gave out a dependency error, I'm missing kdelibs4c2. Even though it gave out an error it still installed and ran. Although KBFX is running I can't customize it the way I want, like I can't use my custom launch button although the default button is nice its doesn't go with my grey desktop theme and I can't also use the nookie theme for KBFX. The KBFX configurator just won't accept anything I put in. So what I did is renamed the nookie folder to default and copied it to /UNIONFS/usr/share/apps/kbfx/skins. After that I renamed and copied over my custom launch button to /UNIONFS/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/actions and thats it, as you can see from the screenshots its working pretty dang good.

    I created a new wallpaper and as usual I'm using choppers as my main theme. [Download 1024x768]

    Debian Chopper


    A couple days ago I uploaded a wallpaper I made for my Knoppix desktop over at kde-look.org and it's kinda cool to know that people are downloading it and using it as a wallpaper on their desktop. The original version of this wallpaper can be found here the only difference is that the original has the word knoppix near the bottom. I used GIMP and Macromedia Fireworks to create the wallpaper. I used GIMP when I'm at home and Fireworks at the office and yes virginia I'm using windows xp at the office).

    The strange character that you see before the copyright is basically my last name written in a old filipino script called baybay also known as alibata. To know more about baybayin/alibata visit www.eaglescorner.com/baybayin/.

    What the Heck! Dattebayo!

    One of my regular habit on the net is downloading Naruto episode at dattebayo and today I just found out that Dattebayo Fansub LLC was bought by this company known as FUNimation. I don't know what funimation is or what does it do but I do hope they don't screwup my favorite fansub. Many regulars visitors of dattebayo are asking not to download videos there anymore because it's commercialize and stuff as for me I'll check around first and if things start to suck then I'll bailout immediately.

    Jumping Around!

    I've been learning a lot of blogger hacks and trick lately and to me its kinda fun to know that you can bend blogger to do what you want.. well almost do what you want. There are still other stuff that you can't do with blogger and thats why I see people spending years using blogger now jumping overboard and goin to wordpress.com. Wordpress is nice it got tons of addons and aesthetically pleasing thats why I see people are goin over there I even signed-up for an account. For now I'm just testing the waters over there at wordpress.com and as for blogger.com it will still be my main blog.

    Today I just added a drop down menu for my archives and a new search function using search.blogger.com both scripts I got from "Blogger Hacks The Series" and Cyclelicious.

    Today I'm a bit paranoid, I feel like people I used to talk to are evading me. But then again maybe I'm just paranoid hehehe.

    Now on to a totally different matter...

    Recently I helped a friend of mine create a photo/video blog of his trips around the Philippines (mostly northern parts of the Philippines). Like always I choose Blogger.com as a hosting and I used my favorite template K2 from Blogger-Templates and I just recently added categories for blogger by NETCF2 which to me by far is the best blogger hack/trick around. You can view my friends photo/video blog at www.tripsrun.tk

    Free software liberates Venezuela

    The Philippines Government should be doing this as well...

    From Page 4 of the article: "The Venezuelan revolution is perhaps the
    first revolution in history saved by computer hackers and this is one
    of the reasons the government is so very strong on promoting the use of free software, particularly in public administration." On Page 4,
    the article explains the details of the operation. Cool!
