I just upgrade my firefox from version 1.07 ( I know it’s quite old ) to firefox 2.0

Smooth download and nice impression

“I just Feel like use Opera” in first touch.

Then I try to see add-ons for Firefox 2.0

Impressive, first sight is Blog tool named Performancing

Even though the review not so good I decide to install it.

After install I just confuse, how to access that stuff till I found small icon near the tray.

Launch account wizard, fill some information then try add this posting.

Right now I just have problem with inserting picture, still try to insert but I can’t wait to see the result

Download file from internet is fun, it’s make software distribution easy, hassle free for me

The problem come when our download manager not working as expected, cookie, session etc that validate downloading process force me many times to do old fashion way for download .

After reading blog ( I forgot the link ) , I get software name for helping me to get file from sun.com or oracle.com that require authentification before download allowed.

This software is plugin for firefox

Installation process same as other plugin for firefox

Try login to yahoo mail

I have use freebsd since version 4.7 out . So far I’m happy with the box.
I’m rarely doing make world, only if needed .

Many friend of me ask about possibility replace freebsd to something famous like Linux, solaris etc but I don’t

Why ?

I’m satisfying customer , why I must move to other os when I see no problem with existing one.

Technology built to help us not controlling us, I’m eager to turn my cellular phone into silent or meeting mode for same reason when I have to sleep.

Inovation is a must but must be balancing.

So, whats the moral of story?

Learning and always update your knowledge but no need to “crash” your good stuff.

I like read blog, very interesting to see someone posting “unique” approach to solve their spesific problem after hours, days even month.

Longitude and latitude cordinat

Well, further googling give a few interesting place :

The best way to learn language programming is write the code itself.

Many times I see that sentence

I take learning by doing model plus copy paste

Beside reading manual, forum, chat as place to search for code I like this one :

Krugle

Krugle approach is very sweet.

Krugle offer three tabs:

1. Code
2. Tech Pages
3. Projects

I myself like projects result , followed by tech pages then Code ( I know that I’m newbie hahahaha)

Search result for “php ajax” lead me to many interesting place that I never knew .

A search engine for developers. Sweet

Obviously agree!

P.S : If you ask about firefox plugin then it’s your luck day, see the plugin here

DNS, playing big part in internet . When it’s not work or behaves ugly nothing you got than famous message ” Can’t resolve hostname ” or ” Unable to find IP address of …. ”

I used to use my freebsd dns server or Linux dns server in the office but when it come to travel time and your ISP DNS not working then I need a solution for my windows XP.

MaraDNS

With maradns we can make our surfing activity faster since resolver ask for server that reside in our computer.

Here’s my quick and dirty way:
1. Download maradns(windows version) here

2. Extract the file and move it to C folder , or you may rename the folder to “maradns”
Now you have C:\maradns

3. Go to maradns folder then double click file run_maradns.bat, don’t close the windows

4. Edit your tcp ip setting , put 127.0.0.1 on ”preferred dns server”

5. Good job, you may continue to surf
