Running WordPress Locally As A Diary
It kinda struck me at the start of the week. I have always plan ahead. I have always write down what I want to do, set priorities, allocate resources and time to do them. But somehow, my target either falls short or I was exhausted before I even know what I had planned and did last month. I really need a diary to keep track. [Read more…]

Differences Between POP3 and IMAP
POP3
When using your free POP3 email account, mail is first delivered to the email provider’s servers. Your email program (e.g. Outlook, Firebird, Eudora etc) then downloads these messages to your computer, and you can have the option to choose whether to leave the messages on the servers or have them deleted.
The main advantage of POP3 is that you can you can read email messages when you are not connected to the Internet. [Read more…]

Google Translator: Translate Text, Web Pages and Languages
Google translate helps you with translating any text from one language to another. It’s free and you can try it out here. It had helped me countless times in translating russian, german, spanish, french and even arabian blogs and forums to english or chinese so I can read and understand them properly.
Anti Spam Strategy
I have been managing my websites and having seperate emails for each different domain. The bad thing about emails is that you are faced with the possibilities of getting spam emails from spammers. And let’s be honest, those spammers are not stupid people, and they know how to use whatever proxy or blackbox they have back in their underground secret tunnel to send us their useless piece of garbage in their best possible ways [Read more…]
How To Reset Rapidshare and Megaupload Download Timer
Rapidshare and Megaupload are both popular online file storage provider. Thanks to that, lots of software, movies, comics and animes are hosted with them which attracts lots of downloaders due to their contents.
As a user, you can choose between the premium or free account to download these files. Usually, people just choose the free option. But the problem is that there are limits and usually you have to wait between files if you are downloading large ones. [Read more…]
SCRIPT or IFRAME Tags
Both <script> and <iframes> are HTML tags. However, there are some differences between them:
– IFRAME tags are recommended if you are coding them directly to your page. IFRAMEs load independently of the page and that means faster page load times. The major drawback of IFRAMEs is that it does not support expandable rich media, combo tags or contextual networks (such as Adsense or YPN).
– Script tags are recommended if you are placing them in any other adserver or as a default in another network interface. Script tags supports expandable rich media, combo tags and contextual networks (such as Adsense or YPN). They will work fine when coded to the webpage, but they sometimes cause a minor lag for the user who’s loading the web page since it’s loaded inline with the page.
However, so far, this site has only Google Adsense which uses the <script> tag. Millions of people are using Google Adsense to monetize their website and the side-effect of that minor lagging time in serving script tag is pretty negligible.
