Experience Mac OS X in Windows XP
Jun 10th
Simply irresistible. This is what I felt when I got the chance to work with a macintosh computer. This pricey piece of machine looks really cool on it’s milky color and an eye-catching well rounded rear part of the display adds to it’s pleasing appeal. When you start it up you will notice the icons located at the bottom, Apple call this the DOCK. That is one feature of MAC that I really love the most, especially if you hover your mouse cursor over it, you will see how beautiful the animation of the icons go. Since then I constantly search for a program that will make my boring desktop to look like a MAC.
My prayers were answered when Chris Kite, the developer of Flyakite OS X releases it’s software for free, yes you heard it right it’s for FREE. Flyakite OS X is a transformation pack for computer running Windows XP, the software will resemble the looks of a Mac OS X environment on your PC. Installation is a breeze, it will only take a minute or two to finish the entire setup process. This is a pretty much better alternative since I don’t have the dough to spare to buy a MAC. With the help of this amazing freebie, experiencing Mac OS X is within my reach. Hope you like it as well.
Faster Firefox
Jun 5th
There is a way to make our beloved firefox load pages much faster. Some of the sites are
Here’s how in 3 simple steps:
1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining, network.http.proxy.pipelining, and network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 8.
This means it will make 8 requests at once. There is no point setting it higher then 8 as it is capped at 8 max. [The default value for this setting is 4]
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″.
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
I wasn’t able to test it using a dial-up connection, but it is worth trying. Enjoy!
Exhausting!
Jun 3rd
I’ved started last week putting up my first blog/web site. I am so fired up to post my first blog entry as random thoughts hover my mind. “I can make it published in no day at all” talking to myself with a smirking smile. I immediately start and look for a free webhosting company, luckily I got one right away.
Sitting beside me is my co-worker. She is my tutor as well. I owe everything that I know about wordpress to her. I was able to grasp the basics of PHP and CSS with her help.
Getting Started. It was my restday and I have at least a day to finish my site. ehhemmm. Well after 8 hours of sitting in front of my computer, I accomplished nothing. 
I thought it was easy, I really thought it was. It cost me time looking for a template alone. Aside from that, a lot of problem rose such as my database being corrupted, uploading theme that is not widget-ready and looking for another free webhosting site. whew! I recalled what I have said, I just took a deep breathe and shook my head in frustration.
After one week of grueling experience, I am now learning this step by step. HOPEFULLY with my new template and free web hosting service, Now I have the chance to have my site published in two weeks. Wish me luck
