One more post before going to Pahang for International Pahang River Rafting Expedition
I would like to share one more software, for me its really usefull, when I want to upload bunch of pictures to my online gallery at http://www.farhanfaisal.com/gallery/. The software will resize all images in a specific folder into size that you want.
You can download the tool here. The nice thing is, the software is just 524kb in size, you can easily fit in your thumbdrive as your tools.
Download now and give it a try

Eventhough VMware have release free version of the player, called
Vmware Player, you can just open a virtual machine, not creating a new one.
With Vmxbuilder, you can create a new virtual machine, easily. This is a batch command, using command prompt, and only for Windows.
There were also some few websites that have web-based interface to create a new virtual machine, and all of them are for both platform, windows and linux.
Havva good try!

I had a problem previously on how to access my server control panel, that runs on port 2222, that was blocked by my network administrator. There is an option to access it, through ssh tunnel. This can be done using putty ssh client in windows, and command line ssh in Linux.
For sure for ssh tunneling, you would need a ssh account, anywhere.
In windows

You just need to connect to your client as usual, but before that, please take note about tunneling. You need to mention the local and remote port to the destination server.
For Linux user
For linux user, ssh tunneling can be done just with a single command line.
# ssh -L 2222:budihost.com:2222 user@budihost.com
The left port number will represent the local port, and the right side is the remote port you want to access.
After that, just fire up your browser, and point to http://localhost:2222. WALLA!
You need to bare in mind about few things that you need to consider. You cannot do ssh tunneling for a port number below 1024 unless you logged in into ssh account as root. Only root user can bind to a port below 1024.
Cheers

I just noticed an immediate increase bandwidth in one of my sponsored hosting website, www.alif.com.my. When I check the referer, I finds out there is one website who put my radio.blog into his website. He is feeding his visitor with my bandwidth.
So, I fire up google and search for “php how to check referer”, I found the hacks to solve it. This script will actually check for referer before it loads. Specify your own server, replace www.mysite.com. If the request was not from www.mysite.com, it will just display, “Nice try”
< ?php
if ( eregi ( "www.mysite.com", $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) )
{
// do something
}
else
{
echo "Nice try";
}
?>
Now, the website cannot view the radio blog in his website. Instead, there is a message comming out

I found an article about how Google positions their search result and the ads in a way that it is so effective. This feature will for sure attract the advertiser to invest in Google AdWords..
The arrangement made a F-shape area, where user will browse from the left page, vertically, searching for pictures or keywords that they are looking for, and then move to the right side for any additional information.
