First the RAM died, got a new one, plugged it in and it didn’t want to boot up properly. Then I had to reset the BIOS to default setting and then it worked.

After the successful boot up, my internet connection didn’t want to work. I tried everything up to using winsox and everything. Still didn’t work. I had to hijack my brother’s network card and then it worked.

A week later, it died again. I was frantic and almost cracked my head on the wall. In the end I realise it was the modem problem. Guys, you are experiencing Limited Connection/No connection and you are using ethernet connection, this is the solution.

Turn off your modem using their on/off button and then off the mains. Then unplug the power adaptor or your modem n leave it off for a minute. Plug everything back in and turn it on.

It should work nicely.

Like how was I suppose to know what in the world is a ntldr file? After much thought, I think I realised the cause of the error. It was my virtual world I made last night to rectify my problematic game. What made it worse, I couldn’t log into the Safe Mode to deactivate the virtual mode. Smart.. I know.. I should have made a manual switchover button/ command that I can access through the MSDOS.

I had tried calling for my Technical Geek of a brother but as usual, 8am is way too early for the hibernating walrus to wake up. It was a panic attack as I scrambled to my laptop and Google the answer to the error. Most of the helps made it worse until I read one of the forum posts.

Below was how I solved my missing ntldr file:

(only for Windows XP)

1. Put in your Windows XP CD and restart your PC
2. Once they boot up from your CD by pressing F8 once it hits the boot up screen.
3. Next you should see a blue screen with Windows XP logo on the top bar. (the process may take a while) Press ‘R’ for Recovery Console
4. You will be moved into DOS. A screen will ask which windows installation you’d want to repair. In my Case its 1, press ENTER.
5. Type the Administrator password, and then press ENTER.
6. Type in cd \ and press ENTER.
7. Type Map and press ENTER.
8. Take down which drive is your CD-ROM. for example if e:\ is your CD-ROM, than that is your drive.
9. Type in the below codes:
   1. copy drive:\i386\ntldr c:\  (eg. copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\)
   2. copy drive:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
10. If you are prompted to copy Press Y.

NOTE: In these commands, there is a space between the ntldr and c:\, and between ntdetect.com and c:\.

Then I reboot my PC and its back to normal!! Wee…

Oh yeah if you are using Deamon Lite Tools Virtual CD-ROM, disable it every time you have finished using it, else the same error may occur. But in my case, I have to disable my Virtual World that I had programmed so meticulously last time.. hehehe

Blackheads are caused by dirt and grime clogging up the opening of your pores. There is no permanent removal of blackheads as it will always reappear. But there is a very simple and cheap way to get rid of blackhead.

Everyday, preferably by the end of your day, rinse your face with warm water before cleansing your face. If you have time, place hot towel over your face (make sure it is not too hot that you scald your face) for 5mins. This will enable your pores to open.

Using a facial scrub like St Ives or any brands that have those natural fruits in them (eg. apricot, avocado), squeeze a healthy amount like 2cm onto your fingertips. Then gently scrub your face for 5mins, concentrating especially onto the badly affected areas.

Once you are done, rinse and pat dry. The process will take a few days before the really stubborn blackheads disappear.

I’ve been doing a few research on how to get rid or at least lessen the appearance of cellulite on our body. I’ve found quite a few helpful tips which works and other expensive ones to get rid of cellulite.

Well according to my experience, taking a flight of stairs everyday as a form of exercise does wonders on the cellulite on your bum. Its much better if you could tighten your bum as you climb up and down the stairs. You will experience somewhat of a bum cram for a few days as you continue your regime but trust me, it works.

Next, you will have to exercise a healthy dose of diet supplement. You don’t need to buy all those expensive vitamins but just add more vegetables and fruits into your meals. Also cut down on your junk food and all those unhealthy food as you’d want to reduce the fat intake so those ugly cellulite won’t come back with a vengeance.

I have tried scrubbing my bum with a normal body scrub brush since a good blood and lymph circulation will indeed reduce the fats from clogging up on one area only. It’s cheap and very relaxing, plus it also cleans away the dead skin cells to make way for new skin cells to appear.

Well if you wish to go lazy and not exercise, you can always splurge your cash on cellulite creams, cellulite hose (I think I’ll get that) or go to a spa and get it removed.

I know it is late for this idea I just had. It was suppose to be an idea for a Christmas present but since that is a tad too late, I’d suggest this new idea for a birthday gift instead.

I love going creative on my presents and gifts and I always find myself going all the way to make my gift impressive even up to the wrapping. If you are like me, love to have something different for your gifts, I’d suggest to make a fancy unique design and then print them out as custom mouse pads.

It is simple, easy and cheap way to make unique gifts for your friends and family.

Adsense Filter Ads is used to filter out the Ads that are either priced at a low range per click or page view that will only give you a few cents and also to block out Ads that had been blacklisted by Google, inevitably wasting your time.

I have used AdsBlackList.com to generate my websites competitive filtering ad lists and had to delete all the duplicated sites before putting it on Google Adsense Competitive Filtering Ad.

Google AdSense Competitive Ad Filter

Unfortunately Google only allowed 500 sites to be filtered so I couldn’t input all of my 597 sites. For those who are interested in the lists of sites I have came up with, you can copy them and paste it on your own Adsense account.

Ugh.. and never try to work while you’re having a bad cold and under the influence of cough medicine. I tried to work during my sick hours and unfortunately the only I managed to do was to stare at a sentence for 15mins, trying my best to comprehend the meaning.

Anyway I am recovered now and ready to blast at everyone. Well not fully recovered since I still couldn’t recall all the important details that I had chucked into my memory corner months back.

I did my own Malaysia passport picture and managed to save Rm12/ Rm10 for 4 passport photos. Most probably know that with more photo printers out in the market, it only take a few years or perhaps even weeks before users like me take the full advantage of the technologies we have at hand. I only wasted my ink, an A4 photo paper to get my 20pcs of passport size photo.

Steps to make your own Passport Photo.

1) Take a picture of your family members on a white plain background, preferably. Or if you don’t have a white background, get a plain colored wall of any color and snap your photo.

2) Load your picture into your computer. Open up Adobe Photoshop and open the picture.

3) Using a magnetic lasso tool, trace the outer part of your model (family member) until all of the outer part of your model is traced out. Then copy it (Ctrl C), open a new canvas and paste (Ctrl V) the copied picture into the new canvas.

4) Do some editing of your new picture like erasing some unwanted lines. If the picture is too dark, you can always edit the brightness by going to your top navigator bar: Image–> Adjustments–> Brightness/Contrast. Adjust the brightness and contrast as you wish.

5) Now unlock your background found in the Layers Window by double clicking on the Background Layer. Click on the paint bucket tool and set your foreground color to this hex number #096F96. Now fill the background layer with this color.

6) Now that is done, save the file both in Psd and Jpeg format. Let’s name this file as model.psd and model.jpeg.

7) Close all the canvases in the window and open up your model.jpeg. Make a new canvas of a A4 size format. Now this will be quite tricky.

On the empty A4 canvas, Press Ctrl R, to activate the ruler mode. Now you can see the rulers on both axis. Right click on the ruler and choose the option “cm“.

9) Going back to model.jpeg canvas, Press Ctrl A to select all and copy the image, Ctrl C.

10) Now head back to your A4 canvas and paste the image. Don’t panic if it’s too big. Bring your model.jpeg copied image to the end of the ruler where the 0cm dimensions are. Press Ctrl T, freeform transformation, click on the corner edge of the picture and press the SHIFT button. Scale down your picture until you have a height of 5.5cm.

11) Click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Shift your picture to the left by using your arrow keys on the keyboard and position it as how you would want your picture to look in your passport. Don’t worry about the picture being out of the canvas.

12) Once you are satisfied with how it will look, use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and click on the top edge of the picture where the ruler meets and drag it until you have reached the dimension of 5.5cm height and 4cm width.

13) Copy the picture and paste it on the canvas again. Delete the original one you did just now and keep repeating the paste instruction until you are satisfied with the amount of picture you wanted.

14) Arrange your pictures nicely with s bit of border for cutting.

15) Now save that A4 canvas as a jpeg file. Print it out and there you have it, your very own passport size photos! See the sample of my younger sister’s photo I did below.

I do agree on his opinion is adding videos to certain blog posts to make the post more interesting and getting about to learning how the traffic of a website works is a must if the blogger is heading into a full time blogging profession.

However the article has forgotten to input certain aspects like having the basic knowledge of picture editing and basic website designing. Picture editing is very important for all website owners since the pictures they post could be taken by other users and repost it under their name instead of the original graphic designer. Thus, adding in a watermark on all your pictures is a must to stop the pictures being recirculated for others usage. Adobe Photoshop is one of my favourite software to edit and create new designs.

Basic knowledge in website designing and programming is a must for bloggers. Ask any bloggers or website owners about debugging errors and they will sure to inform you that almost every month, there is bound to have some errors popping in on their website. I’ve had my fair share of my website creating errors especially every time my WordPress platform upgraded itself. Editing the errors can be a chore and a lot of hassle so it is advisable for all website owners and blogs to learn a thing or two about HTML and PHP codes.

To make website programming editing easy, I have used a free software called Notepad ++. Sure you can always use the normal Notepad software found in your Accessories but Notepad ++ shows the line numbers, coding colors to make your debugging life more easier. You can easily get the free software from CNET.

I had followed and marked all the wires to their connection but when I inserted the the new wires to their original connection, the cooling fan and air con fan turned on without the car being keyed to “ON”. In this case I knew that I had bypassed the relay.

No matter how I tried the fans insist on being on. Now I have to recheck the relay and the trace the whole circuit in case I accidentally put the relay on NC (normally close) circuit. I hate it.. So hate it.

Anyway I have to head back to the car now. In the meantime, those who wishes to get an insurance home and do not know where to get the best home insurance quote, please drop by at the link before mentioned. Insuring your home is a must since you may never know when a disaster may hit your house and fire accidents are nasty.

Gravatar is a shorter name to its orignal, Globally Recognized Avatars. It conjures up an avatar/ icon/ picture of the user whenever the user has left a comment in a blog, website or community forums. It creates a more closer community to see an avatar of the user instead of just plain words. In fact, it distinguishes the user from others, making each user unique.

How to know if Gravatar is present in website I’m in?

It’s simple. Click on the comment link to leave a comment in the post/website. Just fill up the form you see there and leave your comments. Once your comment is approved by the admin, you can see the avatar/icon placed in the comment you had left. See below for sample.

If there are comments left by previous visitors, you can easily detect the Gravatar plug-in by looking at the icons given randomly on each comment user. If the user has an account with Gravatar, his own unique avatar/icon will pop up instead of the normal random icon. You can view it below.

How to get my Own Unique Gravatar?

Just visit www.gravatar.com and register yourself in. It only takes less than 5 minutes to register and upload your picture in. Simple!
