How can I configure the default Internet Browser?: "Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http
Expand the tree and move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command, double click on default and set the string to the command you wish to run for Internet addresses, for example

PHP Error - Corrupt

"C:\php\php.exe is not valid Win32 application", that's the error message when i tried run pear.bat. first, i thought it's because there's something error with configuration. So strange, because i didn't change any PHP or IIS configuration recently, and PHP-IIS is still run well, i could still run any php script on IIS. And i tried to find the answer on Google, there's no alot solution there, but i found someone's comment in forum, he said the "php.exe" is corrupt.

well that's enough, at least i knew that the error is not on the configuration. so i have to change it with a new one, re-instal it? oh no, re-install is my last solution hehehehe. So tried to find the source file (php-5.0.2-Win32.zip), extracted the file, found "php.exe", then copied it to the place where PHP is installed (ex: C:/php/). Alhamdulillah, it's work :)

So if you got the same error error message ("C:\php\php.exe is not valid Win32 application") like i got, try to find "php.exe", look at the icon, if the icon is just like other DOS files, it mean your php.exe is corrupt (i didn't notice it at the first .. amateur .. hehehe). The good one will have the same icon like "php-cgi.exe" and "php-win.exe". Then you could do the samething like i did. Good Luck

Btw, i you know what could cause the php.exe corrupt, tell me please!

Microsoft Support Linux

Microsoft support Linux? What happen this? Yes it's true strory, Microsoft said they will support Linux in their Virtual Server 2005, and this support will be available in it's Service Pack 1 at the end of the year. So it will be the first Microsoft product to get Linux support. Is there will be another Linux or other Open Source support from Microsoft? I think it's cool if there is an Intergrated IIS+PHP+MySQL as a sigle package or MS-Access+MySQL.

But i'm sure it's just a Microsoft strategy to limite the Empire of Linux. None, if you say "Microsoft Love Linux" :)

My First Digital Painting

This is the first digital painting I ever made. It made by using Open Canvas on August 2003. Actually I’m not satisfied yet. But this project should be stopped at that point due to lack my spare time. Moreover, I start this project just proofing to my self that I can do the same thing, painting, like my friend on Ilustrators_cozy_corner. So I downloaded the program, and start to painting. And this is the result.

Digital painting for me is only a hobby, because it consume a lot of time, moreover it’s not my field or my speciality. But according to me, digital painting it’s something interesting, and it’s also cheap for them who want to start to learn painting.

So how about my First digital painting, please give me comments!

How to Avoid Macro Viruses

Windows user, especially Ms-Word, must be already familiar with “Macro Virus”. Yes it’s suck when your *.doc document get infected with this virus. This virus could change your original text with something else, change the extension into *.exe, or even you could lost your document. This virus is often spread in public computer service, yeah you could find any other viruses at this place, I say it’s the “kingdom” of viruses :p.

But why, MS-Word document can infected by macro virus? It’s happen because the “macro” feature in MS-Word. Actually this feature is usefull for them who often do repetitve task on MS-Word, because macro can do it automatically for you. But, because this feature is using VB Script, this feature can be used to run malicious scripts (the virus).

So how could we avoid this virus? Change your word processor application? No ..no, we could still this our favorite word processor. Remember, Ms-Word still support other document format, it’s *.RTF (Rich Text Format). This kind format does not support macro, so it’s impossible to the viruses to infect and broke our document. But how abot the layout? Don’t worry the RTF layout will be the same as DOC. As long as you never use the macro feature for your document, your document will be safe until printing process. So from now, get use to save your document into RTF, at least make one backup for your document in RTF, just for in case!.

Shortcut Icon / Favicon

Shortcut Icon or favicon is the icon that show at the address bar or tab bar in your browser. The example? Just like this blog, I used a shortcut icon. So how we add a shortcut to our website? It’s easy, just follow this instruction :

1. Make or edit a picture with size 16x16 pixel.
   
2. Save the file into JPG/GIF/PNG format.
   
3. Upload the file to the server.
   
4. Edit your HTML file, add this tag between “head” tag
   

   <link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/[format_gambar]" href="[url_gambar]" />

   Contoh :

   <link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/png" href="http://geocities.com/ivanoctav/img/icon.png" />

   
   
   at this example I use a “icon.png” file. Your could use any other name of file, but remember to change the type (type="image/..) as the same as your file type.
   
   
5. Test your website with Opera/Netscape/Mozila
   
6. Done!
   

How about IE? We could do the same thing for IE, but IE only support *.ico format, so find image editor that support ICO to make your shortcut icon. If you named this icon as “favicon.ico” and than you upload the file to root server, you don’t have to add any tag between your head tag. Check this out for examples:

http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico
http://www.google.com.hk/favicon.ico

and It’s also work for Netscape/Opera/Mozilla.
But if you named the icon with something else (not favicon), you could use the same way just like instruction no.4.

And try to bookmark or save your website as “favorite” .. the shortcut icon will show also there. It’s cool huh?

musicplasma.com

musicplasma.com, "Discovery Engine" (they said it's search engine, but i don't know to open the URL?), this flash website could show "music map" that relevant wiht our keyword. I've tested with "helloween" as a keyword ... wow, the result is quite accurate and satisfying. This website it's almost the same as katrOO, but katrOO is a real search engine. Tri it!!

My Girl

Let sing with me ....

My Girl
(The Jacksons Five)

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

I've got so much honey
the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than
the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Ooooh...
I don't need no money,
fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
one man can claim
Well I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)

Can't Take My Eyes Off You

(The 4 Seasons)

You're just too good to be true,
can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch,
I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived,
and I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true,
can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare,
there's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak,
there are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I can feel,
please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true,
can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby,
and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm a lonely night
I love you baby,
trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby,
don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby,
now that I found you stay
(I love you baby, trust in me when I say)

Let's Hang On!

(The 4 Seasons)

There ain't no good in our goodby-in'
True love takes a lot of tryin' oh I'm cryin'

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go girl we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on hang on hang on
To what we've got

You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(breakin up) I wish you'd never said it
(breakin up) No no we'll both regret it

That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune baby but you know it stands
(for your love) A love to try and bind ya
We just can't leave behind us

Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
(think it over and) Stay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go girl we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on hang on hang on
To what we've got

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd pay any price to get in good with you
(patch it up) Give me a second turning
(patch it up) Don't cool off while I'm burning

You've got me cryin dyin at your door
Don't shut me out let me in once more
(open up) Your arms I need to hold you
(open up) Your heart oh girl I told you

Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
(think it over and) Stay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go girl we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on hang on hang on
