Akhirnya selesai juga...

Beberapa hari lalu mungkin Anda menjumpai tulisan berjalan dari kiri ke kanan : maaf, tampilannya masih kacau... saya sedang berusaha meluangkan waktu untuk memperbaikinya. Akhirnya selesai juga walaupun masih ada 1 hal yang mengganjal.

Menggunakan Firefox


Menggunakan Maxthon (Engine IE)

Satu masalah itu adalah transparancy gambar berformat PNG (Portable Network Graphics) untuk browser yang menggunakan Internet Explorer. Saya menggunakan Maxthon karena di komputer saya sudah tidak ada lagi browser yang berinisial IE kecuali tinggal enginenya saja.

Ini sudah yang kesekian kalinya saya dipusingkan oleh browser tersebut. Background outer-wrapper template ini adalah warna hitam dengan transparancy 80% berdimensi 1 pixel berulang sehingga harapan saya background utama berupa garis miring selang-seling masih terlihat. Untuk firefox sih tidak ada masalah. Tetapi untuk engine IE yang terlihat warna abu-abu. Saya cari kesana kemari dan saya coba penyelesaian yang ada (solusi menggunakan CSS dan JavaScript) tetapi itu hanya bekerja untuk gambar tunggal, bukan berulang.

Dan katanya sih ini hanya terjadi di IE 6 ke bawah. Saya tidak mencoba install IE 7 atau 8 karena saya sudah malas menggunakannya.

Tetapi ternyata setelah saya lihat statistik, yang menggunakan IE hanya sedikit. Jadi saya simpulkan tidak masalah apabila di IE yang tampil warna abu-abu.

Tentang Template Ini

Template ini sebenarnya adalah Template Dots Dark oleh Douglas Bowman yang saya pindahkan sidebarnya ke sebelah kanan dan sidebar tersebut saya lebarkan dan dibagian bawahnya saya pecah menjadi dua. Pada awalnya template ini menggunakan resolusi 800x600 tetapi kemudian saya rubah ke standar 1024x768. Lebar template ini adalah 1000 pixel. 24 pixel sisa screen saya asumsikan untuk keperluan vertical scroller.

Gambar background dan header saya buat sendiri. Sedangkan sebagian besar warna dan jenis tulisan masih sama seperti aslinya.

DOM Inspector is not compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.14

This evening my browser was automatically updated into 2.0.0.14. This is good because I read news that Firefox 2.0.0.13 has some flaws.

But a few minutes ago when I needed to investigate about html codes on a website, DOM Inspector is not available on Tools Menu. So I checked on Add-ons, and it says that DOM Inspector extension is not compatible with 2.0.0.14 version.



I am really upset with this. I use DOM Inspector a lot. I hope there will be newly updated DOM Inspector that compatible with this newest software version.

Sorry Mr. Gates, your IE is in Recycle Bin !

Dear, Mr. Bill Gates...

I am sorry if the title is too rude for you, I hope you don't mind and I hope you don't take it personally. I know you are a wise man, and I know your history very well. Personally, I'm one of your fans.

Mr. Gates, I'm trying to be honest. I knew you since I was 13. There was only DOS in a 5¼ inch diskette which people carried anywhere. As a little kid, I wanted to know everything, so I bought a diskette too, asked my friend's brother to fill it with DOS and some games. A few years later, I had my own computer. It wasn't really my computer, my father bought it for my brother because he needed it for his study in a college. So, I intensively tried some programming languages.

When it came into BASIC, I found an info that it was created and developed by yourself, alone (I hope it was true). But BASIC, and also other 3rd party application such as Wordstar, Lotus, weren't bundled with DOS, so my brother had to find them elsewhere. It wasn't easy to get them. You know my country very well, all information - especially about technology - was very slow and needed a hard work to get "the latest".

After you launched Windows 3.1, it was really a miracle. And computer dealer were very happy because they had something new to sell : mouse and harddrive. :D Usually I only saw a console with A:\> prompt. And I really loved Windows 3.1 User Interface, really friendly and easy. I only needed to move the cursor and click. While my right hand did that, my left hand could crawl other places (don't ask me where :D ).

Mr. Bill Gates, it was really a precious moment. You came into this world as a gift. You made me understand computer very well. Your products spread anywhere like a virus.

Along with that, naughty guys tried to do something bad using your products. Sorry if I write "using" here, because they were really users like me. I hope you understand that I'm on both sides. I don't want to blame them because they really help you to find out the weakness of your products. They had helped you developed newer, stronger, and better products. And you just enjoy it because you really make money from it. Until now, I'm still wondering why you don't give them few bucks. And you never give a thankful statement on your website too.

And even after Windows 2000 era, you shipped Windows XP Home Edition with great GUI improvement. But then I disappointed because you only allowed 5 connection at a time. You said it's for our safety. But you bundled Internet Explorer since Windows 98, it's a weak product because day by day my computer got infected and it was turned into a nice home for viruses.

After that, you allowed 10 concurrent connections on Windows XP Professional, but the price went up almost twice. Mr. Gates, you were a wise man, only for that thing you charged us almost twice ! And you also launched other Windows family products.

What the heLL happened with you, Mr. Gates ? Why didn't you just launch an OS with all capabilities ? Is it about the money ?

After reading some materials, it's known that you already did that since Windows 2000.

Sorry if I'm not your admirer anymore.

Mr. Gates, last night the XP could not boot anymore. Before that, I noticed in task manager there were some IEXPLORE.EXE running. At that time, I didn't run Internet Explorer manually. And neither automatically nor automagically set up to run. I also never put IE in schedule, because I always turn off scheduler. And when the XP couldn't boot anymore, I had to reinstall because it really can not be fixed. It was really wasting my time.

And this morning I tried all the best I can to remove IE. It's really unfair that IE can not be uninstalled. So I just put IEXPLORE.EXE on the list of disallowed application in Group Policy Editor and delete its folder from Program Files. And maybe I will also do that for bundled Outlook, Windows Messenger, Remote Desktop, Net Meeting, and Windows Media Player.

I'm sorry if now I turn the "B" into "E", add "v" after that, and throw the last "l". So, Mr. BEvill Gates, for old time sake, for all those precious moments, I'm asking you to be a good man again. I heard you stop supporting for XP on 2009, and you had started to sold the buggy Vista since 2007. And you also have had a plan to replace Vista with Vienna on 2011. Please, stop that crap. And stop chasing people just because they don't use your original / licensed OS.

You have had enough money now. Are you afraid that you will not be able to make money by building open source software ?

Wait a minute... I forgot to tell you. My wife clicked "Empty Recycle Bin" this evening. Sorry for that Mr. Gates. The IE is now gone forever.

Have a nice day, Mr. Gates...

Create Screenshot of Website from within Firefox !

My computer had been infected with viruses but I didn't do anything to fix that because I was too busy. Until last night, it can not enter windows normally. Even in safe mode always automatically rebooted over and over. So I decided to reinstall my windows. But that's not what I'm going to tell you. :D

After successfully reinstall, the first time I did was installing my favorite browser, Firefox. And because I forgot to backup the extensions, I should download them again.

I browsed all extensions, maybe I could find new things. And surprisingly, I found many extensions that I couldn't imagine it can run within browser before.

On every review, I always include screenshot of the website. Do you know how I did that ? I open the website » press F11 to go fullscreen » press Print Screen to capture it » Open Photoshop » create new » Paste » Remove vertical scrollbar on the right » Save » Upload. After that you will see captured image, usually floated on the top right of starting paragraph.

But then I found FireShot.

FireShot is a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages. Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers. It's possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured. Screenshots can be uploaded to server, saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

I was freezed for a moment and scream out loud (in my heart, :D ) : This is what I'm looking for !

A long time ago I did admire Opera because of its ability to view screenshot of opened websites when hovering tabs. And there are
some websites providing similar functions. Then I tried to find application to do that, but then I was hopeless because there's no free application.

This extension really saves my life. And even more... it can save whole portion of a website although it's unseen (need to scroll horizontal or vertical to see it).

So, the old way is not usable now. It's shorted into : open the website » right click and choose Fireshot - Take Screenshot (entire page) and ... » Save... » Upload.

From 9 steps down to only 4 steps. But I think it's only 3 steps, since Save... is only sub menu of Fireshot - Take Screenshot (entire page) and ....

Very handy and really a time saver, isn't it ?

But, when I tried to Edit (not directly save) to add some notes, firefox got errors and should be closed. Maybe this feature still have bugs.

And I feel the menu is too long. But that's ok, I only need to capture and save. That's it.

This extension is very useful ! Believe me !
