Back in November 2006, my wife and I had moved into our new house and certainly as a Software Programmer myself, I’m gonna need to have Internet connection at home.

Reading lots of complaints made about how TMnet Streamyx handles their new applications have making me rather worried in getting my Streamyx. While most of the TMNet users did get their Streamyx at acceptable time of completion, some might just experienced the contrary.

One case, my brother in Seremban had waited 6 months just to have the broadband available at his house even though his neighbours had it since ages. In another situation, a friend of mine staying in Kota Damansara had waited 1 year and half to get Streamyx when his uncle house located just few hundred meters away had already have broadband at home. Absurd?

I will describe the methods of how I’ve gotten my Streamyx in the fastest of time.

Few months ago, I was looking for a good water filter for my house.

After reading all the information I can actually find on Malaysian websites, I was horribly confused on which one should I get. So, I narrowed down the selection to 3 types of water filters:

• Waterco
• Blondal Hydroguard
• UE-Tec

Why did I choose the latter? I will share the experience behind it.

I’ve created a web login page derived from Window XP login screen.

The page is designed fully in CSS fluid table-less layout. I did not check for all browser compatibility. But as far as I know, it should be displaying properly with Firefox 1.5+ and Win IE5.5+.

To see demo page, click here.

You can download the source with its auxiliary files here.

I’ve done it.

I had a slight problem when installing this wordpress on my server. I realised that the .htaccess file just isn’t working properly.

After a quick check on my httpd.conf, it seemed that apache just wouldn’t parse the .htaccess file inside my wordpress folder.

A very fast way to solve the problem is to open the httpd.conf file and add these lines (configure the path based on your server setting. Mine was “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”) :

<Directory “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

Also, remember to restart your apache server for the new setting to take effect.

I learned it.
