Sigh

2011-08-01T10:18:00.001-07:00

Oh how I wish that life had control buttons: play, pause, rewind, fast forward, even a delete one also. There are so many things I wish I could take back: make disappear from my life, but I can't.

In my life there are so many shapes & weird patterns, but never a straight line. Patterns & shapes represent confusion, hurt, additions but never subtractions. I guess the root of all this mess is....choice; the freedom & right to decide on what to do or say. When will there be a straight line, one path, just two points?

If it is that, at the root of all this is a decision, what can I do to reach to the point of making such? Selah. How long? Is it that I am fearful? If so why? I pray that I do what needs to be done quickly.

How to password protect your site

2011-01-27T12:45:00.000-08:00

this requires two files: one for the username(s) with an encrypted password and one with the path to the password file.

1. create a new file and name it ".htpasswd"
2. go to http://www.4webhelp.net/us/password.php and enter the desired username and password
3. in it put the username and password, copied from step 2
4. create another file and name it ".htaccess"
5. copy and paste:

AuthUserFile /path-to-htpassword-file/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Login Details"
Require valid-user

remember to change "path-to-htpassword-file" to the path you have to your .htpasswd file
"Login Details" can be changed to whatever title you would like

save both files and put in the desired folder of choice

i got this error while installing windows suite on a netbook. its caused from a missing front-page extension.

you will need to download this (fp40ext.cab) file. this file can be found on a windows xp cd also in the i386 folder.
install 7-zip. here is the link: http://www.7-zip.org/
extract the extract the contents of fp40ext.cab
copy the fp4autl.dll to "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\"
right click the file and go to the 7-zip option and click "extract here". you may have to do a restart here.

after that, you can continue with the installation of microsoft office

DB Error: extension not found

2010-12-07T07:31:00.000-08:00

I had this error and for about two weeks could not find the problem. I uninstalled lamp, reinstalled it several times and still had the same problem. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 as my O.S. Instructions follow same

From my research I found out that the mysql.so extension was not written to the php.ini file, so this is what I did to correct the error:

1. gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
2. ctrl+f and enter "extension"
3. look to see if ";extension=mysql.so" is in the file
4. if it is, remove the semi-colon. the semi-colon represents a comment so it is actually commenting out the extension that is needed

in my case though, the extension was not written to the file at all, so if this is the case do this
5. copy and paste "extension=mysql.so" within the section for "Dynamic Extensions"
6. restart the apache server: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

that should do the trick.

Review of Rihana's "Loud"

2010-11-30T13:07:00.000-08:00

I listened to the album, and I think its a good album overall, compared to her last album. This album just has eleven (11) tracks and I think that the album could be listened to from start to beginning, which is what I think makes up the component of a good album. The album mostly has a party/techno (pop music) feel to it. Not sure what she was going for.

One thing I really dislike though, is the repition in the songs.

Here is my take on each track.

01 - S&M - Don't know what s or m stands for. She basically talks about being good at being bad. Yeah, I know. :) She speaks about loving her sex and how she likes it.

02 - What's My Name (Feat. Drake) - This is one of the hit singles from the album which everybody should know. This is another song about sex. Gist of the song, sex was good and so the question is asked, "What's my name?".

03 - Cheers (Drink To That) - I think this song will be the next hit single from her album. It's a song you would want to hear after a stressing day or week, lets drink to something. Your boss ;), wife, your work on a hold, etc. Don't let the situation get you down, drink to it.

04 - Fading - Didn't really like this song but, it talks about forgetting a person; the person fading away. I guess the person was not treating her good.

05 - Only Girl (In The World) - Now this is the song that I like. I hear it and I want to move...like a white person. It makes you want to jump and just let go. Its good. I like the mix that she uses also. A lot of girls want to feel this way and I hope that you do find that male that makes you feel that way. Just a point to note (not trying to take the spotlight) males want to feel that way too. I know I sure do...

06 - California King Bed - This song slows down the tempo of the album. I don't think this song should be taking literally. I think the bed is used as a figure of speech to suggest the distance that exist between persons. It would seem as though, persons are expecting a change but there is none due to other issues that exist and so the analogy is used of a king bed to suggest size and space.

07 - Man Down - She tried a reggae thing. Its better than most other reggae songs that I have heard. She uses the straight kick and the bass groove, even though its a keyboard bass, is not bad. I think she handled herself good in terms of the vocals on the rhythm. Message in the song? It sound like she killed someone and is on the run.

08 - Raining Men (Feat. Nicki Minaj) - From the beginning, the song sounds like one that Beyonce did, Diva. That was the first thing I picked up. In this song she doesn't worry about the MANY men that come at her, hence its "raining men". Why doesn't she worry? She has it: looks, money, fame, etc.

09 - Complicated - Nice song. It just talks about a person making it hard for another to love them. Its not that one isn't trying but there is confusion with mixed emotions. One is weak for the other. So I guess its confession of the difficulty one faces when the heart is engaged and entangled and the person wants to let go. Amen. :)

10 - Skin - I think this song will be heard on Fame 95, being played by Deidra. I think its a song that can be used to set the mood to.... daah dah dee. :D Its a cool song though. Skin is about letting go, giving all, being naked.

11 - Love The Way You Lie (Part II) (Feat. Eminem) - I love this version. It gives me a alternative feel. Its the same song (name) with Eminem but with a different mix and feel. As I said, to me, it has an alternative feel to it. I'm not sure I agree with the message in the song though.

Overall, I think its a good album.

Good job Rihana.

pdo mysql installatin

2010-11-29T14:01:00.000-08:00

Below are the instructions to install pdo extension for mysql

First, install PEAR

sudo apt-get install php-pear

If you get anything about warning, ‘phpize’, this means you need php-dev. To install this simpy put this in the terminal (sudo apt-get install php-dev)

sudo pecl install pdo

Next, install pdo_mysql drivers.

sudo pecl install pdo_mysql

If you encounter the error below,

checking for MySQL support for PDO... yes, shared
checking for mysql_config... not found
configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under
ERROR: `/tmp/tmpRiQ5ax/PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2/configure' failed

Then put this in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

and then sudo pecl install pdo_mysql

You can update the db below as follows:

sudo updatedb

Open the php.ini file:
gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Inside it put these lines at the bottom:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

setting up zend framework on ubuntu

2010-11-29T08:25:00.000-08:00

Download the most recent version from the Zend Framework website and extract it to the /opt folder. To enable us to easily switch out different versions, we will create a symbolic link to this folder (just right click and select the ‘Make link’ option.. name it ‘Zend’)

Next, we will tell php to include the zend framework in the include_path.

sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Add/Change the include_path in to :

include_path = “.:/opt/Zend/library”

Note that I used the symbolic link in the include path.. This way, when there is a new version of ZF, we can just switch out the symlink without having to edit the ini file!
In order to use the zend framework command line tool (/opt/Zend/bin/zf.sh), we need to install the php command line interface (php5-cli) if it is not already installed.

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

Note that the CLI uses a different version of the php.ini file (NOT the one in the apache2 folder but in the cli folder!). We need to tell CLI also where the zend framework directory is located.

sudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
and set:
include_path = “.:/opt/Zend/library”

The final step is to include the path to /opt/Zend/bin in the unix PATH variable (this way, you can use zf.sh instead of /opt/Zend/bin/zf.sh). Edit file named ~/.bashrc (ctrl+h show hidden files). Add the following line at the end:

PATH=/opt/Zend/bin:”${PATH}”

The Zend Framework relies on the apache “rewrite” module. So, go ahead and enable the “rewrite” module using the following command:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Restart apache and that should be it.

custom error popup message with p4a

2010-11-26T14:51:00.000-08:00

i did a customization for a popup message in p4a.

here is the screenshot:

here is the code:

set red border around fields:
function setAsRequiredField( $fieldName ){
        $fieldName->setStyleProperty('border-color', 'red');
        $fieldName->setStyleProperty('border-style', 'dashed');
        $fieldName->label->setStyleProperty('font-weight', 'bold');
    }

remove formating:
function clearErrorFormatting(){
        while ($f = $this->fields->nextItem()) {
            $f->unsetStyleProperty('border-color', 'red');
            $f->unsetStyleProperty('border-style', 'dashed');
            $f->label->unsetStyleProperty('font-weight', 'bold');
        }
    }

sample validating function that passes a message for each field:
function validateScreen(){

        $this->clearErrorFormatting();

        $statusMsg = "";
        $email_validator = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress();
        $notEmpty_validator = new Zend_Validate_NotEmpty();
        $date_validator = new Zend_Validate_Date();
        $regex_validator = new Zend_Validate_Regex('/\d{3}\-\d{3}\-\d{4}/');

        if( $this->fields->title_id->getNewValue() == 0 ){
            $this->setAsRequiredField( $this->fields->title_id );
            $statusMsg .= "Title is required
";
        }

        if( !$notEmpty_validator->isValid( $this->fields->first_name->getNewValue() ) ){
            $this->setAsRequiredField( $this->fields->first_name );
            $statusMsg .= "First Name is required
";
        }

        if( empty( $statusMsg ) ){
            $this->insertMember2();
        } else {
            $this->warning($statusMsg);
        }
    }

the message for each error is concatenated to this variable, $statusMsg, than passed to the warning function for p4a. once it is passed to the function, it show the popup for the error messge.

Current emotion...

2010-11-15T15:15:00.000-08:00

Here I am sitting in a sports bar having a Guiness, trying to relax myself while having a cold drink. There's a lot on my mind, not anything I want to think about.

On one hand, I'm being seen as a liar and one that is dishonest, and on the other hand, I'm supposed to be this sweet person. Isn't that a contrast? :). Are any of those perceptions correct? Only one person can truly tell, me. Do I know? Not sure. Is it that I am unstable? Confused...well, I know I am. Dishonest? Are these things innate? Does doing something once makes it apart of you? Is it that memories never die and so once a person remembers something about you, they think that same thing of you? What is it?

I hope I don't become like my father.

Sadness is what it is now. With time though, it shall fade. When where is true happiness? Can a person truly have that? If so, I want it.

Born gay?

2010-10-08T16:05:00.000-07:00

Saw this post on fb "1
out of every 10 people born are gay. That means 1 out of every 10
people are put down, given bad labels, left alone,put in a minority,
and so much more all for something they didn't ask for. Many gay teens
are turning to suicide as a way of escaping. If you want to tell them
...life will get better, and you respect ...them for who they are, copy
and paste this. Most of you won't, but let's see the 5% who will".

Born gay? That would mean that it is predetermined. Is it really predetermined? For it to be predetermined, wouldn't there have to be some genetics from either or both parents involved in the make-up of the fetus? That would mean that, either or both parents would have gotten it from their parents. Wouldn't that mean that the parents and grand-parents would have to be gay also? What if none of the two generations are gay? How can that be explained?

As for the rest of it, I do agree that they are in a minority group. It is sad.

Doesn't a person who is gay killing them self, dependent on where they live? From what I have seen and heard, a lot of states in America are granting the freedom to gays to get married.

Won't get into much details as I think it will go into definitions of words, freedom for people, the Bible and other things that I really don't know much about.

Use of # or javascript:void()

2010-09-21T08:30:00.000-07:00

correction, use javascript:void(0); having the link will carry you to a page regardless of the return false;

i tested but my cache was not cleared.

Use of # or javascript:void()

2010-09-21T08:15:00.000-07:00

i have tried both. the # makes the page refresh and i didnt want that. i used the javascript:void and it did what i want it to do but then i read somewhere that users wont be able to right click, not that the link would have allowed that. so, this is what i do, i use any link name, e.g. but then i add "onclick = 'return false;'" so it becomes

you can still use the return false even if you call a function. call the function then return false;

2010-09-19T03:24:00.000-07:00

Just scanned through an article awhile ago about what happens to a persons souls after they die (will post the name of the site when I get up, I want to sleep).

It started out by saying that the soul is more complicated than it appears and that there might be about five (5) aspects of the soul.

It said that, when a person dies:
1. their soul may go to Heaven
2. Their soul may go to Hell
3. Their soul may come back in a new born
4. Their soul may go to a person already living or an animal.

This just came to mind. If a person, when dead, has regrets, could this be the evil spirit that captures a person body? Would their regret cause them to become bitter and since they are dead and unable to correct anything, they become evil?

It also suggested that if a person's focus was more on the spiritual, then this person will be more acceptable of death than a person who was caught up in the physical. The person that is caught up in the physical will have a problem leaving the body that they have loved all the days of their life.

If when a person dies, the soul, hypothetically, comes back into a new born, is that a desire or love for the physical?

What really happens after death? Is it important?

For those who are alive, are we living with the soul of another?

What happens to the soul after death?

2010-09-09T06:24:00.001-07:00

This is something that I have always wanted to know. Where does the soul go? What does the soul do? Is it the same thing as a ghost? What is the difference if so?

I have heard stories about ghosts and all. I have heard that it takes a time for people to know that they are dead, how long? Wouldn't it be obvious, assuming that this is what happens, if a person dies and they don't know, they try to touch someone or talk to them and they realize that they can't, that they maybe dead? Can the soul hear? Wouldn't the soul hear, if they can, people talking about them? How long after a person dies can they still hear?

Does the Bible offer any explanation towards this?

As it relates to people who "dream" to people a lot, is it an indication of them knowing or fore seeing danger and warning persons, or them just not resting in peace?

These are some of the things I seek to find out.

jquery wysiwyg editors

2010-09-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

wanted to use a jquery wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor with a new cms. found one that looks ok but then when i clicked on the icon to add an image, it does not have the capability to browse. a user will have to copy the url and paste it into the editor. copying and pasting of the url is from a web site. it does not allow the user to browse their local machine for an image.

i then found out that it does not work in google's crhome browser.

if there is one that allows the user to browse, please let me know.

so i guess its back to using fckeditor.

Blogging from mobile device

2010-09-02T15:28:00.001-07:00

I just found out that I can keep my blog updated by following a few simple steps that allow me to blog from my Blackberry.

I have always had the idea but procrastinated to research and find out how its done.

I got the instructions from here: http://www.blackberryvsiphone.com/mobile-blogging/how-to-blog-via-blackberry-device.

I think that this is so convenient in the sense that there are things that I did, would want to blog about but thought I had to log into by blog account in-order to blog about it. By the time I get home or near a computer, I forget.

My blog should be kept up to date more often now.

quotes to help with success in your business

2010-09-02T12:58:00.000-07:00

taken from Benjamin Franklin's 13 Secrets To Business Success
Then: "Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions."

Now: Life hackers and multitaskers will win the startup war every time.

Then: "Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."

Now: Your modern day business has a lot of moving parts. Devise a system for keeping it all in order.

Then: "Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty."

Now: Shady business practices will come back to bite you.

Then: "Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation."

Now: To ensure a healthy atmosphere, office romance should be handled with care.

Then:"Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing."

Now: Forget the fancy office chair, save that scrap paper and remember to brown bag a lunch.

Then: "Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable."

Now: When things go wrong, take a breath a relax. An occasional yoga class couldn't hurt.

Then: "Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation."

Now: Get it together, and dress to impress.

Then: "Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."

Now: You'll work harder without a hangover. Skipping the fourth cup of coffee couldn't hurt either.

Then: "Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly."

Now: Being straight forward is the best way to connect with customers and co-workers. Leave the slick sales talk at home.

Then: "Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."

Now: Don't let problems fester and follow through once you've set a goal.

Then: "Avoid extreams; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve."

Now: Don't let one aspect of your business overwhelm all others. And when your competitors play dirty, don't take it personally.

install adobe flash player 10.1 beta in karmic

2010-03-04T13:48:00.000-08:00

here is the link that worked for me: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-install-flash-player-101-beta-2.html

the instructions are below though:

sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer

should remove your current installation of Flash. If Flash was installed manually, the plugin should be located in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory, where ~ is the home directory. So, to remove it:

rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Next, download the archive for the new Flash player from here (direct link here), or alternately you can type in a terminal:

wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p2_linux_121709.tar.gz

Make sure the current working directory is the one where you saved the archive and uncompress it:

tar -xzf flashplayer10_1_p2_linux_121709.tar.gz

Next, create the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory (if it doesn't already exist):

mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins

And copy the plugin inside it:

cp install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins

Now restart Firefox and this should be all.

get youtube video id from url

2010-03-02T13:36:00.001-08:00

i had a task to show some youtube videos on a site and had problems reading the entire url due to the # and other characters in a youtube channel. so i wrote my function below to get the youtube video id

/**
    * Return video id for a youtube url
    *
    * @param string $url
    * @return string
    */


    function getYoutubeVideoId( $url ){

        $id_param = "v="; //video id starts after the equal sign
        $id_length = 11; //length of video id
        $id_param_pos = strpos( $url, $id_param ); // get position of v from the video param
        $id_param_pos += 2; //add 2 spaces to get actual video id
        $video_id = substr( $url, $id_param_pos, $id_length ); //gets id from entire youtube url

        return $video_id;

       $length = ( empty( $length ) || $length < 350 ) ? 400 : $length;

       $sentences = explode( ".", $string );
         $intro = "";

         $index = 0;
         $string_length = 0;

         foreach ( $sentences as $sentence ){

             //echo " --- ".$sentence;
             //echo strlen($sentence);exit;

             if( $string_length <= $length ){
                 $intro .= $sentence;
                 $string_length = strlen( $intro );
                 //echo " -- ".$string_length;
                 unset( $sentence );
             } else {
                 break;
             }
             //unset( $sentence );
         }

      /*   while ( strlen( $intro ) <= $length ){
             $intro .= $sentences[$index];
             $index++;
         }*/

         $intro .= ".";

       return $intro;
   }

notes from learning mysql stored procedures

2009-11-30T18:31:00.001-08:00

what is a stored procedure? - it is a set of sql statements that are stored within the database.

Stored procedures advantages

Stored procedure increases performance of application. Once created, stored procedure is compiled and stored in the database catalog. It runs faster than uncompiled SQL commands which are sent from application.

Stored procedure reduced the traffic between application and database server because instead of sending multiple uncompiled long SQL commands statement, application only has to send the stored procedure name and get the result back.

Stored procedure is reusable and transparent to any application which wants to use it. Stored procedure exposes the database interface to all applications so developer doesn’t have to program the functions which are already supported instored procedure in all programs.

Stored procedure is secured. Database administrator can grant the right to application which to access which stored procedures in database catalog without granting any permission on the underlying database table.

Beside those advantages, stored procedure still has its own disadvantages which are bellow

Stored procedures disadvantages

Stored procedure make the database server high load in both memory for and processors. Instead of being focused on the storing and retrieving data, you could be asking thedatabase server to perform a number of logical operations or a complex of business logic which is not the role of it.

Stored procedure only contains declarative SQL so it is very difficult to write a procedure with complexity of business like other languages in application layer such as Java, C#, C++…

You cannot debug stored procedure in almost RDMBSs and in MySQL also. There are some workarounds on this problem but it still not good enough to do so.

Writing and maintain stored procedure usually required specialized skill set that not all developers possess. This introduced the problem in both application development and maintain phrase.

DELIMITER // - changes the delimiter to //
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllProducts() - GetAllProducts() is the name of the stored procedure.
   BEGIN - tells the start of the procedure's workings
  SELECT *  FROM products; - the actual procedure
  END // - changes the delimiter to // and tells the end of the procedure
 DELIMITER ; - changes back the delimiter to a semicolon

this is how a stored procedure is called -

 CALL STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME()

a variable is instantiated in a stored procedure this way: declare variable_name data type(size) default value. eg declare totalProducts int default 0

multiple variables with the same data type can be declared together. eg. declare x, y int default 0

there are two ways to assign values to variables:

1 - using the set keyword - set totalProducts = 39;
2 - using select... into - select count(*) into totalProducts from products

variables have scopes which determine their life span.

variables with an @ are session variables and have a life span until the end of the session.

variables have modes: in, out, inout

to be continued

i had the unfortunate event of not remembering my password for my bb a minute after i had set it. I tried it a couple of times and was told that it was wrong. i googled it and i found out that all i had to do was to enter it the maximum amount of times and it would erase all my data from the phone and then i would be able to use it again.

do you see a problem with that? i do. if my phone gets stolen or lost, all someone will have to do is to enter the incorrect password 10times or the maximum amount of times and then they would be able to use the phone. i thought the phone would be locked but alas, thats not the case. so if this information gets into the hands of some people, it would be detrimental to alot of others in the bb world :)

Zend Studio opens with no menu

2009-11-27T12:17:00.000-08:00

when this happens, the instructions to fix it are here: http://www.zend.com/support/knowledgebase.php?kbid=241&view_only=1 but you can follow them below:

Symptoms

When running Zend Studio:
1. The ZS's main window comes up totally empty.
2. Sometimes the window has some of the frames painted, but the rest of the window is empty.
3. In the empty ZS window the mouse cursor is changing while moving around the window (as if there are objects: like buttons and other objects).
4. There were erratic mouse/window movements reported.

Summary

Zend Studio starts up with various windowing GUI problems in some linux distros, while using the XGL-Compiz/Beryl product.

Cause

1. Incompatibility between the XGL environment, the JRE, and the Zend Studio Client.
2. The decoration in the 3D environment clashes with the Java Runtime and distorts the operation and visualization of the Zend Studio client's window.

Workaround

There are two ways to execute Zend Studio, by running the ZDE script, and by running the runStudio_unix.sh script, both are in the bin directory of zend studio
(usually /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-/bin)

The following workarounds may be used, but there is no guarantee how well or how long it might work for you in your environment.

modification of ZDE script for xgl:

1. Open your ZDE script with your favorite editor
2. add the next line of code at line 1693.
options="$options -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit"

for example:
1693:
1694: debugOut ""
1695: unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
1696: if [ $DO_NOT_FORK ]

becomes:
1693: options="$options -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit"
1694: debugOut ""
1695: unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
1696: if [ $DO_NOT_FORK ]

3. Save the file.

modification of runStudio_unix.sh script for xgl:

1. open the the file in your favorite editor.
2. modify the java execution line,
the line starts with: ../jre/bin/java -Xms16m -Xmx256m -cp...
change it to: ../jre/bin/java -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit -Xms16m -Xmx256m -cp...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
as you can see, the only difference is an extra parameter to the java program.
3. Save the file.

Another solution

the AWT_TOOLKIT environment variable can be set in order for Java to choose a working AWT Toolkit.

export AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"

In most Linux Distributions it's enough to append this line to /etc/profile.

remove hiberfile on windows partition from ubuntu

2009-11-11T15:45:00.000-08:00

as i speak i am using my ubuntu live cd. i am about to install ubuntu 9.10 but i encountered a problem. i had hibernated my windows partition and now i cant perform certain tasks on it. i figure out the problem, i need to remove the hiberfile from the partition to gain access to the partition. i used the code below to perform the function.

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1/ -o remove_hiberfile

if it works you should see something like this:

The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing.

holy ghost gym review

2009-10-11T09:12:00.001-07:00

some time ago i mentioned that i would have started doing reviews on movies and videos, well, this is my first one. its a video from d.j. nicholas.

didnt like the video. i think that these people that produce videos or even coreograph videos in jamaica need help. yes, it tried to convey the message of "gym" and "God" and excercising as it relates to practising of the word but i think the video could have been done differently. at one point, the scenes of them on the mat moving was switching scenes like the lights of a disco in a night club. why?

at the beginning of the video, the girl says, take one but at the same time, d.j. nicholas was already sweating... hmmm

whats up with the umbrellers? if you are working out, thats what you should do but you cyaa.... sorry. im mixing patois and english, i do not think that you be working out and at the same time holding up an umbrella to shade from the sun.

the lyrics were ok. i have grown to expect good lyrics from nicholas. keep that up.

the lady that was adding the thing to the song, what was that???

the ad that was saying, lose sin for free was good. you do not need a credit card, all you need to do is to practise what the word of God says. Good.

i think overall, it was an ok video. i would have done things differently to bring out the same message though.

thinking of going into music video production... if and when i do, hopefully you will see a different in the production of videos from Jamaica.

passing variables in p4a between masks

2009-10-05T06:31:00.000-07:00

i had a problem where i wanted to capture a value from a mask after going to another mask while creating a web application using p4a. i found the method on the p4a forum but it wouldnt work sometimes. i could not figure out what was the problem. it would pass the value the very first time the mask is called but it would not capture it once passed again to the same mask. the puzzled me. i then figured out that p4a is a state application and i would need to clear the previous state if i wanted to capture the new value. i had created a function to clear the state, which i posted on my forum some time ago, which i used but that didnt solved the problem. i checked other applications that i built and the method worked perfectly. i realised that the difference between the application that worked and the one that didnt work was the use of menus to open a mask. the menu function i used was one found from the p4a sample appliction. here is the code.

function menuClick(){
$this->openMask($this->active_object->getName());
}

here is how it is used:

$users = $control_panel->addItem('users')
->setLabel('Users')
->implement('onclick', $this, 'menuClick');

to change the state of the mask, i had to add a line to the menuClick function so that it clears it and displays the correct function.

function menuClick(){
$this->getPrevMask()->destroy();
$this->openMask($this->active_object->getName());
}

if a menu is not used to open a mask then when switching between mask you would only have to use one line in the function, $this->destroy();

hope it is understood and can help someone.

capture form post in ie using php

2009-09-30T12:34:00.001-07:00

for over a week now i have been having the problem of capturing a form post in ie when coding in php. after searching forums, blogs, etc, i have found a solution. frankly, ie must stop use. this method can also be used when the button is an image. so, here is the solution.

if( $_POST['nameOfTextboxt'] || ( $_POST["buttonType"] == "nameOfButton" ) && ( count( $_POST > 0 ) ) ) {

//var_dump( $_POST );exit;
// do whatever you want to do
}

this worked for me

i have loved the look of a mac machine but i cant afford it. from one of the earlier posts on my blog, i said that i had completely switched to linux.

the closest i came to owning a mac was the mac theme i had on my laptop. it was ok, looked good but i grew tired of it after a while and as usual, wanted something new. so i removed it and now im back to the original look of ubuntu. its not that much of an eye candy but thats not why i am using it.

thanks

problem solved

2009-07-27T07:16:00.000-07:00

after weeks of trying to figure out how to get the image in a field from p4a displayed, i finally figured it out. in p4a there are two folders, an uploads folder which contains a tmp folder. when the image is uploaded, it is supposed to put the image in the tmp folder then in the uploads folder.

my problem was that the images were only going in the tmp folder and not in the uploads folder. so after numerous nights, i finally stayed up and was determined to make it work before i went to bed and that i did. it was alot of work but it payed off. i now know why it happened and how to fix it.

after reading the forum and different posts several times, with the toolbar, it does the moving of the image on saveRow(). I had created my own field and therefore wasnt using the save button on the toolbar. so i had to intercept the field when i was doing the save to the db and move the file myself.

the code is posted below:

$filename = $this->newProductImage->getNewValue();
$uploaded_tmp_filename = P4A_UPLOADS_DIR.$this->newProductImage->getNewValue(1);
$uploaded_filename = P4A_UPLOADS_DIR."/".$this->newProductImage->getNewValue(0);

$sequence = $this->imageSequence->getNewValue();
$product_id = $this->dbSourceProduct->fields->oid->getNewValue();

if( file_exists( $uploaded_tmp_filename ) ) {

$sql = "
insert into Image
values ('', '$filename', $sequence, $product_id);
";//exit;
if( P4A_DB::singleton()->query( $sql ) ){
if(!copy( $uploaded_tmp_filename, $uploaded_filename )){
$this->showMessage( "Error uploading file", "error" );
} else {
$this->showMessage("Image was successfully added", "applied");
//$this->doRefreshOriginalPage();
}
}else {
$this->showMessage("Image was not added", "error");
}
} else {
$this->showMessage("File not uploaded", "error");
}

the michael jackson cover up

2009-07-14T07:27:00.000-07:00

i honestly will have to look at the scriptures and get the actual intended meaning of the passage. i dont know about the U.S.A being totally or apart of what would form the beast of the world. i guess the way to find out is if one knows alot about the U.S.A and and therefore match it with what the Bible says because the Bible would give a clear description of what the beast would be. i think i have some research to do.

Exhortation on Psalm 46

2009-07-11T21:06:00.000-07:00

Psalm 46

1.Refuge – a place that one can go to for coverage, safety, security, and comfort.
Strength – God's word, promises and the victories that He has helped you to win, can provide that spiritual, physical edge that you need to stand, complete a task or even to commit acts of devotion to God; going to church and reading His words.

God is indeed omni-present but the psalmist was reminding us that when in need of a saviour, He will be there. No matter what the situation is, God can and will come through for us. Remember, his timing is not our timing, but He will come through.

2 - 3. When we know that we know that our God will never leave or forsake us, no matter what is happening around us, that will not phase us. If the earth is falling apart, not saying we cant be human, we should remind ourselves of God's Word where He promises to take care of us.

4.The city of God, Jerusalem, had no rivers. The reference to a river illustrates the use of metaphor. The river would signify blessing, continuous flowing, outpouring of blessing in the city of God.

5.Indeed, God dwells in this city. Just like anything or anyone else that belongs to God, he will protect us. So when nations try to attack, God will protect an help to overcome or win battles.

6.Ties in to verse 5 where no matter how many nations try to attack God's city, they will not win, they will fall. It shows the awesomeness of God. He will lift his voice and the earth will melt. Yes God is great and powerful and if He wants he can lift His voice and melt the earth but in this passage, it suggest that He will use His power as an act to frighten or scare those that try to harm us. Him doing that suggests His anger against the enemies of His children.

7.Showing these acts will prove that God was, is and will be with His children and He will fight for us.

8.This is an invitation to see the victories that God has won and how He showed His anger towards the enemies of his children.

9.He will stop all attacks on His children. The breaking of the bow and shattering of spears suggest the use of them no more. If nations have no weapons, they can be no war. This would/will lead to peace on earth.

10.After all is said and done, it will be seen and known that God, the God of our salvation has done it; has helped us to win battles and overcome fears. For this reason, we as His people must praise Him. We must show our gratitude to Him by giving Him praise.

11. In conclusion, remember that God is all around us, looking out and protecting us. He has protected us from things unknown to our eyes. We need not forget it. He is our help, provider, everything. Amen.

NECROPHILIA......

2009-07-05T21:43:00.001-07:00

A man was brought before the judge and charged with Necrophilia (making love to a dead woman).
The judge told him, 'In 20 years on the bench, I've never heard such a disgusting, immoral thing'.
Just give me one good reason why I shouldn't lock you up and throw away the key!'

The man replied, 'I'll give you THREE good reasons:
1. It's none of your damn business.
2. She was my wife; and.....
3. I didn't KNOW she was dead, she ALWAYS acted that
way!'

So ladies try to move a little during the game.

refresh/reload parent mask

2009-06-11T17:46:00.000-07:00

i used this function to reload a parent mask in p4a 3

a parent mask would be one that calls another mask (the child). so the function would be in the child mask.

function doReloadParentMask(){
$p4a = p4a::singleton();
//$parent = p4a::singleton('product');
//$parent->destroy();
$p4a->masks->product->destroy();
$p4a->openMask('product');
}
