Facebook on Your Blog / Website

I found this trick from Mr. Noufalz blog and I'm really happy to know about it. As he said on his blog, this trick just using a iframe on your blog / web. iframe used to show other web page on your page. With that code we'll make facebook appear on our blog / web. Let we see this picture for example

Now we can make blog / web appear on our blog / web with give url that we want to show up. In this case we want to show up facebook, so code will be like this

<br /><iframe src ="http://iphone.facebook.com" width="100%" height="300"></iframe><br /> <a href="http://www.noufalzblog.com/2009/11/facebook-mini.html" mce_href="http://www.noufalzblog.com/2009/11/facebook-mini.html">Buat sendiri FacebookMini di situs/blog kita.</a><br />
It's a simple way to do that, just add a text widget on your sidebar and paste the code below on it. You will see your own facebook when you open your blog / web. Happy trying and thanks to Mr. Noufalz

P2 themes for self hosting WP user

Previously, we already talk about this themes. For user on wordpress.com will have this theme with 4 tabs included, but for wordpress.org just have 1 tab for update status. We already now it, right?

Now, for WP self hosting user, this themes is ready to download. I've use it for tulisanku blog. It's really awesome theme and give me more way to make a new post.

New features that I discovered from this new version are :

• As we mention above, we have 4 tabs now, for update status, blog post, quote, and link. In the first version we only have 1 tab to update status and make our blog look like twitter.
• Permalink for our title is according to our own structure. I mean when we setting our permalink on setting tab, we will have permalink like that when we posting using blog post tab.
• We can fine an option tab at dashboard to setting this themes preferences. 

I think there are many more features in this new version, but for me this features the most important. But when implementing this theme, I have a problem with my socialize plugin. Because of that, I've to edit the code of that plugin tu suit with this theme. Everythings is good for me.

Notepad as Your Diary

"My dear diary, today I'm so happy......"

Hehehehe, nice prologue isn't it? I always see that script when watching a romance movie with writing diary scene. Usually women on the movie do that, maybe in real world too. Sometimes they use diary to tell a story that they can't tell to anybody.

We are not talking about romance in this post, but we'll talk about a diary, e-diary. Now a day we always interacting with technology, like computer, internet, phone cellular, and many more, make us to change our activities to follow it.

I think there are so many software that give us purposes like a diary. It could be a free one or paid one. I've saw it later years ago. But now I want to tell you that we can make a diary with notepad. Yes, notepad that we always use to type a simple message. How it could be? Let we see this step by step :

1. Open your notepad application. 
2. Write this word on it
   
   

   .LOG
   

   
   
3. Next step save it and give it name. Maybe you would like to give it name Diary.txt. Place it where you can find it easily so when you want to write something, you know where to find it.
   
4. Now close it and feel free to open it next time.

Actually it's done after step 3. Now we will test it's working or not. Open your diary.txt now. When you open it you will see a time stamp had been writing automatically. I hope you will see like what I see below.

I had try it and it work for me. How about you?

Operating System Definition

We realize it or not, every days we work with this one, Operating System, usually called OS. There are so many variances of OS, e.g. Windows, Linux, Unix, and others. We commonly hear are Windows ( any versions ) and Linux ( any distro ). The main different between this 2 OS is from license. Windows is paid OS and Linux variances is free one. For this posting we aren't talk about different at all, it's just a prologue, but we'll talk about what OS is.

OS has many definitions, but we can't say one is the good definition. We'll list it below :

• OS is a resource allocator
  Manages all resources
  Decides between conflicting requests for efficient and fair resource use
  
• OS is a control program
  Controls execution of programs to prevent errors and improper use of the computer

There is no universally accepted definition for this. “The one program running at all times on the computer” is the kernel. Everything else is either a system program (ships with the operating system) or an application program.

P2 themes really awesome

We already talk about this in earlier article, "Wordpress theme, it's look like Twitter", and now we will see different between Twitter and this theme. In my first posting, this theme only can make status update on our blog and change our blog like Twitter. We still make a new posting from our dashboard manually. Now we'll see how powerful this theme for user that need a faster blogging theme. I think this is the answer.

Advantage about this theme is really simple theme and candy view. With ajax, it's feel like web 2.0 application. Every post will have comment thread that can grow automatically depend how many users give reply. This one make me really like this theme, simple tab to write something.

There are 4 tabs that we can use. Detail of each tab can we see below :

1. Status Update
   As twitter do, we just update our status with other user that read your blog. Permalink for your status will be created with your first line.
   
2. Blog Post
   We make a new post without going to dashboard. Just type it in this tab, you will have a new post for your blog.
   
3. Quote
   Cite a word or phrase from everywhere that you want, just like poems or else.
   
4. Link
   If you like a web that you have just visited and want to share with other, write the link in this tab.

Actually, this theme work properly like that only with wordpress.com. Not for wordpress.org, because as my experience, for wordpress.org this theme just provide update status only without other tabs. But it's just case of time when they give this theme full for wordpress user self hosting. I'm waiting for that.

Virtual PC : Another software virtuality purpose

So many software that tell us about their advantages, cheapness, and many more that will make us to buy it or maybe to download it if free trial. We can install it commonly like other software. For paid software we'll feel safety to run installation. But how about free one? Do you dare to install it without any risk on your mind??

OK, now we have to now why we must be careful to install a software, especially free software. With free software, we can't complain to author if we have a problem after install it. It's okay if it just crash or can't run properly, but how if the software automatically send your private data to other person in the world ( like trojan or a back door indeed )? This is will be very dangerous for us. So we have to careful about it.

Now how we know it a safe software to install or not? Well, we already now about VMware in last posting. With this application we can try our free software to install without any risk to our main OS. It's look like we install it to another PC to try, because this virtual PC like real PC. We had talking about VMware, one of virtual software. Now in this post we will talk about Virtual PC from Windows.

Virtual PC is a free software that used for create a virtual computer on our main computer. This is created by Microsoft ( maybe this is the only one application that Microsoft give for free I think ). Let we see a brief review about this application below.

Save time and money as Virtual PC allows you to maintain the compatibility of legacy and custom applications during migration to new operating systems and increases the efficiency of support, development, and training staffs.
With Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007, you can create and run one or more virtual machines, each with its own operating system, on a single computer. This provides you with the flexibility to use different operating systems on one physical computer.
For more information about the ways you can use virtual machines, see Virtual PC at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=78095.

For installation really simple, just like installing VMware. Give it a try to feel the different between Virtual PC and other virtual applications. Just note from me, we can't install a linux OS. Happy learning

Blogger or Wordpress? Let We See

As the title, we'll compare between Blogger and Wordpress. We already know what is Blogger and what is Wordpress, right? I already write it before, just check it in previous post. Now we'll talk about advantage and disadvantage between both of this engine. First we'll talk about Blogger advantages. Make it point by point

Advantages with Blogger

• First of all, it's free to have an account. We can make so many blog with 1 account.
  
• One of Google service. It's mean our blog will be quickly to indexed by google search engine.
  
• Templates provides with a large help in internet.
• We are able to customize template source code to insert our own code.
• Our blog name will be a subdomain from blogspot.com. But we can make custom domain later.
• Space and bandwidth unlimited.
  

Disadvantages with Blogger

• We need to know about our template source code so we can modify it as we want to.
• We can't easily add a function that we want.
• Some script from third party services can't installed with blogger.

That's all I know about blogger. Maybe other want to add information about it. And now we'll talk about wordpress. As we know, there are wordpress.com and wordpress.org.  So we will make it 2 parts for this. Let start it from wordpress.com

Advantages with wordpress.com

• First of all, it's free to have an account. We can make so many blog with 1 account.
• Space limited to 3GB and bandwidth unlimited ( if I'm not wrong indeed ). 
• Have  blog name as a subdomain from wordpress.com

Disadvantage with wordpress.com

• Themes. We only have a few choose for this one.
• Code modification. We can not make a modification to source code.
• Limited plugin that we can use.
• 
  

Advantages with wordpress.org

• It's free to download.
• We can modify source code as we like it.
• We have full control for making our blog.
• So many plugin we can use and give our blog more abilities.

Disadvantages with wordpress.org

• We have to provide a hosting for our place to put it and install it. The hosting must support php and mysql
• If we use a paid hosting, we need to pay for rent.

Maybe that's all I know about this topic. Maybe if there any mistake, please tell me to change it. Another opinions from readers for this topic will be added in this post. Thanks

How to use TwitterFeed

I had write an article about Update your Facebook with Twitter and vice versa. In progres to make update from facebook to our twitter, we use TwitterFeed. Now we'll talk about this powerful web and how to use TwitterFeed.
Maybe it'll really helpful if we make it on step by step. Let's begin!

1. first of all, we usually register our self on that website so we can use their services. It will be done in 10 to 15 minutes. But we can skip it ( not really skip ) by using our openID to sign in. With sign in using our openID, we don't need to register, fulfill all text boxes, and check our email for comfirmation.
2. Verify your account first and then you can use services from TwitterFeed. For them whom using openID, you will be redirecting to your login page to confirm you are the owner.
3. I hope you have done step 2 and I assume you have login to TwitterFeed.
4. When you login, Twitter will give you services that you can use. It's look like picture below
   
   
   
   
   
   You can only pick one in a time.For our example here, I will use twitter service.
   
   
5. Click button that appears and you will be redirecting to give authentication to use your twitter account. I assume you have logged in to your twitter account.
6. Click Allow button to give TwitterFeed access to your twitter.
   
   
   
   
7. After click Allow button, we'll redirecting again to TwitterFeed page again, like ping pong game right!
8. Next step we give a name for our feed and feed url from our blog/web.
   
   
   
9. Write what you want for feed name box. For rss feed url, use your feed. If you not sure about it, you can test it first with button on the right side.
10. Then we click create feed button. 

There are an advance settings that we can modify. But I think default setting is a good one. If you want to explore about it, you can do it easily without worrying something gonna happen with your web. Thanks

Wordpress Permalink Modification

Now we talk again about wordpress. You know what is wordpress, don't you? If you don't, you can read this article first. In this article, we want to make a little modification with our permalink. Permalink is permanent link to our post. It's look like post address that can be directly visited by our visitor without opening our homepage. This is very useful when somebody want to make a reference to our blog post.
First of all, let we see default permalink that wordpress give us for the first time we use it. We'll an address like below for our posting address :

http://www.domainname.com/?p=123

OK, that's the default from wordpress. This is not give us much information about that post. Sometimes, when we see the permalink to any post, we can predict what it's talking about. With that format above, we can't predict what will we see after open it. This isn't good for our blog because search engine not like that form.
Now we want something more humanity than that right? Wordpress give us control to do that. Change our permalink format at our dashboard. After login to your dashboard, choose settings --> permalink. You'll see some option that wordpress give to us. Just look like picture below.

You can choose your format there.There are 4 common options shown to us. In this article we'll talk about 4th option, custom structure. To fulfill that textbox, we have many parameters that could be use. This are the list of parameters that we can found on wordpress.org as reference :

%year% 

The year of the post, four digits, for example 2004

%monthnum% 

Month of the year, for example 05

%day% 

Day of the month, for example 28

%hour% 

Hour of the day, for example 15

%minute% 

Minute of the hour, for example 43

%second% 

Second of the minute, for example 33

%postname% 

A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI. Starting Permalinks with %postname% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.. *** Note - this has been changed and is ok to do since ver. 2.0

%post_id% 

The unique ID # of the post, for example 423

%category% 

A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI. Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.

%tag% 

A sanitized version of the tag name (tag slug field on New/Edit Tag panel). Starting Permalinks with %tag% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.

%author% 

A sanitized version of the author name.

 

That's all parameters. We can combine it as we like. But it will give effect to our blog visibility in search engine.

NB : If your page has been indexed in search engine database, change your permalink now will make all indexed page can't seen by visitor, it'll redirecting to 404.

Explore Facebook Smilies

All of us know about Facebook, one of the famous social networking on internet. This social network has embeded chat application on it pages. We can chat directly to our friend without disturbing us browsing our Facebook. As we now, a chat application always have a smilies that we use to expression emotion when we chat. Smilies or emoticon really make chat live. Do you ever use your chat on Facebook? I think you already do that far before you see this article. But do you ever use all the smilies that provided by Facebook? Let we see this picture, this is your normal Facebook chat.

Now compare that picture with this one.

Do you see the different between that pictures?Don't say the different is Facebook user. Focus on the gray area below profiles picture. In first picture, we see nothing, just an empty space. But in the second picture, we see a smilies between chatbox and profiles picture.
Now, I will give you trick how to make it like that. Our tools to make it work are Firefox browser and GreaseMonkey. GreaseMonkey is an addon in Firefox and we can download it for free. You can follow link below to download it

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

Next step is restarting your browser. Now with GreaseMonkey on our browser, we can install any scripts that we want. For this article, we want to install script to make Facebook smilies visible in our browser. Download it on this address

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/56504

After install the script, you are done. Restart again your browser and open your Facebook chat, you will see a set of smilies there. Happy chatting.  Thanks

Wordpress themes, It's look like Twitter

Now a day, every one of us already know what is twitter. Twitter is a mini blog, just give a simple word to other user. Do you ever thinking that method used by twitter, we can implementing it in our blog? Before I see this theme, I answered 'no', but now I will always say 'yes'. Take a look this screenshoot below.

Are you familiar with this siteview? You will say yes if you use twitter. It's really look like a twitter. The function to make a new post without coming to your dashboard is the most powerful ability in this theme. This theme comfortable for a blog that has so many user inside. This is a free theme from wordpress.org. You can download it here :

http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2

But there is somethings we can't see. Can you expect what I mean? If you say it's about post title, than you're right. When you post using text box at the homepage, we can't give a title to our post. For that, we have to make a post from our dashboard. I've used this theme, as long as I use it, this really good for communication between user in group. It's really nice to use. Thanks

About Unit in Computer World

Bit is the smallest unit of data that used a computer. Bit used to represent two kinds of data or information, such as yes or no, 0 or 1. The data can be found daily has many forms, such as: sound, letters, numbers, photographs, images, movies and so on.

Each number 0 and 1 called Bit (Binary Digit). Binary word-which means two or a pair, taken from a Binary Number System (Binary Numbers System). Binary Number System is one of the number system used by computers that only use two numbers to represent the symbol of a scale value of 0 and 1. In contrast to humans who use the decimal system which consists of 10 symbols numbers: 0-9.

Eight Bits equal 1 Byte. Byte represent 256 units of information, such as numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. 1 Byte approximately equal to one character.

1000 Byte (1024 Byte exact definition depends on the unit used) is equal to 1 Kilobyte.

1000 Kilobytes equal to 1 Megabyte. In the early days of computing world, 1 Megabyte is the amount of data is very large. But on this day the computer with a 80 Gigabyte hard drives were common, 1 Megabyte no longer regarded as a very large size. An old floppy disk size 3 1 / 2 inch can hold 1.44 Megabytes or equal to the charge of a small notebook. 100 Megabytes might hold a number of free.

1000 Megabytes approximately equal dengan1 Gigabyte. 1 Gigabyte is a very common term used today when talking about the capacity of a floppy disk or drive storage. 1 Gigabyte of data is almost equal to twice the amount of data that can accommodate a CD-ROM, or a thousand-fold the capacity of a floppy 3 1 / 2 inches. 1 Gigabyte could hold the contents of the entire book on the shelf for ten yards. 100 Gigabyte could hold the contents of one floor of the library contains an academic journal.

1000 Gigabyte Terabyte equals 1 trillion or 1 Byte. For now Terabyte not include the usual term used. Just a picture, can hold 1 Terabyte 3.6 million images or approximately 300 hours of very good footage. Able to accommodate 1 Terabyte 1000 Encyclopedia Britannica coffee.

1000 Terabyte equals one million petabytes, or one Gigabyte. It's hard to imagine the large amount of data that can be accommodated by one petabytes. One can store petabytes of content than twenty million pieces filing cabinet (storage cupboard) four-door with a full load, or five hundred billion pieces of text that has been printed. Meanwhile, to save the data with the amount we need five hundred million ordinary floppy disk.

1000 petabytes is more or less equal to one billion exabytes, or one Gigabyte. Not so much a comparison unit of measure that can describe one exabytes. As to say that 5 exabytes equal to the sum of all the words ever spoken man.

1000 exabytes is approximately equal to one Zettabyte. Until now there has been no unit of measure that can describe a Zettabyte, which clearly we need a number one with lots of zeros.

1000 Zettabyte equal to one Yottabyte. Again, very difficult to describe the capacity of a single Yottabyte.

1000 Yottabyte equal to one Brontobyte. The only thing that can be said to describe a Brontobyte is a number one followed by 27 zeros behind.

Here's a simple diagram of the data quantity unit of measure:

* 1 Bit = Binary Digit
* 8 Bits = 1 Byte
* 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
* 1000 kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
* 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
* 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
* 1000 terabytes = 1 petabytes
* 1000 Petabytes = 1 exabytes
* 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
* 1000 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
* 1000 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
