Since I've never had the chance yet to implement the new design for this blog I decided to roll out a few HTML tips and tricks which I think could help people who are new to HTML web development.This one focuses on the use of px's and em's in font sizes. In the not so old days if you want to set your website's fonts you would normally use px with font sizes.A better way to design html web pages

This post was written using ScribeFire, a nifty add-on for the Firefox 3 web browser. What I really liked about this add-on is that I don't have to browse through blogger.com anymore just to post a new blog. With this add-on I can easily browse through other websites while writing my blog. It is a lot easier and more convenient for me to update my blog using ScribeFire.Having ScribeFire on

Recently I opted to uninstall Defraggler from my laptop to try JKDefragGUI as my disk defrag utility. I am glad I switched to JKDefrag because it was able to free up a whopping 2Gb of space, something that Defraggler was not able to do.JKDefrag is a very nifty utility to have in your Windows PC. Aside from efficiently defragging the hard drive it can also optimize your registry, perform a system

I've recently encountered a problem with my ZoneAlarm Firewall on my Dell laptop, it blocked all my access to the internet but allowed me to connect to my networked printer and other network workstations.I thought maybe it was high time for me to uninstall it and try out Comodo Firewall Pro. So I downloaded the installer from Filehippo.com, my trusted site for free and non-commercial use software

Yes it can be done! I was able to setup my Windows XP SP3 laptop to run VMware player with Ubuntu 8.04. I was already thinking of setting up my machine on dual boot with Ubuntu, but then came across an article about Virtualization on Dzone which I tried.This is how you can do it:1. Download VMware Player from filehippo.com and Ubuntu 8.04 VMware Image from jars.de.2. Run the installer for VMware

Finally I was able to finish setting up the local area network of the JSAMHI. I used a linksys wrt54g wireless router as my main router to connect directly to the internet. Presently it is a mixed mode setup of wireless and wired network because the basement floor is still out of reach from the wireless network signal. So there is still a UTP cable connected from the linksys router to a network

If you've read about web developers talking about how firefox has helped them improve their development skills with plugins like firebug and web developer. And if you are an Opera user and just wish there was a tool that is similar to firefox's firebug or web developer, well look no further, because Opera 9.5 beta is offering its own alternative with Opera Dragonfly.What's good about it is that

IMHO it is better if schools offer open source programming languages to students rather than teaching them programming languages such as visual basic or visual csharp. Aside from the fact that open source programmers have higher employment rate, they can also develop cross-platform applications, which is not true with languages as mentioned above. Although we all know that Microsoft Windows

It has been about three weeks since I've started using my dell laptop and I now know that purchasing this laptop is one of the best decisions I've done in my life. It is very useful in my work, typing documents, making my blog, doing some code programming, researching on current trends in coding, listening to my favorite music, editing my pictures and videos and stuff, making financial reports

I've read a lot about browser wars lately that I thought I'd jump in and give my two cent's worth. I've had my share of using the four browsers, namely: Opera, IE7, FF3, and Safari, and based on my personal opinion and observation I chose to use only two browsers that is FF3 and Opera.Why Opera you might say? Well, I think Opera has one of the fastest if not the fastest browsers on the planet. I

Finally, I have my own laptop! Well, for some of you this would be something ordinary, but for me who's from a small province in the Philippines this is something not of the ordinary.I bought a Dell Vostro 1400 which packs a Core 2 Duo 1.4Ghz Processor, 2GB of RAM, 250GB of HDD capacity, an integrated webcam, X3100 nVidia Integrated Video 128MB, on a 14.1" WXGA Glossy Screen.I love the 14" screen
