My gadget blog

It's been long time that I haven't been here as I've been busy with my gadget blog. You know that the blog that shows my real commitment in blogging. I didn't think that I could blog almost half a dozen posts a day. But I managed to do it. So, I'm now pretty addicted to blogging and my mind can easily roll out some sentences for me to type. Blogging is fun. But it's definitely a plus, if my gadget blog could monetize for me. I'm still finding ways on how to do that. Basically most bloggers having thier blogs flooded with text ads such as Google adsense. I've been blogging on my gadget blog for about 3 months. I started on Dec/18, last year. So, it's just 3-month-old now. So far, I still haven't got any intention to load it with adsense and other text ads. I did apply for adsense before on my other blog. I guess I got rejected. One of the reasons could be my old blog was not looking professional enough. Some other monetizing ways could be joining payperpost or riding on reviewme. I was given an review at reviewme, and I managed to make $20.00. The online venturing seems like not easy. Anyway, I'll keep on doing it, until I make a success. Furthermore, thinking of designing new wordpress template for my gadget blog, and it's almost done. The new template has an enterprise look, which I'm still hesistant to use it for my gadget blog. Although it's more about gadget, but it's still a personal blog, which I have the total editorial control. Anyway, will wait and see.

Web Search Gadget For Your Website

Inspired by Google Web Gadget, I have built a little web search gadget, which anyone can just paste it on thier website. The web search gadget works like Google, but it's ajax-based 


You can paste this little web gadget on any page of your blog, your website. by just copying the following lines of javascript 



For more information , you can take a look at http://smartborneo.com/se/jsp/gtest.html . I also have a similar post at http://ketyung.blogspot.com

Little frustration with PHP session_start()

If you have been programming PHP, and you have used some session handling functions, you probably have encountered such a warning message on top your PHP pages, i.e "cannot send cookie, header has been sent". You have probably been scratching your head, what you have done wrong in your code. Some of you might even wanna try to configure the php.ini, trying to get rid of this warning or error message.

Well, to solve this, check all the pages that have the function session_start() . Session_start() shall be called on the very 1st line of your PHP page, you will surely get the above error message if you call it after some HTML tags e.g

<html>
  <head><title>My PHP</title></head>
  <body>
 <?
     session_start();
?>

And also take note that you cannot even have some blank lines b4 calling the session_start() e.g as follows

--- Some Blank Lines Here ---

<?
  session_start();
?>

Getting to know what MX Record is

What is MX Record in DNS entry? This is the DNS entry required for a domain, in order to be able to receive email. When someone is sending  an email, which is destined for a domain, e.g Yahoo.com, the email will be delivered by its local SMTP service, or a SMTP mail server. This local SMTP mail service will need to fire a DNS lookup to find out which host or server in the Internet is the receiving host for that email.

If you fire up an nslookup command to lookup what the MX Record for yahoo.com ,e.g using "nslookup -q=mx yahoo.com", you will get the followings:

yahoo.com       MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com

which means, the host or mail server mx1.mail.yahoo.com is which your local mail service shall connect to in order to deliver the email to someone@yahoo.com

How to get rich ?

Well, everyone wishes to get rich ! I'm envious so much of the richest man in the world. Although I work in the same field as these few guys do but I'm not rich at all. I've been striking to find all means to make riches... I've tried several ways in the past including creating my own website, start selling online, Internet advertising and marketing... Most of these trials that I only managed to get it half-cooked. I'd have lost my patience when I'd got half way with it. Well, I guess I have created to many difficult tasks for myself.... I almost give up.... Shall I ?

Here are the bunch of websites that I have created over the past few years.....

http://askalexia.com , An Ajax-based Search Engine, trying to catch up with the hot ajax web trend
http://thepixelweb.com , trying to sell pixels online, follow the trend, wanna get rich quick
http://smartborneo.com , my company, which I'm doing freelance work, developing web-applications for others. You will see a blogger's software coming up on this soon, which is as good as or better than "Live Journal". I'm thinking of giving it a name, "Smart Journal"?
