Have you upgrade your Firefox to Firefox 1.5.0.7 yet? The new update has been released yesterday. Yesterday, while I surfed the Internet, suddenly there was a pop-up from my Firefox browser asking me to install the latest version. So I chose ok and it install the latest updates in a minute.

Some of my friends (Internet Explorer users) asked me why I use Firefox. With calm and confidence I answered the question. I said that, with Firefox you can surf the net with tabbed browsing. Which means you no need to open new window if you want to visit other sites. Beside than that, there are many themes and extensions that you can use to enhance the usebility of your Firefox. And all of them are free to download.

I’m using 6 extensions for my Firefox and use Mostly Crystal as my Firefox theme. I really like Mostly Crystal. The theme uses colourful icons and there are really nice. You can see the screenshot below.

Ok back to the topic. He3. This latest update have fixed known critical flaws. You can see the details here. And I wonder when will Firefox 100% free from vulnerabilities. Hmm… [tags]mozilla firefox, firefox, internet browser[/tags]

For those who have Google AdSense account, you can use this plugin to check your AdSense earning without need to visit Google AdSense website. It is very useful for those who frequently check their earning incomes like me.

The plugin, AdSense Earning Reports will show your today earnings, past earnings from selected range in your Wordpress dashboard or in the Options page.

Here are two screenshots of the plugin on the run:

Image 1: On your wordpress dashboard

Image 2: In your Wordpress Options page (click the image to enlarge)

As you can see in Image 2, you can set how many past earnings that you want to display. By default it was set to 10 but I have changed it to 5. So it easier for me to check my past 5 days earnings without have to scrolldown so many times.

MyOrionet is conducting a competition which is, webmaster who can listed his website on the first rank in Google will win. Today, WTJ commented on one of my post about MyOrionet had been hacked. The hacker named himself as Hacker_Amca and s/he (I don’t know the gender ) put link to other website. I don’t know what language used there. I think the website is from Tukey. Here is the print screen of the hacked website:

Lessons learned
Lessons that we can learn from this situation are:

1. Update your website scripts when there are new updates available
   This is a must because the latest updates have bugs fixed and some upgrades that can improve the security of your website.
2. Always backup your site and databases
   Make a backup of your website everyday if you update your site contents everyday. If not, make backup at least once a week.

I’m no security expert but I have little knowledge how to prevent sites from being hacked. Hope we can learn something from what had happen to MyOrionet. [tags]hacker, hack, website[/tags]

I would like to ask you bloggers, what happen with your olds posts? Old that I mean here are posts that have been leave down far at the bottom of your archives.

I start thinking about this yesterday when I glance through my own posts in my archives and thought what will happen with all of my old posts. Do people read them? Do I need to delete all of these old posts to clear my spaces? (sure I will not delete them lol…) Should I republish these posts? Many questions came into my head yesterday.

Technology in Japan has taken step more further. This “Gundam” robot is a person-carying robot vehicle with 3.4 metres high and 1000 kg weight and is the first mechanatron ever built by human being.

The manufacturer, Sakakibara-Kikai released this mech to attract attention for the company. This heavy duty mech not only can walk but it also can shoot. Yea, shooting and fighting with mech is the best part in Gundam series.

Anyway, the bullets used by this mech are not the real one. It just shoot with rubber balls. But wonder what will happen if Land Walker equiped with real bullets?

Take a look at this robot in actions:

Yesterday my friend SMS me to send an installer (executable) file via email. So I use Gmail as my primary email account and attached the file. But when I want to send the email, Gmail warned me that it does not allow any executable file send from Gmail. I’m sure this is regarding of the security issues. So how I can send the executable file? Here is the trick.

Ok let say the file that you want to send name is Executable.

1. Go to Folder Options (My Computer > Tools > Folder Options)
2. In View tab, uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types“.
   And the file will look like this

   

3. Then rename the extension .exe with other extension like .jpg. Windows will prompt a warning message, just click “Ok”. The file icon will be changed to .jpg icon and now your executable file is in .jpg format.

   

4. Send the file to the receipent.
5. After the receipent recieve the file, ask them to rename the extension file with .exe or it will not work.

Note: I have try this many times in Gmail and it works and I’m sure this trick also works in other email services. Because you send an image file not executable file.

Found this trick useful? Please Digg the story!
