Genesis Framework by Studiopress

It’s been 3 years since the last time I changed CypherHackz.Net theme layout on 26 October 2007. This theme, CypherFS DarkSide was designed and coded by myself. And I think it is time to have a fresh look of CypherHackz.Net and use Genesis as the framework.

How to print a list of directories and files in Windows?

Today I received a request from a customer asking me to provide him a list of directories and files from his Windows laptop. It is an easy task if there is only one folder and three files but unfortunately, there are hundreds of folders and thousands of files in a Windows operating system.

Luckily, I found a solution how to print out the list. To do that, I’m using Karen’s Directory Printer. It can prints the list of directories and files into a hardcopy or to a text file.

Facebook Will End on 15th March 2011


Mark Zuckerberg, credit jdlasica.

Will you believe this? Facebook will be shut down on 15th March 2011?

Mark Zuckerberg said that, Facebook has gotten out of control and become too stressful to manage. Because of that, he decided to close Facebook on 15th March 2011.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

When asked about money, Zuckerberg said “I don’t care about the money. I just want my old life back.”

CypherFS Network gets a facelift

I was so bored last weekend so I decided to redesign the template of my network site, CypherFS Network.


Old – CypherFS Network


New – CypherFS Network

The design is valid XHTML and CSS. The best part that I like is the RSS script. It will pull latest RSS feed from my blogs and display them on the website. So the visitor can get a general picture of what the blog is about and the latest article from it.

But the downside of the new design is it takes around 5-10 seconds to finish loading due to the multiple RSS requests. Sigh~

Automatic Update Copyright Year in WordPress Footer

It is new year guys. Have you update the copyright year in your WordPress footer? Make sure it is year 2011 and not 2010. :-P

Here is a tip that you can use to automatically update the copyright year. Open up your footer.php theme file, and add this line:

<p>Copyright &copy; 2005 – <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?> yoursitename.com</p>

The PHP date(‘Y’); function will display the current year so you don’t have to manually update the copyright year every year. ;)

*** Happy New Year 2011 to all my readers… ;) ***

Previously, I was using WP Super Cache plugin to cache my blogs. Unfortunately, the plugin had made my blog vulnerable and a hacker was successfully infiltrated into my server through the cache folder created by the plugin.

Looking for an Internship Company in Malaysia?

Dear students,

Go to Intern.My website if you are looking for an internship company. They have list of companies that provide a place for university students to do their internship program.

Employers who are looking for internship students can also post their job vacancies on the website. It is just RM100 (30USD) for each job submission which I guess not that bad because the job will be listed permanently on the website.

But anyway dude, where’s my coffee? (lol~ nice tagline eh?)
