22 April 2007 5 Comments

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you very much for those who gave me comments and suggestions to my last post. Here, I found two ways how you can prevent someone from hotlinking your files and eating up your bandwitdh.

1st Method – CPanel HotLink Protection

If you use CPanel, you can set and block peoples from hotlinking your files with HotLink Protection option. Just login into your CPanel and click on the HotLink Protection icon. In the HotLink Protection page, you can set which urls you allow for access, file types that you want to protect, url to redirect the hotlinked files and option to allow direct request.

For more clear view about this, I have prepare you with a flash video on how to use the HotLink Protection option. I found this video from my hosting provider FAQ page.

Hey! Do you love playing snowballs? In Malaysia, there is no winter season, so I don’t have my chance to play them. Lol…. But here comes an online game where you can play the snowballs and throw them to get points. The more you play, the more points you will get and the higher your rank will be.

ZWOK is a flash online game where you choose your character and start playing and throwing the snowballs. This game is divided into two teams and you must decide which team you want to join. But before you can play this game, you need to create your account first or, you can start playing the quick game option.

Note: You can be addicted to this game once you start playing. So, better put your watch or clock near to your monitor so you will know how long you have play this game. Lol…

Yahoo Messenger proxy problem fixed

16 April 2007 23 Comments

The Problem
I had problem with my Yahoo Messenger after I started using proxy to get to the Internet. Although I have set the proxy settings in Yahoo Messenger, it still can’t get connected and login to my account. I’m pretty sure that all settings are correct and I even had tried many options in the connection setting but it still failed to connect.

The Solution
After trying for about 2 months (lol…), now I can use my Yahoo Messenger as before. The solution is, besides you set the connection in Yahoo Messenger to “Firewall with no proxies”, you must set your Internet Explorer to connect via proxy too. I’m not sure why it must be like that but maybe Yahoo Messenger using IE connection settings to get into the Internet before it use its own proxy settings to send and receive messages.
