Desktoptopia - Feed your creativity
2007-12-07 02:33:00
Desktoptopia is a desktop background manager for the Apple Mac user. I'm a Windows user for sure but that's not the point.As a designer(not really), I'm really impress of all the artworks right there and feel some kind of envy when looking at their high quality design. Fuhh..it's look that I'm still far behind them. I'm still thinking the best way to improve my skills and really hope that I can find a job in the graphics designer area. It was a pretty tough to compete with a lot of skillful designers out there.By the way, I've decided to submit my design at Desktoptopia next time. Hope they will accept my artworks. Hehe..That's all for today!!! Have fun!!!

How to delete image or picture in Blogger?
2007-12-05 01:27:00
"Oppsss...I have uploaded a wrong picture!! &^%#&#!!" Yeah..it sounds familiar. It also happened to me. It's not a big deal if you've upload a 100kb or 300kb image. But, how about 3mb or 5mb? As we know, Blogger only provide 1024mb free space to store your picture.Of course, you can delete your new post including the image that you have just uploaded. Then, how about the old posts? Do you want to delete them just because it has the photo of your old fashion hair style??No worries guys. Normally all images that we have uploaded was stored in the blogger.com database. And the only way (I guess) to access all of them is in the Picasa Web Album. Just open that link. You'll see the Albums based on how many blog you've created. If you have created 3 blogspot blog using the same account, then you should have 3 Albums.If you still confuse on how to use the Picasa Web Album to delete your image, just follow these simple steps:-Step 1Click to your blog's Album which you want to d...

DirectVobSub - Displaying subtitle in Real Media file

Back then, I never think about installing any subtitle tool anyway. It's because of all my downloaded movies was in .avi extension. Just open the movie file using the VLC player, and everything would be fine including the codecs and subtitle file.Yesterday, I just downloaded the Real Media movie file with .rmvb extension including the subtitle file. As mentioned before, I never used their software (Real Player) since I found Real Alternative.I tried to open the rmvb file but it failed to load the subtitle. Finally, I install the Dire ctVobSub and reopen my Real Media file. And, tadaa!! It loads the subtitle file!I never know whether this tool is working on other file extension such as .rm, .ra or .ram. It should be. But, one thing for sure is that your subtitle files should have the same filename as your video file (for example movie.avi, movie.idx, movie.sub, movie.txt) and should be in the same folder (directory) as your video file. Then the subtitles will automatically be display...

Hmm..I never know if I can call this a blogger tips. Site Meter was a pretty handy web tracking tool I've ever used. It gives you a detailed report of who is visiting your blog, how they found you, where they came from, what interests them and much more.For past 5 months, what is exactly I can tell you is that 90% of my visitor was came from Google. A lot of them was looking for Illustrator tutorial. Well, I really never know whether my article was good enough since I've rarely received any feedback from my comment box or email.By the way, it was really easy to use Site Meter. Just sign up for Site Meter Basic. Get the code and paste it into your HTML/JavaScript widget. As you can see, I have placed the code at the bottom of the page.Other than that, you also can customize the meter style or even set the level of privacy for your site statistics.I think that's all for now. It was totally free and easy to use. Just grab it!Yihaaa!!!
