话说上个星期下载完 300 多集的 《海贼王》 动画 (爽啊~） 下是下到手软了，不仅如此，档案都是 rar 文件，发片人还设了密码……tnnd 每解压一个文件 WinRAR 都还是会跟你要密码，如下：



想一想每解压一个文件就会停下来，弹出窗口要密码。 一两个文件还好，不过当你有上百个的文件要解压时，你肯定会砍人了。 还好我发现了一个好办法，现在就跟大家分享一下如何在 WinRAR 免手动输入密码来解压 N 多个压缩文件 (每个文件都需要同一个组密码来解压)。

1. 首先打开 WinRAR 程式。
2. File -> Set default password。
   
   
   
   
   
3. 输入解压的密码， 然后OK 。
   
   
   
   
   
4. 在 WinRAR 里游览到你存放你的 rar 文件的文件夹，然后选择你要解压的文件全选。
5. 接下来的步骤就如平常一样，选择路经然后就开始解压。
6. 如果密码设对的话 WinRAR 不会跟你要密码。
7. 这时候你可以去睡觉或做其它事情了。怎么样？不错吧？

I've been updating this site since last month. One of the things I added is able to serve gzip-encoded page. On top of that, my site is also able to serve gzip-encoded CSS and JS file Just scroll to the bottom of every page and you'll notice a line that says something like "Gzip enabled , CSS compressed , JS compressed". This will give an indication whether they are enabled or not. In other words, this will make pages load faster as well as saving some tiny bandwidth.

I've written a how-to thing that gives you an idea how to achieve that with PHP using ob_gzhandler(). For this to work you'll need the appropriate version of PHP, zlib extension and web browser that supports compressed web page.

Next topic will be on how to shrink, compress and cache CSS/JS files. Those who're using heavy AJAX and CSS styling will benefit from this.

Below is a quick guide to get PHP accept larger upload file size.

Step 1.

Step 3.

Sometimes Windows Updates need to restart the computer to finish the installation. Before SP2, Automatic Updates would not restart your computer automatically. But this is not the case with SP2.

I've lost many downloads overnight for a few times and I can't stand this any more. Follow the below instructions to disable the auto restart in Windows Update:





The next time Windows updates your system it will not restart the computer automatically, but will notify you that restart is needed in order to finish the installation.

Ever wonder why windows did not include the "No to All" button in the below picture ?



This dialog will appear in the middle of moving or copying a bunch of files to the destination (via Windows Explorer), where it got files that have same file name as the source.

It might be a pain in the ass to keep clicking the "No" button if you have tons of files that you don't want to be replaced due to some reasons. The worst part is you might even need to sit there for hours to catch any popup dialog because you don't know when it will popup and interrupt the process

So here is the new trick that I just learnt (I'm aware most of you might already knew this hundred years ago...):

That's what I called as cool-trick-no-jutsu

I'm back again, to a place where birds won't even lay eggs... oh well, that's not true... but you get the picture. Anyway, my luggage got checked thoroughly (i mean, undies by undies, if you still don't understand) by the quarantine officer when I'm going through the custom. Some of the items got confiscated after inspection. So I would share with you what I have brought and which one of it is ok and which isn't.

Things that's OK:

• 义香豆沙饼(Ghee Hiang). I didn't buy 馨香豆沙饼 (Him Heang) because of its loose packaging... but shouldn't be a problem when passing through custom since there is no egg in the ingredients.
• Chinese New Year biscuits (Malaysia style) like 凤梨酥, that white colour cookie (I've asked a few friends, nobody knows the name -_-") Kuih Bangkit (thanks ynee). Also, Kuei Kah Phek should be fine too (I remember bringing that 2 years ago).
• Bracelet that's made of wood pieces. Can't guarantee you can bring all kinds of bracelet made by wood, but most of them are ok. Don't ask me why, but this kind of things are consider as plant material and the quarantine officer loved to check them.
• Curry powder and other kinds of powder. Cannot contain meat pieces/chunck.
• DVD *cough*cough* is ok, don't bring too much like you're reselling them.

Things that's _NOT_ OK:

• Milo (I believe most people already aware of this).
• 3 in 1 instant coffee. Quarantine officer says it contains dairy product in the ingredients and therefore it's not allowed.
• Biscuits and cookies that contain fruits are not allowed. However, 凤梨酥 is allowed. Again, don't ask me why.
• Dried porridge. Most of them contains meat pieces/chunk that is not allowed.

Found a cool trick to display (nearly) all pictures on the web page you currently browsing.

1. Open your browser
2. Visit the page by typing the address of the web page in the address bar and hit [ENTER]
3. Once the page has finish loading, copy & paste the below code to the address bar and hit [ENTER]
   
   [ Hide ]

   [ Highlight ] [ Text ]

   javascript:Ai7Mg6P='';for%20(i7M1bQz=0;i7M1bQz<document.images.length;i7M1bQz++){Ai7Mg6P+='<img%20src='+document.images[i7M1bQz].src+'><br>'};if(Ai7Mg6P!=''){document.write('<center>'+Ai7Mg6P+'</center>');void(document.close())}else{alert('No%20images!')}

Firefox has its own media browser if you need something like that.

Okay, up until now, I assume everybody who lives on earth should have already be aware that Windows Vista is out for private/home users. Having doubts to upgrade from your Win98 ? See the flowchart below to get the answers for your question


Oh ya, I've seen the tv adds about the pc guy and Mac guy, they're funny, and both looks nerd haha...

I just re-install (again) my windows on the weekend. I borrowed Roxio Creator CD (a burning software) from friend, install it, reboot windows, and realized my windows are screwed up. Windows are running extremely slow, many of the windows services are not running. I gave up... even the System Restore is unable to load up. This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks time I need to reinstall windows on my notebook.

So, it's backup time. Not much things (rubbish) to backup since this is still a pretty "fresh" copy of windows. But hey, the Copy & Paste, Drag & Drop, CTRL+C & CTRL+V ain't working ... Luckily the command prompt is still working, the good old copy and xcopy command saved the day =)

After going through the pain of windows update to get SP1 upgraded to SP2, I think it's a good idea to Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) to save myself some time in future. On top of that, you can Slipstreaming Microsfot Office (2003) with SP2 (or any version of Office you have)

However, you still need to do windows/office update after installation to get HotFixes and optional updates. You can "slipstreaming" HotFixes too, but it's way too complicated, you can search Microsoft's KnowledgeBase for more info or just leave the hard work to Windows Update =)

Are you still a Winamp die hard fan?


I've been using Winamp for almost 8 years, back to the time when I'm still in high school. Their simple and easy to use interface, minor resource usage and ability to display chinese song titles (in playlist) are the main reasons that makes me a loyal fan to it.

But not anymore, after I update my Winamp to version 5.32 yesterday night, I've trouble to get Winamp to display chinese song titles. SimHei font isn't doing the trick anymore, even tried font rendering settings on the modern skin and also throw in Microsoft AppLocale to aid the encoding thing but it just won't work. The weird thing is, v5.32 supports Unicode better than the old Winamp version I got but I can't understand why it won't work the way I want on the new version.

So, a friend intro me 千千静听. Best thing of this is, the player is using Simplified Chinese for the interface and encoding. That means it shouldn't have a problem to display chinese song titles in the playlist and in player. The downside is, it assume you're running on Simplified Chinese version of Windows. You'll still got trouble to display the chinese song titles if you're running a english version of WindowsXP.

To correct that and make life feels good, download Microsoft AppLocale utility. Install it and run it.
Once you got the utility running:

• Choose "Launch an application"
• Click "Browse..." to navigate to the 千千静听 folder and target TTPlayer.exe
• Click Next, select 中文（简体）
• Click Next and choose "Create a shortcut"

Once you're done, there will be a shortcut added. You can always copy that shortcut and place it in QuickLaunch toolbar. Each time you need to run the player, just use the shortcut created by AppLocale. Depends on how your songs info are stored, if you still having trouble to display the song title, try this:

• Click any song in the playlist
• Right click and select 文件属性
• On the 读取类型优先级, change to ID3v1 > ID3v2 > APEv2

You should get something like below:


It's good when you can read and understand the song titles On top of that 千千静听 also has auto lyrics download and showing... what else do you need ? Life's good ~~~
