Redirection on my site - 12:16 am
Browser , Bug , Site Issue , Web Hosting -  DaRen
Oh my god... the Shout box's redirection isn't working in IE 6. I just notice it after my dad told me about this... Before this, nobody encounter any problem ??? Or nobody is surfing my site using IE (impossible) ??? Please report any problem, error or weird CSS rendering and let me know which browser you're using. I can't test my site with all the browsers... takes too much time !
*FIXED*
I made 2 mistakes on the shoutbox redirection script. However the redirection problem in comment posting part is cause by the advertisement codes inserted by the hosting server. They're using window.onload to call their javascript and I'm using the <body onload> to do my redirction, that's why redirection isn't working, they just use my window.onload WITHOUT telling me...hehe... So I remove the onlaod inside the <body> tag and place under their code and it works.
Cause of problem [ Hide ] <body onload="my_redirect()">
<!-- start of server advertisemt -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=their_function()
</script>
<!-- end of server advertisemt -->
Solution [ Hide ] <body>
<!-- start of server advertisemt -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=their_function()
</script>
<!-- end of server advertisemt -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=my_redirection()
</script>
Last thing I want to say is, Opera is working fine even there's 2 onload calling, I bet it will work with 3 or more onload inside a script. IE and firefox just can't cope with the extra onload and failed. Opera rulez !

Hair cut day - 9:34 pm
Personal - DaRen
I cut my hair today. Kinda regret to choose that new barber shop because the barber obviously misunderstood the meaning of "short"..  oh well, it's not the first time experience though, I have never felt satisfied about hair cutting. After cutting my hair, I can persuade people on road that Im in forces with proper uniform... 
Another thing I wanna mention is that, I received a call from somebody when Im walking into the barber-shop. The strange part is that, it's the 2nd time the same person called me when Im going to cut my hair... what a coincidence !
Seeking for greater hosting space - 3:29 pm
Site Issue , Web Hosting - DaRen
I've abandoned my site for almost two weeks from last post. My storage is reaching the 100Mb quota, so I switched to other hosting and test their features. Among the hosting companies I tried, obviously the current hosting company remains to be my best option. One of the hosting company, WorldFreeWeb.com provides 1G of storage, greater control, free email account etc, but due to its amateur "support team", I decided to stay with current one. I guess I'll just have to cut down the images to save some space but eventually I'll still reaches the 100Mb quota, by then, I hope I'm able to find a better hosting.
Time zone! Oh come on... - 2:43 am
Bug , PHP , Site Issue , SQL , Standards , Web Hosting - DaRen
I'm tired of dealing with time zone thing on this server... all my blog entries and calendar don't work out like what I expected... so there's the conversation between me and 100Webspace support team:
Quote:
31 October 2005
Me: Hi. I've noticed that PHP is using GMT+2 time zone but MySQL is set to use GMT+3 time zone. On top of that, apache log is using GMT+3 time zone. Can the time zones be standardized ?
Support: Finding a solution of your problem requires a consultation with our administrators. I have forwarded the issue to them and we will send you our answer as soon as we receive their instructions. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask. Meanwhile just wait for our next response.
Me: Hi. Thanks for replying. I'll wait for the next reply.
Support: We will contact you when we have solution about this issue.
01 November 2005
Me: Hi. Just wondering hows the progress.
Support: Our administrators haven't replied yet, I will remind them about this issue.
07 November 2005 (a week later...)
Support: The server time is now correct, sorry for the delay.
11 November 2005
Me: (revived) *geez* ... *checking back the access log*, found that the admin already response to it and standardize all the timezone on 31 October as soon as I made the post, but some how the reply from support team reaches me a week later...but at least they still reply, ain't that a good thing ? ;)
Shouldn't they take care of this in early stage when server is set up ?
Smoked router - 10:48 pm
Crazy Stuff , Hardware , Internet , Personal - DaRen
It's been a while since I update my blog. Router got stroke by lightning during the storm. At first my housemate and me thought that the router is working fine, then later we found out that one port is damaged, and eventually the whole router broke down. In short, I lost internet connection until we got a new router. The good thing is, all the computers, notebooks, cable modem and anything that is plugged to the wall socket survived.
Now, here I am, back again.
Miserable days - 12:06 am
Personal - DaRen
My teeth gum is so painful that it causes pain to my cheek and neck too. Spent almost an hour to eat my dinner, most of the time I'm swallowing without chewing. Just took some drug to ease the pain..thinking of cooking porridge tomorrow if it's not getting better.

Wisdom Tooth Pain ~~ - 11:39 pm
Personal - DaRen
Weather is changing and I thought that I'm gotna have small fever today but something worse happened. I got a toothache ! Well, actually it's not really a toothache, it's just the gum after my left wisdom teeth is swollen... not the wisdom teeth itself...why swollen ? guess it's just the weather and my body temperature is higher though i drank a lot of water already... damn... it's so pain... arghhhh... somebody please grab a big piece of tofu and whack me to pass out... im serious !!!
Major site updates - 3:12 pm
Browser , Site Issue , Site Updates , Standards - DaRen
Recent site updates:
- fully XHTML 1.0 compliance (except the banner part from my hosting company)
- changes in some parts of the layout
- fixed the css/templates to make layout displayed corrently with Opera, FireFox and IE
- CAPTCHA (code verification) added to comment section
- shoutbox added (along with a stupid banner)
- fixed some broken bbcode parsing (eg. the [list] tag) and other codes
- added a lot of administration/management features to my admin control panel
Some findings
Im using 3 browsers, Opera, FireFox and IE6 to test my site, a normal routine, and I found that:
- Opera Smartest and fastest browser, although weak security support in early versions, but using the latest version 8.50, you can do things like online banking without trouble.
- Firefox A browser that is build 'strict' and doing things in 'strict' mode. I'm not saying this is bad, but sometimes it shows that the browser is somehow dumb, but still a lot better than IE in many ways. One thing I dislike about FireFox is how it handles the cache, clicking a "Back" button and your previous data in a form is lost and you need to retype EVERYTHING.
- IE6 Im using IE 6, haven't test out the latest IE 7, nothing much to say about it. Any human being who knows how a computer looks like, they surely seen IE in action or at least used it once. Good thing about IE ? they're everywhere...
No chance to use a Netscape browser, not really not having the chance, just that I'm lazy to download and install a 4th browser in my computer. Netscape Communicator was my first choice back in the old days until Opera is born.
Also found a free online XHTML conversion service, not tested.
Quote (from PSE, the website):
Translate a block of HTML, XHTML or XML script and turn it into a format compatible with XHTML. If you have tried translating old HTML into XHTML you will understand what a time consuming exercise this can be. Ensuring all tags are closed and attributes are quoted is tedious work. Finding where alt tags are missing from images is even harder. This utility also formats the document so that proper tag indentation is used, but without interfering with the visual appearance of the document.
