Blogroll Wanted!

Friday, March 30th, 2007

It’s been a while since I last updated my Blogroll. I’m now free to spend some time on this blog for some enhancements(?), I don’t know, probably some changes and more. Most of all, I would like someone to recommend his/her own blog to me, and I will go and read it like there’s no tomorrow, then I’ll list it in my blogroll if it’s real good. Please be noticed that this is a ONE WAY LINK only, that means I’m NOT asking for a back link.

I will not list out my criteria here, you are the judge of yourself, but it’s strictly blog only please. Someone out there, please enlighten this poor soul here. Leave your comment with your blog URL or contact me with the contact form.

Lastly, spammers, GO A W A Y.

Antivirus, and Windows Live Messenger.

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I’ve been using my laptop for quite some time, not much changes since the last time I used Windows XP Pro. This post is actually inspired by the expiry of subscription of Norton Antivirus 2004 that came along with this laptop. This post is also dedicated to my dear sister Stella, she’s got redundant problems maintaining her own machine.

Okay, so my long lasting situation is, no extra $ for the softwares. Since the Norton Antivirus 2004 is expiring, and according to the message I have to get the new subscription key from a local vendor, if only I know who is that. So forget it, I chose to completely remove it from the system. Now damn, here comes the all-knowing magic balloon, saying that my computer might be at risk without a antivirus program.

Now look at these two products, limited features, but more than enough for a single home user. Solutions don’t always cost you money, if you know how. This post is no way affiliated with the following vendors, this is just my gratitude to them, for releasing quality products under Free-Software license.

PHP VS ASP.NET - Connecting to Database.

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Continue the series of PHP VS ASP.NET. My previous post covered the installations of both MySQL and MSSQL database on Windows XP Pro. Today we are going to connect to the database programmatically, as in using the database along with your server-side scripts.

PHP
PHP + MySQL is always my favorite combo for web application. The connection to MySQL database in PHP is fairly simple.

Codes:

<?php
$conString 
mysql_connect(“host”“username”“password”);
mysql_select_db(“databasename”$conString);
?>
