Thunderbird 1.0 is Out!

After [FireFox](http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) hit 1.0 a few weeks ago, now it is [Thunderbird](http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/)’s turn. This is a boon to Windows users whose OS doesn’t come with a decent email client. Download size for Windows is only 5.8 MB. Yes, Outlook/Outlook Express users, I’m talking to you, make your switch now and enjoy a better email client.… Continue reading Thunderbird 1.0 is Out!

PHP Programmers: Please Learn to Escape Your Data Correctly!

I really don’t like the way PHP is heading now, but still PHP is probably used by more web based project than all other languages combined. In my unscientific opinion, PHP programmers tend to make more elementary mistakes than programmers of other languages. This is probably caused by the abundance of poor programming examples on… Continue reading PHP Programmers: Please Learn to Escape Your Data Correctly!

Installing Fedora Core 3 Inside a VMWare Virtual Machine

Several months ago, I tried installing [Fedora Core 2](http://fedora.redhat.com) inside a VMWare virtual machine. The experience was less than satisfying. Installation process took an obscene amount of time, and even a simple booting took no less than 20 minutes! :( Mind you, I haven’t had the chance to install FC2 in a real hardware, so… Continue reading Installing Fedora Core 3 Inside a VMWare Virtual Machine

Converting UUEncode Attachment into Proper MIME Format in KMail

Some [joker](http://yulian.firdaus.or.id) has been sending attachments in antiquated [UUencode](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencode) format :). Since my email client [KMail](http://kmail.kde.org) does not support UUencode, I had to find some way to convert UUencoded files into proper [MIME](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME) attachment. After trying several ideas I’ve found on the Net, the best way to accomplish this is by using [uu2mime](http://dev.gentoo.org/~agriffis/uu2mime/), a [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org)… Continue reading Converting UUEncode Attachment into Proper MIME Format in KMail

Don’t Let Friends Use Word

Found this hillarious picture about Microsoft Word. This could make an excellent [OpenOffice](http://www.openoffice.org) marketing material in the spirit of [this Firefox’s marketing material](http://secandri.com/blog/2004/10/14/dont-let-friends-use-ie/). After Firefox manages to hold some grounds, I think the next logical step is office software. And then of course, the operating system itself!

Using Bookmarklets in Konqueror

From [Wikipedia entry on bookmarklets](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet): > A bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program that can be stored as a URL within a bookmark in most popular web browsers, or within hyperlinks on a web page. Because Microsoft Internet Explorer uses the term favorites instead of bookmarks, bookmarklets are also less commonly called favelets. > Bookmarklets… Continue reading Using Bookmarklets in Konqueror
