If you have a blog in Blogger, you’ll realize that it does not have the option to password protect your posts like Wordpress does. However, there is a way around it, thanks to Vincent which uses Javascript to encrypt and decrypt the text. Here’s a step by step tutorial (complete with pics. YEY!)

As much as I loved the old Gossip City theme by Elena G. of DesignDisease.Com, it was time to look for a new theme because I found that the previous theme was rather slow to load. Probably because it had a lot of graphics. So I deleted lots of unused plugins and also installed wp-cache.

Which was just in time because on the very next day, one of my blog post was linked in an article by TheStarOnline and bombarded with so many hits. In fact, until today I’m still getting hits from that the star.

As you can see from the picture above. I usually get an average of 60-100 visitors a day depending on what I write about and if I ping PPS or visit lots of blogs. I had about 1k hits on the 10th because that was the post about Sufiah Yusof Video interview. Then on the 14th, I had a whopping 5000 plus hits.

Its funny because seriously I just wrote the post because I was sad I couldn’t make it and found the videos and reactions of people who were clueless about the KL Freeze very funny so I decided to share it. Even the word ‘pavilion’ in the URL is mistyped because I was sleepy when I wrote it.

I guess its back to normal visitors as of now. I hope that some of the visitors who came that day found my blog interesting and hopefully will come back again.

Back to the orginal paragraph about my blog being slow, I decided to change my theme to a lighter one with less graphics. Hopefully this time its faster yea?

p/s: Im going to a pre-screening of the movie The Forbidden Kingdom at 10am in the morning so more on that later! Tak jadi. long story

I wanted to install Heroes of Might and Magic IV (yea i know, old game) because I found the CD when I was clearing my table and was wondering how come i bought the CD and never ended up playing. Perhaps my earlier system couldn’t support it.

Anyway, so I ran the installation file and got this error (click to see a bigger pic in a new window):

Lol! Apparently 2gb of memory may make my game run sluggishly, become unstable or fail to run at all.
In the end, I couldn’t install it coz it was stuck at 78%. No wonder I didn’t install it the last time

That’s a picture of my new rig. Thought of getting silver and black casing to match my monitor & speakers but the silver/black one doesn’t look so nice as this red/black one. Its not so fancy or kelip2 with blues and greens but its good enough. Besides, case modding is mostly for eye candy. Its the INSIDE that counts isn’t it?

Specifications :

• Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz
• 2.00 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
• CD/DVDW (which I nicked off my previous PC)
• 320GB HDD
• Some not-a-cap-ayam PSU (slightly more pricy then the normal PSU)

Total cost :RM1870 + RM53 for 50 pcs blank DVDs. Many2 thanks to Perampok (www.perampok.com) for pasang-ing the PC and transfering the dick, opps typo disk drive + data from the old hd to the new one. Thx to arep for following to Lowyat and then lunch at Nandos, Midvalley where the service sucked :/

Lepaked with the boys at Kelana Jaya last nite watching the Manchester United - Liverpool game. MU won 3-0. I bet Liverpool fans like a certain 39-yr-old-golf-instructor-who-just-got-married and a 30-plus-man-who-is-going-to-get-married was pissed. I’m sure the former lost lots of money in betting. Got home about 12.45am

Took out both CPUs from the car. Left the old one under the stairs to be brought up tomorrow. Cleared up my room and swept under my table. Its a bit dusty already there. Note to self: Do laundry and vacuum carpet. Fixed up the PC and had problems with my wireless connection, as usual. Dont know why it always takes me a couple of tries baru jadi. Must be something with the settings (even tho i oredi godek2 all the settings). Finally got the internet connected and all the important programs installed. So happy to hv the new faster pc.

Uh, i hv Software Requirements class today at 2pm. Im lazy to go. Come give me a good reason not to go. LOL! I is lazzyyyyy!

p/s:My sidebar is a bit rosak. The part above the search button. Will fix it later.

I have 2 hard drives in that PC - one 60gb & another 80gb. The smaller one is where I put my Windows and program files, its quite old, given to me by a friend when I had PC problems. Anyway, it decided to die on me last week. Just gave me a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) then Disk boot error. I was just waiting for it to kaput so I had all my files backup-ed earlier so its no big loss. Its just a question of whether I have the funds to replace it or not. Not only that, im using 512 MB of SDRAM and

So now I have to turn to my laptop. Portable but heavy (2.7kg) and gets hot fast. I simply hated the Vista Home basicit was running on. Programs would just suddenly have the error message "Not Responding" and everything will be laggy. I had problems even opening photoshop so Im sure opening 3dsmax 6 or unreal editor 2004 might be worst. Not to mention I can’t use CS3 on it. Finally, i got Arep to help me downgrade it to WinXP. tengkiu Arep!

So that explains why i haven’t been updating these past few days. Hopefully my dad agrees to change my pc because i really need a better one He did mention something about it but I’m not going to believe it till i get the physical cash in hand. Here’s hoping he does get it for me *crosses fingers*

Yep, changed my theme again. Modified it heavily from the original Deliciously Nature. Want to change the top header and I tried to make it smaller but couldn’t Don’t have my Dreamweaver on this laptop so I lack the proper tools. Editing in notepad is not an easy task.

Anyway, this is just a short note. Report if you have any problems or bugs with this new theme.
