Adbrite Advertisement

Friday, October 30th, 2009

After I got kicked out on Adsense, I started using Adbrite. Although I really cannot compare their pay off, I am contented and happy on their system.

First, Adbrite is not that technical conscious and will not easily voted you off if you done something wrong with their guidelines. Plus they have this really cute under link thing also known as inline ads and full page ads, he he..  Especially now that I found a nice way to increase my publication advertisement, yehey! I really got thrilled, after using different method to increase my traffic I noticed that Muffie Shannen got fewer ads so I tried to increase again my viewers. But after pulling some tricks and implementing some method Adbrite’s ads came back!

As you can see Adbrite let advertisers choose which website to show their ads! Nice huh?! They even let sexy or something like that ads pass through! The next thing you will do is spread that you let people market on your website, nice huh?!

The Internet’s Ad Marketplace.

Cheat Domain

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I had the chance to talk to my brother’s friend Rodrigo, who is a System Admin and knows a lot of things regarding domain solutions and cheats he he.. So giving the chance I sprung some questions that might help me improve my petiks mode in the office!

We all had this security in the office where domain policies take effects such as:

I made up some solutions that might work or might not work:

  • USB not allowed, if you know the BIOS password then you’re safe, for now
  • Have you use proxy or tunnel site? We know almost all of them but unfortunately block by our System Admin. Sorry Accenture guys but you are not in domain, you are using VPN
  • Most of applications that we know run in .exe, so if you know apps that run in .dll mode then you can start downloading them in Portable Apps

I had checked the Portable Apps and hopefully I can run Google Chrome here in the office, he he..

Convenient

Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind.

Open

PortableApps.com provides a truly open platform that works with any hardware you like (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc). The entire platform is open source built around an open format that any hardware or software provider can use.

Free

The PortableApps.com Suite and Platform is free. It contains no spyware. There are no advertisements. It isn’t a limited or trial version. There is no additional hardware or software to buy. You don’t even have to give out your email address. It’s 100% free to use, free to copy and free to share.

FoxPro Save Code

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Saving a record in a table or database is one of the basic capabilities of Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Save applies to two meaning which is the Add and Edit. Add is incrementing a newly encode data to the table while Edit is amending or altering of your previously saved data.

First, saving of a data by Add:

SELECT TableName
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE FieldOne WITH THISFORM.TEXT1.Value
REPLACE FieldTwo WITH THISFORM.TEXT2.Value
REPLACE FieldThree WITH THISFORM.COMBO1.Value
REPLACE FieldFour WITH THISFORM.COMBO2.Value
INSERT INTO TableName (FieldOne, FieldTwo, FieldThree,FieldFour);
VALUES (THISFORM.TEXT1.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT2.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT3.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT4.Value)
Second saving a data by Edit:
SELECT TableName
REPLACE FieldOne WITH THISFORM.TEXT1.Value
REPLACE FieldTwo WITH THISFORM.TEXT2.Value
REPLACE FieldThree WITH THISFORM.COMBO1.Value
REPLACE FieldFour WITH THISFORM.COMBO2.Value
INSERT INTO TableName (FieldOne, FieldTwo, FieldThree,FieldFour);
VALUES (THISFORM.TEXT1.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT2.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT3.Value, ;
THISFORM.TEXT4.Value)

SELECT TableName

APPEND BLANK

REPLACE FieldOne WITH THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE

REPLACE FieldTwo WITH THISFORM.TEXT2.VALUE

REPLACE FieldThree WITH THISFORM.COMBO1.VALUE

REPLACE FieldFour WITH THISFORM.COMBO2.VALUE

Or

INSERT INTO TableName (FieldOne, FieldTwo, FieldThree,FieldFour);

VALUES (THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT2.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT3.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT4.VALUE)

Second saving a data by Edit:

SELECT TableName

REPLACE FieldOne WITH THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE

REPLACE FieldTwo WITH THISFORM.TEXT2.VALUE

REPLACE FieldThree WITH THISFORM.COMBO1.VALUE

REPLACE FieldFour WITH THISFORM.COMBO2.VALUE

Or

INSERT INTO TableName (FieldOne, FieldTwo, FieldThree,FieldFour);

VALUES (THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT2.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT3.VALUE, ;

THISFORM.TEXT4.VALUE)

Microsoft Visual FoxPro

Friday, July 24th, 2009

foxpro

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Microsoft Visual FoxPro, it is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming language produced by Microsoft. You can create database, table, local view, remote view, connection, form, report, class, code and menu.

It gives you the opportunity to develop a program or application on a standalone computer or even on a local area connection database. One of its capabilities is to support SQL query and data manipulation. Unlike most database management systems, Visual FoxPro is a full-featured, dynamic programming language that does not require the use of an additional general-purpose programming environment.

I wanted to clear up some confusion created over the past couple of years surrounding the FoxPro; specifically how other tells that it is an obsolete programming language. As other Programmer stated, it meant to streamline the work experience and provide easy manageability to Programmer with the utilization of its feature. The strategy with Microsoft Visual FoxPro short for VFP is to facilitate or assist you on developmental task content, not to be a conventional service.

Last few months, Marlow Navigation IT Department makes use of Microsoft Visual FoxPro as means of Solutions Developers main tool to develop programs in different department and unit. In response, a total of six programs were made and still ongoing up to this date and more than a fifty employees are using it.

I am still in very early stages of developing with Microsoft Visual FoxPro system, but I wanted to share some knowledge and information I learned so I will be posting codes on my next post.

As always, keep the feedback coming as I continue to think about ways to share this very useful tool.

Top Ten Application to be Installed

Friday, July 10th, 2009

After I bought a laptop and formatted it with Windows XP (I’m comfortable with XP than Vista) and installed its driver (drivers are included when you buy a laptop or any computer hardware), I still can’t fully utilize it without my top ten must-have application/program to be installed on my workstation. So here goes my list according to what I need and of course what I want..

Irfanview 4.10

Since the company I am working deals a lot with scanned documents such as contracts, pictures, certificates, passport, etc that needed to be kept and upload, we are required to deal with the Irfanview for proper uploading on the database.

QuickTime

My multimedia preference and suitable for Iphone, Itouch or any Apple products

Macromedia

Macromedia Fireworks, Macromedia Flash and Macromedia Dreamweaver are my list of Macromedia. Although I didn’t fully utilize them, they are great alternative for Adobe Photoshop, Moviemaker or PHP or Notepad.

Chrome

I got better viewing of my WordPress in Chrome than Internet Explorer plus I like their interface.

Skype or Yahoo Messenger

Must have messenger! You can contact me on my Skype account muffie.rojas and my Yahoo Messenger account m_f_t_rojas

Chikka

Don’t have any load? You can text for free using this messenger. But aside from sending message to computer, your message will be forward on the cell phone. You have different credits on Smart, Globe, US Mobile Phones, Cingular Wireless, Sun, Guam Cell, Saipan Cell, India Mobile Phones, , Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, Excelcomindo, Nextel, Boost, UK, Spain, 1528 Smart HK, Smart Pinoy Italy.

Adobe Photoshop

Do I need to explain?! Before uploading pictures, you need to at least resize, add designs, and of course edit your picture for more effect and to erase those unwanted pixel ha ha!!

Microsoft Visual Foxpro

My first fully learned program. Very usable in making a system in different unit or department plus it is very easy to utilize. I’ll be posting more FoxPro code on my upcoming articles.

Eset Antivirus

My workstation defense against viruses, spyware, root kits, and other internet attacks. Keeping my workstation and data safe from hackers and thieves.

Microsoft Office 2007

My all-around application that is being use. We have the MS Excel, MS Outlook, MS PowerPoint, MS Publisher, MS Word and MS Project. I‘m betting on Microsoft Office 2007, not that I don’t like the Microsoft Office 2003, but 2007 got more features than the latter and I’m used to 2007.

That’s it for now.. More Top Ten to come!

E Voucher – My First Baby

Friday, June 19th, 2009

E Voucher

I started programming using Microsoft Visual FoxPro last August 2008. My first project – Electronic Voucher also known as E Voucher. Although I am not familiar with programming and I really sucked in codes (I can’t even make a decent program when I was in college), I was forced to do the project because our first Solution Developer left.

I started with the basic, the Add, the Edit and the Delete, and being an optimistic I thought it was easy! But as the demand of the function increased, same with pressure I got. Remember that I don’t have any background in any kind of programming language. E-Voucher could have been easy but the facts it consist of accounting chuva chenez make it worse! Cash and Check Voucher, Report Expenses, Summary of Accounts and Summary of Expenses – please bring me back to Technical Support!

I spent so many hours working and developing my knowledge in Microsoft Visual FoxPro on that project. Cases such as late night work, Saturday duty and Holiday duty are pretty known and common to me. And I had learned a lot on that project especially the ‘work around’ technique. My boss introduce to me the meaning of work around, and I have a different meaning on that word – an improvise function that is hidden within your codes intended to replace a code that is not yet known to me.

Aside from that I had this bizarre dream at night where I was still coding. Plus my social life temporary disappeared. But let’s not make my first baby a monster! I am happy that I got that project because I am here where I suppose to be. I was forced to study and learn, and it was not so bad. I had sacrificed a lot but it’s all worth it. Now my horizon is getting wider and I it all started on my E Voucher.

Now I dedicate a part of my blog on program codes to those who might want to learn or looking for codes. Hope that this might help others not to turn to work around.

Watch out for more Microsoft Visual FoxPro codes that I used in E Voucher, Muffie Shannen signing off..
