View my Blog on an iPhone/iPod Touch

Mobile Safari ScreenshotI’ve just installed a new Plug-in for my wordpress. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch. Trying viewing my webpage. It looks great. optimized for the apple web devices (not to mention it uses ajax for faster interaction and more eye candy effects). I still haven’t tried them yet using windows mobile internet explorer or nokia symbian smartphone browsers. maybe some of you who have these Phones/PDAs can send me some screenshot (it would be very helpful).

NEW mobile theme: WPtouch iPhone Theme (By Dale Mugford & Duane Storey)
OLD mobile theme: Wordpress PDA & iPhone (By Imthiaz Rafiq)

Dont’ get me wrong, i still like the old plugin which I am using. its looks great for both mobile safari and mobile IE. i just like the new feel.

Installing Zend Studio 5.5.1 on Windows 7

As much as i like Zend Studio 6 and 7. I still prefer using version 5.5 And if you are one like me who have problems installing this on a windows 7. He’re how i fixed my problem.

Here’s how I installed it, taken from zend forums (http://www.zend.com/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=7855). This worked for me in Windows 7. Modify the paths below as needed for your installation of Windows 7.

  1. Download and install the latest JRE for Windows: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
  2. Download and install WinRAR: http://rarlabs.com (be sure to install with Explorer shell extension).
  3. Downloaded Zend Studio 5.5.1
  4. Right-click the Zend Studio install file and choose WinRAR > Extract Here.
  5. Go into the folder Windows\resource (the newly-created Windows folder, NOT your system Windows folder).
  6. Rename the “jre” folder to “jre backup”.
  7. Copy your C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6 folder into that resource folder and rename “jre6″ to “jre”.
  8. Go back into that Windows folder and double-click ZendStudio-5_5_1.exe to install it.
  9. When it is finished installing, copy your “jre backup” folder into your Zend Studio 5.5 installation folder.
  10. Rename “jre” to “jre another backup”
  11. Rename “jre backup” to “jre”
  12. Run Zend Studio in compability mode for Windows Vista

Hope this helps.

New iPod Shuffle

Apple just release a sleek upgrade for their iPod shuffle.

My opinion:

  • it has a better look (looks even better when its beside my MacBook)
  • I like the way you can organize your songs by totally ignoring the iPod itself. (since you have all the buttons you need near your face/head). Which is why you can only use Apple Earphones to use this.
  • very handy when you’re out jogging or working out.
  • VoiceOver technology tells you track information over your headphone

Macbook Pro

i just bought a macbook pro (15″ 2.53GHz version) this morning (some where in manila)… i think the buyers ebay ID is consult.gadget … anyway, i already tried a bunch of software i pre downloaded (i was using a hackintosh before on my dv6149us HP)… at least I can remove my hackintosh partition and just retain the vista/ubuntu combination… ^_^…

Triple Boot (Vista SP1, Max OSX 10.5.5, Ubuntu 8.10)

I just successfully triple booted my HP Pavillion (dv6149us). :-) At 1st it was just Vista, then i installed iDeneb 10.5.5 (Hackintosh) and just yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 (yataaa!!!)… after 4 times of partition and 3 times installation and resintallation of ubuntu… it finally worked… but my dafault bootloader now is GRUB… i kinda liked Darwin (from OSX86) better… but hey, what works well is good enough, than “not” working at all…

Anyway, just this morning, I enabled Compiz (Beryl)… on my Linux boot… and i was surprised how easily I installed it… unlike from the previous versions… and unlike my MacOSX86… most of the drivers in my laptop, worked perfect (esp the most important ones)…

Maybe sometime, I’ll try and write a tutorial on how i did the installation(s).

New Macbooks (drooool :-P~)

Apple just released some new macbooks. And improved its physical design significantly. Its a good thing I’m still saving for it, or else I might have bought the black plastic one already. Now I just have to save a bit more, because the new macbooks introductory price is US$1299.
