I am still in the process on transferring my blog to a new host and registrar. And I can’t still figure it out how to restore my old wordpress account. Will try to see what can i do in the next following days. Please check it out soon.

Updates! as of January 1, 2010 at 3:35AM

Yehey!!! I’ve already configured the site correctly! Wheeeeeee… I am so proud that I manually backed-up my SQL database and my previously published posts. Well, this might be my number one priorityin my new year’s resolution list. I want to resolve every single problem with immediate action without excuses because I CAN DO IT!

I think that will be all for now, I need to take a little rest and will published more posts tomorrow. I might also publish how did I transfer my blog to a new host and host did I backed-up my SQL manually. That’s it all folks! See ya!

To Upgrade… or Not to Upgrade?

(0)

Category : Programming, Wordpress

Have you found my disturbing flicker photostream at the right side of my site? Yes, I really want to change it. And yes, I’ve found a plugin that suits my needs, the NextGEN Gallery.

NextGEN Gallery is a full integrated Image Gallery plugin for WordPress with a Flash slideshow option. Before I start writing the plugin I study all photo and picture plugins for WordPress, I figure out that some of them are really good and well designed, but I missed a simple and easy administration back end to handle multiple photos, galleries and albums.

I successfully downloaded and deployed NextGEN Gallery plugins through Filezilla FTP, configured a little settings and what I got is the BOLD letter that says:

Sorry, NEXTGEN Gallery works only under wordpress 2.7 or higher

What a heck? I forgot to read it’s minimum requirements.

Requirements

* WordPress 2.7.x or above
* PHP 5.2 or higher
* GD 2 Library
* Freetype Support (for Watermark)
* Safe-Mode Off (for more function)
* Memory limit should 16MB or more

Now, the only option I have is to upgrade my wordpress version. I hurriedly googled the upgrade instructions and it seems that it’s not that easy. Hay, reading those instructions gets me sleepy… maybe next time…

Uncrippling Windows XP’s IIS 5.1

For future reference, just want to post another work-around in setting a maximum users in XP Pro IIS Server.

Server Problem No. 2: IIS failed to start

(1)

Category : Classic ASP

During the NGCP’s privatization last June 30, 2009, I was transferred to NOD. One of my duties and responsibilities is to manage and maintain their intranet wherein almost all of their reporting system resides. I’ve mentioned last time that I am having a problem with the connectivity. This time, another problem was raised and I considered it a difficult one.

Last night, I’m surprised when my sister told me that Diday (one of my colleague) was looking for me and it’s quite unusual. And when I called her, Lo and Behold, it’s just what I’m thinking. NOD intraweb cannot be accessed!

Dreamweaver: Database connectivity fails with local ASP.NET and ASP servers

Category : ASP.NET, Classic ASP

It’s been years that I’ve been using Dreamweaver as part of my development in my ASP webpages and there is only one glitch that always gave me a headache, the database connectivity. I am quite sure that I’ve made a note of this resolution few years back but since I’ve got a memory-gap, this was misplaced somewhere. Now, I have to find it again at Adobe.com official website and it takes me an hour to locate the exact issue. With this experiences, I decided to post it here in my blog for future shortcomings…

A new look and new change?

(3)

Category : Wordpress

I decided to change the look of my site. The old one seems too heavy and most of the pictures are delayed to load. Hope this new look will elapse in long period of time.

Frankly, the main reason why I change the theme of my blog is because I want to divert all my anxiousness in predicting my future as an employee. It’s been 4 months and 29 days since NGCP takes over the operation of TransCo and until now its employees are frightened they might be jobless in a month. The postponement of releasing the concessionaire’s Table of Organization (TO) feels like they’re murdering us inch-by-inch.

They’ve said, the releasing of TO will be next week, will this be a new change for all of us?

State Management in Classic ASP

(0)

Category : Personal, Wordpress

I have been using classic ASP for quite sometime. Even now, I have used it for corporate intraweb in order to meet the diverse information needs of each employee. Classic ASP helped me in succeeding intraweb systems but it is too old for this generation and might adhere into hijacking. The following I’ve found in a book (ASP.NET Bible) on how classic ASP leads to security threats.

In classic ASP, when a client requests ASP scripts from a Web server, a session is established between the client and the server. During this session establishment, the Web server generates a Session ID cookie and send it to the client. The Session ID cookie is sent to the lcient in HTTP header. Therefore, to identify its session data in subsequent requests, the client sahres a common key (Session ID cookie) with the Web Server. This state management model works well for the clients that accept HTTP cookies. However, there are certain cookie is the only way a browser request is identified. Any other HTTP request with matching cookie is assumed to have come from the same browser. Thus, a hacker who succeeds in hijacking the cookie could use a user’s active session. Due to these security theats, some clients disable cookies and thus disable session state on the server. Thus, the ASP scripts do not work well for the clients who not accept HTTP cookies.

From this reason, I might consider transferring the system into .NET but this might take me some months to develop as I would start from scratch. I have a little knowlegde in .NET (especifically ASP.NET) but little by little I could make it succeeded one day.
