Math Tutor

January 26th, 2010

Thanks to my friend in my K12 School, I have access to a great free math help online now. I was struggling on this subject for a long time. I was in need of extra tutorial to better understand the concept. Moreover, I can not ignore this abstract subject because I want to be a rocket scientist (that is right, a rocket scientist, literally) in the future. It is a big dream for me and I think it can not be realized without I am good in solving mathematical problems in school.

Now, I do not have a big problem in solving math problems. Not only K12 math resources, but I am sure that free math help will also a great backup to solve math problems when I enter the college in the near future. Well, I cross my fingers on that.

In this math help online, it provides me with free math answer and excellent math problem solver. I remember one time; my math teacher gave the students in my class a hard math equation. Next to math equation was a hard math problem. Not even the smarter kid can understand and solve the problem. Meanwhile, I have read the material in the free math answer problem solver once. I surprised the teacher by giving the right answer to the math problems and excellent explanation to the equation. I still remember all my friend’s faces. Priceless!

Who can beat google?

January 25th, 2010

Personally for now i can say, no one or nothing can stop Google. Most of their invention (read: product) always brings a big changes in the way we use the internet. Form “simple” search engine application to chrome OS, they always offer something that sometime we cant resist. Yes I’m a big fan of Google but you have to accept that Google hold important part in internet development nowadays.

Recently Google release an update of their chrome browser, chrome browser 4.0. It is only un update, yes, but it bring a lot of changes to chrome browser. i already use chrome browser since its first version. Fast response, unusually good UI, those are the impressions i got when i was using chrome browser for the first time. Something that keeps me using Firefox instead of chrome as my default browser was the lack support of plugins or add-ons. I’m a blogger and i need some plugins for my hobby.

Now with chrome 4.0, all the fans don’t need to worry anymore, if Firefox has something called plugins, chrome has extensions. Actually, this feature already released by Google a while ago in the development channel of chrome. But now, they release it for real, in the stable channel, means that this feature already pass the exam and graduated from Google labs :D.

So what exactly does Google chrome offer to us?. Beside it support for extensions that of course means a lot, it’s also has some other features such us HTML 5 support. Below is the complete list of major features that we can found in Google chrome 4.0.

  • Extensions
  • Bookmark sync
  • Enhanced developer tools
  • HTML5: Notifications, Web Database, Local Storage, WebSockets, Ruby support
  • v8 performance improvements
  • Skia performance improvements
  • Full ACID3 pass, due to re-enabled remote font support (with added defense against bugs in operating system font libraries)
  • HTTP byte range support
  • New security feature: “Strict Transport Security” support
  • Experimental new anti-reflected-XSS feature called “XSS Auditor”

Once again, yes it’s just an update, but it’s a big one. I really like extension and HTML5 support features, but i think I’ll write something about HTML5 in another chance.

Maybe, now you can try out its new feature, extensions.

you can download google chrome and install some extensions.

July 18th, 2009

Economic  recession, something that brings nightmare  to most of the countries in the world right now. Some people said this is the hard time for all of us. In time like this, when we lost money, lost out job, the question is what should we do?. Just imagine a time line, the thing we should do to get over form the situation like now, are the things that we should had done in the past. invest, in something that wouldn’t took the negative impact of economic recession, and what is that, Gold, Gold Bricks, Gold coins, and all other kinds of gold.

Invest in gold or buy gold i thing is the best solution that we can do. Of course it need relatively lots of money, but you always can start from the small one, gold coins is a good start, the question is where and how, you can buy gold coins in this gold coins seller. Its a trusted company, you can found the information about it in some of national or international medias such as CNBS, Google news or forbes.com, or you can always read the testimonials that you can found in the site.

From coins you can buy gold bullion, it sound easy, yes off course, all you need to do is invest some of your money right now, and wait one two, or few years later, and lets see the benefit later, of course you can imagine it. however this is just a suggestion, all is up to you..

Fix disabled readfile function in PHP

June 1st, 2009

Recently i had a problem with my blog. Actually the problem was on the server sever side where my blog hosted. I use a theme that require or use timthumb plugin. Maybe you already knew, i used it to generate and display thumbnail image, pretty good. The problem is the timthumb plugin use readfile function to read the image file and i dont know for sure why, my hosting service administrator just listed it as a disabled PHP function.

I do the ritual, search for a solution, and the only alternative i found is to change the the readfile function. There are some function alternative i think, combination between fopen and fpassthru worked on some server (it works on my private/offline server) but file_get_contents function works best.

this is the example code,  (timthumb.php)

$fileSize = filesize( $cache_file );
 
header( "Content-Type: " . $mime_type );
header( "Accept-Ranges: bytes" );
header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate( 'D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime( $cache_file ) ) . " GMT" );
header( "Content-Length: " . $fileSize );
header( "Cache-Control: max-age=9999, must-revalidate" );
header( "Etag: " . md5($fileSize . $gmdate_mod) );
header( "Expires: " . gmdate( "D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + 9999 ) . "GMT" );
readfile( $cache_file );
exit;

i replace the readfile function and become

$fileSize = filesize( $cache_file );
 
header( "Content-Type: " . $mime_type );
header( "Accept-Ranges: bytes" );
header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate( 'D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime( $cache_file ) ) . " GMT" );
header( "Content-Length: " . $fileSize );
header( "Cache-Control: max-age=9999, must-revalidate" );
header( "Etag: " . md5($fileSize . $gmdate_mod) );
header( "Expires: " . gmdate( "D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + 9999 ) . "GMT" );
 
$img_data = file_get_contents( $cache_file );
 
echo $img_data;
 
exit;

i hope this helps.
