Flash objects break wordpress in Internet Explorer
Today I had problem loading my pages properly in Firefox but not Internet Explorer, I wondered why this happen as I never had this problem with my blog before. At first I thought there was a problem with the scripts, but it still won’t load completely even after disabling the scripts, then I tried to disable activex controls, and it loaded perfectly without the flash objects. Then I suspect the flash videos I have is causing those problems, I tried different flash objects and I found out that those with <object> tags won’t break the page, but those with <embed> actually do. I changed all my videos to
<ins><object type=’application/x-shockwave-flash’ data=’somefile.swf’><param
name=’allowScriptAccess’ value=’sameDomain’ /><param name=’movie’ value=’somefile.swf’><param
name=’quality’ value=’best’/><param name=’bgcolor’ value=’#ffffff’ /><param
name=’scale’ value=’noScale’ /><param name=’wmode’ value=’window’/><param name=’salign’
value=’TL’ /></object></ins>

My former Blogger’s blog doesn’t update in technorati
My former blog angelchen1111.blogspot.com doesn’t update in technorati at all, except for the links. The last date I updated it was Saturday, October 21, 2006. but in technorati it says it was updated 67 days ago, the exact day I created that blog in Blogger. I don’t know why, I only have problem with that blog, I don’t have problem with other blogs like this blog and the other blog from Blogger.
3D Desktop! TouchScreen and XGL on Linux
found in here
“I use: Gentoo linux, penmount usb touchscreen, XGL Gnome and my hands!!!!! Bill Barsch. Goiania-Goias”
I can’t post the google videos directly to wordpress from google, I had to copy and paste the code to post it here.
How to get rid of the wide spaces between the post body in WordPress
Sometimes we see some annoying wide spaces in between the post body, which makes the post looks wierd, like this one in the picture. That’s because the theme’s stylesheet made the post body’s texts to align justified. To get rid of those wide spaces we have to open the file style.css in the folder “wp-content/themes/your theme”, find the .post { section or .entry-content { section if you’re using K2 and change text-align: justify; to text-align: left; to make the text to align left, so that they won’t make wide spaces by sometimes aligning left and sometimes aligning right. After changing this file the wide spaces will be gone.
I got too many wide space in between the post body(solved)
I got too many wide space in between the post body, does anyone know how to get rid of them? 
Today I googled “tipspedia.info” and found many copied pages from my post
Today I searched “tipspedia.info” in google and found some sites that contain an excerpt of my previous post that says “today I got the domain tipspedia.info……….” (which I deleted) along with other posts’ excerpts. Some of those websites were http://askthewebhost.net/blogs/ftp-hosting, http://www.propraetor.com/ftp_hosting/, http://paypal-coupon-code.zzdeals.com/, and http://trusted-info-net.com/blogs/yahoo-domain-hosting. On the right side of those websites come a list of other posts and mostly important, ads from adsense.
At first I was curious about why they do that until I see the ads over there, they do that because they want people to click their ads, those guys collect excerpts of posts by doing google blog search with some high paying keywords for the ads and put them together so that the search engine show their website more often, most of them shows a link for the original posts on every posts, but some won’t! Some of them even label the ads with misleading labels like “my websites”. That sucks, they’re like using our posts for their ad purposes.
Finally I moved my blog to http://www.theusefulblog.com
Today I decided to use the domain theusefulblog.com for my blog and use Wordpress to host my blog instead of Blogger. I decided not to use tipspedia.info since .info domain kinda sucks. I bought a very cheap web hosting from CirtexHosting which is only $2.50 a month or $24 a year. Despite its low price, I found the service is excellent, it gives you 5000 MB Storage, 100 GB Bandwidth, PHP, CGI, MYSQL, and 5 Email / FTP Accounts in the basic plan, it’s almost never down and its support is also excellent, and it has Live Support where they answer your questions very quickly, the email support is also very fast.
After I created the host and installed WordPress on it I started to migrate the old posts from Blogger to WordPress. Because my Blogger was beta I can’t import it directly, I had to import its post’s RSS to the new blog, after importing I found the timestamp was off by seven hours I had to change them back one by one by hand, I also had to type the comments in one by one again since I don’t know how to import them from Blogger to WordPress 
. It took me about three hours to do all those…. Finally I finish migrating by putting the customization I had from Blogger to here and pick a theme for my new blog.
Right now I just don’t know how to change the top menu for this K2 style TrueBlue, the links over there are not obvious enough,
if anybody know how to make it look better please tell me about that by leaving a comment here.
How to recover a corrupt registry that prevents Windows from booting
Today my friend had a problem with his computer, while Windows is booting it restarted unexpectedly without leaving any error message. I tried to boot under safe mode, but still had the same problem, it restarted again. I then tried the start up option “Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure” on the boot menu, this time it gave me the blue screen with the message “registry error 0×000051” and it told me that registry was corrupt. Because of this I had to use the recovery console to replace the corrupt registry with the last good registry found inside the System Volume Information folder, which is where the System Restore’s files located.
Here’s how I did that:
- After logging in to the recovery console cd to C:\System Volume Information, then dir to list the directories inside of it, you’ll see a lot of folder named _restore{*} along with their date, cd to the most recent _restore{*} . If you don’t know what recovery console is or you’re not comfortable with it please check out this page.
- List all files inside of it and choose the most recent folder RPxxx that you think the registry at that date was still not corrupted.
- Cd to the folder Snapshot.
- List all files again and you’ll notice something like
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
_REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT - Back up the existing registries in the system folder just in case of the something goes wrong we can restore those registries
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy
c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy
c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak - Replace the corrupt registry in the system by running
copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy _registry_machine_sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy _registry_machine_security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy _registry_user_.default c:\windows\system32\config\default
- After replace the above files restart the computer and it should boot appropriately again.
