Lately I became addicted to papercraft. And a few weeks ago, I tried to join a Korean online papercraft community. I was surprised that my browser cannot display the Korean characters (Hangul CMIIW) properly. It only showed up as squares with small numbers.
As far as I know, I already installed the files for East Asian languages. I tried to open some random Chinese and Japanese websites. They all showed up fine. My system only can’t display Korean characters properly!
Although I can’t read any Korean character, at least I can tell the difference between words in that Korean web, if my browser can display them properly. 
This of course troubled me a lot.
Most of us have heard about computer virus, computer worms, or trojans. They are simply a (usually) small sized computer program, specially designed to damage other people’s systems. Once this virus or worm successfully infects a system, it will try to spread out to other systems to create greater damages. They corrupt files, slows down the system, clone themselves as much as possible, steal data or password, etc. Scary! Millions of losses have been caused by these malwares. In this article, I’d like to share my tips and tricks to help preventing your system from getting infected, or worse, damaged by these malwares.
Malwares evolutes rapidly every day. They got more and more features to get more success rate infecting the target systems. The creators of these malwares also find more and more creative ways to increase the chance to spread around their malwares. One of them, is to trick users with little knowledge of computer systems. The trick is by arming their malwares with the innocent look. Yes, they made them looks like the files or directory people would click everyday. They will try to mime many common files found in everybody’s computer, ie. image files, spreadsheet files, directories or folders, etc. All by simply using the same icon the system used to display our files or directories. If people clicked these “innocent looked” malwares, then they are going to be executed in the system. Which will trigger the infection. But what if we can identify these impostors just by looking at them? It would be cool right? Errr… no?
Do you feel bored with your room? Want to add something different to refresh it? How about adding a poster of your favorite picture? 
It can be a picture of your favorite actor or actress, a picture of your family members (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, children, etc.), a funny picture from your favorite cartoon, or any picture that makes you feel happy, fun, motivated, and refreshed whenever you’re looking at it. The picture selection is important here, since you’re going to look at it every time you enter your room. If by looking at this poster makes you feel better after your hard day at work or school, then it’s a good choice. Ok, let’s go on…
Almost everyday we search something on our favorite search engines, be it Google, Yahoo!, MSN, etc. We ask these search engines to find websites that’s related or having relations with the keywords we entered. If we enter “kitchen appliances” in the search box, we will get the site lists which has some content related to kitchen and it’s appliances. I’m sure most of us already know that long time ago.
Yesterday, a friend which also my co-worker showed me a logo and asked me, “Do you know what is the name of font used in this logo? Perhaps you recognized a name? I need it for my presentation slides.” I said, “There are tons of fonts existed in this world, and there’s no way I can recognize which fonts is this. I doubt I can recognize this fonts. But I’ll check the internet.”
Then I started to search something to help him solve this problem. I found several font search engines. Where you can type the fonts’ name you would like to download (or buy if it’s not free) in the search box, and you’ll get the list of the fonts that named as what you typed. If you typed “Impact”, then these fonts search engines will show you the links to get it. But of course these search engines cannot help my friend. We don’t have a clue what is this fonts’ name. All we have is the logo in .PNG format.
After searching for more information about this problem, finally I found something new to myself. It’s a font search engine based on how they look in an picture file. I didn’t know this thing exists. Neat huh?
Playing Mafia Wars in Facebook is very addictive for a lot of people
, including me.
A few days ago me and my friends played together. We exchanged loots, collections, etc. And then we compare our earned achievements. There is one achievement called “Spreading it around” which can be earned by gifting loots, weapons, armors, vehicles, or even collections to your mafia friends. It must be done 501 times where every item counts as 1. So when I give 5 Grenades to my friend, it counts as 5.
If you already know how to run your VirtualBox Virtual Machine as service, now you can run multiple VMs as service, all at once… Pretty cool isn’t it? 
Here is how we are going to do that…
After days of googling and a lot of trial and errors, I finally succeed running virtualbox as service. I tried VBoxVmService by mattz but have no luck. Then I tried another method with srvstart and Windows Service Commander explained here. It works for one Virtual Machine, but not for multiple Virtual Machines. While I need to run three Virtual Machines simultaneously. All without any user logged on! OK, enough talking, let’s start the tutorial…
