2 Colums or 3 Columns
Written by techieDan on May 16, 2008 – 9:44 pmPersonally, some people find that on a site, it’s wise to design your blog into a 2 column blog. Though times have changed, there are even four column blog themes. But then that’s out of the topic.
To me I personally feel that I have a balance of both 2 and 3 columns amongst all my blogs. Well, having said that, it all depends on your taste or whatever you’re blogging about. Some even put their blogroll on the main page, which I presumably would ensure that this kind of blog needs a 3 column theme.
Practical isn’t it? Well, why do you chose a 3 column, 2 column, sometimes is just a mystery. But I’ve a 2 column blog theme modified on the design. The problem is how do I create the Blog Theme Viewer for others to demo. This is getting on my nerve.

Keyboard Style Typing
Written by techieDan on May 13, 2008 – 1:40 pmIf you’re into computers, most of you younger ones or rather addictive ones will be able to master this sort of skill in a few months, or even a year. Well, what I meant was your fingers grew accustomed to the keyboard you’re using that it seems they are glued towards the keyboard.
This ain’t a syndrome. Well, you can call it sticky fingers syndrome. I used to type on a laptop during my earlier working days, thus I am so not used to a keyboard all of a sudden. But then it takes time to get used to it. Now typing on a keyboard seems mighty easy without me even looking at the keyboard and monitor while talking to someone.
By the way not all people type the same way, some uses the traditional way, but most of the time I will be using like 2 or 3 finger from each hand. This is kind of peculiar, don’t you think so. It’s like your fingers know where to go to type and how wide the keyboard is.

Samsung DVD Super WriteMaster
Written by techieDan on May 10, 2008 – 10:09 pmSo I got myself a samsung dvd super writemaster. Yes, I have been sticking to my old faithful CD Writer but then I felt enough is enough, but actually mainly due to my DVD-ROM already malfunctioning. So because of that, a new DVD Writer is in the hands.

So farewell CD-Rs, it’s time for more DVD writing instead. I am so backend, don’t you think so?

mySQL reset root password
Written by techieDan on May 7, 2008 – 10:48 amI’ve been using mysql for quite some time, and ever then after I shifted to a work place which uses msSQL, I felt that I’ve neglected mySQL for awhile. Basically one main question I had previously and just recently asked by my colleague is to how to change the root user password?
Here I will teach you what I usually use which is the mysql command line.
Login to mysql server using the following command prompt
$ mysqladmin -u root -p
In mysql prompt, select database mysql
mysql> use mysql;
Now update your root password by putting a new password in the NEWPASSWORD part
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD(”NEWPASSWORD”) where User=’root’;
Finally you’ve completed the step. Oh one more final step.
mysql> flush privileges;
Now try quit the mysql command line, and relogin again using the new password. Congrats, your root has a new password ![]()
