Free 8D/7N Holiday - Purchase a LCD Monitor
Written by techieDan on November 5, 2008 – 8:17 amThere will be 200 over destinations across 30 countries to choose from with this package. Aha…. but then the one thing that is hard though, this only applies to people from Malaysia or those staying in Malaysia.
Yes, though all one need is to purchase either a MBF XD 42″ Full HD LCD TV at RM3,599 or a Samsung 40″ Full HD LCD TV at RM4,599 and this is all just it takes to get yourself for a 8D/7N stay of a fantastic holiday getaway.
Though this deal only valid from October 31 2008 till February 28 2009. Here’s a review of the Samsung LCD TV. With a resolution of 1920 x 1080p and the p refers to progressive scanning, a method for transmitting moving images where all the lines of each frame are drawn in sequence. Smoother, more detailed images can be produced with less flicker.
For more info you may brwose thru http://www.mbfcards.com and here are the specifications of the 40″ Samsung Full HD LCD TV.

Wordpress 2.7 Beta Edition
Written by techieDan on November 2, 2008 – 12:35 amIt was expected at TechieDan that Wordpress 2.7 would at least appear on the month of November and so it did. Luckily for TechieDan, most of the time he uses Firefox for his wordpress testing and why is it still beta? it’s for the fix for both IE and Opera browser users to hold before they can get the final release of the Wordpress 2.7 final version.
Seemingly, time for me to get my hands on the Wordpress 2.7 and test it out on the localhost. So you’ve got to hand it over to the guys at Wordpress.org who decided to come out with this beta version before the proper release of the Wordpress 2.7 on November 10.
Don’t believe it’s coming out by that time, Wordpress 2.7 Beta Edition is stated right at the post here, so expect more test and tweaks as the guys/girls there serve to make Wordpress users satisfied. If you’re just contented with trying out the beta version without reading the rest of it, I’ve included the link to the download file.
All you need is just to CLICK HERE!!!
Happy Wordpressing!

Setting up your JDK JAVA_HOME
Written by techieDan on October 30, 2008 – 8:20 am![]()
Setting up your Java environment to work on is as easy as how it seems to be. With Sun now offering executable JDK program, nothing much needs to be done.
As of date, current JDK is the JDK 6.0 kit which was said to be powerful that the previous versions beforehand. Download and then install and voila, you’re good to run. All you need is to go into the bin folder of the JDK and run the javac and the java commands. This time I won’t be using an IDE though to explain t
he procedure.
If you wanna set up your environment variables on Windows, here’s how you do it on Windows XP.
Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
Under User Variable for Users > New. Type the following.
Variable Name : JAVA_HOME
Variable Value : [Location of JDK folder] ex: D:\JDK6.0
After this you may now freely use your JDK to compile and run your code anywhere on the PC environment. I will touch on the compilation part using pure JDK later instead of an IDE in the coming parts.

Custom Fields in WordPress
Written by techieDan on October 28, 2008 – 11:05 pmIf you’re a wordpress user, you would have seen some wordpress have this function to include a thumbnail image and maybe sometimes include your Mood level.
Based on a blog at AbsoluteSpook.com, one can add in their thumbnail to the blog entry. Well, by default an automatic graphic is displayed instead. By instruction on the theme, all one need is to modify the custom fields in Wordpress! Now the problem is how can one do that?
A simple explanation is go to your blog post that you wanted to modify or add the custom fields and select Custom Fields Below.
Choose a Key and the value.
Key - Name
Value - Daniel
Then add this
<?php the_meta(); ?>
Here’s how one can display too.
<ul class='post-meta'> <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Curently Reading: </span> Calvin and Hobbes</li> <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Today's Mood:</span> Jolly and Happy</li> </ul>
There are actually many more ways to use the custom field in wordpress. If you really need to know, you can refer to the Wordpress help guide for more extreme use of the Custom Field.
