Birth and Death is two side of a coin.
Denying death, it’s worser than the death it self.

If you ever come across those combination, you’ll know where this post will lead.

Whether we fire the dialog on the iframe element, the contained iframe in the dialog will adjusted it’s width to ’standard’ 150px regardless the dialog’ width and iframe’ width setting. To put it another way, you call dialog to show in 300px but the iframe contained only fill half of the dialog and leaving plain blank on the rest.

It’s been a pain to be in the situation but you really have to use those combination. I’ve been tinkering with it with no luck and luckily my hunch lead to the solution.

The key is to resize the iframe to fill the margin AFTER the dialog opened. Put it at the open event of the dialog.

$(“#theiframe”).dialog({
bgiframe: true,
modal: true,
width:600,
height:480,
close: function(event, ui) { $(this).dialog(‘destroy’) },
open: function (event,ui) {$(this).css(“width”,”100%”)}
});
}

That should do the trick!

I’ve been trying to install Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Designer/Admin using Wine in OS X 10.6.2 with no luck.

I installed wine-devel using macport and Porticus as it’s GUI. Pretty neat using these combination instead getting all dependencies manually without GUI.

First obstacle was I have to the setup screen stop at calculating diskspace usage. The work around is to call the .msi instead.

wine msiexec  /i Lotus\ Notes\ 8.5.1.msi

At the end of the installation, the setup will fire a service but alas it came with error message that it require to be run in folder with notes.ini file.

I had to force the installation and manually run notes.exe instead but, BAM!, flat at on the brick wall.

Guess stick with virtualization for now.

AFAIK, single session disk image in NRG format is a 600 bytes header and standard iso data after that. To remove the first 600 bytes, we can use dd utility from terminal.

The command format as follow,

dd if=source.nrg of=target.iso bs=512 skip=600

Replace source.nrg with your NRG file and target.iso with your desired target iso file name.

Good luck.

You got to watch this, slo-mo video of Japanese went berserk. Somewhat entertaining but at the same time enlightening

Recently I switch to Chrome at 4.0.221.8. In this build the flash is working fine, no more 100% cpu usage like the older build. No crash for this whole day browsing. Currently I’m using puk-puk theme. Looks great.

This build is quite stable and pretty usable for now. Let see in coming weeks then.

Expression, costume, dance and song, they are in perfect out of sync. Hey, look at the bright side, it’s a multimedia entertainment, MULTI-MEDIA. You can turn off the sound and you can have some wacky hippie-like indian dressed dance that could go along well with ambonese poco-poco. Or you can only hear the song, an instant hardcore death metal. And the best part is, when you watch and hear the song simultaneously, undoubtedly hilarious new breed of entertainment. Multi, right?

So, why wait? Enjoy!

I heard this on the radio talk show this morning, he said he was told by his friend too. The secret is… Hug. Yes, a hug. Hug is on top of the list. Woman need to be hug everyday. Could be true.

It’s said that this hug responsible for releasing oxytocin hormone that have beneficial effect such as bonding, increasing trust, reducing fear, affecting generosity.

While we waiting women to confirm this here, there is no harm to do it anyway, right?

Undoubtedly iPhone has opened new genre of mobile applications. Recently BottleCube Inc. released PUFF!、ぱふパフ！！, an upskirt “game” featuring gravure idols *A.K.A adult movie star*. You can blow or flick the screen to upskirt the girls in it.

They try to find another “unusual” way to pleasing desires. After bored with the regular way, they create the derivation one. For me it doesn’t make any sense why would anyone buy that app? Maybe japan has a lot of potential buyer perverts or maybe there are a lot of people like this kind of amusement out there indeed. Do you like this app? Check out the ad video, you might one of those perverts too.

A provoking design that will make you think *for a while* about energy consumption but no real life implementation value.

Blood Lamp
2009

What if power came at a cost to the individual?

The average American consumes 3383kwh of energy per year. That’s equivalent to leaving the light on in 4 rooms for a whole year. The simple flick of a switch allows us to power appliances and gadgets 24/7 without a thought to where it comes from and the cost to the environment.

For the lamp to work one breaks the top off, dissolves the tablet, and uses their own blood to power a simple light. By creating a lamp that can only be used once, the user must consider when light is needed the most, forcing them to rethink how wasteful they are with energy, and how precious it is.
