[Jun 30th, 12:31] is Ways to Die

Nothing much. Just something to think about.

There’s plenty of ways to die. But you have to figure out a way to live.

It’s a line from The Brave One movie. So, what? What’s with that? I don’t know. Just that it moved me. It moved me so much, that I decided to pause the movie and get it posted here.

For what? On what? Once again, I don’t know. Maybe, I feel it’s in synchronicity with what or how I’m living my life right now. To walk on your path, to keep on living, no matter what. To push forward, to go with the flowing experiences of life. To reach my destination, the unity with the vast ocean of a happy loving life, unity with God. Ah, words. Just, don’t know. Help me here. What does that line tell you?

[Jun 27th, 19:19] is Cross Browser Design, If You Care

Good summary for cross browser design.

Just read the complete article of How to get Cross Browser Compatibility Every Time.

Here is the summary:

• Always use strict doctype and standards-compliant HTML/CSS
• Always use a reset at the start of your css
• Use -moz-opacity:0.99 on text elements to clean up rendering in Firefox, and text-shadow: #000 0 0 0 in Safari
• Never resize images in the CSS or HTML
• Check font rendering in every browser. Don’t use Lucida
• Size text as a % in the body, and as em’s throughout
• All layout divs that are floated should include display:inline and overflow:hidden
• Containers should have overflow:auto and trigger hasLayout via a width or height
• Don’t use any fancy CSS3 selectors

• Don’t use transparent PNG’s unless you have loaded the alpha

I must admit, I haven’t even consider some of the points. Oh, hell, I haven’t even set the ordered list for this blog properly.

Update
Just fix a few things with this blog’s css as suggested by the points above. Especially the ones for the floating divs and container. I used to use a special empty div as a “spacer” to clear the floating divs :D. Still, can’t do much to make this theme liquid for IE. No max-width :(.

[Jun 25th, 06:26] is Firefox 3 Annoying Problem

Still love Firefox 3 though.

Don’t know how and what I did, but all of a sudden there’s a cursor annoyingly appeared every time I click anywhere on any web page. More to it, the page up/ page down is giving me a real annoying problem since it won’t work in a good manner as it used to be.

So I googled around, and found this God sent solution.

Well, such a small option somewhere with such a great effect (for me!). Now, everything is a OK again. Still loving Firefox (and Opera, sometime Safari – and you simply can’t help it with IE, it’s a must) :D.

[Jun 23rd, 13:57] is To Repeat The Wheel?

A question of efficiency.

Here’s the problem. I got to build some simple e-learning system. With quite a handful of free e-learning system out there, should I build from scratch or just pick one of the ready-to-use solution and customize it as needed?

I don’t know if it’s my ego or me being plain lazy, but I don’t like the prospect of reading all the complex codes and data structure of the already complex app if I could just build a simple clean prototype and start developing it from there.

A dilemma?

[Jun 21st, 05:39] is My First Real Trade

To deal with the evil inside!

Finally, after quite a long time paper trading, I made my first real trade in FX market. It’s a really-really small trade with a really-really-REALLY small account. The result is a 110 pips profit AND 22 pips loss.

Well, paper trading is something. I’m grateful that I did that before doing any real trade. But even with that kind of preps, the emotion of having real profits never failed to try to tempt you. My loss is the proof of my greed. I got big headed with the profit and decided without enough preparation to open another trade to gain more profit. I fell in love with that position, though after looking the chart I fully realize it’s not gonna work and I should’ve exit while it’s a breakeven. But, nooo! I WANT profit! And I got myself a lesson worth 22 pips over my inital profit. Thank god I still have my system watching my back!

That’s that. Looking forward for a new week for a new trade. And hopefully my ISP be kind enough to fix my internet connection, as of now, it’s one big s**t waste of time just to have this entry posted!
