Force to show hidden files using regedit

2009-02-02T05:05:00.001-08:00

Why to do this?

Because I’ve experienced with the situation my computer cannot show the hidden files even I already enabled the option. When I tried to enable it using folder option it not happen but what happen is the option back to the original (not show hidden files). This is happened because my computer was affected by viruses that the antivirus cannot detect it (You know, antivirus nowadays!!). Did you experience kind of situation too?

So, how to force show hidden files using regedit?

As usual open regedit by go to start -> run -> type regedit-> and enter.
Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
After that you need to find and set Hidden and ShowSuperHidden to 0 (zero)
Close and restart the pc if needed!

If anyone found out this trick is not working, please don’t hesitate to tell me!

How to use Google’s command to search information in certain website

2009-01-28T05:30:00.000-08:00

Previously I shared about how to use Google’s command to view public webcam, using Google to search files by extension, using Google to answer everything even a blank question, and so on. Now on I want to share you how to use google’s command to search information in certain website.

Why to use this command?

If you using normal keyword in Google’s search engine it will crawl information on all website.

Not every website provides own search engine that use to search certain information on their website.
Even they provide search engine on their website, sometimes it not found what we need on their website.

OK now I understand. So what is the command and how it work?

Simple, only enter "site:www.websitename.com information you want here". Click below to see the example result:
site:4shared.com britney spears womanizer
site:rapidshare.com britney spears womanizer

Use this command with your own creativity. I just gave you the sample. So, what do you think about this command? Anything you want to share here?

Making money with your twitter

2009-01-19T06:15:00.000-08:00

Do you have a twitter? Register now because a lot of benefit you can get from it such as making money, making friend, and gain knowledge. But what I want to share with you today is how you can earn money with twitter by selling your twitter space to advertiser. Program called Twittad offer you to make money that way.

The more followers you have the more money you can earn by selling your space on twitter. At first I registered, I only have around 28 followers and my twitter worth $2.80 per month. You actually can set by yourself how much your twitter worth but more lower the price you give is more attractive to advertisers. You can calculate how much your twitter worth here.

But my personal opinion, placing ads on our twitter is not really work as placing ads on blog. It is because I myself rarely go to others twitter pages that I follow since their entire tweet already appear on my pages. I’m not sure how we can get profit from it since I just registered with twittad.

So, are you already giving it a try? So what do you think about this program?

My embarrassing moment at Microsoft Technet Summit

2009-01-16T02:48:00.000-08:00

This embarrassing moment is happened at Microsoft Technet Summit 2009. Actually I’ve a lot message to give within this post for all reader. I start my morning with sleepy face that time because I only slept for 1 hour that night, sacrificed my sleep’s time to research about affiliate. Without having a breakfast I was rushing to that event because it already too late and when I arrived it already started. The speaker already has a speech that time and my friend already have a sit, thanks to him because he reserved one sit for me.

The embarrassing story starts here. Because I’m so sleepy I can’t focus with speaker's speech with my stomach filled with air (because not breakfast) and I think I need a break. So I have my way to the toilet to toss away all the air in my stomach (hehe). Because so sleepy my view was so narrowed and when I enter to the toilet I saw people going to the left and right. I choose to go to the left side. Suddenly I rammed with someone and I said sorry but he not responded. When I looked to his face I saw his face look like me. Owh god that’s me and the thing I’d rammed before actually a mirror. Gosh! At that time, two person look at me with their face telling me that they want to say WTF, WTH, WTZ or something like that.

Moral of the story

It’s ok for you to have a lot of jobs but you need to remember that we all human and have a limit. We need to schedule our time properly. Yes I have my own schedule but I not really follow it. It’s my mistake. Also, it’s ok for you to blog but please take a little bit REST!

I don’t know if you really understand my stories because I’m not good on it and my English still sucks but hopefully you take notice on the moral of story. A lot of new thing I’ve learned at Microsoft Technet Summit 2009 and I’ll make a report of what have happened at that conference later. So do you have an embarrassing moment like I did? Need to share? Share it here now!

2009 Planning

2009-01-07T01:42:00.000-08:00

Everyone have wishing something to archive this year and they hope this year will be their successful year. To archive something, off course we need to make a proper planning. I also have my own plan this year but what I need to write now is only a plan for this blog. I think every bloggers also should have their own plan and have something to aim this year as pro blogger as John Chow and John Cow also have one.

Today is already 7th January 2009, but I hope it still not too late for me to make this plan. After bought my own domain 2nd January 2009 it will be my first step to succeed this year. It’s showed that how serious I’m to be a better blogger someday. 133tTech will be my own brand or product now and I really love this name because “133t” mean elite and “Tech” mean technology. Of course I’m not as elite as my blog’s name but this will be my future target and I hope I’ll be as elite as my blog’s name. As Donald Trump said: “Think big and Kick Ass”. It’s only the people who really think big and have a long vision can have a great success. Why you must be satisfied making $100 whereas you can make $1000? Why be satisfied making $1000 when you can make a million? And so on. Below is my list of planning for this year:

To Improve English and writing skills.

To improve my Information and Technology knowledge.

To gain more traffic to my blog (visitor)

www.mybloglog.com

www.blogcatalog.com

www.facebook.com

To have my own hosting

There will be a lot more what I need to doing this year but my entire plan above is what I’m thinking right now. Last but not least is, I need to change my attitude and push myself to give a lot of hour on work than sleep and I wish a very good luck to myself.

So what are you plans this year? If you have one please share it here.

Tumblr, another way to share thought

2009-01-06T10:11:00.000-08:00

Hurm, how i suppose to start this. Actually, today I'm registered with tumblr after i read a posting at Johncow blog. He gave a very nice tips about how to drive traffic to your blog without depend on Google's traffic and using tumblr is one of his tips.

If blog is like a journal then tumblr is like scrapbook that you can create a fast post to share your thought, images, and audio. Unlike Twitter, Tumblr is more robust because it offer sharing picture, videos, links, quotes, short snippets of text and others. It is so easy to setup and use. But what I hate is, when I found out that it spelled my Capital with wrong letter. It should be Kuala Lumpur not Kuala Lumpar (Hehe).

I just give it a try and why dont you also give it a try and my thumblr id is besballbat.tumblr.com.

I got my own domain name

2009-01-02T00:52:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I bought a new domain from my friend Mohd Fairuz only RM58 for 2 years. Proud to announce now my domain name is www.133ttech.com. I bought this because he said this is offer price. I just believed it in the name of friendship. It is great to have own domain name and I’m one step to become a real blogger. If you want to buy a domain name you can contact Mohd Fairuz.

Why I choose to have my own domain? I think it’s time for me to have my own brand by get out of blogspot.com. As John Chow(one of my favourite blogger) said “most don’t treat blogging seriously because of its low cost and if blogging cost for $100k++ to start, a lot more people will treat it seriously”. So if you want to take this seriously (not mean serious) and haven’t done so, it’s time for you to have one now. More older your domain, more better.
