Hi everyone, Happy New Year. Year 2010 is here, what are you going to do in 2010 to make a world difference through all issues in 2009 that were left behind (economic, global warming?) I’m quite sure you can develop applications to change the world.
Alright. Today’s technology blog post would be Twitter Application Development.
Recently, I’m quite vexed while searching for an appropriate and trusted mobile Twitter application for my Samsung Omnia which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. And I gave up after searching one list since I do not know if the source is reliable and stable to support my mobile phone.
I myself, love to tweet a lot since I’ve linked my Facebook status to Twitter. So whatever I tweet on my Twitter account, my Facebook status get updated from Twitter. I like Twitter because of its micro-blogging and its lightweight since I can browse it online using the mobile Twitter web version. But I simply dislike browsing Twitter through a web browser because I’m lazy to launch the browser. Well, perhaps I have a business look-alike mind. So yea, launch applications.
Recently I decided to find Twitter API to develop a mobile Twitter application. Guess what, I found this http://c-programming.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_use_c_for_twittering for C# programming.
Simply, you can download the framework here, http://code.google.com/p/twitterizer/. Extract the contents in the folder and place the files into a folder, perhaps in your Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (if you are using 2008, 2005 – Microsoft Visual Studio 2005) folder, browse to your project location and place the contents in there.
In your IDE (Integrated Development Environment), simply follow the screenshot below:
Voila, you can browse the framework in the solution explorer for the methods that you can use in the framework such as user login authentication.
Hope this helps. 
Alright, recently, Google released a new application that was developed by Google, “Google Waves“.
What is Google Waves?
Basically, Google Waves provides a platform for members in a group to share group projects, share photos, create meeting notes, brainstorm ideas and post it up, and moreover with interactive games shared within a group in Google Waves. It provides an alternative for developers or any projects to be shared in a more interactive way. I have been using Google applications for quite a while now and I’m total big fan of Google because of their great technologies despite there are Yahoo widgets and developments which are available to use.
I, myself, as a student would like to try this application too.
Any Restrictions?
Oh yes, you have. Apparently, Google Waves is not available to everyone, so you gotta sign up in this link, https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/
Apparently, I’m still waiting for Google to accept my request.
More information about Google Waves can be found here.
Recently, I have discovered a new alternative to surf Facebook beside using the web browser.
Fishbowl provides a great solution to browse Facebook right from your desktop. Yes, you heard me right! It is a client program to surf Facebook right from your desktop. Installation of the program takes about a minute or so.
Basically, the program uses Silverlight, a Microsoft SDK for Facebook to develop the program.

I realised my Realtek audio program was deleted after I formatted my notebook from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Even though, Windows 7 would actually be clever enough to install my audio drivers, but however, I was pretty sad that my Realtek audio program was gone just like that. Why was I even sad? The reason is simple, I rely a lot on the equaliser with my speaker to give it a bass boost.
Actually, after I formatted my notebook to Windows 7, I actually installed a Windows 7 audio codec which was wrong to install. But of course the end result was, my audio driver could not even startup and it even screwed up my Windows 7 themes and the theme is just purely on Windows Classic. Several services could not even startup especially my LAN.
Any Realtek audio users there? Simply just get Vista, Windows7 Driver (32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file). Here is the download link although, you gotta agree to the agreement: http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
Have you ever dealing with div just to centralise the div on your user interface?
Fret not, I have just dealt with it when trying to design a website.
Basically, you will type such css codes to align your div to center.
margin: auto;
padding: auto;
But however, it works on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Internet Explorer on the other hand, mess the alignment and it will actually align to the left. So how do I align the div to the center.
Simple, remove any headers to your html files or php files and replaced it with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd”>
Viola!
I know this post comes a bit later though, but I would like to share everyone on Windows Live Mail application which was developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows Live Messenger and those packages.
Recently, I reformated my notebook from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional. Yea, I know everything wipes out except for some of my old documents. And I realised, hey, my Windows Mail (another alternative for Microsoft Outlook) was deleted. Okay, I could not find any application which I can use it to check my company emails since I have to use my company email account to access those important emails from clients. Guess what, and I went to google and I search on Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Windows 7 Operating System. There seems to be no hope though I tried one solution which was to use the Windows Mail files and folders in the Windows Vista and copied over to the Windows 7 C Drive. The end result was failed! I was quite worried about this since I could not even copy those emails to my personal email account such as Gmail. So I continued to search, and I saw Windows Live Mail application which can be used as another alternative. But of cause since I was busy with work, so I did not bother to try it until today. My notebook is installed with Windows Live Messenger and not Windows Live Mail because I dislike unwanted applications to be installed onto my notebook. It took me 5 minutes to install the application. And I have managed to link it up to my Gmail and my company email. I was happy that my Gmail setup takes less than 20 seconds since the application was clever enough to identify it as a Gmail account through the Gmail account domain name. But of cause for those specified ones like company emails, the settings have to be configured correctly.
If you do not have Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook applications in your computer to setup your company emails, then why not install Windows Live Mail application and simply configure your company email account settings given by your system administrator or network administrator?
Today, as I was having a module called Web Database Development module (WDD in short) in school, one of my best friends encountered a problem in login on to the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008 as her computer (Windows Vista in 64 bit) does not allowed her to install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (ended up in an error code). So I helped her to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008. The installation went fine except that I could not login to the Studio Express 2008 with such login credential as Windows Authentication as follows: localhost\SQLEXPRESS. It prompted an error on the network instance. To my surprise, there was no SQL Server Surface Area Configuration in Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The problem was about the TCP/IP named pipes. So I decided to install Microsft SQL Server 2005 for her as well since Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration. I myself, am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 installed on my laptop.
After installation, went to the Start Menu and go to All Programs, and look for a folder called Microsoft SQL Server 2005, expand the folder, and you will see SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration. Upon clicking the Surface Area Configuration component, a Window pops up, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections under Configure Surface Area for localhost.
Select Local and remote connections, Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Click Ok, and restart the services, and you are done with the configuration.

What am I busy with? Sounds like Facebook status right?
Alright I shall stop my crap though.
Lately, trying to finish up my pile of web development works from project showcasing for company to recently started to continue with the EnviroJournal web application revamp using CodeIgniter PHP Framework. Well, I could not agree more on such framework because it totally suits my needs. You are able to code in the framework more faster than the original PHP. But of cause why do you have to reinvent the world, so just use the framework will do when speed and time are the issues.
Now that school is going to reopen this Monday, well, I should continue with web developments even though my final semester is here. This is how I enjoyed doing when it is my interest and passion. Now that I sounds like a geek.
I was reading on Technology segment in online ChannelNewsAsia and it came to my surprise on an online article about Mystery Google. Oh well, perhaps the word “Google” attracted me though.
As I read the article, and I realised how the word, “Mystery” is all about.
Basically, it was a release before the Halloween. Well, actually, I have tried “Mystery Google”. I have actually googled for “Facebook”. It came to my surprise, after I clicked the search button, it redirected me to Facebook website. On the other hand, I googled for other things, it randomized the search for me.
What a good prank on this though. And I wonders, how google randomize such search results?
