Firefox bugged with caption tag

2008-09-04T22:55:00.006-04:00

I discovered this bug after install Google Chrome Beta 2. The label <caption> in Firefox is placed outside of Table, but <caption> is a subelement of <table>.

How I discovered this bug?

If I set a margin-top and margin-bottom for a <table> with <caption>, among them there will be a space, which is the margin of the table. This problem will not be introduced in other browsers such as Internet Explorer 7, Opera and Google Chrome Beta 2.

img.onload Error with Internet Explorer

2008-07-11T23:20:00.006-04:00

The following javascript codes doesn't work in IE when loading a second time:

var i = new Image();
i.src = "image address";
i.onload = function() {
  /* function */
}

Solved by Codetrinis:

This problem is because the second time that loads the image is read from the cache, therefore is loaded complete before reaching img.onload. The solution is as follows:

var i = new Image();
i.onload = function() {
  /* function */
}
i.src = "image address"

How to make Gmail open the mailto link in Firefox

2008-05-31T14:07:00.010-04:00

Firefox 3 have a very useful feature, which allows users to decide how to handle certain protocol, for example, we can specify use Gmail to open the mailto link. But the options in Firefox only Yahoo! Mail can be elected, how can do it?

First, in the address bar type "about:config", and then in the top of the "filters" enter "gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost".

Then in the screen should only see one information, double click under it and let it become a value from the false to true.

If you use the Gmail, please copy under the code to address bar and press "Enter" key.

javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail");

If you use the Google Apps (such as CGT World mail), please copy under the code to address bar and press "Enter" key. We should remember replace the "example.com" with your mailbox domain name (CGT World mail as an example, is replaced cgtworld.com).

javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/a/example.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail")

Press the "Enter" key will be to see Firefox after asking if you set to handle mailto Links Gmail applications, we certainly have to press the "New application" button.

Problem with Router

2008-02-24T16:15:00.002-03:00

Today I repared 2 problems on the Internet connection.

First, the problem was, when I shared the internet connection type PPPoE by a router, could only access some Web sites, such as Google, but can not be accessed elsewhere. This problem was resolved by the end modifying the value MTU of the router to 1480 (default 1498).

Then came another problem, some computers have speed of 2.4 mbps that is normal, and others are accessed by only 1.2 mbps, half of the connection. This problem was resolved modifying the value of the TTL, 64 to 128.

Install PHP 5 and MySQL 5 in Windows XP

2007-02-28T18:43:00.003-03:00

I have Windows XP SP2 and installed IIS, one day I need make a website with PHP and MySQL, so I'm installed PHP 5.2.1 for Win32 and MySQL 5.0.27 for Win32. But I got a problem: the website PHP can't make connection with MySQL.

When PHP 5+, MySQL is no longer enabled by default, so the php_mysql.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems path.

So, I opened php.ini in my PHP directory, used Cltr+F to find the keyword "php_mysql.dll" and I got this result:

;extension=php_mysql.dll

I was removed the ";":

extension=php_mysql.dll

Later, I was found "mysql.default_port" and modified his valor to my port(default: 3306), and I was found "mysql.default_host" and modified to "localhost":


; Default port number for mysql_connect().  If unset, mysql_connect() will use
; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the
; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order).  Win32 will only look
; at MYSQL_PORT.
mysql.default_port = 3306


; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
mysql.default_host = localhost

Bill Gates' 11 Rules

2007-02-05T10:32:00.000-03:00

In Bill Gates' Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school, which include:

Life is not fair, get used to it.
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your won room.
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Television is Not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and to jobs.
Be nice to herds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

The Programmer's Bill of Rights

2007-01-31T15:00:00.000-03:00

1. Every programmer shall have two monitors

With the crashing prices of LCDs and the ubiquity of dual-output video cards, you'd be crazy to limit your developers to a single screen. The productivity benefits of doubling your desktop are well documented by now. If you want to maximize developer productivity, make sure each developer has two monitors.

2. Every programmer shall have a fast PC

Developers are required to run a lot of software to get their jobs done: development environments, database engines, web servers, virtual machines, and so forth. Running all this software requires a fast PC with lots of memory. The faster a developer's PC is, the faster they can cycle through debug and compile cycles. You'd be foolish to pay the extortionist prices for the extreme top of the current performance heap-- but always make sure you're buying near the top end. Outfit your developers with fast PCs that have lots of memory. Time spent staring at a progress bar is wasted time.

3. Every programmer shall have their choice of mouse and keyboard

In college, I ran a painting business. Every painter I hired had to buy their own brushes. This was one of the first things I learned. Throwing a standard brush at new painters didn't work. The "company" brushes were quickly neglected and degenerated into a state of disrepair. But painters who bought their own brushes took care of them. Painters who bought their own brushes learned to appreciate the difference between the professional $20 brush they owned and cheap disposable dollar store brushes. Having their own brush engendered a sense of enduring responsibility and craftsmanship. Programmers should have the same relationship with their mouse and keyboard-- they are the essential, workaday tools we use to practice our craft and should be treated as such.

4. Every programmer shall have a comfortable chair

Let's face it. We make our livings largely by sitting on our butts for 8 hours a day. Why not spend that 8 hours in a comfortable, well-designed chair? Give developers chairs that make sitting for 8 hours not just tolerable, but enjoyable. Sure, you hire developers primarily for their giant brains, but don't forget your developers' other assets.

5. Every programmer shall have a fast internet connection

Good programmers never write what they can steal. And the internet is the best conduit for stolen material ever invented. I'm all for books, but it's hard to imagine getting any work done without fast, responsive internet searches at my fingertips.

6. Every programmer shall have quiet working conditions

Programming requires focused mental concentration. Programmers cannot work effectively in an interrupt-driven environment. Make sure your working environment protects your programmers' flow state, otherwise they'll waste most of their time bouncing back and forth between distractions.

The few basic rights we're asking for are easy. They aren't extravagant demands. They're fundamental to the quality of work life for a software developer. If the company you work for isn't getting it right, making it right is neither expensive nor difficult. Demand your rights as a programmer! And remember: you can either change your company, or you can change your company.

Gloomy Sunday

2007-01-30T09:02:00.000-03:00

"Gloomy Sunday" (from Hungarian "Szomorú Vasárnap", IPA: ['sɒmɒɾuː 'vɐʃaɾnɐp]) is a song written by the Hungarian self-taught pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933. According to urban legend, it inspired hundreds of suicides. When the song was first marketed in America, it became known as the "Hungarian suicide song". There is no sytematic substantiation for such claims, as it is not documented where any such allegations appear in press coverage or other publications of the time.

Numerous versions of the song have been recorded and released. Phil Elwood, writing in JazzWest.com, cites the following words of Michael Brooks, taken from Brooks' program notes accompanying the 10-CD set, "Lady Day" - the Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, 1933-1944:
"Gloomy Sunday reached America in 1936 and, thanks to a brilliant publicity campaign, became known as The Hungarian Suicide Song. Supposedly after hearing it, distraught lovers were hypnotized into heading straight out of the nearest open window, in much the same fashion as investors after October, 1929; both stories are largely urban myths."

Urban legends

There have been several urban legends regarding the song over the years, mostly involving it being allegedly connected with various numbers of suicides, and radio networks reacting by purportedly banning the song. Sources propagating the legend fail to provide substantiation for claims of suicides or radio bans. The legend may have inspired Spider Robinson's short story "The Law of Conservation of Pain", part of the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series.

In 1968, Seress jumped to his death from his apartment. The New York Times Archive holds the obituary of Rezső Seress, where he is credited with causing suicides. The article reads:
"Budapest, January 13. Rezsoe Seres, whose dirge-like song hit, 'Gloomy Sunday' was blamed for touching off a wave of suicides during the nineteen-thirties, has ended his own life as a suicide it was learned today.
Authorities disclosed today that Mr. Seres jumped from a window of his small apartment here last Sunday, shortly after his 69th birthday. The decade of the nineteen-thirties was marked by severe economic depression and the political upheaval that was to lead to World War II. The melancholy song written by Mr. Seres, with words by his friend, Ladislas Javor, a poet, declares at its climax, 'My heart and I have decided to end it all.' It was blamed for a sharp increase in suicides, and Hungarian officials finally prohibited it. In America, where Paul Robeson introduced an English version, some radio stations and nightclubs forbade its performance. Mr. Seres complained that the success of 'Gloomy Sunday' actually increased his unhappiness, because he knew he would never be able to write a second hit.
- New York Times, 1968"

According to QI, the BBC banned the playing of Gloomy Sunday up till 2002.

In 1997 Billy Mackenzie, vocalist with Scottish band The Associates (who recorded a cover of Holiday's version in 1982), committed suicide near his father's home in Dundee.

The codifying of the urban legend appears in an article attributed to "D.P. MacDonald" and titled "Overture to Death", the text of which has been reproduced and disseminated countless times online. According to the website of Phespirit the article was originally published by the 'Justin and Angi' site to augment their now defunct "Gloomy Sunday Radio Show". Their introduction to the article reads:
"This message was forwarded to us by a visitor to our web site. There is some good historical information on the song intermixed with some information of more dubious repute. The accounts begin to take on the feel of a satiric e-mail chain letter after a while, but then, sometimes truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The story does read a little bit like the script of a segment from Strange Universe! So take this with a grain of salt ..... The text was [supposedly] quoted from the Cincinatti (sic) Journal of Ceremonial Magick, vol I, no I, printed in 1976."

The Steam client has just been updated

2007-01-08T23:00:00.000-03:00

Contrast of memory used and style:

Old Steam

New Steam

Today is January 8th 2007, the Steam client has just been updated with a few new features. They are:

Guest Passes

Guest Passes allow owners of certain Steam games (purchased either via Steam or at retail) to let their friends play games for free, for a limited time trial. The first game to take advantage of this new feature will be Day of Defeat: Source. Beginning the week of January 8th, owners of DoD:S will each receive a guest pass to give to a friend. So if you own Day of Defeat: Source, watch your games list for your guest pass to appear, and then send it to a friend.

Background client updates

Since the Steam client was first released, it has always kept itself up to date -- but now it'll do so without making you wait during startup. Instead, it will acquire new updates in the background and then (once they're downloaded) ask if you'd like to restart & apply them. Steam will also let you know what's new whenever a new update is ready to apply.

Games list Favorites

Steam's catalog of games has grown quite a bit over the past year or so. If you're like most Steam users, the list of games you own has grown pretty long. Time to organize! Soon you'll be able to try out the new Favorites feature in the My Games tab of Steam. Once you've selected a game as a Favorite, it's available for quick access at the top of your list. If you wish, you can also collapse the Installed and Uninstalled sections, leaving only your Favorites in view.

New look

Steam's getting a new coat of paint. We've stripped away all the non-essentials and created a new streamlined appearance, and it'll be available in five different colors: Default, Ice, Sand, Obsidian, and Grey.

HLTV Known Bugs & Issues

2007-01-01T07:14:00.000-03:00

Demo voice playback is choppy, can I fix this?

Certainly! This is a well known bug that is very easy to fix. It is just another three step process.

Start a “New Game” on the map of your choice.
in console, type and submit “sv_voicecodec voicespeex” then “sv_voicequality 5” without the quotations.
Lastly, repeat the play/viewdemo process and voices should now be fixed!

Useful fact: The same process can be used to fix live HLTV voices (if applicable).

Models do not appear in demo

Many people use a command known as “cl_minmodels 1”. What this does, is limit one player model per team (Counter-Terrorist or Terrorist). By having this command active, and watching a demo, you are unable to see many different player models. To fix this, simply do the following:

Open up the console (~) either before or during demo playback.
Type “cl_minmodels 0”, submit and enter. Your problem is now fixed!

Demo appears to be sluggish or laggy

Upon initially loading a demo, one may experience weird or slow performance. While there is no official reason known for this, one can assume it is due in part to all the demo resources being processed for the first time and at once. To solve this problem simply let the demo run and it will correct itself. Remember, with viewdemo you can always rewind to see what you may have missed.

My old demos will not play

This is not a bug, but rather a compatibility issue. Over the years Counter-Strike has received many changes to it's code and supporting engine. As a result, older demos may not be fully compatible with the latest version of CS. This is not a quick fix, and the only known way to view such demo would involve possessing an older copy of CS on your computer and placing the demo appropriately. With that said, it is not a very practical solution. Unfortunately many will be out of luck here.

I cannot hear my own voice upon demo playback

Another simple fix. If you want to record your own in-game voice in your demos you need to turn on a certain command; voice_loopback. Voice_loopback does just what it says, it loops back your voice for you to hear and your demo to record.

Open console before recording.
Type and submit "voice_loopback 1"
Record your demo!

I can't see the scoreboard

In order to see the scoreboard in a demo, you must have entered a game of CS at least once prior to the demo viewing session. That is to say, when you start up CS you must either create or join a game at least once before attempting to view a demo. This is because many files needed to properly view demos will stay in the cache until they are needed, and for some reason demos don't ask for these files. Simply start a game at least once, and then your demo will become viewable.

I cannot use spaces in my demo

A common issue, easily fixed. Usually when recording a demo you can type "record mydemo", however, when you want to use spaces you must put the demo name in quotations.

Example:

record "my demo" - Right
record my demo - Wrong

Kill locked process

2006-12-31T21:34:00.000-03:00

If you found some suspicious process in the Process List and with Task Manager can not kill, what can you do?

1. Using "taskkill" command for Windows XP

First, you have to know what is the process name that you are going to kill it.

Operation: Click "Start" -> "Ejecute", type "taskkill /im NAME" (The NAME is the process name).

2. Using built-in tools for Windows 2000 or Windows XP

From Windows 2000, Windows system built-in a debugging tool: Ntsd. The Ntsd can kill most of process because the process will exit together with the tool, so if you use the command line Ntsd out a process and then quit the Ntsd can kill the process.

Operation: Click "Start" -> "Ejecute", type "ntsd -c q -p PID" (The PID you can find in the Task Manager).

3. The use of specialized software to kill the process

Task Manager can not kill the process, you can use specialized software to kill. Have a lot of specialized software can kill the process, for sample: "Kill Process", "IceSword".

[CODE]Rabbits and Chickens

2006-12-30T09:11:00.003-03:00

It is a code of a program and is using for calculate an exercise that had in the test of mathematical Olympic championship, completed in July 12, 2005.

The question is:

Rabbits and chickens are in cage, counting from above there are 35 heads, counting from below there are 94 feet. How many chickens and how many rabbits are in the cage?

The C++ code:

/* r_and_c.c */
#include <CONIO.H>
#include <STDIO.H>
int main(void)
{
 int Head, Feet;
 printf("Please input total feets:");scanf("%d", &Feet);
 printf("Please input total heads:");scanf("%d", &Head);
 clrscr();
 if(Head > (Feet / 2)) printf("Feets don't enough.");
 else if(Feet > (Head * 4)) printf("Feets have much.");
 else{
  int Temp;
  Temp = (Feet / 2) - Head;
  printf("Rabbit have %d\n", Temp);
  printf("Chicken have %d\n", Head - Temp);
 }
 getch();
 return(0);
}

HLTV Error

2006-12-25T14:19:00.000-03:00

WARNING! System::RunFrame: system time difference <= 0.

Solved by Codetrinis:

This problem may be related to some processor AMD. You can install the "AMD Dual-Core Optimizer" to solve the problem.

The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

Graphics Error in Counter-Strike Source

Answered by Jacob Koeck (EVGA Customer Service):

This problem may be related to a power issue, and you will want to check the voltages in your bios setup. You can usually get into your bios setup by tapping F1, F2, or Del upon boot. There should be a hardware monitor under a power section somewhere or a PC Health status section that will list the voltage readings. You will want to make sure that the 12v rail is not dropping below 11.80v. This would indicate that the machine is becoming underpowered and is most likely the source of the problem.

New blog established

4 poems

2006-11-01T19:53:00.000-03:00

I was wrote 4 poem in the morning. I found that I was a good poet.

1. Dearest Heart

The world is complicit.
The world is hard
I'm living with loving.
But I will remain deeply in my heart.

I'm waiting for her love.
I will make the treasure.
We will do a longer exist.
But we are late to retrace our steps.

The water has long gone under the bridge.
So here let me come close to you.
I have no desire to see you anymore.
I will forget forever all about you.

I can't hold back anymore this burning feeling.
This is the moment to bid you my last farewell.
You know that the world is complicit.
Bye forever.

2. Holiday

Holiday is the true day.
We're living in the city.
We're walking in the road.
We're running in the street.

Holiday is the fun day.
We're funning in the city.
We're going to sing.
We're going to dance.

Holiday is the game day.
We're playing in the city.
We will lose the cash.
We will show we style.

Holiday is the lucky day.
We're agree have this day.
That we can fun.
That we can game.

3. My live

The street is good and clean.
My live is full happiness.
But when you're being in my live.
My live is change.

The air is best and clear.
I'm living with love for you.
But when you're being love by other.
My world is change.

The sky is black and dark.
My heart was break and lost.
I lost my own. I lost my style.
I lost my heart for your cause.

The world will be blue and clean.
I will live with trust and hope.
I will forget you forever.
I will returns in my live.

4. Rainbow

Someone see the rainbow way is high.
There's my bridge that I want be with you.
We're standing there to see the sky.
And we will hear the song of wind.

Somebody see the rainbow skies are blue.
That is your dreams that really do come true.
The dreams of you're going to kiss me.
And I will kiss you with my love.

Someday you will wish upon a star
And wake up the clouds are far behind you.
You're sitting here to wish your star.
And I will sit with you wait you wish the star.

Somewhere the bluebirds fly over the rainbow.
Birds fly over the rainbow but why can't I?
If the little bluebirds fly can happy.
Birds fly beyond the rainbow but why can't I?

I hurt my leg on Saturday

2006-10-30T17:34:00.000-03:00

Saturday, I hurt my legs when I riding a bicycle on the way towards to home of my friend. This photograph was taken on Sunday, then I have good legs a lot. :)

For the "Counter-Strike"

2006-10-29T21:01:00.000-03:00

Today, I re-configured my computer so that I can better play the "Counter-Strike".

I inserted my mouse in the USB port, because USB port provide 125Hz, and PS/2 port only 40Hz(Windows9X) or 60Hz(WindowsNT).
I used cracked file "usbport.sys" to replace a system file. The cracked file can up the USB rate above 125Hz, my USB rate is 500Hz now.
I adjusted the desktop resolution and games resolution to 640*480.
I changed the clicking sensitivity for the mouse on the Regedit, the clicking sensitivity for the mouse is 1 now.
I reduced the sensitivity of the mouse on Windows, I chose the sensitivity " 3".
But in the "Counter-Strike" need higher mouse sensitivity, because in which the mouse moving very slowly. I adjusted the mouse sensitivity to "9" in the "Counter-Strike".

Now, I try to play the "Counter-Strike", I feel terrific, I can killed more player! You want to try to change your computer?

[CODE]Encrytion

2006-10-29T20:31:00.005-03:00

This is my other project, completed in June 5, 2006. This is a program for encrypted information.

The C++ code:

/* codified.c */
#include <CONIO.H>
#include <STDIO.H>
#include <STRING.H>
void coding(char string[])
{
 int key = 1;
 int Len = strlen(string);
 for(int I = 0;I <= Len-1; I++)
 {
  if(string[I] != ' ') string[I] += key;
  else string[I] = '8';
  key++;
  if(key > 3) key = 1;
 }
 int Div = Len / 2;
 if(Div <= 0) Div = 1;
 int N;
 for(int M = 0;M < Div;M++)
 {
  N = 0;
  while(M+N < Len)
  {
   printf("%c", string[M+N]);
   N += Div;
  }
  putchar(' ');
 }
 putchar('\b');
}
int main(void) {
 char *Text;
 int I = 0;
 clrscr();
 printf("Text:");
 while((Text[I] = getchar()) != '\n')
 {
  I++;
 }
 Text[strlen(Text) - 1] = '\0';
 printf("Code:");coding(Text);
 getch();
 return(0);
}

[CODE]Login

2006-10-29T19:51:00.002-03:00

This is a DOS login program, a password can show star, not just a hidden input.

The C++ code:

/* login.c */
#include <CONIO.H>
#include <PROCESS.H>
#include <STDIO.H>
#include <STDLIB.H>
#include <STRING.H>

int main(void)
{
 char valUser[10] = ""; /*Set All='\0'*/
 char valPass[10] = ""; /*Set All='\0'*/
 clrscr(); /*Clear Screen*/
 printf("Username:");
 scanf("%10s",valUser); /*Input Username*/
 printf("Password:");
 for(int I = 0;(valPass[I] = getch()) != '\r' && I < 8;++I)
 {
  putchar('*');
 } /*Input Password*/
 valPass[strlen(valPass) - 1] = '\0'; /*Set '\r'='\0' */
 putchar('\n'); /*New Line*/
 if((strcmp(valUser,"Admin") == 0) && (strcmp(valPass,"C0DE") == 0))
 {
  printf("Login!");
 }
 else
 {
  printf("Login failed.");
 } /*If Username is Admin And Password is C0DE Then Login.*/
 getch();
 return(0);
}

Schoolmates are angry!

2006-10-10T20:50:00.000-04:00

I had a test of geometry in the morning, but I prohibits anybody copied to me in the test, because the teacher was watching over me. Now, a lot of schoolmates are angry with me. :(

[CODE]Self-replication

2006-09-09T22:25:00.001-04:00

This is the second project, completed on December 10, 2005. This is a sample program of self-replication, it can self-replication to C:\Test.exe.

The C++ code:

/* cpself.c */
#include <STDIO.H>
#include <CONIO.H>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 clrscr();
 if(argc != 0)
 {
  FILE *in,*out;
  in=fopen(argv[0],"rb");
  if((out = fopen("C:\\TEST.EXE","wb")) == NULL) return(1);
  while(!feof(in))
  {
   fputc(fgetc(in),out);
  }
  fclose(in);
  fclose(out);
 }
 return(0);
}

[CODE]Varidator of the RUT

2006-09-09T19:34:00.002-04:00

This is my first project, was completed in September 28, 2005. This is a code, used to verification of the RUT(chile identity card numbers).

The JavaScript code:

/* checkrut.js */
function CheckRUT(RUT) {
 var Temp1 = '';
 var Sign = " .-";
 var Numbers = "1234567890kK";
 for(var I = 0;I <= (RUT.length-1);I++) {
  if (Sign.indexOf(RUT.charAt(I).toLowerCase()) == -1) Temp1 += RUT.charAt(I).toLowerCase();
 }
 if (Temp1.length < 8) return "litter";
 for(var I = 0;I < Temp1.length;I++) {
  if (Numbers.indexOf(Temp1.charAt(I).toLowerCase()) == -1) return false;
 }
 var StartNum = 2;
 var Temp2 = 0;
 for(var I = (Temp1.length - 2);I >= 0;I--) {
  Temp2 += (Temp1.charAt(I).toLowerCase() * StartNum);
  if (StartNum == 7) StartNum = 2;
  else StartNum++;
 }
 var Temp3 = (Temp2 % 11);
 var Temp4 = '';
 if (Temp3 == 1) Temp4 = "k";
 else if (Temp3 == 0) Temp4 = "0";
 else Temp4 = (11 - Temp3);
 if (Temp4 != Temp1.charAt(Temp1.length - 1).toLowerCase()) return "nothing";
 else return true;
}

Welcome

Hello friends, this is my new blog, I am sure it would be an interesting blog. I saw here in my "PC Magazine - Chile (September, 2006)". I chose to build my blog here because I want to publish my life and some projects. I updated the blog might have been very slow, because I don't have a Internet access. I need to update my blog to a cyberbar but I don't have time and money. T.T

Ok, let's we fun in my blog!
