  • Windows 7 – if you cannot open Gadgets menu or some Gadgets are hidden

    There was a problem in my Windows 7 desktop a while ago. Supposed to be, there were two Gadgets in there, and I noticed the other is missing. I thought maybe I just accidentally removed it, so I decided to open the Gadgets menu to place it on my Windows 7 desktop again. BUT when I right click and select Gadgets, nothing happens. I tried choosing Gadgets again a few more times, but the Gadgets menu really would not show. I even tried going to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Desktop Gadgets, but still, nothing happened.

    I searched Google and found a forum with the solution. It was very simple, actually. (more…)

  • Plan to update old blog entries

    I’m planning to update my old blog entries… the important (useful) ones like CCNA and Turbo C download pages. This is an attempt to make this blog a better resource.

    Maybe in a few weeks when I’m no longer very busy at work.

    I also wish to make a major revamp of this blog – a fresh design, more organized categories, etc. But I don’t know when I could find time for that. Maybe on Christmas holidays? I hope so.

  • Inotia 3 – Cave of Trials and items (Guide / Walkthrough)

    Follow my blog with Bloglovin

    This is a guide on Inotia 3’s Cave of Trials and the items you can get from each cave.

    When you examine the Altar of Trials, it will say:

    I’m not letting you through unless you can pass my test.

    1. I’m pretty confident in my strength, so I’ll take the Strength Test!
    2. My sword is faster than the wind. I’ll take the Agility Test!
    3. I don’t support violence. I’d rather take the Wisdom Test.

    Choosing the Wisdom Test will also lead to “violence” though. lol.

    There are three caves – Crimson Cave of Trials (Strength), Green Cave of Trials (Agility), and Blue Cave of Trials (Wisdom). You can only take only one cave, so it is best to take the one that will give you the item you think will help you the most.

    Let me present a table of the caves for easier reading:

    Cave of Trials Type Opponent in Cave Opponent Class Item / Weapon
    Crimson Cave of Trials Strength Ogre Hero Brugal Barbarian Destroyer Hammer
    Green Cave of Trials Agility Shadow Pursuer Darcon Rogue Impassivity Blade
    Blue Cave of Trials Wisdom Chaos Mage Lachrielle Arch Mage Celestial Branch

    I chose the Wisdom Test so I could get Celestial Branch, since Lucio is an Arch Mage in my active game.

  • Inotia 3 Walkthrough / Game Guide

    This Inotia 3 walkthrough / linear game guide is a work in progress. The goal is to guide you through the game from beginning to end. I will be using an Arch Mage, so it’s perfect if you’re using the same class but still usable for those using a different class.

    Even if I’m going to try my best to avoid them, game spoilers may be found in this page.

    This is my second time playing Inotia 3 – Children of Carnia from the start, and this time my goal is to write a linear guide / walkthrough. I was a Rogue in my first Inotia 3 gameplay, and now I am choosing an Arch Mage because I want a golem, high damages and for damaging multiple characters.

    Part 1: Character Class and Build

    Following is the Arch Mage build that I want to achieve:
