  • Google Analytics: How to exclude / block your own IP address from reports using a Filter

    This blog entry will let you know how to exclude or block your own IP address from traffic reports on your Google Analytics account.

    Blocking your own IP address from Google Analytics’ (or any statistics app) traffic report is useful if you wish to know the “real” amount of traffic your website(s) is/are having. The traffic report won’t be so helpful if 50% of the total page views are coming from you, would it?

  • How to transfer contacts from O2 Xda Atom Exec phone to Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-i5503

    I think this is my first ever blog entry about gadgets. lol. I’m not really into gadgets but I ran into a problem last night, so I thought I’d post the solution here.

    ’twas a troublesome night and morning for me. Since last night I was trying to export / copy all O2 Xda Atom Exec phone contacts into a SIM card. This old cellphone, O2 Xda Atom Exec, by default, can only “Save to SIM” contacts individually. There’s no multiple selection. What I wanted to do was export the O2 Atom contacts into a SIM card, and from the SIM card export to another phone – Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503… or is it GT-15503? 🙂

    I had so much trouble doing this last night, and I won’t elaborate that anymore. Here’s the hassle-free (or less hassle) way of moving your contacts from your O2 Xda Atom Exec phone into Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503. This might work too even if the other phone isn’t Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503.

    Please bear with me – always mentioning the full model names of the phones! lol.

  • Skype: How to minimize to system tray in Windows 7

    I’ve been using Skype to communicate with some colleagues and my boss, for my part time job as web developer & graphic designer.

    There’s one thing that often annoyed me, regarding the Skype window. When I am busy working and have a lot of windows open, and want to minimize Skype to the system tray, it won’t do what I want it to. When I click on the “Close” button of Skype it just minimizes to the task bar. What I want is for Skype to minimize into the system tray when I close its window even when I’m still signed in. Yahoo! Messenger does that for me.

    The solution for this is… (more…)

  • Free Graphics: Plain rectangular Add to Cart web buttons

    Here are free graphics for people to download. They are not so appealing, I know. I just thought I’d share them here in my blog.

    So, here you go, plain rectangular web buttons that say “Add to Cart” in caps. They come in different colors – royal blue, apple green, black, sky blue, gray, mint (blue green), brownish orange, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow/gold. My current theme is adding a gray border on the display below. The gray borders shouldn’t be there when you download them.

    Feel free to use them anywhere you like. Right click and save them. Clicking on them gives a strange display.

    Giving me the credit would be nice, but NOT required. 🙂 Just please do not direct link on my files. Thanks. lol.
