I always wanted to try the GrabTaxi app. Booking from them is expensive, but security is an important thing that they can give passengers so that’s okay. But my attempts have never been successful. I think it’s a combination of bad signalling from GrabTaxi and bad internet connection in my house.
Today my task at work is to install a WHMCS Theme from whmcsthemes.com. WHMCS Themes has this theme installation instruction video, but I find it a bit difficult to follow cos I have to pause from time to time. So I took down notes in Notepad. And in case there are people searching for these, here they are:

ShootMe is an Android app for taking screen caps on Android devices. It’s very popular, but has been removed by the developer from the Android Market for some reason.
IIRC, it’s said to take screencaps just by shaking your Android device.
Here’s a download link to a ShootMe.apk file. Let me know if it works or not, because I believe this Android app requires ROOT access, which I do not have. (more…)
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…)

After some Google search I read that this happens if your (more…)
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…)
For our school work, Microsoft Office is very much used. Students exchange MS Office files with one another for homework and projects. Based on my observation, each time a file in MS Office 2007 format (.docx, .pptx, or .xlsx) is sent to a student who uses MS Office 2003, that receiving student complains, and either makes the sender save it as a 2003 file and resend it, or sulk face in one corner of the room for not knowing how to open the 2007 file.
Let’s make a list here of few ways to open .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx files in a computer without Microsoft Office 2007. 🙂
