Switch Back To Old Version Of Facebook!

Life Rants, Tech

Hate the new Facebook interface? You are not alone.

A lot of Facebook users are not satisfied with the change. According to Techcrunch, 94% of the Facebook users are not happy with the home page revamp. Haven’t they ever heard of the saying “If it ain’t broken why fix it?“

There are people who don’t like the current view and tried to fix it by posting up tutorials on how to switch back to old version of Facebook, however just few hous later Facebook has fixed the problem to make sure everyone is getting to the current version.

So far there is currently no appropriate way to revert to the good old version. The other methods are complicated and rely on past Facebook data, which will all be removed very soon. It’s obvious that Facebook doesn’t like them and they will always be stopped. Don’t even bother to make any changes.

If you are frustrated just as any other FB users, join the Facebook group now & hope that one day Mark Zuckerberg will make any amend to the Facebook page.

Free Samples, Coupons, And More Freebies!

Interesting

Whether it’s baby diapers, hair shampoo, soap, foods, face cream, clothes or t-shirts, it’s all available for free on the internet if you know where to look. While there are many sites which claimed to send out freebies without any charges, they are normally scams that will grab your personal details & send you a ton of spams instead of free samples.

What you will get from List Free Samples are all legitimate free samples. No payment is needed, no credit card numbers, no cash. Just the address of where you would like the products samples to be send to.

Why is this website real? Sounds fishy to me…

Well, while it’d be nice to think that they’re just being kind, but the fact is that this is all about marketing. Most freebies are samples of products, given away in the hope that you might go and purchase the full-size version, or help them to tell your friends or relatives about this brand (Or what we known as word of mouth promotion). It doesn’t really cost much for the companies to send out free stuffs, since you will finish it soon & you will be tempted to buy a new one at any nearby store.

Sounds cool! Maybe I should ask for every sample?

It’s cool to have a bunch of free samples at your home, but if you are not going to use it why bother to ask so many of them? Otherwise it is a good option to leave it and let those who are really looking for the product & let them enjoy it. Remember, save our mother earth and don’t waste any natural resources

Internal Server Error 500 For WordPress Blog

Wordpress

wordpress

Few days ago I experienced minor problems when I installed the latest version of WordPress to one of my blogs. After everything has been uploaded to the server, I created a sample post & tried to view it as a single post. When I clicked on it I was redirected to Internal Server Error 500 page. Not problem to get to index.php but things started to go wrong when i entered single.php. Here’s the full error description :

500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Now some of you may have arrived at this page when you googled for solutions about this error. Basically errors occured because of the following reasons :

1. The file permissions for your WordPress files is incorrect
2. One of the rules in your WordPress .htaccess file. may be incorrect

If error occured because of the 1st reason, you should login to your web hosting account and look at the error log. There is a particular directory that is writeable by group. Change the permission to 755

If error occured because of the 2nd reason, copy this code to your .htaccess file :

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Hope this solves your problem

How To Do Print Screen In Mac OS X

Cute, Tips & Tricks

mac

If you have just started to use Mac OS X you may not be familiar with the commands as it is totally different from Windows PC. One of the button that is not available on Mac is the Print Screen button, which users can capture the whole screen with just a single click. So here’s how it’s done:

How To Do Print Screen In Mac OS X

1. To capture the entire desktop screen, press Command + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 3)

2. To copy the entire desktop screen, press Command + Control + Shift + 3 (Apple key ⌘ + Ctrl + Shift + 3). The entire screen shot will be sent to your clipboard.

3. To capture a portion of the desktop screen, press Command +Shift + 4 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4). A cross-hair cursor will appear and now you can click and drag to capture the selected area . Once you release the mouse button, the selected screen shot will be saved as a picture file on your desktop.

4. To capture a specific application window, press Command + Shift + 4 (Apple key ⌘ + Shift + 4), the mouse cursor will change to symbol + . Now press the Spacebar. The cursor will change to a camera, and you can move it around the screen. Move the cursor over the window where you want to capture, click the mouse button and the screen shot will be saved as a PNG file on your desktop.

It ain’t that hard to do print screen in Mac OS X , isn’t it?
