Programmer vs Designer
Living as a programmer can be a nightmare for me when I’m in a rush to deadline and I got crappy HTML file with so many useless code such as tons of
tags that he (designer) use to “draw” the layout. And such designer I call them stupid designers!
Programmers living inside the code, so please give me neat and clean code so I can finish my job a lot faster. And you, as you have decided to live as a web designer, LEARN how to “draw” proper HTML!! Get inside the code, NOT only in WYSIWYG mode!!
Thanks God it not happen in my office where I work. The designer’s jobs are neat and clean. I like it.. I like it..
If you’re having the same problem, let’s spread the chain and say NO to supid designers!
Opera Mini – Online Version
I was looking for a good WAP browser that can really act as a mobile browser. I looked at Nokia’s homepage and found a giant size program, and it’s not a choice. So I went to my favorite browser’s homepage to see if there’s any downloadable version of Opera Mini™.
Not so lucky but I found an online version of Opera Mini™!!
It act as if it’s installed on mobile handheld. And it fit my need! Yeah, everyone should give it a try. Well, FYI, I don’t have mobile phone with Java so I can’t install this on mine. The only choice is to use online version of Opera Mini™.
Er.. you need JRE installed on your PC to use online version of Opera Mini™.

Using Safari Browser to Preview Your Web Design
Say you have optimized your web for any browsers on earth, but you are not so lucky to buy a Mac and use its browser, Safari. There is some option you can do: Buy a Mac to get Safari, or borrow a Mac from a friend. And what will you do if you don’t have any friend having Mac?
You can try to view your web design using Safari with the help of Browser Camp, an online tool to emulate the look of your page using Safari browser and save its screenshot.
Another use is to save a shot of your design for your portfolios ^_*
Shorten Code for Inserting Random Invisible Character
This post is related correction to my previous one, inserting invisible random character inbetween words to avoid copy-paste doer.
I wrote a function to insert invisible random character inbetween words, and it used looped str_replace() to seek for the whitespaces. And I realize it’s not good for a very long texts, because the process will slowed down. So here is a new function with call back method, hopefully it will be faster and cooler ^_*
// main function, will call the replacews() function
function ghostText($data){
return preg_replace_callback('{((\s)+?)}i', "replacews", $data);
}
function replacews($xxx){
$c = chr(mt_rand(62,155));
return "$c";
}
?>
And the usage is still quite simple:
$data = "Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog!";
echo ghostText($data);
?>
Many thanks to Aryo for simplifying the function ^_*

Many of us are knowing Friendster as a large friend-seeker website with many users. And many of us know that there are many sweet girl’s profiles over there. And it’s a good luck when we see her email address on her profile. But what if not?
In this article, I will show you how to add the girl into your friend list without her email address. Well, it still need her permission to aprove your request, but at least we can give it a try ^_*
- First, we need to open her profile:
Look at yellow circle above (I’ve changed her original nickname into cute girl). Mostly you’ll see a phrase (two words). Remember this phrase, or write it down somewhere, or copy this. Click Add as Friend button/link.
- Then, you’ll see this familiar
phenomenonpage:
Just split the name into two, first as first name and second one as last name. Just hit Continue button to continue.
- Yeah, almost done. Just click this lovely button:
- Last step, praise to Lord that she will approve your request to add her in your Friendster’s friend list ^_*
That’s all folks. After you read this and want to practice, I warn you that all risk are yours. I’m not responsible for any damage, nose bleeding nor any bad things that might happen to you after you tried this tutorial. Have phun V^_^
Invisible text using PHP
This time, let’s try to insert single character with same color as the background inbetween words. This method will avoid visitor to copy paste text from your homepage because they will get a buch of un-understood words.
This is cool (in my own opinion), I insert/replace any white space with single character, and set the color property of ghost class into the same color as the background.
So, visitor will not see the invisible text (yeah, it’s invisible). But when they try to block the text and do a copy-paste operation, all text will be all within.
First, set ghost class color in your css file or simply put inside STYLE tag as follow:
And here’s the function:
function ghostText($txt){
// set the ASCII characters from 65-122
$ascii_min = 65;
$ascii_max = 122;
// let's do the job!
$txts = explode(" ",$txt);
foreach($txts as $teks){
$hasil .= $teks."".chr(mt_rand($ascii_min,$ascii_max))."";
}
return ($hasil);
}
?>
You can see the sample here: Sample invisible text using PHP.
It only avoid copy paste. By grabbing the HTML and using strip_tags() function, your text will be easily stolen.
Update #1
I got some complains saying that this function is out of web standard and not good for people with disability and use screen reader. And I said yes, this function is not suit on web standard. This only for normal users and to avoid your text being copy-paste’ed by lamers.
So if you’re concern on web standard, please do not use this script/function.
Update #2
I’ve changed the code so it will be faster than this one. Please read faster inserting random invisible character inbetween words. ^_*
