How to notice police station using ATM number?

January 27, 2010 By: admin Category: Idea Box, Security

What happen if you were forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine?

atm_robbery

You can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 8233 then you would put in 3328. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately* dispatched to help you. This security guide was broadcasted on TV as well even though it is seldom used because people don’t know it exists.

*Depends on country/ area/ responsibility of policeman as well

How to prevent mosquitoes from breeding?

January 14, 2010 By: admin Category: Idea Box

How to prevent mosquitoes from breeding/ lay eggs? Here’s the cheapest way of preventing survival of mosquitoes.

We cannot stop mosquitoes from laying eggs at any stagnant water in drains/ponds or water collected in waste pails, tanks, tins, used tyres etc. etc. However, if you have fish inside the tanks/containers then there should be no problem. What about other than tanks such as drains?
drain-water
A simple and very economical way to destroy the mosquitoes’ eggs and not let them hatch into larvae is to put in few 1 cent copper coins into the tanks/containers and it will solve this problem.
1cent
According to Japanese Research Scientists, they found the mosquitoes eggs will be destroyed by a kind of mineral discharge from the copper.

So try it by yourself and even the small snails also will not visit the containers (with copper coins) collected with stagnant water. You will observe the water collected in the containers will be very clean and clear.

Why not RVSite Builder?

December 18, 2009 By: admin Category: Business Talk, Idea Box

While most of you who own a website understand about the RVSite Builder system, here we will share with you why not to choose RVSite Builder compare to e-Paper (EP, as what we shared last few posts ago).

Let’s see some of the significant different on how e-Paper (EP) works better than RVSite Builder (RV).

1) Installation
RV: Bulk Installation – installed in server only once and everybody sharing the same application files.
EP: Individual Installation – installed on individual domain (more privacy and security)

2) Map
RV: No map allowed
EP: Powered with Google Map

3) Advance Scripting
RV: Support direct Javascript and PHP – assume most users are expert
EP: Support indirect Javascript – assume most users are non-expert

4) Favicon
RV: Indirect, only expert can change in htaccess
EP: Easy to upload and change

5) Template
RV: Pre-set on server and often updated. User has no control to modify or create their own template
EP: Each template are individual files that can be created and downloaded by users themselves

6) Photo Gallery
RV: You have to create your own page and upload your pictures
EP: Photo gallery is module by itself which will automatically scale your photos and organized in Albums

There are many more differences to be compared but we just highlight some important ones ;>   Let’s check out more about e-Paper.

How to change blogspot to your own domain?

November 28, 2009 By: admin Category: Idea Box

There are many readers asked this question since last few months ago, and now let’s review how to change blogspot (eg. http://yeepi.blogspot.com) to your own domain (eg. www.yeepi.com). What you need is ‘DNS control‘.

dnsdiagram

In DNS Control, point the root domain of his.com to google server (ghs.google.com) by CNAME (aka ALIAS). There’s no need of any hosting company. But take note that most of the hosting companies (such as NetKL) do not give free DNS. So, you are required buy a new domain and point it to any free DNS and then set the DNS to point the domain to google server.

Next, in the blogspot setting, you will need to mention your domain name as the domain URL and it will work fine.

As generous reminder, there’s no need to buy any hosting, just domain name and free DNS.
