Very strange night - very frighten night

On the mid night of July 31 2009, i was sleeping very well after my calling.

At about 2:30AM at night i heard a sound from outside of knocking my rent house's door by unidentified person. They were very quiet they said nothing they did only knocking and kicking very strong to my door for 20 minutes long till my door a little bit broke, that time i was very and very frighten while i was sleeping lonely in the room and i thought they were a thief.

Meanwhile i had called and woke rent house owner come to my house. But when she came then those unidentified person had run away.

Actually they were confusing the house they assumed that my house was his wife's house.
They knocked and kick very strong to the door because he was angry with his wife, his wife said.

Finally they drove the car back again they did not say "sorry" to me at all, dog shit!!!!, they just were walking straight to his wife's room and used the violence to his wife and say loudly at night during people were on the bed very well.

Now i have to repair my door again :(.

Web fonts for open source, a view from Cambodia

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has released new version of report about CSS3 show how the font resource load dynamically, that can help user agents to read all contents on WebPages without installing font on their computers.


For English, French, Chinese and many other languages have large speakers; they can recognize the benefit from this method that can keep original layout of contents for user agent to read the webpage. But for the language of small group, there are not in operating system of computer, this report is quite meaningful, an example, for Khmer language in Cambodia.

Embedded OpenType, don’t need to install fonts

Many years ago, webmasters in Cambodia were familiar with the term of “TrueDoc” from Bitstream and Embedded OpenType (EOT) from Microsoft, which can help the user agents, read text on website via loading font from server, without font installation in computer, but it doesn’t work with prominent open source web browser as Mozilla Firefox. Especially, EOT fonts work with Microsoft Internet Explorer only.

Now there is a lot of big website in Khmer language from Cambodia and abroad use EOT font, such as http://www.rfa.org/khmer of Radio Free Asia, http://khmer.radioaustralia.net.au/ of ABC Radio Australia, http://www.rfi.fr/ of Radio French International, http://khmer.ka-set.info/ of Ka-set newspaper, etc…

Also a well-known and old website http://www.everyday.com.kh/ which is interested in teenagers in Cambodia, has also provide Khmer email, use EOT based on legacy font which was created in 1990s. It is favorable for user agents who have MS Internet Explorer, but it still creates difficulties for Firefox web browser’s readers.

Web fonts for Firefox and Safari

According to W3C’s recent report post on their website in June 18, 2009, new term was used and described similar to TrueDoc and Embedded OpenType before, is Web fonts and the way to make them load dynamically from server to user agent’s computer, just upload the font server and add CSS code to webpage. Compare to Embedded OpenType from Microsoft, it is easier, because we don’t need any special tool to convert the font for server.
The fonts for upload to server still keep the original extension, example font.ttf, font.oft or font.svg, etc…

To use a downloadable font call Khmer OS:

@font-face {
font-family: “Khmer OS”;
src: url(http://domainname/font/KhmerOS.ttf);
}
p {font-family: Khmer OS;}

The user agent will download Khmer OS and use it when rendering text within paragraph elements.
p {font-family: Khmer OS, Time New Roman;}

If for some reason the site serving the font is unavailable, the default Time New Roman will be used.
Right now, above CSS works with Firefox and Safari only. We also can add more CSS for Internet Explorer in the same time, after create EOT font by using WEFT of Microsoft.

@font-face {
font-family: “Khmer OS”;
src: url(http://domainname/font/KhmerOS.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: “Khmer OS”;
src: url(KhmerOS.eot);
}
p {font-family: Khmer OS, Time New Roman;}

Three Dimensions of High Performance

To be truly effective you need ability and passion. Some people use the formula:

Performance = Ability * Passion

However, you also need time to dedicate to the work at hand; and so Availability factors in also.
In the volunteer world we often say we are looking for 3 key attributes:

• Talent (Ability in some useful skill)
• Passion (motivation to do it)
• Availability (time to commit to it)

In other words you need to have skills, enthusiasm, and time to dedicate to something in order to be effective. (This also applies to paid work too, but because we get paid for things it is easy to mix-up motivation with payment and forget about considering if we are passionate/motivated about the work.)

Login doesn't "stick" after upgrade to PHP 5.2+

This is a specific problem that affects older versions of Drupal on a server running PHP 5.2 or later. Often it arises when PHP is upgraded (sometimes without your knowing!).

Symptom: You can appear to log in OK, but on the very next page view the system seems to forget that you have just logged in and you revert to being an "anonymous" user.

If you are running Drupal 5.x or later then this specific problem won't affect you, so if you still have trouble staying logged in then check here.

This problem occurs due to the way PHP 5.2+ handles objects in session handlers. It affects all Drupal versions up to Drupal 4.6.10, Drupal 4.7.4 and Drupal 5-beta 1 inclusive.

The best method of fixing this is to upgrade to the latest official release of a supported version of Drupal. Currently (Dec 2008) this means the latest release of either the 5.x or the 6.x series.

For those wishing not to do a full upgrade yet but who need an "instant fix", you can add the following line at the bottom of your settings.php file:

// Temporary fix to login/sessions problem.
// Remove this line when upgrading to 4.6.11, 4.7.11 or 5.x or later.
register_shutdown_function('session_write_close');

You should regard this as a temporary fix only. If you subsequently upgrade your site to a newer version of Drupal you should remove this line from settings.php to prevent potential incompatibility with future versions of Drupal.

The problem is fixed in the 4.6.11 and 4.7.5 releases of Drupal. So another option for 4.6.x and 4.7.x users is to upgrade to the final release of the 4.6.x/4.7.x series - 4.6.11 or 4.7.11, which are available here.

Note that while Drupal 5.0 doesn't exhibit this particular problem with PHP 5.2 it is still not fully compatible with this version of PHP; Drupal 5.1 is fully compatible (but of course doesn't contain the security fixes in the latest 5.x release).

Here is the original issue in which this problem was identifed and fixed.

And here is the rest of it.

Upgrading Drupal 4.6.x directly to Drupal 6.12

I have upgraded KhmerOS website, using drupal 4.6.x, directly to the latest version Drupal 6.12 successfully.

But the problem is Khmer Unicode is still not displaying yet. I am getting stuck with Khmer Unicode characters , unknown characters like "សូម​ស្វាគមន៍​មក​កានáŸ" :(.

Why could i become a Web Master till today???

I am a student, would like to research on technologies related-domain since i was in Year I at BBU of Cambodia. I am a student, would like considering about how to create a website, how to allow the people see my articles, all these pushed me to ask somebody who have a lot of experience with the website especial my lecturers at school but they seems to me that they didn't tell me clearly about it at all :(. Even though i cannot get a good solution from the others i still have a will to find out those by myself untill i can post one page on Geocitities of Yahoo and 123ASP.com, they are free space for hosting, while i was very happy i tried to create a lot of page with HTML code and design banner with Photoshop it looked great but it was still not professional webpages because it displayed well only opened with IE6 :(. Though i can host my webpages with those free hosting i still didn't understand about what is the Web server, Web Hosting and Domain definition at all. I want to have my own web server and my own domain i didn't know what should i do??? :(

In 2004 i had passed as a Web Master to work with Micro Domain Company, it is working on Articles to earn money by Google Adsense, founder is Mr. Robert Wolfson. Thanks to Mr. Robert that he was always gave a lot of good idea relate with his experiences to me, i like coding and learning new technologies from him. What i got from him is "How to make money on the internet". I just heard and read this article it made me very interested in doing more websites to earn money.

Thanks for reading, wait for next bio
