If you noticed some pages in howforge.com, they are containing

tag to show code in monotype format. The side-effect of this tag is that all contents inside pre tag will never be wrapped if lines too long like usual cases. In other words, your layout may be extended the width for so long. Fortunately, I found a solution for this problem and just fixed in howforge.com. You could see the result of the solution in previous post. To fix this problem, just modify your CSS as follow.

Squid is an open-source web proxy cache. It is widely used in enterprise network with high traffic through web service to reduce traffic load and sometimes to prevent access to prohibit web sites. Usually, you might use Squid as just a cache, there is no problem. Whenever you want to block access through outside via access control list in Squid, you have to verify what you have done. For example, you want to prevent end-users to download virus, worm, spyware, malware and other possible unwanted files. As a result, you add below ACL.

acl block-download urlpath_regex -i \.exe$ \.zip$ \.iso$ \.avi$ \.mpeg$ \.wma$ \.vbs$ \.com$ \.vbe$ \.sys$ \.diz$ \.pif$ \.bat$ \.scr$ \.cmd$ \.dat$;  

AJAX is a must to be existed in all web applications for today. I have just found a post at Slashdot about ajaxLaunch. They has just launched ajaxWrite which is the direct competitor of Microsoft Word on the web. Imagine that you might see MS Word through Firefox. Though, it seems they can’t handle too many connections right now. If you get timeout, keep trying.

Anyway, it is not fully ajaxified yet. Popups are still popups. It would be nice if it use the same technique of Google Page Creator.

My Gmail account has been enabled to sign in to  on last Friday. As I , Google Page Creator was offered to everyone from novice to expert to construct homepage easy than ever. After creating my first page at , I found something different from just other wysiwyg editors such as TinyMCE and FCKeditor.

Mac OS X is now available in Intel’s x86 processor so there might be lots of x86 fans interesting to give it a try. Everybody knows how it is beautiful. Anyway, there were not so many softwares and applications for end-users so many of them didn’t use Mac OS X in real life including me. Well, Intel Mac is going to change the world. More applications are going to release a new version for Intel Mac so users are going to increase dramatically.

So, everyone want to get a piece of cake in this new market share. Search engine is one of them for sure. Google has continuously released many small piece of gadget to run on Mac. The latest one is the new  which is able to run on both PowerPC and Intel. Mac already has most of desktop search functions in itself including sidebar architecture so Google seems to try not to push Google Desktop on Mac.

What is your favorite audio player? I don’t know all of them but it should be one of popular players such as windows media player, winamp, and jetaudio. I just want to introduce another one: foobar2000. Strange name? If you have music in your mind, you might want to listen to music all the time even working time. Music could help us to concentrate to the work. So, the audio player should not consume all memory and cpu. All popular players come with too many features that you may never use and don’t know their existence. foobar2000 is a small but powerful audito player for all of us. The secret behind its design is simplicity and extensibility. Its concept is very similar to Firefox. foobar2000 itself just provides minimal functions to play most popular audio format with very simple user interface. Everything is clean and clear. If you want more, install external components to extend the base functions. The foobar2000 has just released version 0.9. Give it a try.
