During my university days, I learned C/C++, C#, Java, and Assembly language. During my Industrial Attachment I involved a lot with Java projects. On my final year I also using Java. But on my first job I did VB.NET. I also had been involved in a project using Coldfusion for quite sometime. Personally I prefer to use C# to solve my daily computing problem. But when you need to dig the windows deeper, you need to use the native C++ to do that.

On other platform I have been meddling with Linux, having fun with Bash scripts, playing around with Perl. But unfortunately I did not even use TCL/TK at all.

When I was wowed by Rails, there’s a small part of me that wants to learn Ruby. So I googled around, lo and behold … I found the Best Guidebook In The World.

 . 

Quick … run ….

 . 

hey wait … you have not tell us how to learn a new programming language ….!!!

oh right .. well basically to start you need to find something similar to the Best Guidebook In The World, download the necessary tookit, practice everyday, create something useful for yourself and the community, and keep believing that you read this posting because of your destiny =).

Oh man … I regret above paragraph, I mean … unrelated Title and Content should classify as a Prank right?

To celebrate April’s Fools Day, I decided to create yet another Quote of the Day :-). The additional feature is a link to the Wikipedia article of the person quoted will be included. You also make it reload different quote every specified time. And it no longer forces you to link back to my Website. But I will be really grateful if you could link back to my blog 🙂

Features

Link to biography/article of the author at Wikipedia.

Auto refresh. You can change how many minutes passed before the quotes is repaced with a new one.

Do you have feature-request?

Known Bugs

The CSS is broken when displayed on IE. has something to do with the DOM.

Have you found another bug?

I was lurking on Slashdot reading article about software bug that became a feature. Someone mentioned a bug in the Firefox’s bookmarking name. Then another person suggested a Firefox Extension to make your bookmark Toolbar looks Cool.

OK, so here are the steps:

1. Download this Firefox Extension HERE
2. Blank out the name of your bookmarks in the Bookmark Toolbar
3. If the websites in your toolbar doesn’t have icon, visit that particular website, get its logo URL, and then visit this PAGE to convert the logo into icon.

As a teaser, here is how my Bookmark Toolbar looks like:
