Technical Support: All about love

Customer Service Rep: Can you install LOVE?

Customer: I can do that. I’m not very technical, but I think I am ready to install now. What do I do first?

Customer Service Rep: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART ma’am?

Customer: Yes I have, but there are several programs running right now.Is it okay to install while they are running?

Customer Service Rep: What programs are running ma’am?

Customer: Let me see….I have PASTHURT.EXE, LOWESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT,COM running right now.

Customer Service Rep: No problem. LOVE will automatically erase PASTHURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOWESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGHESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT,COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma’am?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Customer Service Rep: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT,COM have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, I’m done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?

Customer Service Rep: Yes it is. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?

Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?

Customer Service Rep: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEARTS in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops…I have an error message already. What should I do?

Customer Service Rep: What does the message say?

Customer: It says “ERROR 412 – PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS”. What does that mean?

Customer Service Rep: Don’t worry ma’am, that’s a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to “LOVE” your own machine before It can “LOVE”others.

Customer: So what should I do?

Customer Service Rep: Can you find the directory called “SELF-ACCEPTANCE”?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

Customer Service Rep: Excellent, you are getting good at this.

Customer: Thank you.

Customer Service Rep: You’re welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the “MYHEART” directory: FORGIVESELF.DOC, SELFESTEEM.TXT, EALIZEWORTH.TXT, and GOODNESS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete SELFCRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with really neat files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that WARMTH,COM, PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT,COM are copying themselves all over my HEART!

Customer Service Rep: Then LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. One more thing before I go…

Customer: Yes?

Customer Service Rep: LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some really neat modules back to you.

Customer: I will. Thank you for your help.

Worry less on your problems

Less you worry about your problems, the easier they will be to solve.
Deep down, we all know that for every problem there is a solution. Many times, the solution is obvious to a dispassionate observer, which is the primary reason corporations as well as entrepreneurs hire outside consultants.
Often, the reason we cannot see these obvious solutions is that we are trapped in our emotional reactions and habitual ways of seeing life.
The alternative to dealing head on with problems is to clear your mind instead of filling it with painful, confusing details. Quiet down, reflect, and listen.
Allow your wisdom, that softer part of your thinking, to surface. More often than not, seemingly out of nowhere (actually from Supersoul – the Lord in the heart), you will have an insight, an answer to your problem.
The less you worry about your problems, the easier they will be to solve! ^_^

When a programmer writes a love letter

Ever thought what would happen if a programmer is in love? Do you have an idea how he’s able to write a love letter?  Find the letter below usefull!
Baby, I’ve seen you yesterday while surfing on local train platform and realized that you are the only site I was browsing for. For long time, I have been lonely, trying to find a bug in my life and you can be a real debugger for me now.
My life is just an uncompiled program without you, which never produces an executable code and hence is useless. You are not only beautiful by face but all your ActiveX controls are attractive as well. Your smile is so delightful, which encourages me and gives power to me equal to thousands of mainframes processing power.

How to Embed Youtube videos on a secure SSL Page

Embedding Youtube video on a page is simple and had always been easy with the aide of Youtube’s embed code. However, embedding it inside a secure page doesn’t work well. It’s trouble and is a lot more painful in IE.

Inline with that, I’m going to discuss a cool work-around and it indeed worked for me on my recently completed project.
For most browsers, except IE, changing HTTP://youtube.com/ to HTTPS://youtube.com/ should work just fine.
This solution will work if your server is using Apache and has Mod_Rewrite enabled (most Linux web hosting companies do) and of course, you’re running on PHP. The steps below should work:
1. Add this to your .htaccess:
# Embed youtube securely on IE
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^youtube/(.*)$ http://www.youtube.com/$1 [L]
2. Add this function somewhere on your PHP file before your embed code:
<?php
function youtube($URL) {
$youtube_code = $URL; // youtube source;
$u_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];  // Find what browser
$domain = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]; // Get domain name
if(preg_match('/MSIE/i',$u_agent) && !preg_match('/Opera/i',$u_agent))  { // Check if it's IE
$youtube_code = str_replace('youtube.com',$domain.'/youtube',$youtube_code);
}
$youtube_code = str_replace('http://','https://',$youtube_code); // replace HTTP with HTTPS
$youtube_code = str_replace('www.www','www',$youtube_code); // fix for the www.www BUG
return $youtube_code;
}
?>
3. Go ahead and embed your youtube VIDEO
<object width="390" height="297">
<param name="movie" value="<?=youtube('http://www.youtube.com/v/Xn_ERdqBIIw?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&autoplay=1');?>"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="<?=youtube('http://www.youtube.com/v/Xn_ERdqBIIw?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&autoplay=1');?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="390" height="297"></embed></object>
Notice that you’ll just surround the youtube video source with youtube() function.

The script does the job for you on ensuring it would work on ALL BROWSERS. You should no longer receive security warnings and youtube should play without any problems.
Hope that helps!

When they first started, the online schools were largely regarded as a novelty, something amusing but not long lasting or permanent and certainly nothing to get very excited about. Then, people started graduating from very good schools without ever walking into an actual building or classroom and the laughing and the scoffing stopped. Suddenly, the whole concept of online school was more accepted, more highly regarded and most of all, more widely researched as a viable solution for the time constraint so many people are under. Can you earn a college degree from home? The answer is a loud, resounding yes!

Researching the Online Degree Programs

There is no limit to what you can accomplish once you set your mind to it. There is no limit to the type of degree you can receive from home either, especially if you know what you want to do, what level you will be striving for and, of course, the time frame in which you want to finish.  You can actually earn any level of degree with the online degree programs, including Bachelors, Masters and even Doctorate level programs in a number of different disciplines.

Figure out what it is that you want to do and what it would take to do it, and then find the right program.
