			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since i got myself a Dreambox, i have been hunting for new channels available around the world. My only problem was to align the dish to the correct direction, since i do my alignment alone and the dish is on top of the house. Solution? My Nokia N900!<br />
<span id="more-603"></span><br />
This is a workaround for those who climb up their house to align the dish. Firstly i connected my Dreambox to my PC (via a TV Tuner), then on the same network i used VNC connection from my N900 to remotely connect to my PC. Then i carried my N900 to the roof and started to move the dish bit by bit until i got an signal of above 75% (Signal Lock) on my N900 screen. Once done, i tightened my dish and came down.</p>
<p><strong>Dreambox Satfinder Screen on my N900:</strong><br />
<center><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="281" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&#038;photo_secret=0207dcdffd&#038;photo_id=5271811531&#038;hd_default=false"></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></param><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&#038;photo_secret=0207dcdffd&#038;photo_id=5271811531&#038;hd_default=false" height="281" width="500"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>This is the best way i could find to align my dish without spending money on special tools for aligning or getting a motorized dish! N900 is the best tablet phone ever!<!--more--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Faced problem to display RSS Feed items in reverse order using the Simplepie script. The solution provided in the Simplepie documentation is disable the order of the item by date.<br />
<span id="more-517"></span><br />
Solution in the documentation requires us to use the following code along with your script.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">
$feed-&gt;enable_order_by_date(false);
</pre>
<p>This did not seem to work for me. So the only solution i had was to use the PHP reverse function instead. So to those who wish to display your Simplepie feed in reverse order, you may use the following code where needed.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;?php foreach (array_reverse($feed-&gt;get_items()) as $item): ?&gt;
</pre>
<p>Replace the code as needed and your feed should be in reversed order.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As i started testing and creating a script for my blog sidebar column, many asked me how i did it. Well basically it is a very simply PHP script which uses Simplepie engine to create a RSS feed based on keyword matching. Basically my current sidebar script will show an RSS feed of my tweets which contains the keyword <strong>#x3m</strong>.<br />
<span id="more-418"></span><br />
So in order for me to choose which tweets appear on my sidebar i simply add a channel keyword #x3m to my tweets and it will appear instantly on my sidebar. As we know Simplepie lets you recreate RSS feed out of any RSS feed with PHP coding mixed. So how to have this done? Here is the idea. Get your Twitter RSS ready, pass it into another RSS feed using Simplepie, but this time do a keyword matching using PHP to show only the tweets with the keyword and display it out.</p>
<p><strong>Example (Sample Simplepie Code):</strong></p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;?php if ($success): ?&gt;
&lt;? $itemlimit=0; ?&gt;
&lt;?php foreach($feed-&gt;get_items() as $item): ?&gt;
&lt;? if ($itemlimit==50) { break; } ?&gt;

&lt;?
//keyword to search in tweets
$keyword = &quot;*uniquekey&quot;;

//check if the keyword exist in the item_title
$item_title = $item-&gt;get_title();

if ( strpos($item_title, $keyword ) === false )
{
 $message = &quot;no matching found&quot;;
}
else {
 $message = &quot;you can create the RSS output here&quot;;
}
?&gt;

&lt;? $itemlimit++ ?&gt;
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
</pre>
<p>What this Simplepie code does is go through 50 of your Tweet posts and matches it with the given keyword (*uniquekey) and returns post only containing the keyword. I am sorry i could not post the entire script as the code is really messy and was only meant for usability purpose. If you need further help or assistance do get hold of me on twitter and direct message me @extremesh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many asked me about the option on my sidebar which shows my latest followers. Well to make things simple i have made a rough script for all to use. Basically i have used a twitter class and basic PHP function to get the job done.<br />
<span id="more-408"></span><br />
I am sure anyone with basic knowledge of PHP and also understanding would get this script running in no time. Adjustment can be done as needed. If you do need further assistance simply add me on twitter @extremesh and drop me a direct message. You can download the script <strong><a href="http://ramesh.2my.cc/bin/twitter_sidebar_script.rar">Here</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you own a Nokia 5800? Well it is a really cool touch phone by Nokia. I just cant stop loving it. One thing that simply irritates me is the virtual keyboard (keypad and buttons) which appears along with your Java application. You just cant seem to get a fullscreen Java app because of this! Well actually it is rather easy to disable the Virtual Keyboard on Java Apps.<br />
<span id="more-323"></span><br />
<strong>Instruction:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>
- Just say the Java application having the Virtual Keyboard is called App1<br />
- Goto Settings -> Application Mgr -> Installed Apps -> App1<br />
- Highlight App1, then choose Options -> Suite Settings -> On-screen Keyboard -> Off
</p></blockquote>
<p>Well that is about it, now the Virtual Keyboard is gone and you can enjoy the Java App in fullscreen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By default, Windows sets its Virtual Memory (Paging) on the same partition as the Windows installation. Many would have already known that Virtual Ram is paging file area which is used as a RAM (just that it is virtual), but what most wouldn&#8217;t have known is that Windows controlled application can perform better if the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory" target="_blank">Virtual Memory (RAM)</a> is set on a different partition other than the one Windows is currently installed.</p>
<p><b><font color="orange">Settings:</font></b><br />

<span id="more-145"></span></p>
<p>As you can see from the image above, Windows instillation is in C: drive while the Virtual Memory is set to use the space on F: drive for paging. This kind of settings gives better performance to application which uses high level of memory. </p>
<p><strong>To access Virtual Memory options in Windows:</strong><br />
Right Click My Computer -> Choose Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Performance -> Advance -> Virtual Memory</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As i was creating the new Theme for my blog, i ran into a problem which i always face while creating a form based script. Whenever i try to create a form based element, there will somehow be a space after the element which really spoils my theme. No matter what i do, the unwanted space is still there. Finally after a lot of researching and testing i found the solution which should work with both IE and Firefox.</p>
<p>Simply add the following style code to your Form Element directly or via CSS and it should remove the unwanted space.</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ; notranslate">style=&quot;margin-bottom:0; margin:0; padding:0;&quot;</pre>
<p><span id="more-290"></span><br />
This is how i used it in my search box on my current theme. This is to get a rough idea on how to put the style code.</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;form method=&quot;GET&quot; action=&quot;/index.php&quot;
style=&quot;margin-bottom:0; margin:0; padding:0;&quot;&gt;
</pre>
<p>Hope this saved everyone a lot of trouble. If you have further problem or clarification just post it as a comment here.</p>
