I just wanted to share with you a link that someone posted on Facebook, it has long list of Free Shows in various areas.

Firefox is my favorite browser, i use it a lot for searching using the address bar, i would just type what i am looking for and i would get the results using Google Search,

Firefox uses Google as the default search engine. But recently, this changed, instead of Google search, i get Bing, the new(just the name) search engine from Microsoft.

If you are in the same scenario as me, let me show you how to change or remove Bing as the default search engine in the address bar.

Here's how. I am using quotes just for highlighting.

Open Firefox, in the address bar, type "about:config", if it does not work, add a space(push the Space Bar) after config "about:config ", then hit enter.

Open Picasa, click on a picture, to select multiple pictures, hold down the CTR key and click on another picture, any picture for that matter.

Now at the top left corner of your program, click on "File", select "Export Picture to Folder", check the option "Add a watermark:", type your message in the box, the text you enter here will appear on your image(s).

That's it, make sure you remember where you are saving your photos. Go ahead, upload them in Facebook or Twitpic. You do not need special software to watermark your photos.

The Zen theme is indeed one of the best themes for customizing your Drupal, in my opinion. The theme has lots of information in the page.tpl.php file, the usage of each Drupal function and CSS is included in the page.tpl.php template.

One feature i really like is the ability to have a fixed width of a site, Zen Classic makes it easy, just by checking a button. If you are new to Drupal and cannot decide on a theme, go for the Zen theme and enable the sub-theme Zen classic.

Magento is an ecommerce platform, for selling goods and services online.

Before we start the installation, make sure you have php_mcrypt and php_curl enabled, we need these extensions working and also, ensure your database is already created, I named mine 'magento', of course.

Download the Full Magento Package here, extract it to your www folder.

In your browser address bar, type in '127.0.0.1', NOT 'localhost', otherwise, you will get some Cookie issues, which will not allow you to login to your Magento administration page after the installation.

The grand opening for the Canada Line was busy, lots of families, kids and tourists. It was expected, but I thought it would be much quiet late in the afternoon, not so.

I arrived at the Waterfront station at 5:15, I stood in line for about 25 minutes, I got on one of the trains at 5:30pm and 28 minutes later, I arrived at the YVR Station. Trasnlink advertises it as a 25 minutes ride, I would say it is accurate. At some stops, we stationed longer than normal.

The trains are roomy, lots of space to accommodate your belongings, if you are a traveller. Lots of bars to hold on, perhaps too many. The doors appear wider. The seats are comfortable, nice for napping or reading in the train.
