Recently I lost when I was unable to delete some post from my timeline and then I found that our activity log on our timeline serves many purposes.

You can use it to quickly hide old statuses you have made in the past, or delete them, you can also use it to Unhide statuses that you had previously hidden.
In addition, it shows you comments that you have made on other peoples’ stories/statuses/pictures and will allow you to delete those too, all in one convenient place.

To get there, go to your Timeline, and click on Activity Log.

That will open the activity log, and then you can scroll down to where that story is (or use the date links at the bottom) to find the post/story you want to hide or unhide. Look at the icons in the far right to see which ones are hidden and which ones are visible.

You can then click on the little circle/crossed out circle to select if you want it hidden or not.

If you “Feature” a story, it will take the full width of your timeline, so as to draw attention to that item. Think of it like “this one is important”.

In order to access your mailbox you will need 4 things:

• An active internet connection
• The address of your pop mail server (e.g. mail.domain.ext)
• Your username (e.g. UserName/Email Address normally)
• Your password (e.g. Password)

The first thing to do is to open a connection from your computer to your mail server.

telnet mail.domain.ext 110

You should receive a reply like:

Trying ???.???.???.???...
Connected to mail.domain.ext.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK ready

Then log in:

USER userName

This should give you:

+OK Password required for userName.

Now give your password:

PASS passW0rd

Should yeild:

+OK userName has ? visible messages (? hidden) in ????? octets.

To see a list of your emails awaiting collection use the

LIST

command, this will also show you the id number of your messages (e.g. 1 or 2 etc.)
To view the contents of an email type

RETR

+ the id number of the message (e.g

RETR 1

).
To delete a message use

DELE

+ the id number of the message (e.g

DELE 1

).
To leave your mailbox and close the connection use

QUIT

Recently (June 6, 2012) Adobe introduced its new Flash player version 11.3 which supports protected mode for advance protection and allow flash plugin to run outside browser process and create separate sand-boxed version of flash plugin with low integrity process that will surely increase protection from bugs/flaws in Flash players discovered in the recent past. But now Flash plugin is directly accessing Internet instead of asking its parent process, like in the past, Firefox/IE or other browsers were responsible for communicating with the internet, but this new upgraded version of plugin needs direct internet communication (which is bad in my opinion, as now we needs to track its outgoing/incoming connection separately, no matter it is running with low/little access of system resources) Read the rest of this entry

Firefox 13 released and a bit earlier then expected, Firefox 13 is an important release with a handful of much-needed features that are long overdue.

First of all, Firefox 13 debuts “New Tab” Page — a grid of your favorite and most-visited websites. If you’ve used Opera, Chrome, or indeed Internet Explorer, you will feel right at home with the Firefox 13 New Tab Page.

Second new addition is new “Home Page”

And third major change in Firefox 13, is SPDY — Google’s faster, newer, optimized version of HTTP; the contemporary/competitor of Microsoft’s HTTP S&M– is on by default, and will be used by any sites that support it (mostly Google-owned sites such as YouTube, Gmail, and so on, for now). SPDY can speed up page load times by up to 50%, so this should help battle the perception that Chrome is faster than Firefox

Finally, there’s a bunch of small, like : Restored tabs (when the browser starts) will not load their contents until you click them; Smooth scrolling is now on by default; the developer tools (Page Inspector, Style Inspector, etc.) have been upgraded; and of course there’s further support for various HTML5 and CSS3 tags and properties.

Update:
Mozilla has just released a new version of Firefox stable, bringing the version of the browser to 13.0.1 for all supported operating systems. The release notes list both the changes that Mozilla made in Firefox 13 and the three bug fixes in the Firefox 13.0.1 release, which had been released two weeks earlier.

As discussed in previous article, Flash upgrade has caused serious crash and freezing issues for some users, which the new version unfortunately does not address completely.

Updating PHP in CentOS to latest PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4 is not an easy task so I am writing this post. I had to do this for a project in which I need to install latest Zend Loader with PHP 5.3 support. Read the rest of this entry
