Run IE6 On Vista

By On · 201 Comments · In Uncategorized
Internet Explorer is the biggest torn in my butt since the dawn of age when there was a lonely torn from a lonely plant – which was the only plant available to poke my butt. The one thing i hate as a webdesigner is that you have to cater your site for a number of browsers. More often than not you have to cater it for Internet Explorer because that is the default web browser on all computers. Mister G did ask me why can’t i just cater for Firefox the one that doesn’t give problems. While I would love to do that but it’s not possible and here is why.
  1. You have people who have no brains when it comes to using the internet,
  2. you have people who have no idea what is Firefox,
  3. you have people who are too lazy to install Firefox,
  4. You have people who are too lazy to want to KNOW about Firefox
  5. You have people who will just use whatever is default on a computer – which is usually windows – hence it will be IE.
  6. Vista is still new, and even though IE7 is out, people do not know how to upgrade because of reason 1 and 4.
So it is tough to cater for just Firefox which is my most beloved web browser at the moment. Worse still is that despite IE7 fixing a number of bugs that IE6 had.. not everyone uses IE6 yet. What can one do? I went all over the place to search for a program to help me run IE on my Vista. Vista as you know doesn’t allow IE6 since it already comes with an IE7. But that doesn’t mean i can’t find ways to go round it. After much googling and trials, I came across one very helpful article that teaches you “How to run IE6 on Windows Vista using Virtual PC.” You can view the full article there, in the mean time I’ll shorten it for you on how to go about installing IE6 on your Vista Platform. Quite straightforward actually. Requirements: Here is what it should look like on your Vista screen. Click on the images to get a clearer view.

The Deal On Project Trafford

By On · 326 Comments · In Uncategorized
I had mentioned to a few friends of mine that I was on , this new top secret mission project initiated by the blog ad service Nuffnang.

Project Trafford

And just so happened that they are bloggers to on Nuffnang – yeah yeah they are Min Li and Nick Dorian. They kept bugging me to tell them what was Project Trafford all about. But I insisted that they wait until I’ve gotten details from my head in command and written about it. Unnfortunately they got me playing 20 questions where i told them I was only allowed to answer yes or no. But before I get into that,let me first introduce the incredible masterminds of my team. Our head Kahuna and miss travelling mastermind herself Nicole Tan from nicolekiss.blogspot.com .

Check out her column here on TheStar

Honestly the answer is so in your face, you could just kick yourself if you didn’t see it. It’s Old Trafford Babbyyyy..!!!! Project Trafford is about us 6 bloggers set to give you some – or maybe just one – idea of how you can win an all expense paid trip to Old Trafford and walk on the green grounds of the legendary footballers themselves, such Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, along with the new bloods of Man United, Christiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. We’ve gotten wind that a very generous company is giving away 30 exclusives tickets to the Stadium and Museum of the Red Devils which is worth RM15000. Can you take a guess which company that is?
