Webpage programming: Unlocking cash voucher

miraged — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:03:17 +0800

Hey,

i'm sure most web gurus will know the solution to this.

I've got a website which I want to enable users to download a cash voucher / gift voucher only after the user jumps through 'hoops' which I set for them.

So using social media for example, only IF the user shares my website on their facebook timeline/ newsfeed, then and only then they are allowed to access a particular voucher.

Someone told me just put the voucher in your facebook 'page' and when the user clicks 'like' the voucher is then downloadable and printable by user. My point is that i want them to share my page to their friends before i give them the voucher.

Ideas, web gurus?

HD280Pro or HD555?

miraged — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:17:25 +0800

hi guys
i'm looking for a headphones to use for hi -fi music. having a budget, and i've zoomed in to these two models.

okay, i'd appreciate if some of u recommend things other than these two, but it'll be relly good if it could be limited to these two.

i know that 280 is closed and the hd555 is open. i like the openess of headphones - let's the bass ring more naturally - however the closed HD280 gives it an edge because it seals outside sound out. airplane purposes it's FANTASTIC!

i've checked reviews and forums... but still can't make up my mind. could u guys help? honestly i'm leaning towards the HD555 for it's higher price tag and high model number. i don't wanna be caught in that trap, hence i ask u gurus for feedback. thanks a lot...

[addedon]February 22, 2008, 10:04 am[/addedon]nice... NO answers...
oh well...
i've decided to get... BOTH

haha... have a good one

Unfilled Nikon warranty card

miraged — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:00:00 +0800

okay, here's the situation

just bought 18-200 VR.... however,i asked for the warranty card, UNFILLED with the company CHOP. she looked at me, slightly bewildered, but then just proceeded to inform me that i should not wait too long to filll it up and post it to nikon.

my question: a lot of u guys here buy stuff with and then sell here in forums with UNFILLED warranty cards. what does that mean? does this mean later on i can fill up the card and send to nikon wihtout any problems? what if my warranty gets rejected coz i took too long to send it to them?

purpose of unfilled warranty cards is so tht there is higher second hand value right?

how?

edit: so for those too lazy to follow the discussion, it's being said that unfiled warranty cards aren't a problem as more often than not, nikon personnel in charge of warranty will not do a cross check of the warranty card and THEIR internal database, showing when the lens was 'shipped out' to the retailers. all u need to do is provide ur warranty card to NIKON and they'll accept it with following conditions :

1. the date on the card must be sensible, for a discountinued unit such as camera, make sure the date purchased isn't the day / week before. i'd suggest a date 3-6months before.
2. make it look as natural as possible. bring the box of ur product (makes sense right? )
3. depending on ur luck - what kinda nikon personnel u encounter on that day

HDD clicks and PC hangs

miraged — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 01:13:45 +0800

encountering such problems.
i'd be doing my thing on my pc, and suddenly i hear a 'click' - and after few seconds, my pc hangs. have to restart it by presssing reset button.

the 'click' is from the HDD. this click is when u switch of the computer, that 'click' is heard. i've got few HDD, and i've disconnected one by one, realised it's coming from my primary one (with OS on it).

i tot it was my overclocking. so i ran it back on stock settings, i still encountered the same problems.

could it be my PSU? powerlogic atrix - i tot coz i've been OCing and using this PSU (which ppl claim to be lousy) i tot my power supply wasn't stable.

or could it be my HDD is dying?

thanks for ur time

Unethical seller.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry12890617

i'm fedup with this buyer- alfa99
let me explain.

i pmed him saying i was interested. was happy with his price and said i'll reserve it.
right from this point, he takes ages to reply. no porblems some ppl are busy.

if u noticed, i said in messages above that i was awaiting his reply.
what i never did tell u ppl, for i wanted to be courteous to him was that he checks LYN about 3 times a day (coz i've seen him being online) and he just surfs around. checks out his PM (so i'm sure he read my pm), then he checks out other stuff then he leaves, wihtout replying.

no problem. some ppl wanna take their time to reply.

so when he gets back to me, he gives me details of his card and details of COD. i ask him whether it's alright to COD in subang. coz number one, i have NO idea how to get to klang.

i wait again....

and guess what.... ? he said YES! (my!!! was i happy!) but he said it's limited to subang, summit.
i said very well... that's fine with me. i asked him to RESERVE the card for me. he said OKAY. and hence he updated this topic with the line "RESERVED TO MIRAGED"

wanted to deal with him during this week. after few pm's and waiting for a day or so, he replied, saying he's busy during the week... that's why cannot cod at summit. he said he's only free on saturday, 10pm.

i replied, saying i found a friend staying in klang, which could meet up with him.
he replied : sure! and then he gave me his location in klang.

i recieved pm today saying whether i was stil interseted. he said if i was not, he already has a buyer in klang.

i expressed my amazement! he reserved the card for me, and now he's considering someone else. also he REMOVED the 'reserved to miraged' line from this topic.
he said there's no such thing as reserve without deposit. he said he said only COD in klang... (never did bother asking him about our previous arrangement to COD in summit)

from this point on, i got pretty fed up. pmed him few times, which he checked but never read, and finaly when i asked him is he interseted to sell or is he just jerking me around... he replied, no let's not do this deal. he's not interseted in selling.

so yeah. whoever wants to deal with this chap. beware.

PS: i was accused for being rude, whilst i knew i wasn't even up til now.

Tracking Registry changes

miraged — Thu, 31 May 2007 13:40:38 +0800

I'm installing a SW, and i need to track the registry changes. reason is... i want to uninstall it, and to get rid of all the registry changes. reason? hehe.... i'm playing a game which has a trial period of 10 hours.

in the past (maybe in the year 1998- when we were all using Windows98) i used a SW called Norton Clean SWeep which did the job of cleaning registry change.

right now, is there any registry tracker / editor which can do this job? preferably free la!

WTA : 2nd hand D70s?

miraged — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:53:17 +0800

hey all,
my cousin's interested in getting a 400D from canon. why? coz she prefers the colours of canon. anywyas, that's not open for debate .

the thing is, she is willing to sell her d70s to me, and go for this 400D. she's apparetnly getting a VERY VERY VERY good price for the 400D. 2 lenses for a very cheap price. her firend's a dealer

the 70S she BOUGHT is a YEAR OLD, and bought at a price of RM3627 inclusive of 2 batts lens and filter.
so if you were me, how much would u offer to buy the 70S from her? (she's not a heavy user, so shutter count is good)

D40 or D50?

miraged — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 09:35:10 +0800

hey,
i'm a beginner to photography and i was deciding on a d50 or d40.

d40 is lightweight, easy to use, cheap, etc however, it can only autofocus on af-s lenses

d50 i heard is compatible with all lenses. for long term use and upgradability, between these TWO cameras which do u suggest.

i'd appreciate if u don't suggest other than this two if it's more expensive. budget is RM2500+-.

PS: d50 is about 2 years old right?

RMA- Manufacturer or Reseller?

miraged — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 16:48:14 +0800

LYN forumers sell items in garage sale, saying, for example

3 day personal warranty
lifetime warranty - RMA urself

question is- WHERE TO RMA from? the shop? or the manufacturer- kingston/ apacer?

most of the time, forumers dont' give the shop tehy bought it from.

reason i ask, my freind just sent his ADVANCE MODULES RAM for RMA, they were quite pissed with him, saying that he should have sent it to the SHOP he bought it from.

and here the shop says, RMA directly with manufacturer...

so WHICH IS WHCIH?

also, if i buy RAM frrm forumers, how to RMA?

my freind who runs a shop, says that KINGSTON and APACER doesn't accpet direct from end users.
so HOW man...

Rear Fan

miraged — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 04:19:34 +0800

i wanna attach good rear fan/s to the back of my casing.
looking at either 2 80mm ones or 1 120mm fan. my casing can support either one...

my question:
can i simply buy any fan? as i know, can blows one direction. either in, or out of the case....

so how can i know which coolermaster/ thermaltake/ delta fans blow OUT of the casing?
i wanna blow hot air OUT of casing..... or just take the fan , and flip the orientation, that'll do the trick?

[WTWarn]Malcolm86=Verbation?

miraged — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 19:29:09 +0800

check this out ppl
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...1&#entry8520841

the photos put up by verbation was in a photobucket username malcolm86.
verbation and malcolm 86 was taking turns to log in and out. replying my messages directed to both accounts. replies were quick and prompt from both accounts.

ATTENTION :

malcolm86 and verbation is the SAME person. well... he claims that they are brothers.
we all know that double accounts are not allowed...

asked him snap photo he said he no digi cam,
claimed the photos of the hdd was taken using scanner.
asked him to scan his IC and his brother's IC.... he stopped replying then (know that we exchanged over 20 pms - he kept asking me whehter i'm interested)

so beware of trading with him. make sure ure sure.

the photo of HDD matches the description of HDD he is selling.
i checked the warranty and the serial number, also the same.
it's 160Gb, WD, 8mb cahce and

has RECIEPT. he is telling the truth if u wanna know whhter he actually HAS the item.
so dont worry about the HDD. he has it. but why two accounts.. i dunno whistling.gif

he accused me of being a joybidder, whichi i never did agree to buy his product... i was still asking him for details, and he knows that.

ANYWYAS, i created this to just give a headsup to anyone keen in dealing with him. becareful, check ur items thoroughly.

computer hangs!

miraged — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:26:45 +0800

hello,

my pc has been 'hanging' for a number of times over these few weeks. it isn't like any normal 'hang' like i've experienced. usually, it's because of opening too many programs or runnin buggy programs. where u hear ur hDD and ur leds on the COMP going berserk.

however, this few times, i was just... say...reading a word file. and then SUDDENLY
i hear NOISE being emitted from my speakers. noise as in electrical noise that kind... my mouse also goes dead, and so does my keyboard.
what to do? restart loh...

has anyone had this problem?

i'm running on Asus P4p800-X mobo
P4 2.4C @ 3.24 Ghz
HyperX 512mbx2 Ram @ 216Mhz (using 5:4 divider)
GC running @ stock speed
using PowerLogic Atrix 500T PSU.

thanks in advance!

BT and Browser conflict

miraged — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 02:53:34 +0800

i realised when i switched on BT (tried azureus, now utorrent) it will ... 'choke' my connection.
when it's on, my web browsing MOST OF THE TIME returns error. if not, the page will not load fully, and it'll time out.

it's only when i swtich off BT, then firefox can run again .

fyi i'm using Dlink's 4 port router modem DSL504-T. my PC has onboard LAN.
i opened ports 655XX for my BT in my router setting page.
firewall has exemption for BT.

any idea?
i really need a pro. i've tried loads of intermediate level options... didn't help.. .tried disabling uPNP, DHT and so many other things... enabled them back ....all didn't work.

thanks in advance!
