neotoxin — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:21:20 +0800

noob on Saga BLM wanna ask something:

I want to DIY the ATF replacement for my wife's BLM, so here are some questions:
(1) How much ATF needed?
(2) Where is the drain plug for the gearbox (I haven't take a look at the underside of the car - yet)
(3) Where to pour in the new ATF? Is it through the ATF dipstick hole?
(4) How to properly check the ATF level?

This is the sample XML

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MD_Metadata xmlns="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/metadataEntity.xsd">

Creating new datatype (custom date)

neotoxin — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:44:26 +0800

Dear all,

I'm new to XML and I need to create an XML schema for our application.

As the topic says, I want to create a custom date datatype. A normal xml date datatype will look kile this 'YYYY-MM-DD' but in my case I want to create a date that look like this 'YYYYMMDD'. The only method that I can think of is using simpleType string with restriction i.e. using regular expression patterns.

But I'm so newbie in Regular expression : the regular expression should do this:
(1) maximum 8 characters
(2) all must be integer
(3) 1st 4 digit have max 9999 <--- like we can live until year 9999
(4) the 5th and 6th should max at '12' <-- month max at 12 right?
(5) 7th and 8th should max at 31
how do the regex look like?

..or is there any other method to create that kind of date data type in XML?

How to block embedded audio in webpage?

neotoxin — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 07:43:45 +0800

Some websites owner think that embedding songs within their webpage is COOL but for me it's the other way around.. It is not cool at all.. It's ANNOYING... Some not even providing a control button to pause the music..

My question is: How to block embedded audio if I'm browsing using Google Chrome. I tried to search for Chrome extension that do this sort of thing but to no avail. The closest I found is AdBlock with custom filter. The problem with AdBlock is that I'm using a reallllyyyy oooold PC and AdBlock will spawn a new chrome.exe process that eats a lot of processing power. It made my browsing experience a sluggish one. Is there any other alternative beside AdBlock?

Clunking sound when shifting to 2nd gear

neotoxin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:56:44 +0800

I just got this problem with my car. When shifting to 2nd gear when the car is moving there's a clunking noise and the gear lever rattles. There's some grinding sound like the clutch is not fully disengage even though I floor the clutch pedal. This behavior does not occur when the car is stationary. What could be the problem? Maybe some of you have experienced this before. I just wanna know whats goin' on there so that when I make my visit to any workshop, I dont get conned easily (you know la, change this and that, everything have to be changed... bla bla...)

Detail: F5M222 gearbox on 4G92P, recently changed clutch (Triniti 6 puck), and of course recently changed transmission oil. Clutch pump's hydraulic fluid is full, recently changed too

Active subwoofer on 5.0 amp/receiver

neotoxin — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 20:22:54 +0800

I need some help folks...

Here's the situation:
I have a 5.0 amp/receiver (quite ancient) which means no pre-out for subwoofer. It only has 3 pre-out i.e. 2 for rear (left & right) and the other 1 for center speaker.

On the other side, it has 2 sets of output which is output set A and output set B for front/main speaker. I can switch on either Set A or set B, or both A and B, as well as turn them both off.

below is a sample picture of the rear portion:

I can only think of 2 ways to do the connection of my active sub to the amp:-
(1) connect the sub to either one of the 3 pre-out available --> hmm.. how would it sound?
(2) use high-low impedance converter (like what we use on car stereo to power-amp) and connect it to output Set A or B and switch on both output set during playback

So,
- which of my proposed solution above will do the trick nicely?
- is there any other way to do the connection?

Thank you & regards,
