How to not triggering the alarm of my Myvi

guybrush — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 07:47:52 +0800

Hi All,

I owned a Myvi 1.3 eZi. Yesterday I accidentally dropped my car remote control on the floor, and after that it's not working even after I removed the battery a few times. Nothing seems to spoilt physically from view, but not sure if the drop has huge impact on the PCB. I couldn't locate my spare key out of sudden.

Anyone know how to not triggering the alarm when opening the door? Is it possible to replace the control at their service center?

First time encountered such situation. Pardon me if I am asking noon question.

Thanks.

Anyone notice this project next to Parklands at Klang there? I noticed that the signboard already plotted out that the development is named as "Bandar Bestari"?

Pity guy story...

guybrush — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 01:59:07 +0800

So here is my story:

Since my young age, I am being introvert all the time and less care about what people
said towards me. At that time, I center the world on myself only. Now, I am a working class already
and due to the industry I'm in (Programmer), I almost have little contact with outside world except
via computer only.

I am not good in opening a topic with strangers and have lousy social skills in my point of view. At
sometimes, I have low esteem and shy when talking to strangers. Now only i realize,
if you don't stand up for yourself no one will.

I always have the urge to go out but frankly speaking i don't like wandering outside alone
without any motive and wasting the petrol money. I want to social with people but i don't have the
idea where to start because people of my age mostly already pampered with their partners d.
I envy those people who have good social skills which i believe nowadays it's an important part of
this demanding society.

I don't like this kind of life and feeling so bored with myself already...I want to live a interesting
life and if possible change myself to an extrovert. I think i should start to change myself before
it's getting too late.

I seriously think i need help to turn the situation around. What should i do to improve my situation?

P/S: Don't ask me to post anything about my photo or whatever. I need serious advice.

PHP Question

guybrush — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:30:34 +0800

Hi, I've just started to learn php and try to write a program.
My program basically resembles a input form..The Coding is like below:

CODE

Config.php
------------
<?php
define('SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB', 'database');
define('USERNAME', 'root');
define('PASSWORD', 'root');
?>

GetStates.php
----------------
<?php
require('config.php');

function GetStates()
{
$conn = mysql_connect(SERVER, USERNAME, PASSWORD) or
die('Unable to connect to server');
$db = mysql_select_db(DB, $conn) or
die('Unable to access database');
$query = 'Select * From State';
$result = mysql_query($query) or
die("Query failed: " . mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$states = '<option value="' . $row['description'] . '">' . $row['code'] . '</option>';
return $states;
}
mysql_close($conn);
}
?>

index.php
-----------
<?php require('include/getstates.php'); ?>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="full_name"/><br>
<select name="home_state">
<?php
$state = GetStates();
echo $state;
?>
</select>
<select name="corr_state">
//get state again
</select>
<select name="office_state">
//get state again
</select>

I've two questions:
1) The code in index.php under home_state field, i'm unable to have the items loaded to the combobox,
how to rectify it?
2) My other question would be, if the first one question is fixed. How do i reuse the data so that i no need
to query server for same information again. The answer came across my mind would be storing the first
query result in a variable and just echo it wherever it's needed.

Hope fellow lowyatians who familiar with php language can guide me on this.

Enterprise reporting tools for PHP

guybrush — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:26:53 +0800

Hi, I am new to PHP and I'm writing a program which the user
requested to be able to print out the data on the grid to
printer as hard copy...

As far as i know, ASP.NET we can use Crystal Report or
if the DB used is SQL Server, then we can use the SQL-Server Reporting
Service. However, does PHP has similar thing like that? Any PHP expert
out there knows the answer for this?

Thanks!

Wisely choose first job is important?

guybrush — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:45:21 +0800

Sorry for my long posting...

I've been working as programmer for my current employer for
more than 2.5 years already and this is my first official job. To be honest,
this is not my ideal job and i remembered last time when I've graduated
and had spent approximately 3 months at home looking for job via
job portals and ads in newspaper. I had sent numerous resume and applications
to many companies and my current employer was the first to respond..

So, I end up working for this company since during that time i don't have
much choice and was thinking that i should be satisfied that i've finally landed a job...
But now looking back, I'm not sure whether i've make a good decision. Maybe I'm abit naive back that time thinking that at the mean time gain experience first and then after two years i can switch to other job easily. FYI, my company use Delphi to develop software..maybe some of u guys heard before and some might not...Not much people on the market still using it.

While lately I've been actively sending resume out to start to look for better opportunities...
Some in .NET or Java, but sadly i hardly get any response back...Anyone facing same situation like me?? What should i do?

Copy Existing Table Structure

guybrush — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:09:36 +0800

The problem i face right now is that the existing table lacks a field and right now i want to add that field into the table...My way of doing it is create a temp table with old structure then add the new field to it....migrate all the data over plus update the new column with values...But the problem is how to use SQL to achieve this in Firebird?
