XAMPP / WAMP / apache / php running slow on localhost solution

SOLUTION: open a command shell as an Administrator type: netsh type: interface type: portproxy type: add v6tov4 listenport=80 connectport=80 BACKGROUND: Windows environment is such a complex environment to develop on. Many things need to be considered if something goes wrong. Firewall, rogue programs, anti-virus, etc... Anyway, I've been developing in Windows for the past 9 years and only this past year that I encountered slowdown in my localhost which was not present before. I've had this computer since 2008 and hardware configuration has been the same since then except for hard drive upgrade. I've been using the same Windows 7 64-bit installer and settings since then. The only difference was the upgraded version of the apache server (BitNami) that I've been using. And after going on a leave from developing for a few months I haven't touch my development environment since. When I started my local server again, everything was slower than usual. I thought it was something that I have set from an even earlier development when I was testing the loading of website bandwidth constraint using mod_bw. I checked the settings. mod_bw wasn't even installed now. It was something else. Now, with a new site to develop, things were reaching the maximum timeout of processing. I couldn't continue processing the page. This wasn't present on my Macbook Air, this wasn't present on two of my friend's netbook, and is not present on the live server. I though it was the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). It's not. Then I searched Google and found my answer. (see above) Source: http://drupal.org/node/206829#comment-3619872

buzz -- the audio store, a tale of bad sales representation

Ranting my experience a while ago... bad sales rep... While in Robinsons Place Manila to buy T-shirts for ANCOP Global Walk this Aug 12, 2012 me and my sis went by to a store named buzz. An audio accessory selling store. She was looking for a new headphone. We went in. She saw a headphone she wanted to try out. It was sky blue in color. I don't know what brand it is. It's not Skullcandy, nor Hed Kandi. It was a headset. I plugged the headset on the Lenovo P700 I was carrying. She picked out a song. Super Bass. I played the song. No reaction. I tried it out myself to see if the headset volume is comfortable. It sounded like a minus one or a headphone not plugged in correctly. The song was full in volume. I plugged it in fully. No change. No Boom Boom Bass. No Nicki Minaj. I checked my equalizer. It wasn't on. I asked the sales guy in front of me. Me: Ganito ba talaga tunog nito parang minus one. Sales Rep: Sir, baka sira lang po yung file nyo. Sales Rep: Try nyo po yung ibang headphones. (Pointing to a Sennheiser beside it) I smirked, I think. I pulled out my trusted earphones. I used it a while ago. I know it's working. It was an effective Tonino Lamborghini-branded earphones with good bass output and clear sound. I got for 700 pesos at Silicon Valley. It played Super Bass for quite a few months already. I plugged my earphones on the phone. I'm pretty sure he was able to hear my earphones pumping out BOOM BOOM BASS as I present my earphones at h [...]

Samsung Galaxy S now available on Globe for pre-order

When I was passing by Greenbelt 3 to get to Greenbelt 1, I noticed a "new" Globe hub on the way. It's beside Powerbooks, in front of b_connected, near Healthy Options, etc.. It's nothing new, I pass by Globe stores all the time but this one got my attention. It's an advertisement for the Samsung Galaxy S! So I went in. Circled the display looking for the phone. And at the middle there is the beautiful phone. Three of them :) I picked one and meddled with it. It's bigger than the iPhone but a bit lighter and thinner (than 3Gs?). It's a shiny piece of black glass. And I mean shiny. The screen is all black when the screen is off but when it turns on all you can notice is the screen and nothing but the screen! The screen is AMOLED and it's very very nice! Everything is crisp and vibrant! And very captivating as well But unlike the new iPhone 4, you can still see the pixels upon REAL CLOSE UP! iPhone 4*, iPhone 3Gs*, Galaxy S ^{*image from MobileCrunch} It's very prone to smudges as you can see from the video and photos. The Samsung Galaxy S packs the following features:

• 1GHz Cortex-A8 based processor "Hummingbird" with integrated graphics
• 4.0" 16M color SUPER AMOLED screen with multi-touch
• 3.5mm jack
• micro usb port
• 5MPx AF camera with tap-to-focus function and shoot vidoes up to 720p at 30FPS
• 8GB/16GB on-board memory for your media
• Accelerometer, proximity sensor, digital compass

As for the software:

• Android 2.1 Eclair with reports of upgrade to 2.2 FroYo
• Android Samsung UI (Pantheon maybe?)
• DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.236, H.234, WMV, VC-1, 3gp, FLV, MKV
• Flash Lite 3.1 is also integrated into the browser
• Live wallpapers
• Layar
• Swype
• ThinkFree office app
• Aldiko e-book reader

Android Live Wallpaper in action. There is also a list view of the menu if you wanna go old-school or tired of the panes. Interesting though, the fonts are different. I wonder if you can change the font or it comes bundled with the skin... If only the phone was configured with the Android Market and WiFi I would have run some benchmarks nyahahaha~! I wanted to play more with the phone but I was already fondling it for about 20 minutes. I never cared about the iPad that was in front of me :-p I wanted to say more about this phone but I had spent only so little time with it. I'm definitely gonna buy this phone maybe December or on my birthday, March. I'm still waiting for the price to settle down :) Unless of course the Droid X will be released here with a better competitive price by that time. I won't hesitate to buy the Droid X if it's around 30k, give or take 5k. And I'm gonna be waiting for this dock. It's really drooling! hahaha As for the price... I asked the sales lady on when is the availability of the Galaxy S. She told me it was available since June 3 on pre-order. And the price is: Php 31,000! She said that you can also avail of this phone at 0% interest on a 12-month payment. I also asked if when I will get the phone. She said that it's on "reservation with the source" and you can get the phone in 1-2 weeks. Now, I don't know if the price she said was on contract. I hope it isn't! I don't care if it's locked to Globe. I'm on Globe anyway. And on December, I hope they bundle the dock with the phone or something. And that dock! I hope it's gonna be cheaper than what I'm thinking. There's a lot of hoping going on here... hehe' Anyway, let's just hope wish for the best. A lot of Android goodness awaits our future ^^,

Test post from Wordpress for Android

Yes, I am now an Android user and I love it!! Android 1.5 on my Samsung Galaxy Spica is almost as good as the iPhone exprience. I can't wait to update to Android 2.1! Samsung with Android isn't so bad in combination.. Anything with Windows Mobile is!! Damn, I wasted money with that Samsung Omnia II!! So slugish after 3 months use... That's another story and post. Anyway.... If only the Sony Ericson X10 is proven to have multi-touch then I'll upgrade to that this year. If not, then I'll wait for the Samsung Galaxy S price to go down.. (expected to cost around 40 to 45 PHP) or the rumored Motorola Shadow be official. The rumored specs makes me drool! LOL!!

[Ano daw?] Idle for 14727 days and 10 minutes!!

14,727 days is around 40 years, 3 months and 27 days!!! So that'll put it around 1970... The founders of Yahoo were just 2 and 4 years old!! The parents of the creator of pidgin might have not met yet.. Around that time, the Internet is just starting. Linux was released years after...

[Ano daw?] Editation... the process of editing...

I love reading manuals and online tutorials... or maybe that's just part of my job.. anyway, people sometimes get lost in translation. I don't thing there is a word like that. Even Google can't define it. And a blog even says it's not a word. I guess that lacked mEDITATION when they made the documentation.. Or maybe EDIT + DOCUMENTATION = EDITATION.. amp! What ever that is, it isn't on my dictionary, and neither should yours be. The page. (near bottom) I guess it's better than EDITATING... lol!
