I have purchased an iPhone this week. Yes an old version iPhone Unlocked and Jailbroking. Running Cydia so i can get them handy Apps.

The first thing i done was head wrong my mates to see actually if the iPhone 3G was any faster.

So the test was iPhone vs iPhone 3G both running on O2UK 3G Pay as you Go Sims. So we tested it out on my domain www.ollie.at. Pressed Go and they both starting loading.

They both got of to an equal start however the iPhone 3G completed then the iPhone come in behind the diffrence in connection speed seemed to work pretty much the same untill the last hurdle of showing the page.

I downloaded Google Chrome at the weekend and i think its the best browser. The broswer loads page faster than IE 7. If not twice as fast however not put it to the test against FireFox 3 yet.

Google Chrome is defently one of the best broswer for Google Applications such as YouTube, Google Mail, Etc.

If youve removed your recycle bin icon, or you previously added the some of the "special" icons like Computer, User or Control Panel to the desktop and they are now missing, you might want to know how to add them back.

Go to Control Panel -> Personalize (or right-click on the desktop and select Personalize), and then choose the link for "Change Desktop Icons" on the left-hand side.

Now you can chose the icons you want back on the desktop by checking the box next to the name.

Click the Apply button, and you should see the icon show up on the desktop immediately.

Handy code to count number of rows in MySQL. I use the code to search return results of how many posts are in on Catergry on my blog.

$db_con = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("database", $db_con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM post WHERE catergory='Example'"$db_con);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

echo $num_rows;

When creating custom design in C# you want to move your application these codes will enable the whole application or just the outsides to move.

using Microsoft.Win32;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

On Form1 add this code

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
            public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1;
            public const int HT_CAPTION = 0x2;

            [DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
            public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd,
                int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);

[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();

       private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
            {
                ReleaseCapture();
                SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0);
            }
        }

Or if you wish to apply it to move by an object only add

private void Object_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
      {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
            {
                ReleaseCapture();
                SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0);
            }
        }

Handy script to set an Intro on to application. Firstly create Form1 and then in Form1 create Form2.

Add a timer named "timer1". Set timer1 properties to Enabled is "True" and Interval is "5000" (5 Seconds).

Now use this script on timer tick

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form2 ShowForm2 = new Form2();
        this.Hide();
        ShowForm2.Show();
        timer1.Stop();
    }

Remember than Form1 is only hidden so when Form2 is closed Form1 will still be active in background.

Again today I was working with James installing firmware to products. Today I also moved onto electronically unlocking a product installing firmware and then electronically locking after the firmware had finish installing.

Day 4

Day 5
I did not attend work due to illness.

Ollie Kett Designs has developed a PHP / MySQL Website Stats and Online Tracking System called "TSys". You may see this system working on various networking sites. If you wish to be part of TSys or have it working on your site contact us.

TSys is a online system which takes time and dates of the users page impressions working scripts together it takes visits hits and then creates a log of the users root throughout the network. Every hit is added to a database which takes IP, Time & Date, Page Title, Page URL and User Agent and then combines to count the total page hits of a page and the total hits from that hit.

The TSys works via an Image and can be used as a URL seen below.
