DEBUG.EXE is an tool that allows us to write (assemble, disassemble), edit, and execute programs (COM, EXE).

It was introduced as debug.com in MS-DOS 1.0. But since MS-DOS 5.0, it’s been called the debug.exe.

You may download a copy of DEBUG.EXE from the following link:
DEBUG.EXE (84)

***DEBUG.EXE is going to be included in Windows 7.

I used to use the Wordpress plugin Counterize II to keep track of my blog’s statistics, but then I felt that I had to switch into something else. I looked for another feature-rich stats plugin but one that is faster and that will take up less database space. After trying different plugins, I chose to stick with CyStats.

The only thing I needed but didn’t get (right away) from CyStats is the code to insert into my themes in order to call functions to return values like the total number of hits, total number of comments, total number of posts, and such. Maybe there’s a web page lying around in the Internet and I simply did not search thoroughly that I wasn’t able to find it. And since I didn’t find it, I’m making my own list of template tags (template functions) here, hoping that it would help other users.

By the way, I got all these from the template-functions.php which is inside the /includes folder of the plugin. I’m putting a list here just to make our task easier.

To align a DIV block to the center, I used to think that the following CSS property would do it:

text-align:center;

But no, that didn’t do it. That would only align to the center the contents of the DIV block.

For our school work, Microsoft Office is very much used. Students exchange MS Office files with one another for homework and projects. Based on my observation, each time a file in MS Office 2007 format (.docx, .pptx, or .xlsx) is sent to a student who uses MS Office 2003, that receiving student complains, and either makes the sender save it as a 2003 file and resend it, or sulk face in one corner of the room for not knowing how to open the 2007 file.

Let’s make a list here of few ways to open .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx files in a computer without Microsoft Office 2007.

I used to be a Computer Science student in FEU – East Asia College. I loved programming, and I still do. But it felt so wrong to go on with that course, solving machine problems using different programming language, while the Information Technology students design and develop web pages, while coding programs too.

There was one course exclusively (in our school) for Computer Science students that I took before shifting into IT. It’s COBOL(COmmon Business-Oriented Language). I hated my COBOL class so much, but not because I cannot solve the machine problems, but because it really didn’t interest me… There was another reason, but I won’t mention it. Though my classmates back then know what it is. Haha! (Hint: Snoopy)
