Tips - Making phone stealer feel stupid
by eims on Apr.12, 2008, under Tips & tricks
Has anyone of you have any experience of your precious cellphone been stolen away from you? Yeah its feel like sh*t. I myself feel that a few times before. Only if I know this tip before this.
Do you know that each cell phone have this what so called IMEI serial number that is unique for every cell phone. To display the phone IMEI serial number, just dial this number.
* # 0 6 #
Without spaces. (star hash zero six hash)
The number that shows on the display now is a 15 digits unique number acting as an ID number for wach phone produced all over the world. Write the numbers down and keep it safe where you can find it back afterwards.
My advice you can put some note somewhere inside the phone (behind battery cover) telling that you have the IMEI serial number and its no use to steal this phone. Funny buts it may save you from loosing your precious expensive phone.
Now even if you lost your phone, you can make a report to the phone line service provider. For example Maxis, Celcom or Digi. Give the the IMEI number to them so they can block the use of any communication in and out from the phone. Even if the stealer change the SIM Card, he wont be able to use it anyway.
Even though that you might never get your phone back, with making the phone useless to the stealer is enough. If every phone user know this tips and write down their IMEI serial number and do a report if the phone was stolen or lost, we might reduce such crime of phone stealing because the phone won’t be able to be used or sell. Well at least we can make the phone stealer feel stupid for stealing phone.

[Wordpress - Remove media enclosure inside feeds]
by eims on Apr.10, 2008, under Blogging life, Tips & tricks
While most bloggers & web developers running for a new world of podcasting and developing scripts to enable their blog for ipod friendly feeds, some of bloggers might not like that since the media enclosure function will reveal the direct link to the media and vurnerable for free downloads or hotlinking the media from other sites. And as the result, the bloggers will loose quite a large amount of their visitors that able to download the media easily without visiting the owner site first (even for saying thanks) :face6:
I tried to search on the web for the solution of this stuff and found nothing that can solve some of those bloggers who doesn’t wan’t their blog feeds to contain any media enclosure. But after searching for the solution inside the wordpress itself, I manage to find the coding that was used to parse media enclosure link inside the blog feed. For any blogger that using wordpress and want to disable media enclosure inside their blog, you can use this trick here :
1) Find this 2 files inside wp-include folder. feed-rss2.php and feed-atom.php.
2) Open feed-rss2.php and somewhere in the bottom of the codes,
you can find the statement rss_enclosure().
Comment or remove the function there and save.
<?php //rss_enclosure(); ?>
you can find the statement atom_enclosure().
Comment or remove the function there and save.
<?php //atom_enclosure(); ?>
