As usual, setting up in Virtual Box is fairly simple. I've installed Ubuntu on it and enabled the Virtual Box's shared folder feature. To mount the shared folder on the system, I need to run the command below:
mount -t vboxsf <Shared_Folder_Name> <Local_Directory_Name>
However, the problem is I have to type it everytime I reboot the system. So I went out to search for the file that I can place my commands. The funny thing is I don't know the exact term and I even tried the "Ubuntu equivalent of Windows' autoexec.bat".
Finally, I found it. It's /etc/init.d/rc.local 
Have fun.

Two days ago, I was thinking of trying out both Ubuntu 7.04 and Microsoft Vista Ultimate, so I went to download the ISO from ubuntu.com and MSDN. Naturally after that, I go on to burn the ISO into CD and DVD.
While I was burning my ISO files into CD/DVD, CDBurnerXP Pro kept prompting me that my disc aren't blank. When I try burning my data files from hard disk, it works. So I thought, "Why not I try to mount the ISO and burn the files from the Virtual Disk?". So I went ahead with that idea.
Sadly, I can't boot any of them. After a long period of trial-and-error, I decided to install Nero and burn the ISO directly. It works! Most importantly, not only successfully burn the ISO but it can boot from the CD/DVDs.
So the moral of the story, don't burn your bootable programs from Virtual Disk. It won't work.

I can't believed it that I've been using extract($_GET) and extract($_POST) where I could just type in extract($_REQUEST). Feel so silly now. Nevertheless, it was cool to learn that it exist. Never to late to learn.

Recently, I've been using Jquery framework to do all my Javascript chores. Needless to say, I love it. Documentation rocks, easy to implement and lovely syntax. The reason I write this post is not to praise Jquery but to see whether anyone experience some kind of weirdness in their effect functions.
So weirdness came, when I fetch my information using AJAX and construct the information in HTML. Subsequently, I insert the HTML using append() and after that I slideDown() it. It works perfectly fine - no lagged.
However, when I shift the slideDown() outside of the AJAX, $.getJSON(), it gives some sort of lagged. Weird huh?
Snippet of the code below...
