A Simple Way to Download Facebook Photo

The case is when you browse through a photo album and want to save the photo you see to your drive, however, when you right click the photo, there is no “save as…” menu in the context popup…

“Oh no… what happen? I can see it, but why I can’t save it?”, you said, (well sort of…)

Maybe they put another layer there, or maybe we are less likely to download a picture nowadays… I don’t know, revealing the media information using browser feature or tools like firebug also didn’t really helpful, since there is so many media resource loaded.

But, suddenly you see something changed, is it the way to the solution? is it the the door that will open reality? is it the answer to the question why we exists in this world and visiting this site everyday?

“Gosh, take this narration crap for your own sake, and just tell me how to download it!” you said (I can read your mind, be patient my friend…)

Yes, that is the URL that has changed when we jump to see different photo! Hurray… that must be the photo landing page!

All you have to do is just [go to your browser address bar after the url changed and hit Enter to go to the photo landing page], and you now can see the cloudy sky has been replaced by a beautiful sun light while you found the “save as…” menu right in front of your mouse arrow…

Disclaimer, I try this with the current facebook photo album on web and might be change in the future…
so please see this post date if this didn’t worked out for you my friend from the future…

DNS Server for slow connection

I know that setting the right DNS server can help fasten my dead-snail-slow internet connection and I used to use some well known public DNS server, but I DIDN’T know that there is a site that provide me with calculated public DNS server for my IP.

It is here: http://www.dnsserverlist.org/
The site was on the top 1st page list of Google result after wikipedia entry for “DNS Servers” – how can I missed that, why nobody told me .

And it works, at least it gave me a very different feel now – definitely a faster loading for regular browsing. Hey, I wonder if there any other way to know optimized DNS or to fasten slow connection…

Hard Resetting my Nokia N5800

It was my unfortunate experience, I just bought this phone a couple months ago, while I got excited to install any kind of applications, games and themes, suddenly the home screen is acting weird – my suspection this problem appears from corrupt application. It’s in the “shortcut bar” mode, and all the shortcut buttons are dissapeared, the keypad and contact button are completely doing nothing when tapped. Soon, I figure out that this is not the case when the home screen mode in “contact bar”, it only happen in “basic” and “shortcut bar”.

Go to menu Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Setting, the access code can be found in the manual book, but it didn’t eliminate the problem. Prepared the guarantee card for Nokia center, I was thinking to give a shot to search a kind of troubleshoot in internet. I later learn about “soft reset” and “hard reset” thing for my phone. It’s a combination of symbols and numbers that used to reset all setting to factory setting (soft reset) or even complete formatting the phone (hard reset) – erasing all contacts, calendars, notes, etc. I don’t know the legal issue of publication of this code, therefore you might want to found it from google.

Below are my step by step to solve this problem, but because it just trial error, nothing official and in the end I think I’ve messed up a bit, I don’t recommend it, if you need to try something similar, please do it at your own risk or better, go to the professional repair center.
- First of all, I remove my SIM card and memory card, leaving the phone in offline mode.
- Then installing Nokia PC suite in my laptop
- Backup all phone data (most important are contacts, calendar and notes). But the themes that installed into the phone is not backed up(?)
- Do soft reset first, phone restarting, but still didn’t solve the problem.
- Do the hard reset, the phone is restarting again, and I got the screen to adjust country, date and time… problem solved, yes! but I still got to have all my data restored back to the phone.
- Go back to PC Suite, and do data restore… ok seems no problem, but my memory card is not inserted yet…
- Inserting my memory card, the phone then initiate the memory card, but alas, some of my games and applications is not installed correctly, they dissapeared from the phone menu, but the themes seems ok. In  second look, the application that is dissepeared are the Java applications.

… noo, I still can’t found the correct way to installed the missing application. Need help please! I found the private folder for the jars, because most the java apps come from OVI store, should I need to move this folder and reinstalled the jars? or is there any way to do it from phone menu?

How Free is Web Content?

Innovations and improvations of web technology has brought us to a new kind of service that everybody involved now, that is as, I don’t know what the proper term for it, “the publicly personal domain provider”, a service that freely available to manage and publish personal interest of its freely registered user such as blogs, profile, bookmarking, video share and search engine, what I want to discuss or ask is how far the responsibility of the owner of such website about the content of what their user publish in the site. It is not a case on the internally managed content like news site or any common personal / company websites. This is not a summary about something, this even just a question for me.

In Example, someone can post and publish a provocated or controversial topics, video or about anything in his/her blog (provided by the free provider). In that case how far is the responsibility of the user owner about the user content? could it be said that the xxxx.com should be responsible about the content, because it was on their domain.

Just like some month ago when in a popular blog aggregator website, there is a post which reveal a code for an illegal stuff, and for a moment the owner try to filter the input, but the user then can protest and the owner can’t do anything about it anymore because it was the original system of such service built to ease communication not only between its own user but openly to the public, and anyone can do anything as they wanted, is there any system to protect the owner or the user about this, if you understand my point (sorry for my horrible english), or was the responsibility fall to the user side (how they accomplish this)?

There is a condition that our site or system can be popular if we can build something above the other resource from this openly world wide web architecture. But I found or feel that somehow the site owner will loose their power on these kind of things, even if me as a user has said agree with some user agreement when first time registered, I just what to know what kind of mechanism of web owner to control their users?

Some things I feel much doubt if I was in the owner position:
- Unkown real user ID, AFAIK can only tracks user location by IP
- Anything that can be shared by user (picture, link, article, video, etc)
- User Comments
- Mash-up

Those things inside was the advantage of the www, but also actually can be used to abuse the web. If eventually we browse to some trusted site but inside the page there ‘iframe’ or ‘ajaxed division’ that link to some unproper content, how can we as the viewer can control this? how free is free?

There’s some mechanism that allowed the viewers to ‘report’ the content on this case, but how long before a person do it and the URI has been used everywhere to mark the content?

The worse is in the search engine, they just like providing link or thumbnail to ‘any’ kind of content, its actually fine for me, but where is my moral responsibility if I was the owner to provide such service, I don’t blame anyone because sometime we just saw how what we call improvation can also be the limitation or down fall of the system overall. Can the most sophisticated search engine be also the huge collection of links and host for an xxx blah blah blah resources, actually? I know that there also some control mechanism provided by one of them such as safe mode for some content searched within their site, but how much it will help. Could we think another approach to manage such a problem? (if you don’t think that it is a problem, I can change it to word ‘challange’), I thought there should many people that concern about this too.

Whois Expire

http://registrar.verisign-grs.com/whois/faq.html

Yesterday i have one internet domain account expired, the domain name is kept secret here however :) it was my failed webmaster wannabe thing, anyway, because i have register it with my personal information, including my KTP (National ID) number, home address, phone etc, i just feel uncomfortable with that (since i though i gave that information just for my domain reseller record in the first time).

So, based on the information from above link, it said that every expired domain will remain active for renewal 45 days after it expired, I wonder if my whois data still there (forever…? if not overwritten, but whose will take the unrelevant domain name anyway).

Ok, so until 45 next days.

Why i’m so anxious about this, beside not to blaming my personality, i saw everybody else whois is not about their actual data (try whois some personal website, or kind). It’s kinda weird when thinking why in the world it’s only me who stupid enough expose my email address, my home address, my ID number to those spammers and ID thefts anywhere…

hmm… or just i’m being too worry again, like always… let’s see…
