Ahfook's Story

Years ago, I developed PHP in Windows using IIS (Internet Information Services) as web server. I had no problem to setup virtual directories under IIS because I could just right click the web server and click Add Virtual Directory.

However now I am using Apache in Windows XP, I need to configure the virtual directory manually by editing httpd.conf file. The reason why I want to setup virtual directories is because I want to concentrate my projects code in drive D:\ instead of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ or C:\xampp\.

After searching Google and read few websites, I have my answer on how to configure virtual directories, here is code to be added in to my httpd.conf file:

Alias /krova "D:\projects\krova"

<Directory "D:\projects\krova">
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

After restarted my Apache server, and pointed my browser to http://localhost/krova/, it works!

Downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) last night. Burned into CD and had a quick test with Live CD. It’s greatly improved, now I do not need Google all around just to get my TP-LINK TL-WN321G wireless adapter to work, the driver is included and it just run!

Need to find a time to install and use it, before that, settle my pending stuffs first.

This blog post was written using Firefox 3 under Ubuntu 9.04.

Paid for broadband 512k and get 9.6k dial up modem speed, this is the BEST broadband service in Malaysia. In Taiwan I can download whole Ubuntu CD in 30 minutes while watching Youtube without lagging.

I like Google’s stuffs (except for Picasa, I prefer Flickr). Been downloaded Google Chrome, a new browser from Google. Works like charm, looks cool too. No problem at all to write this post.

Inspired by this post, I came out a way to round down a decimal number to nearest 0 or 5 in MySQL.

For example: 1.27 -> 1.25, 3.23->3.20

MySQL code:

SELECT TRUNCATE(value * 2, 1) / 2;
