Just visit Facebook Application Directory, surely you will find various type of applications, and your task is just choose one or more application that you prefer to use. Of course besides you can use all the type of the application there, you could also set up you own and submit it to the application directory. The following post will explain to you how to set up your own simple facebook aplication.

Before we begin, there are a few things you need to know. In order to create a Facebook application, you should know or need the following:

• You should be well versed in PHP or some other coding language — such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or Python — especially one that has a client library for Facebook API.
• You need to have a basic understanding of the Internet, SSH, MySQL, and Unix
• You need to be familiar with Web hosting fundamentals and have a place to host your application. You can read some fundamentals about hosting here

Now you’re ready to get started! You can read in depth instructions on the Facebook Developers Wiki, but this outline here should give you good enough idea to get you going.

Setting Up Your Application

1. First you need to log in to the Facebook Developer application: Go to the Facebook Developer App
   After following the link, click “Allow” to let the Developer application access your profile.
2. Begin setting up a new application. Go to the Developer application and click “Set Up New Application”. Give your application a name, check to accept the Terms of Service, then click Submit. You’ll see some basic information about your application, including:
   • Your API key: this key identifies your application to Facebook. You pass it with all your API calls.
   • Your application secret: Facebook uses this key to authenticate the requests you make. As you can tell by its name, you should never share this key with anyone.



3. Now we need to configure a few more settings before we can get into the code. Click “Edit Settings”. Notice that the support and contact email addresses are pre-populated with the email address associated with your Facebook account.
4. Enter a callback URL. This is the address where your application lives on your server, or the server where the application is being hosted.
5. Enter a canvas page URL. A canvas page is the address where your application lives on Facebook. When users access your application on Facebook, they’re taken to your canvas page. It’s a good idea to use your application name or something similar. It must be at least 7 characters long and include only letters, dashes and underscores.
6. You want users to be able to put your application on their profiles, so select “Yes” at “Can your application be added on Facebook?”
7. Believe it or not, this is all we really need to get a simple application ready to go. Click “Save and continue”.

But the special feature form ASCII Art its self that you could hide your secret document in it, like I have used to write my journal in: Read Me! There is nothing visually discernible about such ASCII art till you try and decode it with the decoder and dicover the hidden message.

Picture Worth a Thousand Words may look like an innocent image to ASCII Converter, but it also hides any data or document in the ASCII characters of the image. Check out some example of this Ascii Art, try to copy and paste the messages in the decoder box to read the hidden message.

Below is a little information about Google Public DNS service:

• Provide end users with an alternative to their current DNS service. Google Public DNS takes some new approaches that we believe offer more valid results, increased security, and, in most cases, better performance.
• Help reduce the load on ISPs’ DNS servers. By taking advantage of our global data-center and caching infrastructure, we can directly serve large numbers of user requests without having to query other DNS resolvers.
• Help make the web faster and more secure. We are launching this experimental service to test some new ways to approach DNS-related challenges. We hope to share what we learn with developers of DNS resolvers and the broader web community and get their feedback.
• A top-level domain (TLD) name service. Google is not an operator of top-level domain servers (generic or country-code), such as Verisign.
• A DNS hosting or failover service. Google Public DNS is not a third-party DNS application service provider, such as DynDNS, that hosts authoritative records for other domains.

The Google Public DNS IP addresses are as follows:

- Preferred DNS server : 8.8.8.8
- Preferred DNS server : 8.8.4.4

To change the settings for your PC, please read my journal or visit this one.

How could I burn some data to a CD without using Nero or another burning software?

That’s the question that asked by my friend to me, when he want to burn his data to his PC, that doesn’t have a program that could be used to burning like Nero etc.

I answer him: yes, of course, the one way is using the Windows feature it self. Window actually have a burning feature, doesn’t it? Just some people not recognize it.

Take a look this easy way:

• Insert a blank CD into your drive
• Just copy all of your data that you want to burn in it
• After done, just click “Write these files to CD“
• Automatically Windows will burn all of your data into the CD.

I hope this experience could help you.

Option C: Magixl.com lets you draw caricature portraits of the human face – choose the type of jaws, skull, eyes, etc and your caricature sketch is ready in seconds.

Option D: Finally, if you have the inclination and the time, here’s a good tutorial on how to draw your own caricatures.

You may use the good-old Print Screen key or any of the professional screen capture tools to grab your desktop but the basic requirement remains same – the output image should be sharp and that the file size be well within a reasonable limit.

Now PNG, JPG and GIF are the three most popular image formats for sharing screen captures on the web. Of course there’s another format called BMP but people rarely use that for obvious reasons.

Text & Clipart – If you are capturing text (like a block of source code or Google search pages or a navigation menu), always use GIF or the PNG format – the screenshots are clear and file size remains pretty low.

Regular Desktop Windows – If you need to screen capture a regular window on your screen, dialog boxes, Windows Explorer, DOS command prompt window, Google Maps or even splash screens – use the PNG format.

The advantage with PNG is that it preserves all the colors and yield a much sharper output when compared with JPG. See this Photoshop splash screen for a comparison between JPEG and PNG quality.

Videos & Photographs – If you doing a still image screenshot of a video (YouTube Flash video player), Google Earth, video games, Flash animations, desktop wallpapers or photographs (like Flickr) – always go with JPG instead of PNG because the image file size would be smaller without much degradation in the quality.

To give you example, this Wall Strip video on YouTube would take around 92kb when saved in PNG format but that would fall to 20kb if we changed the format from PNG to JPG. Surprisingly, there isn’t any remarkable difference in quality.
