Just find out this trick from Chips Magazines. It’s very helpful to reinstall the Windows XP OS from USB. My Industrial PC don’t have CD-ROM, Floppy even the IDE slot. So now, I can reinstall it using my DTmini Thumb/Flash Drive.

 

How you can do that ?

1. Download and Run WinToFlash.

2. Follow the step by step from here.

3. Now you already have the bootable USB.

4. But before you format the PC, maybe you need to retrieve your current Windows XP product key. You can use this Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.

 

* Please make sure your USB-HDD are available at your BIOS.

Check Browser Compability

I had been informed by my client (also is my friend) that my web UI is not aligned properly when he opened from his old PC. I am thinking for a while and then realized that maybe it is a cross platform problem. 

Then yesterday, I went to his office and had a look on it by myself. I am surprise when I looking on it, it’s totally unaligned. He opened it using MSIE 6.0.  Yes, my assumption is correct.  It is a common issue in the web development.

Today, while reading a blog. I’d found a good tool to check the browser compability. It’s a web application tool and no need to install. What you need to do is, insert the url. Select what type of browser that you want to test and then click submit. This will generate the screenshots of your url that open in a different browser.

Below is some screen shot that I had did with my web.

Firefox 2.0

Internet Explorer 7.0

Internet Explorer 6.0

Just now, i had found some good web tools that give all the answer.  :) You can use it in myipneighbors.com.

I had been introduced by my colleague with a new kewl tool. Selenium IDE. It is a web testing tool and it is good for the web developer. What I need to do is just click a record button and start fill in my web form. After finish, then click stop and save my test case. Later, if I need to fill again the form, I just need to run the test case. It will repeat what had been record for me.
