Blogger VS Wordpress

Images from iconfinder.com

One reason to stay in Blogger community is about monetary matters. If you aim for free blogs/ sites/ online presence with good - looking pages (not just a page, but really good - looking pages), then BLOGGER is your best shot. I have tried wordpress and I didn't like their theme update rule because, primarily, I'm broke. In wordpress, you have to buy the domain first to upload a custom theme that you made or downloaded. Since I cannot afford this kind of treatment and settings, I deleted all my blogs there. I cannot stand to edit the CSS, though I could, it will take time. Blogger, on the other hand, is where you can freely manipulate the layout of your blog. This is what FREE is all about.

Emergency Load from Smart (SOS Emergency Smart Call)

 

I found out that SMART Communications offers a feature that you may use if you need an emergency load while reading Smart Extraordinary Featured Story this day. This feature is called SOS Emergency Smart Call. I wonder why they didn't advertise this when it's very helpful in many circumstances. As the name suggests itself, you may do an emergency call to SMART when you ran out of load The call will end in an instant and you'll be able to receive a text message from Smart telling you that you've been loaded with 4 pesos. Sadly, you cannot choose the amount to load, it's just 4 pesos, but, hey, if you really need a load and there's no where else to find one, this will be more than enough. The amount will be deducted from you the next time you buy electronic load for your number. :)

I repeat, call *767 from your SMART phones and you'll be loaded with FOUR (4) pesos.

How to maximize frame or window in Java (JFrame)

There are multiple ways but I recommend these lines of code:
        GraphicsEnvironment e = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        Frame fr= new Frame();
        fr.setMaximizedBounds(e.getMaximumWindowBounds());
        fr.setExtendedState(main.getExtendedState() | JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
        fr.setVisible(true);

The code above will maximize your frame/window without hiding the taskbar (at the bottom part) in your screen except if you used undecorated frame. Any maximizing will hide your taskbar. This is according to my own experience but if you found ways to against it, please post it as  a comment. Thanks :)
