When we read books or articles in magazines, at the beginning or each chapter usually begins with the first letter in which have differently made typography from other letters. The first letter in the first paragraph can be a capital letter with a very large font size, style and different font type, which obviously looks interesting. This is called Drop Cap. In word processing applications like Microsoft Word, we simply insert a drop cap in our document just by pushing a button/menu. To make one on a web page, we can do so by using CSS.

Yahoo Mail Beta baru

Although it’s too late for me to find out if there is a brand new Yahoo! Mail Beta, but it okay to try it now. At first glance it looks faster, more intuitive, elegant, and neat. Yahoo! seems to integrate everything all-in-one in a single window of Yahoo Mail, like it’s competitor, GMail.

Options page (though rarely opened) previously opened and displayed in a new window,  but now it is displayed in the tab instantly (using AJAX of course) next to Inbox tab. Now, at least it seems more responsive.

To read the new features please see here, to try Yahoo Mail Beta, click here. If  you don’t like it, you can return to use old Yahoo Mail Classic or New anytime via the Help> Leave the Mail Preview.

From cases put forward by my students, the result-set given fromMySQL’s stored procedures is not accessible in PHP so that they using the functions instead of stored procedures, well actually we can access those result sets. There are two ways to access the result-set returned by the stored procedure, using a MySQL extension but specify client_flag to support multiple statements and multiple result or using the MySQLi extension.

Today I check this home page and my Twitter status is no longer displayed. This is because Twitter is no longer give permission to access directly the RSS of my status (user timeline), and also because I protect my tweets (for new tweets). Before this, I can fetch easily the status from the RSS URL address such below.

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[user name].rss

just calling function fetch_feed in WordPress (which uses SimplePie) and you’ll get it automatically parsed, so it is easy to reproduce the result of this RSS users timeline. But since Twitter now is using OAuth for authentication, so we need a little tinkering with code to fetch the Twitter user timeline.

I just know that in GMail there is setting to check and import email from other email providers (for instance Yahoo! Mail, let say this is secondary email) into your GMail  (lets say its primary email). So when you have incoming messages in the secondary email address then GMail automatically import those into your GMail inbox. The advantage is by using one GMail inbox we can check emails for more than one email address (other than GMail). In addition, for mail delivery, we can also use GMail to send, but the sender address is the secondary email address (Yahoo mail address) not the GMail address.
