Disable Certificate Error Report in IE7

Internet Explorer 7 is saying "Certificate error: navigation blocked". This means that, although the secure server certificate is encrypting data correctly, IE7 cannot verify the domain name. That is because there is not a SSL certificate for your particular domain name.

This does not indicate a problem with the website or control panel. This could be more acurately described as a fault with Internet Explorer being a little overly paranoid on your behalf.

Your choice is to either click that you want to navigate the site anyhow, or permanently disable the warning.

If you would like to permanently disable the warning error, go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu and select Internet Options, Advanced tab. Scroll down to the bottom (under Security) and disable/uncheck "Warn about certificate address mismatch".

Knowledge Sharing in Software Development

Have you ever tried the Wiki for knowledge sharing in project? Have you recognized the value of knowledge sharing?

I know some of you tend to resist sharing your knowledge with the rest of the organization, some of you don’t know what to write, it’s because of the system and blah blah blah. Just stop blaming on the system, we should change our mindset and our behavior in using the tools.

Here is some practices for sharing

• Knowledge is from project.
• Each project must have trouble, issue, development tips & tricks, environment setup, this is the knowledge – (as I have seen in some projects, the development environment is kept inside developer’s mind, when newcomer come to the project, at least 1 dev will sit with him for setting up the environment)
• We’re not master, but when facing the problem we should be, this is where knowledge come from.
• You’re in the project so it definitely that you’ll have some knowledge to share otherwise you look like a “chess man” in project.
  

Will you try out the Wiki? Some wiki you might be interested in

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a social network which allow you to set your status on your activities

You can't really understand Twitter unless you actually do it (which might explain why I don't really understand Twitter.)

The benefit of Twitter is "social proprioception":

When I see that my friend Misha is "waiting at Genius Bar to send my MacBook to the shop," that's not much information. But when I get such granular updates every day for a month, I know a lot more about her. And when my four closest friends and worldmates send me dozens of updates a week for five months, I begin to develop an almost telepathic awareness of the people most important to me.

It's like proprioception, your body's ability to know where your limbs are. That subliminal sense of orientation is crucial for coordination: It keeps you from accidentally bumping into objects, and it makes possible amazing feats of balance and dexterity.

Twitter and other constant-contact media create social proprioception. They give a group of people a sense of itself, making possible weird, fascinating feats of coordination."

Sound interesting? It should have more :-)

A view of software engineering

It's so cool :-)

How To Compile C Code Analysis (CCA)

CCA is an analysis toolkit for analyzing C source code. The following show you how to compile CCA on Windows.
Prerequisite

• Cygwin: gcc, ocaml, make
  

To Compile open Cygwin bash shell and run following command

cd cil
./configure
make
make quicktest

You might need to edit the Makefile.cil to remove the following lines (at line 259)

$(ECHO)#if test $(OBJDIR) != $(<D) -a -f $(OBJDIR)/$(basename $(<F)).cmi ;then \

$(COMMAND) mv -f $(OBJDIR)/$(basename $(<F)).cmi $(<D); \

mv -f $(OBJDIR)/$(basename $(<F)).cmi $(<D); \

How To Create DirectX (.X) file

Using Tools

• Get yourself a program named TrueSpace or Milkshape, which can export Models into this format (and create them)
• Get a Plug in for any other 3D modeler (Maya Plugin and others are included with the DirectX9 SDK)
• Create 3DS Files using almost Any Modeler (3DS is more or less a standard format) and use the Program supplied with the SDK to convert it into .X format
• Open the File in WordPad and u can create/modify them, since they are not stored in any compressed/unreadable format (although for this u need to know how the file is build)
  

Programmatically

1. Create the mesh
   

   D3DXCreateMeshFVF(...)

2. Lock the vertex buffer and copy your vertices into it
   

   outMesh->LockVertexBuffer(...)

3. Lock the index bufer and copy indices into it
   

   outMesh->LockIndexBuffer(...)

4. Save it to a file
   

   D3DXSaveMeshToX(...)

Collaborative Development Environment at GCS

Collaboration is an element of every engineering domain. In software development, collaboration is very helpful and a powerful weapon for improving quality; how we communicate, how we share knowledge among team, how we keep understanding each other, it all depends on collaboration.

Today, we use many tools to support the collaboration such as email, instant messaging, chat rooms, discussion groups, and Wikis… Collaboration among teams is already facilitated through the use of an increasing number of features embedded in standard desktop products such as office suites, where there is ample support for shared document reviews, distribution of documents among teams, and mechanisms for performing common collaborative tasks. In a very practical sense these tools provide the baseline of collaboration functionality for today’s software developers.

At Global CyberSoft (GCS) we have CDE and more than CDE, it is Collaborative Development and Management Environment (CDME) hehehe , so why not join GCS to have an interesting software engineering career (without code like a )
