Anyway, practice makes perfect.

P/s - I don't mind people correcting my English. So, what r u waiting for?

Another Tips form Mdm Dilla - Reading Journals

Mdm Dilla said,

1- Read with a purpose in mind.

i.e What are you actually looking for? To understand the theory? To find out the method that paper is investigating? To find out whether that paper backs up/ againts your hypothesis? For a start, it is great if you write down the purpose of your reading. Put it in front of you so your mind won't wander off.

2- Skim through before you actually read it.

You may find that the paper is not worth your reading time, or you can just pick and choose the section that really matters to you. OR if the paper is really superb (like it is a masterpiece in the field), you may want to read the whole paper.

How To Capture Scenes From TV Series With GOM Player

Since Mdm Dilla asked me to teach her how to capture scenes from tv series, I think it is better for me to do the tutorial instead of explaining just with words. Hehe! No worries. It's easy!

STEP 1

You need to download the GOM player of course. GOM player is a free software. You can download it here (credit to download.com). It is a very good multimedia player. I even set it as my default player for my computer. After downloaded it, install and try to run it.

STEP 2

After you run the player, right click, go to Video> Advance Screen Capture.



STEP 3

A new window will pop out. In this window, you can see the setting for the output (the scenes that you already captured) and also other option for 'capture'. Change the directory according to your preference. In my opinion, it is always easier to just set the output file to the 'desktop'. It will be easier for you to find the file there.

STEP 4

The setting is actually already complete. You can just hit the 'CTRL + E' button to any scene that you want to capture. The output will be at the directory that you set for the previous step.

STEP 5

There is also another option instead of hitting the 'CTRL' and 'E' button simultaneously.

What you can do is that, right click on the player. Go to Preference>Keyboard>Add. Another window will pop out. At the 'Command', search for 'CAPTURE_Save Current Screen'. Then, add a short key.

There are 5 short keys available, SPACE, ENTER, BACKSPACE, ESC and TAB. In my opinion, it is better to choose either BACKSPACE or TAB because the ENTER button already been set to enlarge the screen of the window, the SPACE button is use to pause and play the media and ESC is use to close the player. Personally, I choosed BACKSPACE for my 'Capture' button.

Ok, that's all. Do not forget to try ya!



Additional info - How To Capture the Current Screen With Subtitle?

STEP 1

Firstly of course you need to download the subtitle first. There are a lot of subtitle's websites on the net and after exploring most of the subtitle's websites, I think that tvsubtitles.net has the complete database of subtitles ever.

STEP 2

After you downloaded the sub, try to open it with a notepad. You will see all the script in the notepad.

STEP 3

Next, rename your subtitle's file with the same name with your media file (becareful not to change the extension of the subtiles. The default extension is '.srt').


STEP 4

Then, play your media file with GOM Player. Walla! The subtitles is embeded with your media file. If you want to be more advance, you can change the setting for the subtitle. Simply right click on the player, go to Preferences>Subtitles. There you can actually change the font or the color of the subtitles.

Ok, I think that's all for now. Again, don't hesitate to try ya. Ta! TTFN!

Fancy To Smile?

Some people asked me, where did I get all the cute smileys in the shoutbox?

Now (as I promised to Miss Ricca), I will try my very best to teach you guys how to do it. It is very easy!

STEP 1:

For those who don't have the shoutbox yet, you need to download it first. There are two commonly used shoutboxs, Cbox and Shoutmix (click the name to go to the respective website). FYI, I'm using both since I have two blogs and in my opinion, I think that Cbox is better than Shoutmix because it allows you to add the customizable smileys as many as you want while Shoutmix allows ten smileys only . Okeh, after you get the codes, you can proceed to STEP 2.

STEP 2:

If you are using Shoumix, log in and go to "Display". Choose "Smileys" as in the figure.



For Cbox user, go to "Options" and select "Smileys".


STEP 3:

Go to www.anikaos.com. This website provides hundreds of smileys that you need.


Choose any gif smileys that you want. Right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location" for Mozilla Firefox or "Copy Shortcut" if you are using Internet Explorer.





STEP 4:

Paste the link on the space provided as in the images below:



Don't forget to fill in the "Code" column. Just write any word that describe the smileys. E.g. "Happy".

STEP 5:

Repeat STEP 3 and 4 for as many as you want (if you are using Cbox). For Shoutmix user, you can only add 10 customizable smileys.

Save the settings and walla, you already have cute smileys in your shoutbox.

Don't forget give it a try!!

Ta!
