4 Comments Create video playlist on iPod Touch

by Caty at 1:34 pm Posted in Reviews

I am playing with my iPod Touch for a while and notice that I cannot add videos to a playlist as what it can be done on music. When I do a search in google and found that it is rather a known problem. iPod Touch users will understand the frustration that every time it finishes playing a video, you have to manually click to the next one to play, no continuous play option, no grouping of a favorites list…

Well, I decided not to give up and try to find an alternative to add a video playlist again. And after much effort of trying, including accidentally deleted my whole iPod contents, I manage to add video playlists successfully from now onwards. Below are the detail steps of how to do it, well, quite some works but I guess it does pay off when come to enjoy the continuous video playing(or even shuffle)on my iPod Touch later.

Step 1: you need to set up iTunes to automatically sync with the iPod. In my case, I still wish to have some control over the “Fully automatic sync”, hence under the main option page, I tick the checkbox of “Sync only checked songs and videos. See snapshot below.

2 Comments Zen Cart vs osCommerce

by Caty at 7:09 pm Posted in Design, Reviews

I am currently working on Zen Cart projects and thought of leaving some views after working on several osCommerce designs before. This review is solely based on the view point of a designer regarding the template systems on both e-commerce softwares. So which is better, Zen cart or osCommerce?

Talking about the dreaded “Table” coding, Zen cart has moved away from this since version 1.3.5(well - nearly table-less layout). osCommerce is table-based and codes are pretty messy(to me) where I had to mix around with table and css based div.

Another feature that I like is the template overrides system in Zen cart: you can customize your cart by creating your own custom template folder instead of writing to the default templates and thus any future upgrades will not overwrite the customized theme design. See snapshot below.

by Caty at 12:37 pm Posted in Personal, Reviews

Here is another review of the online shops where I have bought my tokidoki items from. The review was based on my personal experiences during the whole shopping process till I received my items.

Karmaloop: Bought “The Sushi Adios & Ciao Ciao T-Shirt” and “The True Love Ciao Ciao & Adios Z/U Hoody” here(see pictures below).

The Hoody already has 28% savings on it. On top of that you can use this discount code: CG23109 to get a 20% off of your first purchase at Karmaloop and 10% off of every other purchase. This coupon code will never expires! Further more the 20% discount is applicable even with the already discounted sale items. However, take note that if your rep code is used with another promo code, the discount amount will only be 1%.

use code CG23109 to get 20% off at Karmaloop.com

This shop processed the order very fast. The shipping took only 2 days via DHL ground, it is the fastest among all the 5 shops.

4 Comments ZoneAlarm Nightmare

by Caty at 10:30 am Posted in News & Update, Reviews

I have encountered a bad experience with the update of ZoneAlarm on 21st Jan, this was a total disaster and thought of sharing with all here in case anyone has run into this situation.

As usual the ZoneAlarm has informed me about the latest update of build 70_462_000, I have in fact having trouble to update it since the build of 70_362_000. Every time it hung my system after the installation and I have to boot up to safe mode to uninstall it. I had to revert back to the older version every time this happen. Therefore after build number 70_362_000, I have decided to give this a halt and wait for next new update. And there it was, the latest 70_462_000. That was the day where my nightmare has begun.
