Online Vietnamese Keyboard

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

If you ever want to type in Vietnamese and the system you’re using doesn’t has Vietnamese keyboard suppport, try this online Vietnamese keyboard. To use it, type your text then copy and paste it over whatever application you’re working on. The Javascript just bascially filter some assigned keys and convert them to Vietnamese characters using Unicode. It’s a pure and simple tool to get Vietnamese characters into any application. All thanks to the popularity of UTF-8 encoding and Unicode. I tested the Javascript on IE, Netscape, and Firefox browsers and it works fine.
Try out the VietCali’s Online Vietnamese Keyboard.

System hang with blinking cursor

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Good to be back and post some computer tip to VietCali.com. This time I want to share with you a fix to a computer problem I ran into last week: a corrupted MBR or Mater Boot Record. The symptom on my case is the system no longer boots into WinXp. All I see is blinking cursor on upper left conner of the monitor. How do I know it’s corrupted MBR? Because I can boot the system from bootable USB so there is something wrong with my hard drive boot sequence and it only point to MBR. So if your system suddenly blinking on you, just try to fix the MBR on your hard drive. How?
1. Put the Windows XP installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted to boot up from CD.
3. Press “R” to start Recovery Console.
4. Enter your Administrator password.
5. At the input prompt, type FIXMBR and confirm with Y
6. Choose EXIT to reboot the system.
7. Remove the CD, and the system should now boots WinXp normally. No more blinking cursor on my case.
