CakePHP 1.3 default file extension for the views template are in .ctp

If you open up .ctp files with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, you will noticed that all the codes are in black and white. To make Dreamweaver show the color syntax of PHP & HTML in .ctp files, do the following:

- Navigate to Dreamweaver CS4 Installation folder/configuration/DocumentTypes
- Open up MMDocumentTypes.xml

Search for:

1

winfileextension="php,php3,php4,php5"

Replace with:

1

winfileextension="php,php3,php4,php5,ctp"

Restart your Dreamweaver CS4 if it is running. Open up again and you will notice that .ctp files now has the same color syntax as .php files.

Free Window Registry Repair is a refreshingly simple tool for cleaning up your Windows Registry. It lacks the bells and whistles offered by some programs–such as special features for uninstalling programs or managing the Start menu–but thankfully so. This is a program that does something well and doesn’t stray from that success. – From CNET editor’s review

Some screen-shot of using Free Windows Registry Repair:

I personally find that this is better than CCleaner in term of repairing Windows registry as sometimes, CCleaner does not detect any Windows registry errors. Free Window Registry Repair is more thorough in checking errors as well as repairing it.

Some of you might want to rip your favorite DVD movie out after borrowing it from your friend or renting from shop. But the problem is, after you spend so much time ripping the movie out, the movie tends not to play well in your player. There are glitter effects and distort images.

Well, this is because the DVD is copyrighted and protected by CSS (Content Scrambling System). CSS is an encryption method used in commercial DVD production to prevent DVD data from being copied. The sole purpose of the CSS is to protect copyrights by preventing the pirating of DVDs.

Nevertheless, we can make use of DVD Decrypter, which is absolutely free-of-charge, to DeCSS (De-Content Scrambling System). DeCSS is an algorithm that can be used to decrypt a commercially-produced DVD, allowing it to be unlocked then copied. Henceforth, you will be able to rip the movie out and play it without any “funny” effects.

A screen-shot of a movie being decrypt using DVD Decrypter:

Enjoy!

If you have used Google Chrome, you would have understand how Chrome theme works. In Google Chrome, you install a theme without having to restart your browser.

However, all the fonts, navigation icons and so on of the browser will still remains the same. This provides a hassle-proof installation of chrome theme at your fingertips, changing as and when you like.

In Mozilla Firefox, you might have thought that we still need to install the theme, and restart our browser. But now, Firefox has something new called, “Personas for Firefox“.

A screen-shot of how a Hatsune Miku personas looks on my firefox:

You can wear the personas as and when you like. Just like chrome theme, you can switch personas easily without having to restart firefox. And if you wondering what’s the difference between these 2, take a look at difference between firefox theme and firefox personas.
