BNI Dynamic Chapter - LT Meeting - 29 Nov 2012

Venue: J&S Soft Furnishing - Lissie's shop

Date Time: 29 Nov 2012 6.30pm

Absent: MC Gary Khoo, NEC Tuah Kee

Dinner: 大排档

Topics:

We noticed that our no. of referrals is dropping. For Nov, the average is only 1.08. Hence, we have to think of the ways to improve the referrals among members. One of the ways is to encourage 1-to-1 Dance among members (Josiah's idea). In fact, before this LT meeting, we have prepared the schedule for dance. Hence, we decided to start this asap. And, Leong suggested to do dance right after the chapter meeting. Besides, YM will be conduct an NEC topic related to DANCE.

Network Leaders of the November:

1. Most Referrals - KMC
2. Most Visitors - Gary Khoo

NEC Topics:

1. 4 Dec 2012 Dance - YM
2. 11 Dec 2012 VCP - Alex
3. 18 Dec 2012 Transactional vs Relational Referral - Tuah Kee
4. 27 Dec 2012 Joint Meeting with Bistari Chapter

Here are the tasks to be carried out:

1. Alex to follow up with Goh for his 10-min preparation. Goh will be presenting his 10-min on 11 Dec 2012.
2. Alex to inform Gary Khoo that some of the attendance records are incorrect. 
3. Alex to inform Gary Khoo to release the 1-to-1 Dance Table to LT members, so that we can start the dance. LT has agreed to carry out dance right after the meeting.

BNI 60sec - Subdomain

Ok, decided to record down my 60-sec here and have a review after some times. Now, I'm around 1yr 3months old at BNI. Really picked up alot of knowledge from members. Lucky I m here~~

Tomorrow/today, I m going to use this as my 60-sec sales person presentation:

Good Morning, members.

Have you come across this kind of signboard before? Instead of the actual company name, you will remember the Continental Tyre. Even the shop owner will help to promote the signboard... "After the traffic light, you can see a BIGGGG Continental Tyre. That's my shop...". After 10 years, still no one know about Heng Long Tayar Servis...

This is similar to subdomain. When we have a website namedd as abc.YAHOO.com, we're going to make Yahoo more popular. At the end of the day, no one know about the company. This is contradict with the purpose of creating website. You build a website, but no one knows you. So, as a web developer, i ll give a big NO to subdomain.

Member, pls help me catch this group of ppl who is using subdomain... When you hear ppl around you saying that they have a website and no need a single cent for renewal, they are 100% using subdomain. Help me RAMPAS their namecard, and tell them to see me immediately.

We never do website. We do only effective website.

Thanks.

Ok, is time to rest. It is 1.30am, and I gonna wake up at 5.30am. :)

ASP.NET AJAX > YOU"RE DRIVING ME CRAZY~~

Now rushing for project. No time to write a long story, just wanna keep a record for future reference.

Don't use <xhtmlconformance mode="Legacy">with ASP.NET AJAX.

heart dropped...

Think we all really need to sit down and discuss about this matter “Everybody busy”.

Actually I always think that we are helping each other. That’s why I never hesitate to request for your help.
Some more I was thinking to bring u into web biz; so I try to get more chances for u to get involved, to liaise with our clients.
Sorry that I didn’t realize that you are stuck with many tasks.
Just thinking abt the sales, and hope to invoice GP, and also clear PSNR earlier.

Frankly, this sentence “I got many many many technical jobs need to do” really stays in my heart since I received ur email, till now.
Just like when it is green light, but u forgot to let go the handbrake… everything halted… shocked & heart dropped…
he busy, u busy, me helpless during daytime… sigh :( oh~~ no~~

Anyway, if i m really bossy, I apologize.
Let’s look at the good side, and fight fight fight!!! We can make it!!!

Preserve Textarea Linebreak

Read in the forum regarding "how to preserve textarea linebreak" in PHP... I'm not a PHP programmer, I'm not sure. So.... searching online & found this method: nl2br()

I tried it out, and it is quite simple.

Have zipped it up for future reference~~ Might be useful.

oops...the previous script cannot handle DOUBLE QUOTE & SINGLE QUOTE.
Have added stripslashes() in order to cope for double quote & single quote.
Instead of nl2br(), we shd use nl2br(stripslashes($strText1)).

Auto iFrame Height

How can we detect the content (page) of iFrame, and set the height of the iFrame???
Take a look on this. It is pretty simple.

Anyway, few things to take note:
1. Parent page & child page must in from the same domain.
2. Must add the [class="autoHeight"] for the iFrame. *autoHeight.js will be checking on the existence of this class before resizing the height.

Already zip it here...

Backup/RestoreMySQL thru command

Below are mysqldump commands for backup and restore mysql database:

WINDOWS:
Backup:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqldump --opt --user=username --password database > dumbfile.sql

Restore:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql --user=username --password database < dumpfile.sql


UNIX / LINUX (never try this before...)
Backup:
mysqldump --opt --user=username --password database > dumbfile.sql

Restore:
mysqldump --opt --user=username --password database < dumbfile.sql

Notes:
- dumbfile.sql contains SQL command for creating tables and data. (CREATE,INSERT,DROP etc.)
