    I always found it odd that there are actually quite excellent tools made by Microsoft to diagnose issues with Windows but failed to include it with Windows while offering them for free. What am I talking about you ask? I mean Windows Sysinternals. Or you can get the full package by getting Sysinternals Suite. Sysinternals…

    Two blogs in 1 day? Must be a miracle. Also seems like change of theme posts make a significant portion of this blog. xD This new theme is Montezuma By BytesForAll. Very clean and clear theme, something opposite from the previous which was a dark theme.

    tl;dr version at bottom.   A long time ago, when I pondered of good settings to allow large file uploads for PHP, I naturally searched Google. I blindly followed at the time. How could I have known better? There were millions of bad advices! But now I know better. And so in hopes to offset…

    Just installed grumpyland.com on a full SSD server. 😀 Loving the speed~~!   I kind of wonder why I write random stuff on a site no one reads… (except that VNC tutorial… maybe I should write more tutorials)

    Entire grumpyland.com is now in SSL. 😀 Why? Because it’s nicer.   And some additional security in backend that you probably won’t see…

    Over many years, I’ve had the experience with working with many ad agencies and ad networks that operate on the Internet such as Google Adsense, Value Click, adBrite, etc. Today, I figured I should write a review on one of them for once. ^^ I’ve used VCM for nearly a year now and it has…

    How to Install VNC on Centos 6 (VPS) Well, I usually don’t make these tutorials because there are often tons out there already available. However, I found the existing ones incomplete or inadequate to complete the task. So, this is meant to start from the very very fresh starting point. First, let’s install essentials to…

    The long delayed design for the website is here. And while at it, I’m ditching Mambo along with it. It’s heavy, it’s clunky and far more than what I need. To top things off, I really don’t feel like updating it. So, I’ve imported the blog posts on Mambo to this brand new and shiny…

    Hello! Well, anyone visiting this front page (grumpyland.com) probably didn’t notice. Some visiting certain subdomains certainly have. But I have moved some of my hosting from my previous hosting, Hostgator (which is still active and hosting several other sites) to this new Virpus. It’s a VPS running with full WHM/cPanel. 🙂 I hope everything goes…

    Well, I wrote in April that I’m going to be putting up a new layout/design for this website. It’s November now and it clearly hasn’t happened. What happened? Well, nothing happened. That’s why it’s not here. 😛 I did try to do it for a couple of hours, then lots of more fun things jumped…

    The current layout as we see now is from Sitegrounds as a free Mambo template. To be honest, I really hate it, but out of the available options, it was the best one in my opinion. Naturally, it was only going to be a temporary solution to the look and feel problem, but with lack…
