If you’re trying to copy a large file to a destination drive, say, a USB drive and keep getting an error saying that the file is larger than the destination file system despite having enough or larger space then this can help you solve the problem. Usually USB drives are FAT32 with max file size of 4GB, if you’re copying large files (like movies) more than 4GB then you may want to convert your drive to NTFS which has a larger file size limit. See differences of file systems here. To convert your drive to a different file system without losing any data or need to format your drive you only need to use this simple command. Go to Start > Run > then type cmd to open the command line. Type:

convert <drive_letter>:/fs:ntfs

Here’s an example screenshot when I converted my USB drive’s file system, g is the drive letter in this case:

Once conversion is completed just exit the command line and proceed copying your file(s), you should be able to copy large files by then.

Food for thought, PHP automatically converts dots (‘.’) with underscores (‘_’) on GET or POST (or REQUEST) variables.

// sample url using GET: page.php?foo.bar=value
print_r($_GET);
 
// output:
// variable "foo.bar" becomes "foo_bar"
// array([foo_bar] => value)
echo $_GET['foo_bar']; // prints "value"

The news feed of Facebook these days is more like spam feeds cause of gazillion games, apps, and friend updates. Recently I noticed people are just crazy over the “Share” button. Posting just anything and I mean anything. Be it a personal problem, complaints, being stressed, etc. It’s okay to share what you feel or if you’re going through something but I think there should be a limitation for it. It’s okay to seek sympathy from others but there are times that we have to keep it to ourselves cause some things are not really worth other people’s time. So anyways, if some people are big fans of the “Share” button which they like to press every now and then, I also have a feature that I really like and thankful to Facebook that they have. It’s the “Hide” button. Most people knew about this already and I’ve been using it for a while now. Just today I was reading the news feed and find some posts that are spammish so once again I pressed the “x” button next to my friend’s name and poof, gone!

I have lost count how many friends I’ve hidden in the past which are mostly hidden cause of their spam posts of their daily problems and complaints which I really don’t care about. I checked and counted the names and wow I already hidden exactly 80 of my friends out of 244. Sorry guys, I don’t want to remove you in my list but your posts are just…. too much.

Look at the scroll bar in my hidden friends box, there’s just too many of them hidden >:)

Finally I can sleep more and will sleep more! Last week we had a crazy schedule and been busier than ever. No time to visit social networks and no time to blog. No time to watch TV and no time to text people, even just to say Hi. Daily routine is to take a nap, eat (snacks), take a bath, and then go back to work. I remember only eating once a day because I’m so sleepy that when I got home all I want is sleep. Really some ass-busting week for us. It was good, we get to finish what we need but it’s just a start. More work coming up! Ok, I have to sleep.
