It's quite interesting to click through my blog roll list.

Hello? You guys still alive?

Not long ago, a friend asked me to assist on installing webcam on his new laptop and make it work with Skype.

In a few minutes, I had the hardware and driver installed properly, made the webcam working in software that came with the webcam, but failed to see the webcam listed in Skype options > Video > Select webcam. I thought getting the latest version would help. It didn't.

Finally, the solution was to install DirectX. Get DirectX from Microsoft DirectX website (or alternative DirectX download site). Install it and you will see the webcam listed in Skype.

I found quite a number of people having the same problem when I was searching for solution. Hope this post would work for the people out there.

Just turned on comments on my blog with this SQL:

UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status="open"

Then, installed Spam Karma 2.3 plugin and see how useful it is.

I did not spend time to research on Spam Karma. Do comment if you have settings recommendation to improve its performance.

I would say it's a nice deal.

By the way, this site has been dead for months. Still considering whether to get it revived or not.
