How To Get The Old Facebook Chat Back!


      I'm pretty sure some of you might be a little frustrated using Facebook's new chat, what with it not showing your online friends and all. Here's a handy tutorial to (somewhat) get the friendlier Facebook chat back. It's not foolproof though, any future changes Facebook might make can break this method. I suggest an uninstall when that time comes.

You will need to install scripts in your browser. Currently, there are scripts for Firefox and Chrome.


Mozilla Firefox


     First up, you'll need Greasemonkey, it's an add-on that allows you to customise how you view webpages with bits of Javascript. Go and install Greasemoney.


Click Add to Firefox and click Install at the pop-up.

Now that Greasemoney is installed, go ahead and and install the Facebook Sidebar Chat Reversion script. Go and install it now.



After installing it, close your Facebook tab and reopen. Tada! Hello old Facebook chat! If it doesn't show, clear your cache files and try again. Also, if you ever feel the need to use the New Facebook Chat, just remove the script from Greasemonkey.





Google Chrome

     In Google Chrome, it's slightly easier. All you have to do is go to the script page and click on Install.



A pop-up will appear. Just click on install.


After installing it, close your Facebook tab and reopen. Tada! Hello (again) old Facebook chat! If it doesn't show, clear your cache files and try again. Also, if you ever feel the need to use the New Facebook Chat, just remove the script.


There you go. Now you can continue on using Facebook as you please.

Ten Million Facebook Friendships Are Absolutely Stunning


     Paul, an intern for Facebook's data infrastructure engineering team, recently took a sample of ten million pairs of friends from Facebook's data warehouse and combined that data with each user's current city and summed the number of friends between each pair of cities. After that, he merged the data with the longitude and latitude of each city. The result of his little "experiment" turned out to be an incredibly stunning map of the world. You can see Malaysia too.

SMS Language = Noobs

    Lately I've been busy. Yes. Very busy. So busy that breathing has become a difficult task to complete. I've coded a program in Javascript to remind me to inhale and exhale.

     I'm kidding. Sort of. Actually, I have been a bit busy but the reason why I haven't updated in a while is because I'm lazy. So what? You guys aren't paying me money anyway. I'm just joking. Don't take that seriously xD. So, lately I've been occupying myself with learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. Yeah, I figured that being a web designer would be a pretty cool to thing. I've even got myself some free hosting. I'm finished with HTML and CSS and now I'm gonna learn Javascript

Optical Illusions FTW!

   Optical illusions are visual images that differs from reality. They work by causing our brain to perceive that the image doesn't make sense. I'm intrigued by optical illusions because they are awesome. But of course, when you try to find these images on the internet, most likely you'll be greeted by a creepy face with sound effects that can make your heart jump out and run away from you. (this is currently the case with videos on facebook. I do not trust alot of videos that my "friends" post on their wall ><) Recently I found a great website by Michael Bach where he hosts a variety of optical illusions. The link is http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/. So go check it out!
