You can actually download a full Google Chrome installer from the Google web site if you need to. Just in case you are installing on a PC without an Internet connection on bandwidth restrictions.
This is the download link.
Todo Lists
I’ve found two great applications for tracking my todo lists:
Out of the two, my preference is GeeTeeDee (I started by using Wunderlist). The thing I like better about GeeTeeDee is that it has a better interface for managing notes associated with a task. Wunderlist has a neat syncing feature allowing you to keep your lists synchronized between devices. However, you can achieve the same with GeeTeeDee through DropBox as it is a portable application.

FireCookie
FireCookie is a great add on to FireBug (Firefox Web Development / Debugging Software). When installed it adds another panel to Firebug that allows you to view and edit all the cookies associated with the current site/session. You can also use it to create a cookie.

CodeIgniter combine anchor and img
CodeIgniter offers an anchor function in the URL helper and an img function in the HTML helper. You can combine the two of these together if you want to have an image with a hyperlink. For example, your logo which takes you back to the home page.
To do this, pass the result of the img function to the second parameter (text) of the anchor like so:
echo anchor('http://www.praj.com.au', img('http://ww.praj.com.au/logo.png'));
This will generate the following HTML:
Remember to change your stylesheet so that the img element has a border of 0 so you don’t get a border around your image from the hyperlink.

Default Media Player
If you have a multimedia keyboard, then there is usually a button that launches your media player. By default, this launches Windows Media Player. However, if you use something else, like Media Jukebox, then you’ll want to change this.
There are two steps.
- Associate the .mp3 (and other file types you play) with your media player. Make sure you do this at the Windows layer (not through the application). You can do this a number of ways, e.g. Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program, or by right clicking on an mp3 file and using Open With to pick the program you want to open it with and making sure that the Always use this program check box is set.
- In the registry, you’ll need to set the association file type for your multimedia key. Open regedit and browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\AppKey
Open the key 16 which is for your media player key. The association by default is .cda. Edit this to .mp3.
