Today i learned about centering a fixed/absolute positioned div using simple browser hack. This is useful when you want to display a loading callback during ajax calls. It works in my Firefox 3.6.27, IE9, Opera 11.61, Chrome 18.0, & Safari.

#busy-indicator {
    background: #FFFFFF;
    border: 3px solid #B9D4F2;
    color: #B9D4F2;
    height: 40px;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -30px;
    margin-top: -30px;
    padding: 5px;
    position: fixed;
    text-align: center;
    top: 50%;
    width: 60px;
    z-index: 200;
}

This is how it works,
center vertically:
set top: 50% and margin-top: -height/2

center horizontally:
set left: 50% and margin-left: -width/2
or
set right: 50% and margin-right: -width/2

What you’ll need to set up your wireless network?

• An operating system that supports wireless networking
  Windows 7 operating system fully supports wireless networking. A specific service pack of Windows Vista and Windows XP is recommended by Microsoft as stated here. In this article I am used Windows 7.
• A broadband (DSL or cable) Internet connection (including smartbro prepaid or globe tattoo prepaid modem)
  Again, I used my smartbro prepaid modem. (Suggestions: if you are also using smartbro prepaid, you better subscribe to unlimited surf promo. You can avail the UNLISURF 50 and send it to 2200 for unlimited 1 day.)
• A computer with built-in wireless networking support or a wireless network adapter
  If you have newer laptop/desktop, you may already have built-in wireless capabilities. If this is the case, you don’t need a wireless network adapter. To check whether your computer has a wireless support installed or not:

  Click Start → Control Panel → Device Manager, expand Network Adapters. If you see any of these words listed, “Wireless,” “WLAN,” “Wi-Fi,” “802.11a,” “802.11b,” “802.11g,” or “802.11n,” your computer has wireless capability installed.

  

Setup Ad-Hoc Network using Connectify Lite

Step 1: Download and install Connectify Lite Installer – this application is a freeware. In case, you may be prompted for problem with your operating system during installation. Please continue and ignore error regarding service pack. The installation requires a reboot.

Step 2: Run your modem. Make sure you can access the internet.

Step 3: For successful installation, run Connectify. You will see something like this:

Input the desired name of your Hotspot name/network name. In my case, Connectify-centurybrains.
If you are connected to the internet connectify will automatically detects your modem and will be listed in Internet to Share select box, please select your modem. As you can see below it automatically detect my smartbro modem.
In the advance settings set Share Over select box to Wi-Fi, and Sharing Mode to Wi-Fi, Access Point, Encrypted (WPA2) (recommended) respectively. Fill-up your password. Start broadcasting by clicking Clickstart Hotspot. You should see something like this.

Step 4: In your samsung galaxy y device, navigate to settings → wireless and network settings → wifi-settings. Turn it on and you should see the SSID that you’ve created. Connect to the network by submitting your password.

Please note that, you can monitor devices connected to your network in Clients Tab. This setup is not just applicable to android device but also to any wireless devices as well as most of the internet modem.

Anyway, if you just play games once in a while with this phone i have listed a good games here. Some are HD and 3D games that worked nicely. I have installed these games on my phone with default on everything (not rooted).

Note: links are from youtube for you to watch the game before you download.

Crusade of Destiny

is a nice 3D role playing game (RPG). This is the first game on my phone that i had completed. The story line and quests are excellent. You’ll notice most of the time when you are in a town the graphics of your character is distorted (but minimal). You can also use and assign skills, wear armor and use potions.

Zenonia 3

is an action role-playing game created, developed, and published by Gamevil. This game is FREE and I really recommend this one. At first i don’t like it but after i started the story i’m stuck with this game. The maximum level of your character is 99. You can find different drop items that can be upgraded, inserted with attribute stones. You can also make an item by collecting recipes. I’ve already finished the story of my first character assassin and now i am back to the game with my Sword Knight.

Dungeon Hunter 1

a popular HD role playing game for smartphone. Choose from three different characters, quests, dungeons, variety of armors, skills etc. What we did was after we install the game we manually transfer the data folder from installation folder of my friend’s phone to mine for the sake of testing and it works.

Emissary of War

3D Action RPG style gameplay! Very nice graphics and feel. The story too is great!

X Construction

Build a bridge with the given amount of materials to let the train safely cross the valley. We’ve been addicted to this game recently. Be an engineer and design your own bridge.

Heavy Gunner

GT Racing

HD game for racers. For this game to work you have to rename the intro video which cause an error pop-up when opening. Just click the button and race.
