Google Friend Connect not working? Here's a solution!

Is Google Friend Connect being a brat lately? I know, it frustrates me too.

Well here's one of the possible solutions that can solve Google Friend Connect's disappearing act these days.

I found this code while reading the help forum in Google and it worked as soon as I inserted it into my template.

HOW TO:

Copy the script below and paste it under the <head> tag of your template then save.

<script>

window.JSON = {

parse: function(st){

return st.evalJSON();

},

stringify: function(obj){

return Object.toJSON(obj);

}

};

</script>

Viola! There's your Google Friend Connect.

I think we just broke the magician's code. Thanks to this wonderful script.

gene + experiments in paid domain

5 comments:

Today marks the day that I launched my new domain. Doesn't look like there's a big difference but there will be in the near future. Especially now that I'm making an effort in making money online. If you'll look closely on the address bar, the old link is redirected to .com domain.

I think my blog of 3 years (turning 4 this year) deserves some lovin' and I'm showing my appreciation by buying it a domain. It's a big step for me but it's my thank you for the income I earned from this blog last month. And thanks to the helpful tutorial from JustAnotherPixel that solidified my decision to buy a domain.

If you are a Blogger user, visit JustAnotherPixel's site to learn how to setup domain with Moniker. I was planning on buying from GoDaddy but Moniker's price is cheaper by a few dollars so I took advantage of it. You might want to register using her affiliate link in Moniker to serve as our thank you for her help.

After you are done with your domain setup, you might want to wait for a few minutes to a few hours before it's fully operational and good to park on your blog. It only took a few minutes in this domain.

Here's how to park your domain in Blogger.

Una's Christening Invitation

2 comments:

In my family, looking for a printing press when making an invitation is not an option. We have a lot of resources available online and definitely a lot of inspiration to perfectly match your style. Once we have confirmed Una's Christening date, I already had the perfect invitation in mind. I was once browsing the web for inspiration and I stumbled upon Moralia's Weblog. She made a diaper card for her scrapbook and I definitely love the idea. I do not have her diaper template so I searched for other diaper templates that are available for free. Lucky me, I found two sites generous enough to share these templates. The first one is perfect for Baby Showers while the second one is just the one I'm looking for. I found it in ScrapJazz though the poster said the template originated from Martha Stewart's site (not sure which one).

Envelope. These are printed 8 X 13 colored cardstock, cut through the lines, folded and glued to seal it off. Originally planned to use safety pins to fasten it off but didn't work as well as my inspiration.

Invitation. The invitation consists of 3 pages back to back. That maybe a lot and I mean a lot especially when you cut each one manually but the end product is definitely worth it. The first page consists of the Christening details while the back has the names of Godparents.

The second page is all about Una's birth details.

While the third page comes with a map and directions are made with MS Office Visio.

Give-away tags. These are printed on 8" x 13" card stock with a dimension of 1" x 2" each. The front cover consist of Una's photo while the inside has a Thank You note and Christening details.

~~If you want a template of the give-away tag, leave a message here with your email address so I can send it to you with detailed instructions.~~

Free Pattern: 7-Days Summer Bracelet

5 comments:

Living in the Philippines is like living in summer your whole life. Except of course for the occasional rainy months when we’re bombarded with typhoons left and right. Other than that, and if we are lucky, we have a month of two of cold weather, thank the monsoon wind traveling from the Antarctic to Southeast Asia.

You probably all know what goes well with summer, less is more. So I made this accessory for your daily wear. All day, all night, in the whole of seven days, all year round! Do not fret, this is so easy to make, you can make dozens in a matter of time you can’t possibly think of. You can easily wash it if it gets dirty then you can wear it over and over again. You can make this in different colors to match every outfit you have in your wardrobe. Or you can wear two different colored bracelets at the same time for that extra spunk!

7-Days Summer Bracelet

Design by: Gennie Pascual - Corbito

Level: Beginner

Size: 2cm x 15 cm

Materials:
cotton crochet thread size 8
2.50 mm crochet hook
button
blunt eye needle
stitch marker

Abbreviations:
ch = chain; sc = single crochet; sk = skip

Directions:
R1: ch 51 (mark the 5^th ch); leave about 25 cm. tail to be used for attaching the button later; turn.

R2: sc on the 2^nd ch from hook and in each of the next 4 ch; ch 40; sk 40 ch; sc on the 5^th ch of R1 and in each of the next 4 ch; (10 sc 40 ch)

R3: ch1, turn; sc on the 1^st sc and in each of the next 4 sc; ch 40; sk 40 ch; sc on the 5^th sc of the previous row and in each of the next 4 sc. (10 sc 40 ch)

R4-R7: repeat R3

Button hole: working on side of the rows, ch 1; sc on the end of R7; ch 5 (make adjustments according to the size of your button); sc on the end of R1; fasten off.

Attach the button using the 25 cm tail threaded into the blunt eye needle. Make sure that the button is placed in R4.

Adjustments and Fitting:
Ideally, the fitting should be the size of your wrist around plus enough space for a finger. To make adjustments, you may increase or decrease the number of chains in the middle of the bracelet.

You may follow this simple equation for adjustments:

5 chains + 40 chains (may be adjusted) + (5+1) chains

Cellphone Wristlet

3 comments:

A long overdue post.

Since I'm new to the crocheting thing again, I have to take baby steps and start on small project first before plunging into bigger responsibilities. The easiest of them all is a cellphone pouch. (Though in the kit that I had said it's a bookmark)

This is also considered my first design and I haven't seen anyone posted something like this and it's somehow an ego booster, haha! Plus you can't really find something like this because not anyone has a phone similar to mine and I designed it specifically for my phone and my own needs. so there.

I have used different kinds of cellphone pouches but they seem to match my phone needs. Mostly are too tight with no locks so my phone slips out and fly from somewhere else. With this one there's enough space for my phone to breath, Sam (my phone's name) is claustrophobic so this would suit her well and the handle serves as a lock for the purse so Sam won't go anywhere else. Plus I can wear the wristlet in the public, shop and there's no way someone can snatch my phone from me even with their tricky fingers!

+ + +

This project used Monaco cotton thread size 8 shade B62 for that sack look and steel hook size 9 by Imia. Sorry by I cannot explain the gauge specifics because I am really not used to that. This pattern also work in rounds so don't join unless stated and mark the beginning of each row.
