Repeat this 10 times, DO NOT FRET. Trust me, at first I really freak the hell out of me for unable to do anything, even though what I need to do is just to access my local database as per normal, like what any developer would do every now and then. I've been googling quite a fair bit, by stating fair bit is just not to scare you out. Maybe the Lady ......

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Frankly speaking, I’ve been out of touch with the Open source world for quite some time.

I often find it hard to convert a date string into the date I desired. I'm not sure is it only me or any of you encounter the same problem before. Whenever I tried to do something like: var myDate = new Date(dateString); I will always get Today's date, instead of the value i stored in the dateString variable.

My dear fellow programmers/developers, how you kill your time while you're not coding? Some people go jogging, some listen to their favourite tracks, some catch movies, some read, and the list goes on and on. For me, one of the stuff I enjoy doing is Go. So what the heck is this Go, you may ask (of course if you're already playing and enjoying it, you ......
