What is 404 Not found page?
- It is a non-exist website page. Let’s say when you go to a web page and the link is broken. There will be a screen dedicating that the page you are trying to go is not exist.

What is 403 Forbidden path page?
- It is a page that web page that webmaster would not like to have users access that URL. Mostly this page is used for hiding files in folder which does not contain index page within it.

.htaccess file
First off, you have to go to your .htaccess file on your Apache server. Normally, .htaccess file is in a root folder. In case, you cannot find it, you can just create a new one and paste it on your root folder.  .htaccess file will control configurations normal basis of the server.

To customize 404 page:
You have to add ErrorDocument 404 /filename.html in the .htaccess file. The path file can be *.html, *.php or anything you would like to be. Then basically, whenever users get to a broken link on your website, they will be sent to the path you dedicated. After you set up, you, now, will be able to customize or design the error page anything as you want.

To customize 403 page:
You have to add Options -Indexes in the .htaccess file to turn off displaying files in non-index directory. Then add ErrorDocument 403 /filename.html. The path file can be *.html, *.php, or anything you want. When they are trying to go to an existing folder and expecting to see all of the files in that non-index folder, they will be sent to the path you dedicated. Now, you can start making a page for 403 error for you website.

Example in .htaccess file will be like

Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /403.php

How to:

3. Then select types of character that you would like to be in your Flash.
4. After that click OK.

Then it’s done. However, embedding fonts into your .swf  file will make the file larger since it has to contain the characters within the file.

Today while I was taking my second scenario of Smith Hall. I got an idea to rearrange all the fliers in Smith Hall’s stairway. I saw they were very messy and very unorganized. I want to see what would they be in the next week.

In the sixth floor, I pinned some posters/fliers in an unique way. Let’s see that the next person will pin like the other fliers were pinned or not.

Some small tweak in Photoshop can make your picture back to life with a retro looking.


I changed Curves, Hue/Saturation ,and  Brightness/Contrast. Also I put Lens Correction filter twice with one has Vivid Light over the other to bring the color of the photo.

You can download my psd file to see what I’ve done to the picture here.

I was applying OpenGL to Processing application and I got surprised how to it works on PC isn’t the same as Mac. It slows my process and graphic isn’t going faster, slower than ever. Then I switched from Open GL mode to P3D mode. Now it runs pretty quick! I’m quite not sure would it happens to any other PCs too or not. If anyone finds out, do you mind sharing thoughts with me?
