Dreaded Dry Cough

When my throat feels wierd, I always hope that it develops into flu. Cause the other development is almost always a dry cough. (I seemed to stop getting normal coughs since my poly days)

About dry cough, when I wake up in the morning, I'll be coughing so hard, my abs get toned, and also causes induced vomitting, to get the green phelgm near my chest area out in the basin.

At night, when the weather turns cold, the chest is damn ticklish, can't stop coughing. And it doesn't help the itch much. More coughing...

Anyway, some advice I got at the cost of $33.60 (GST and meds included).

Garggle with salt water for inflammed throats.
Orange, grapes and other fruits containing citric acid irittates the throat. So don't eat them.

Drowsy medicine is more effective than non-drowsy medicine. (I wonder if it's the chemical or just the rest that they induce).

My 8 modular credit software project module, is due in 2 weeks. Great time to be sick.

The evil sins of JPEG.

DO NOT use JPG for screenshots or anything that's not a PHOTO of the real world.
Causes major ugliness. Use PNG, BMP(then zip/rar) or any loseless compression. Works well for screenshots especially since there's alot of flat colors. Even if ur background is a picture of a hot babe, spare screenshots viewers the agony of seeing the dirt that gets spread around all the text.


On using Word properly, tag your headers as Heading 1/2/3, normal text as Normal, and you can create more. Something like how CSS works. So you can change all headers to use a certain font/style/color, without going through the whole document and changing them. Provides a "free" Table of Content generator too when used properly.

Structure based documents, not presentation based. (name drops, LaTeX, HTML, SGML, DocBook etc...)

This is just an idea to dump stuff I consume daily/weekly on a online medium so I can review it anywhere. (with an internet connection ...)

The goal : to gather and meet like minded people (Type Z, a play on Type A/B).

Here's a dump,
