"Invalid Update Control CTF File" Errors on AVG

For the past two days my Anti-Virus has not been downloading its definations updates. Instead it's been prompt me that i have an "Invalid Update Control CTF File". I finally dug around and found the solution to the problem. Actually, this error could be easily fixed by rename or remove the CTF temp files.

Delete the .CTF files from the following folder

Windows XP, go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avg8\update\download

Windwos Vista, go to:
C:\ProgramData\avg8\update\download

There were two .CTF files (avginfoavi.ctf and avginfowin.ctf) in that folder, deleting them to fixed the problem indeed. After that, re-run the update. Don't delete all the .bin files in there unless you want to re-run all updates since your original installation (reinstallation seems to cause a problem in IEs Link Scanner which causes IE to Crash).

Note:
The Application Data folder is hidden by default. You need to enable Windows Explorer to show hidden files in order to view the Application Data folder. Alternately, type the above folder path in the Start > Run dialog and press ENTER to launch the folder.

Bowling Buddies - Secret Technique To Get Prefect Achievement

For those who have added this (Facebook) application. Here i would like to share some little secret on how i got prefect achievement (300 points) without using any kind of cheat, bot, hack, software. Just "special" tricks that utilize mouse wheel to score 12 strikes in a roll.

All you need to do is just to follow these simple steps.

1) Of course you must have a mouse with wheel. ha ha! Just Kidding (Page Up and Page Down will do)

2) Scroll your screen down.

3) Place the ball in a perfect location (aim for pin 1 and 2 or pin 1 and 3)

4) Use your mouse wheel to scroll up; by this way you will find the ball let go by itself. (For Firefox users, Page Up and Page Down do not work therefore you could only use mouse wheel to scroll. But for Internet Explorer users, you could actually use Page Up and Page Down to roll the ball)

5) Hold your mouse until the ball strike the pins.

Scroll down the screen

12 strikes in a roll. he he...

By using above steps, you can't really go below 200 points. Keep practice over and over again, repeat the steps once you get the comfortable with the ball location that you always get strike. That's it. Score 300 points, piece of cake! LOL

* If you encounter some problem like unable to scroll down or after scroll up the ball unable to let go itself and etc. Please check your display resolution. This is because your screen resolution is too large therefore you could not scroll enough to let the ball go.

Harry's B1 Korean BBQ @ Auto City

Here's my second post - Harry's B1 Korean BBQ. ha ha... disappointing? Last weekend we went to Harry's B1 Restaurant to celebrate my birthday via a simple dinner. The menu is very extensive with various types of meat available like pork, chicken, lamb, beef, seafood and etc.

This is the first time we were there, we ordered BBQ set for 2 person costs RM76++. A set inclusive of a few dishes and is much cheaper compare to ordering the dishes individually. The set contained 4 type different taste of meat (port and chicken), ban-chan, kimchi, and Korea tea.

Salad, it taste a bit sour and sweet...extremely appetizing.

Many type of side dishes start floating in...

Mix platter~ barbecuing the meat by ourselves. Damn delicious!

When the meat was ready, what we did is wrapped with the vegetables and eat.

Yummy, it tasted good~ I personally like the stone pot rice very much

Lastly, dessert was serve a small slice of papaya. (Forgot to have a snapshot on it)

deng~ deng~ guess what?

My birthday gift! haha!

I got a wonderful birthday, thank you very much!
