Firefox 3 - Flash Videos without Sound

In certain cases, for those who using Fedora9 and Firefox3 might encounter problem in their flash plugin. I encountered a problem where no sound on flash videos. It happens that when I installed the adobe flash-plugin for Firefox, libflashsupport was not among adobe flash plugin's dependencies.

If you are encountering the same issue, here is a single command solution

Yum install libflashsupport

Its done..

VBA (Visual Basic Application) to OpenOffice Calc

VBA (Visual Basic Application) is an implementation of Visual Basic embedded within Microsoft Office Application that allows task and creation of new features. A converter is required in order to open a .vba file in Openoffice application (eg: Openoffice Calc)

The conversion of Excel VBA code to the equivalent OpenOffice Basic Calc code is available at http://www.business-spreadsheets.com/vba2oo.asp The converter which is known as VBA to OO Basic Converter is an online system where it translates the script. The snippet of VBA need to be paste in the column provided and click the "Convert" button and the system will process the conversion and generate the OO Basic code.

Note : This converter does not completely convert Excel VBA macros to OO Basic macros because the way both coded is fundamentally different.
