Good news Geekysaurs! Razer was given the 7th consecutive Best of CES People’s Choice Award and is having a Fan Appreciation Event to celebrate the win! The event entitles users to 50% OFF of all Razer Peripherals (excluding systems) and is only valid TODAY starting 10AM (January 18, 2017 at 10AM – HK/PH UTC+8).

Creating Additional or Branded YouTube Channels

Hey geeks! I was trying to create a new channel for Buffysaur and spent a good two to three hours looking for the best way to do it. You see, I already have a personal YouTube channel tied to my account but I wanted to create new or additional branded channels to separate my different blogs. Trying to poke my way around YouTube, creating additional channels is not a walk in the park so I thought if I was having a hard time, there must be a lot of other users out there struggling with the same issue! So, like what any Geekysaur would do, I persevered! Turns out half the battle is knowing where to click. Follow the instructions below to have your own additional or branded channel in no time! Go to YouTube.com. Login if you haven’t already then click on your profile on the upper right. Afterwards, click on YouTube Settings. You should be taken to your Account Overview page. From here, click on See all my channels or create a new channel. You will then be shown a list of your current channels and the option to create a new channel. Now, click on the [ + Create a new channel ] button. The next page would allow you to define your channel name and proceed to creating a channel. Just put your desired channel name on the textbox then...

NovakSolutions Infusionsoft PHP SDK: Getting Contact Notes

A colleague was having trouble getting Infusionsoft Contact Notes using the NovakSolutions PHP SDK. He’s one hell of a good developer so I thought if he’s having trouble understanding the SDK and getting the contact notes, there’s also a lot of developers out there who would be having the same issues! Hence, this post. 🙂 Of course, like what any good Geekysaur would do, we experiment! This assumes that you already know, have been using, or at least installed NovakSolutions’ IFS PHP SDK. After a bit of experimentation, we found out that you need to do the following: PHP...

Install PHP 5.5 or 5.6 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)

While trying to install PHP to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I encountered a weird issue where the version being installed is PHP 7.0. Now, the reason I am launching this server is because I want to install Phabricator by Phacility and, as of press time, it does not support nor run in PHP 7. Note, it might seem that you are installing PHP 5.X just because you are running say sudo apt-get install php5-cli, but in reality, you are actually installing PHP 7. How do I know? Check out the packages to be installed before confirming! If you look closely...
