I was browsing through some blogs when I found myself on this particular post in doBot’s blog. Here’s the official announcement. Familiar Malaysian forums have been discussing this for a while, and as usual I’m left behind again. Some of them mentioned that the 4Mbps is nothing if TMNet still decides to limit/throttle traffic especially [...]

Have you ever downloaded a file with the extension .iso and have no idea what to do with it? It has been not once, not twice, but at least 6 times I have provided a .iso file to a friend / family member and the .iso file ended up to be a single file on [...]

What kind of shopper are you? When you have something in mind do you just go and buy it without any research? I used to be like that until I made several mistakes buying things not worth the price! I’ve found this site TestFreaks, and they are in Alpha mode. The contents that they are [...]

I was alerted by Firefox earlier today to update one of the plugins I use: SearchStatus. It is a plugin which displays Google PageRank, Alexa Rank, and the latest update includes Compete Rank. It turns out Compete has been around for quite a while now. I am surprised why I never heard of them. According [...]

Logging into my Yahoo! Mail today, I was surprised with a message “The storage meter is going bye-bye”. Yahoo! is still in the game of free emails. I am a Yahoo! Mail Plus user so I have access to POP and SMTP but I do welcome this upgrade! After all, if free users get unlimited [...]

Despite of a shadowy day (the shadow is in my head) today, I am thrilled to learn that my AdSense PIN has arrived safely at my home. It felt good. I’ve been busy and tired lately, this is a very big hurdle for a non full time blogger like me. Less and less time (and [...]

Are you running a specific online business, or at least planning to have one? Do you realize the importance of having a good, catchy domain name for your business? I had several experiences (good and bad) when it comes to buying special domains. Once I was even involved in a fraudulent domain purchase transaction which [...]

Yesterday morning it was raining quite heavily since about 4:00 am or so and the whole day was cold and dark. I caught a cold because of the sudden change. And then today, it’s (very) hot as usual. Mother Nature is really not feeling very well and so am I.

Latest Update click here. I am a curious programmer, and was all the way wondering on how apps on PortableApps were made. Since Pidgin, the replacement for Gaim was released I was waiting for a while for Portable Apps but I guess they must be busy with the number off apps they have to handle. [...]

You have probably heard this many times, your friend or someone told you that you should not use the same password for all of your website memberships. Perhaps they never told you why. I have seen people taking this for granted many times, using the same password even for online banking accounts! So I am [...]

In the area where I live (and work) it has been so hot for quite while now. Since I am working in an air-conditioned office at work and in my home office I did not really realize how seriously the heat has become until I received multiple alerts from my SMART monitoring software. Seagate disks [...]

My better half was complaining that she can’t find a suitable plugin for displaying random posts on her sidebar. I tried to look myself, and there were some reference to the plugin but nowhere to be found. One good plugin I found is Random categories with random posts by Mike Stickel but it uses categories [...]

As a long time Bruce Willis fan (you’ll know if you see my gravatar and IM avatars), I was thrilled when Azidin told me that a new Die Hard movie is going to be released this year. It is going to be the 4th installment to the Die Hard series, being the 4th. I have [...]

I have several blogs hosted on GoDaddy servers. If your WordPress blog is hosted on GoDaddy hosting, do not use the WP-Cache plugin or your site will intermittently produce Error 500 (Internal Server Error). I can’t spot the error even when I enable the error logs – there seems to be none! I’ve heard similar [...]
