Receiving a spike in traffic for chess

Already receiving the effects of giving the “Chess Publisher” tool for free. I’ve got a small spike of three times my normal traffic yesterday. I guess it’s also the ‘live’ chess reporting I’ve been doing over the weekend for chess in Cititel Mid Valley. I’m receiving traffic from friends and family members from all over […]

Giving out things for free

I remember writing my first open source “Shoutbox” for PostNuke 7 years ago. It brought me instant fame on the online world and it was a good feeling.

Bulletin Boy for the week

That’s right. I’m now doing data entry work and my job designation temporarily changes from jobless blogger to bulletin boy. That’s just for one week.

I beat 5xmom

How’s that for a link baiting title?
Again it’s only 12 hours since the start of the day (based on US time) but I am actually ahead of 5xmom, Chan Lilian by a narrow 50cents. Imagine that! I beat the Malaysian Queen of PPP for the top PPP earners for the day !! I’m lucky […]

PPP Top 10 Earner

I know it’s only 6 hours into the new day (US time) so getting into top 10 in PPP for daily earnings is no big deal.
Still it’s a big deal to me to see my face there for a change

Stigma to being jobless

I am feeling a certain stigma attached to being jobless. Take for example a few days ago when I had dinner with a friend. He had just quit to take up a new job because of too much job pressure. That’s a common story nowadays isn’t it? He insisted on paying for the dinner. […]
