Selfish passenger! Bus is not full but there are a couple of people standing including me. This is my second attempt at ‘moblogging’ on my handphone using Flickr service. Cool eh ?

Playing around with Pligg

It’s been a long time since I’ve installed any PHP script other than Wordpress. So a few days ago I installed a new script called Pligg which is an opens source Digg clone on my inactive domain, MyMuka.com. I tried Pligg 2 years ago and it was terribly not stable and raw. But when I […]

How’s your Internet connection?

Yesterday’s Streamyx was blazingly fast (compared to past weeks) and this morning it’s still the same. I know I’m jinxing it by posting about it, but what the heck.
This is my Speedtest.net result this morning.
I wish it was like this every day
What’s your Internet connection speed?

Nuffnang Earnings - Jan 2008

I have already cashed out my Nuffnang’s earning of RM 241.40 some time back. After about 2 months, this is my current Nuffnang’s income:

This is way better than the RM 50 balance (after 3 months) I have in Advertlets. Advertlets made me feel that my blogs were somehow inadequate. I’m happy that I achieved this […]

Internet Connection Contingencies

contingency n. , pl. -cies . An event that may occur but that is not likely or intended; a possibility.
Yesterday’s internet connection was terribly slow. I’m using Streamyx, what else!! Thinking I could get a slightly better connection, I disconnected from my router and rebooted my notebook . (By the way, reboot time is now […]

Waiting to be in Glitterati

This will be a “before” screenshot
Already removed all other SEA ad programs from my blogs.
I’m waiting since Nuffnang support people said it will be about 4 days before they review and update my membership status again.Hopefully everything goes well and I can become a Glitterian.

Formatting my notebook

It’s been over a year since I got my notebook. This is only the second time I’m formatting it. Too many rubbish installation of various software has slowed it down somewhat. I procrastinated in formatting it for a long time. Now I have finally done it.The main reason I kept on delaying the format was […]

Google Adsense relevancy

I was going thru my old articles to see how relevant Google ads match my articles. Since I don’t concentrate on a particular niche topic  like tech or money making, it wasn’t surprising that most of the ads were off the mark. However there were some old ones like below that were more or less […]

Advertlets compensation-too little, too late

I have totally dropped Advertlets on my major websites. Advertlets announced the compensation plan for the ‘damages’ bloggers suffered after their blogs were inadvertently hijacked by Advertlets expired domain for about one whole day.
It’s 10%-20% extra on your usual daily earnings for about a month.To me that’s terribly subjective issue as on my peak it […]

First movie for 2008

I watch lots of show on DVDs but I have not watched many movies ever since my favourite cinema at Amcorp Mall, PJ closed last year. The last movie I watched was Transformers. I liked to watch shows at this ‘mini’ plex because it was pretty free of crowds. I guess that’s the reason it […]

Informatics Ads on my website

This is the second time I’ve seen Informatics ads on one of my site. The first time was on my MariBelajar.com domain via Google Ads. Now I see their ads via Nuffnang. For nostalgia, I had to take a screen shot (the other Andrew from homewithandrew.com will understand)
The significance is that I used to […]

There’s no greater compliment to this Problogger wannabe when the one and only Problogger, Darren Rowse visits your site!!
I saw this on my Blogcatalog recent viewers:It looks authentic enough as I checked on Blogcatalogs profile which matches Darren’s profile..
It looks like Darren uses BlogCatalog instead of MyBlogLog. Good thing I have both installed otherwise I […]

My favourite blogging tool - Scribefire

I rarely use WordPress admin dashboard to post my articles. Most of the time I use Scribefire, which is a FireFox plugin. I like it because it is nice and simple with WYSIWYG mode as well as HTML view where I can have full control over the formatting of the blog post.
