My First Splog

Oh no! I’m now a splogger! Please don’t hate me. I’m not stealing your content. I’m just “syndicating it”. Nice word isn’t it - syndicate. Anyway I am not going into the debate of content syndication and outright content stealing. I’m just going to go ahead and document what I did to create my first […]

Apple sneaks in Safari

I thought only Microsoft was sneaky when they first pushed out IE 7 as a “security update” to users.
Apple goes one up here. I have iTunes installed to sync songs to my iPod. However, I’ve never ever used the Safari browser.
Today I got this popup for an Apple Software update.

The “Install” option is already checked […]

Hong Kiat back to PR Zero?

Today I was going to write a post about blogs with /blog folders and their PR and saw that HongKiat.com is back down to Page Rank Zero (PR 0/10).
I thought that must be a mistake but I checked with my FireFox toolbar, SelfSeo PR Checker and LivePR too. All showed PR 0. My […]

Hacked WordPress core to add No Follow links

I’ve been procrastinating on restoring one of my PR Zero blogs to it’s original PR4 because the thought of manually looking for each sponsored post and deleting it was just too daunting. Today, I finally bit the bullet and added “No Follow” tags to the links. I think this is much easier and faster than […]

No small potatoes! USD 66K for PR7 website

I was surprised to find out that WPDesigner.com - now a PR7 site has been sold for USD 66K. I’ve used themes done by the author before and I’m sure the author’s face familiar to many WordPress users. He is better known as small potatoes, a 21-year old Thai blogger with a great talent for […]

Joined Entrecard

I just joined Entrecard to find out what’s the fuss about. I’ve been seeing Entrecard 125×125 ads in many blogs I visited. It supposedly another tool to bring bloggers traffic. I hope it’s not another blogrush. Did not know how to design a button so I just chose a stock picture and wrote some […]

Notebook on Standby or Hibernate?

After my seeing my Dell 640m notebook dying after only 14 months, I come to the conclusion that leaving the computer on hibernate is not good for the battery. I’ve been doing that almost everytime before I go to sleep instead of turning the notebook off.
So to answer the question above I think […]

More eBook trickery

To be fair let’s not call them scam. They do offer some content in their eBook though the actual value of it may be close to nothing.
I did more research on the web and found that these dirty and increasingly becoming common techniques used by some dubious affiliate marketers to sell poor quality […]

Buy eBook to learn how to make money online?

This is one of the Google ads that appeared in some of my blogs lately. After finding out how OnlyInMalaysiaMah is a scam, I saw many similarities in the sale pitch of TheRichBoy.com too. Pictures of that 20 year old new car, condo and sports bike were to eerily the same as OnlyInMalaysiaMah. Funny […]

Pligg, Digg, Innit ?

Pligg is a Digg clone so it’s probably more logical to ask what is Digg.

My old blogspot looks better than this blog

I can’t get Merdurian’s comment on my blog theme looking ‘cacat’ out of my mind. Yeah I must agree it looks a bit ‘cacat’ with the ads not fitting in.
