With or Without WWW?

Image via Wikipedia
I just found out that this blog has two PRs.
www.andrewooi.com - PR2
andrewooi.com -PR3
Now I have to decide whether I should change my WordPress options to andrewooi.com instead (without WWW) to take advantage of the higher PR. Should I just forget about the www?

AndrewOoi.com is now PR3

Google sure makes page rank updates at funny times. It’s only April 30th and they have yet another round of updates. I’m not complaining because they have raised this blog Page Rank from 2 to 3.
Despite what is said about the “worthlessness” of PR if it cannot be monetized, I somehow feel energized by this […]

What to do with short domain name?

I bought a short URL domain name: u8i.net off eBay for about USD 10. Now I don’t know what to do with it?
I thought of using it as a redirection service like:

Woopra - first looks

I applied for a Woopra account more than a month ago and today I received an email saying that my account has been approved. Woopra is a stats program for your website on steroids! I was excited when I saw previews of it from GeekBrief.tv.
Here’s my first looks after a half an hour playing with […]

What’s the maximum browser windows you can open?

If you have seen my past post, you know I’ve gone ga ga over Entrecard. I’ve been spending hours dropping cards and constantly finding faster ways of doing it.
At first I found Opera quite good in this respect as it was speedy, lightweight and can open many windows at one time.
Today I found that the […]

5000 Entrecards credits for 1 cent

I’ve just listed another 5000 Entrecard credits to be sold on eBay starting from 1 cent (again) !
I make so many post about Entrecard here I think I better open a new website call EntrecardAddict.com
Anyway, one thing I don’t like about eBay is that the shortest bidding period I can set is […]

Now’s the best time to cash out Nuffnang

We compile the cheques at the end of each month. Since you cashed out in February, the cheque was compiled at the end of February and sent to the bank, which at that point it takes a further 30 days to run around in the gears.

My last Nuffnang cash out took almost 2 months! The […]

3000 EC credits sold (again)

Entrecards credit prices can really fluctuate. Just sold another 3000 EC credits for USD 15.50.
The previous 2 sales were USD 9.50 for 3333 credits and USD 12.50 for 3000 credits.
This is my 3rd successful eBay sale of Entrecards. I almost thought I would not be paid and it was a spoilt bid […]

CISS solution for photostating

Since my dead Canon Pixma 1600 printer is alive again, I’m thinking of getting this CISS thingy for mass printing. CISS is short for Continuous Ink Supply System. Basically CISS has larger than normal tanks of ink feeding directly into your inkjet printer via some plastic tubes. It’s way cheaper than getting refill cartridges.
For […]

Adsense minefield

One advantage of having a for-fun wordpress blog is you can try stuff. I am playing with this crazy wordpress theme that has Ads and affiliate banners to the maximum.  This theme aptly called SEOAdMax is made by Gary Conn.
So far, this is the theme that has the most Adsense ads I’ve seen.

I use PowerDropping.com list of 300 drops but I’ve reformatted in into a tabular format that I find is easier and faster to click on. Good to see that they’ve finally refreshed the list. Just to share, here is the latest links based on PowerDropping.com list ..

Sold! USD 9.50 for 3333 EC credits

My second successful sales at eBay. 3000 EC credits for USD 9.50. It’s not as high as my first sale of USD 12 for 3000 EC credits. 
Going for my third eBay sale. Current bid is USD 7.50 for 3000 EC credits. I’m dropping an average of 1000 cards a day so selling every 3 […]

Something different at Mamak stall

Went to ABC Big Town Cafe again to meet a friend and use the WiFi. I’m getting fed up of Roti Canai and Tosai everytime I come here so I tried Roti Bakar (toast) and Telur Setengah Masak (half boiled eggs). Washed it all down with Teh Tarik.
Not bad. At least a change from […]

USD 5.50 for 3333 Entrecards on eBay

This is the current price for my 3333 EC credits I’m selling on eBay.
That’s very much cheaper than my previous sale of 3000 credits for USD 12.
But I don’t mind. Dropping cards has become my latest obsession nowadays and I have lots of credits to get rid off. In fact I […]

Cheap Canon Pixma IP 1600 still working after a year

I’m very surprised that this cheap Canon Pixma IP 1600 that I bought is still working. I have not printed on it for over a year !!

Ink didn’t dry out!
Just assumed that the ink had dried up and the head was clogged. That’s because I’ve gone thru 3 cheap Epson Stylus all of which […]

Highlight of last week

One of my best result in a chess tournament. I won 4th place in this one-day chess competition held at Bukit Jalil with a cash prize of RM 80. I’m on the right.
