One of the essential traits one must have to work and make money online is that you have to be disciplined and deliver your work on time. I definitely lack in this respect and have procrastinated for the past several weeks. Now I’m catching up on all the backlog of work.

I have spent many sessions in Starbucks to work online. It’s the sign of the time that Starbucks Corp is closing down 600 stores in the US. Sign of recession that is.
I don’t know if this will impact overseas branches like Starbucks Malaysia but I hope it doesn’t. In fact, Starbucks just opened new […]

I have registered many Free Blog services just for the heck of experimenting and finding out their features. Here is another free blog service - Thoughts.com.
It took me only less than a minute to create and account and I tried out posting a post.

The first thing I noticed is the “Who can view” feature […]

Yesterday I was on Yahoo IM, clicking on my daily 600 Entrecard drops, writing sponsored posts, checking my email and having dinner all at the same time. That’s multitasking for you. Doing multiple tasks at the same time. Although it sounds good, but humans weren’t made to multitask. The term ‘multitask’ came from computer […]

I’ve been getting a worrying number of Yahoo Messenger spam lately and it has been consistently 2-3 spam messages a day. The message would usually be “Got a minute?”, “Hey Andrew”, etc. I immediately add those people into my “ignore list”.
However browsing thru forums I now see that there are actually robots or ‘bots’ […]

Yes I agree that it’s a controversial thing to give students credit cards. Some may think this is a bad  idea as this will lead to an early debt ridden young adult when they graduate. But I think with good practices, credit cards can become a boon instead of a burden for the young ones.
First […]

I’ve broken the Alexa 200K mark!
 
All that thanks to Entrecard and not my content really. I have not been generating any traffic at all to this blog because I have not taken the time to update it. Anyway, Entrecard + good content is killer if you are a beginning blogger. Not that Alexa is important […]

Nowadays many office jobs involve a high number of hours spent in front of the computer. As someone who earns full time from the internet I too spent almost half the day working on the computer.
Remember the girl who worked herself to death? A doctor friend of mine said she probably suffered from DVT (Deep […]

I’ve been having terrible internet connection the whole year round. So I’ve been researching alternatives to what I can use to connect to the net. It turns out there is such a thing called Satellite Internet.
It certainly sounds futuristic but believe me, the technology is here and being used today. The technology has advanced […]

Looks like more businesses are going online. Baby clothes is one of them. Of course, the online stores MUST offer some compelling reason for potential buyers to shop online such as ease of browsing thru their products as well as good bargains. Jojo Designs is one of the better online stores that I’ve seen so […]

I used to be a computer lecturer for many colleges before I became a programmer. One of the college was Taylor’s College. I taught computer subjects for CPU (Canadian Pre University) program and it one of the most memorable experience for me. One of the reasons is because it had the best teaching conditions […]

Being in front of the computer daily for about half of the day is certainly not healthy. That is why I do take long walks every chance I get. Last Wednesday morning I took a walk from my uncle’s house at Bandar Utama to IKea. That was a 45 minutes walk. Hmmm.. perhaps should […]

That’s way […]

I know it’s been posted to death in other tech blogs but this is my own opinion of plus and minusses of the new iPhone:
 
The Good

Better battery life - important in a multi use device like this.
GPS - many predictions say that the GPS feature would be hard to fit in the already small […]

Yesterday Steve Jobs announced the much anticipated second version of the iPhone officially called iPhone 3G. Most important feature of course was the 3G connectivity which means faster internet connections.
One attraction is the price is quite low at USD 199 and USD 299 for the 8Gb and 16Gb model respectively. But that’s the […]
