Fighting Yahoo Messenger Spam

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’ […]

New MyBloglog sidebar widget

Looks quite nice. Refreshing from the old boring MyBlogLog sidebar. Seems faster too.
I like the mouse over “flyout” which immediately shows what are my visitors websites. I really hated the old sidebar where I had to make 2 or 3 clicks to do the same thing.
You can get it clicking on “Grab it” on my […]

Free Logos for your site

Branding is everything right? When you have a new website or a product to promote, a logo is quite important. For me I love this free logo maker site LogoMaker. Just replaced the old dorky myMuka.com logo (created just this morning) with this new one from LogoMaker. So what do you think?

IZEA will be rolling out the new metrics to measure a blog’s worth called RealRank . You can go to  RealRanker.com (found about this from RiceBlogger) to check to see what is your rank. I took the liberty to check the list of Malaysian’s Googled nuked to see what is their Real Rank:-

How I monitor the Blog Competition

I don’t use the browser to go to twosuperheroes or xyiry blog. Instead I use an online RSS reader called PageFlakes to view their content. It’s a great way of seeing how things are going at a glance.

Having a split personality is good

I’m sure many have noticed the potential for MyBlogLog as a traffic generating tool for websites. You leave your face here and there and curious blog owners will want to see who you are or at least what your blog is about.

Nasi Goreng Pattaya at CentrePoint

I’ve seen my friend try this before but I have never ordered it before. I figured it’s just fried rice wrapped in eggs that’s all. It’s fascinating how they get the egg to cover the fried rice this way.

Launch of ProbloggerWiki.com

I was just thinking that I love to use my blog to keep the useful tips on problogging that I’ve learnt. But on second thought, blogs are really not good for organising such information. Not when it is mixed with my other topics such as food, traffic competition with superhero, funny videos etc.
So, I’ve just […]

Gmail on your handphone

Ha ha.. scooped this from twosuperhero blog before they can even post it. Don’t worry superhero, it’s not stealing, just a different take on Gmail on your handphone.
Being a problogger wannabe I have to stay connected all the time. Even sitting in the toilet bowl I can check my Gmail. Just go to http://wap.google.com on […]

GMail now 4Gb

My favourite online email is GMail. Yahoo comes second even though it offers unlimited storage. Today I just noticed right at the bottom of my GMail screen that the total storage is now 4.5 Gb. I definitely can use the space especially now that I’m receiving photo attachment of a few hundred Mb in my […]

I hate to sit here in my work clothes late at night when I really want to be in […]
