It’s been awhile again…

George — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:42:19 +0000

2 months plus…it’s so fast. A lot of things have been changed, keep making sure not running out from the track, yet it never been easy to do so.

I’ll try to post more useful information on DotNetNuke and other stuff maybe…

This is just a post saying that both the blog and I are not dead yet.

Moved to New Server.

George — Thu, 28 May 2009 07:41:48 +0000

Due to the slow Internet Connection to oversea websites and servers, I’ve switched back to Malaysia Server. The speed boost up but I guess most of my readers from western countries will suffer from the slow loading speed and most of the link may not work as the DNS propagation is still in progress.

The second reason is that this new server is much Cheaper than the previous hosting in Bluehost.com. I paid only RM 199 for this hosting for a year! (About USD$56). While Bluehost provide much more benefits but I hardly utilize 20% of it and its time to support local business after being so inactive in bluehost account for 2 years!

I’ll continue to write more about DotNetNuke and try to squeeze more time and clear my mind to write more on this blog. I have trouble keeping this blog just on DotNetNuke but without do that, it is hard to get audience. Thus, I’m thinking to move all DNN related posts into a static page rather than blog alike…not that will cost me more time…

Will see how…Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

I should write something. How about some nonsense?

I’ve been busy lately. Not on the work load but the mind. Thinking always is the fastest way to drain all the energy out from my body.

So, everyone is getting a twitter and dying to let other people know if you’re sneaking off from your day job, chatting on the FaceBook or fighting with your constipation in toilet…and yes, I’ve got one for the portal as a promotional tools…Actually, the account was registered on last year around November where actually no one know what can the litter twitter miracle.

Long before the existence of twitter, there are few similar products that do the same thing…the one that I can recalled now is GoldFish which been featured in Prison Break several times. So why Twitter can be so successful while other being buried without anyone notice it? To cut it short, Twitter has to be very thankful to bunch of Internet Master and Gurus where they actually help to create this miracle.

Well, since it has become the most effective tool to Internet Marketers nowadays, most of the twitter contents are bunch of marketing information and I actually quite surprise that many people actually like to read it! (That is why I start back to text a bit in Twitter). Anyway, this is just another product that being push and worship by bunch of Internet Marketers…just like FaceBook…why not other social websites but Facebook? It’s all about Internet Marketers preferences. Believe it or not…we called it Internet Gurus phenomena…

They are the big guys to decide which website / tool to survive…

Do you actually use Facebook to do something useful to you? Like managing events, creating groups or so…I bet most of your don’t even know what is RSVP! Ok…no offence because I don’t use it either…who still want to login to computer while can use your phone to sms the person straight away? I mean…for the case in Malaysia…LAR…

P1wimax spend a lot in Advertisement. It seems that its Alexa ranking is higher than Streamyx! No idea…If we just look at the price, it is definitely cost more than the Streamyx….but if we calculate the hidden cost like waiting and spoiling your mood few times a week, then a roughly extra RM60 is still cheaper than the lousy Streamyx….but of course if you’re a BT fans then it may not be your option lor…as streamyx is the only ISP that doesn’t really cares about fair usage policy and abusing its subscribes etc etc etc…btw sorry for the pasar Manglish in this post lar har…

Seems that I actually have many things to rant once I started to write…Today is the day while this hosting left 60days in Bluehost and I’ve decided not to renew it. Most probably I will switch back to Malaysia hosting as I really tired of using a Streamyx National Local Intranet to connect to oversea website…I waste enough time to load this blog and other website hosted in Bluehost…due to the stupid lousy connection to oversea servers.

Who cares lar….not so many readers in my blogs also what…

I’ve to do step forward to do something extraordinary soon. It’s time to change!

How to synchronize all computers around me???

Oracle9 — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:14:01 +0000

I actually wanted to write on few topics which I’ve already in mind. Before I forget it, I’d better write it in here. The first one is a guide on how to customize the ugly layout of DotNetNuke Login page. The reason is damn simple: Don’t you think all DNN website login is so standardized ugly? The solution is really simple without having to spend a dime to buy a new login module as it probably won’t support latest Facebook Connect or maybe not even LiveID / OpenID login.

The second one will a talk about the new DNN Skin which I’m making…1% progress…and which I intended to give it for free…

The third one..omg I think I just forgot what is it…ohya…talking about how many computers there are in my house…guess what? My house has 5 DELL Inspiron notebooks which models start from ????, 4000, 5100, 5150 and 6400. 3 of them still running and the amazing thing is that the 4000 running in Pentium III actually still works fine and the start up speed actually fastest than my current 6400 notebook.

You see, the problem comes when I’m using so many devices (not that many as you do maybe) but I found hard to synchronize all the information stored in each device. For example, For the first and second topic that I wanted to blog about, unfortunately all the prepared information is stored in the 6400 notebook which I currently use for work.

While the post to show off how many pcs there are in my house, I took all the shots using my Nokia N81 8GB Phone. Seems no problem on synchronization right? The problem is that I use Inspiron 5150 notebook at home because it has the finest monitor screen I have seen so far. No kidding, 13’ monitor with 1400 x 1280 resolution! That is why I always use it to watch movies even I have to use USB as Ethernet (LAN) connection to connect to internet. Yes! Even it is so slow (I mean 100mb needs 20minutes that kind of slow) to copy large video files from my brother’s pc and kena complaint by him. No choice man…I love this pc even the LAN port is spoiled…keyboard kina broken before (Just fixed it awhile ago by replaced it with my brother’s old 5100 Notebook keyboard…)

And finally comes to the phone. It has some connectivity problem since I installed don’t know which program into it. It keeps occupied the memory card which make me…kinda wtf wtf wtf and restart the phone before I can connect my notebook using CABLE! Yes, both of my notebooks don’t have Bluetooth installed. Yup…and we’re talking about 100MB 15minutes kind of slow…Did I mention that my notebook at home does not have wireless card?

It is like I have to turn on 3 computers before I can write something nicely…

Internet? Don’t you know that the Internet Connection provided by Telekom – Streamyx Malaysia is actually making you SCREAM MAX? Don’t even need to mention that the service call greetings is always: “Sorly” We’re facing huge technical failure in XXX areas. I called every few days and recorded it…you can find different version of the streamyx failure greetings all over Youtube by other users too. (I’m composing it to a song….)

Ok…That’s it. Just to make this post a bit….picturized: Here’s the 00 Gundam must have scene in every episode…GUN POINTING!

Happy Valentine's Day 2009

Oracle9 — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:34:22 +0000

Something wrong with my stomach this whole morning since I’ve woke up. How’s your Valentine’s day? Any surprises? Just another day for me. I’ve finally migrated all the blogs’ post to here and now this blog will continue to update as frequently as before.

I’ve added 2 plugins into my Windows Live Write. This first one is Code Snippet plugin which is very important for a programming blogger. Below is a testing post to show how to add rel="nofollow" in an anchor link. Always remember to enable no="follow" link in your blog’s comment to avoid spam comment.

   1: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://example.com">Example Dot Coma>

The second one added is a word count plugin. This is important as according to some unofficial statistic research report, a blog should have at least 300 words in length to get the best result from the readers as well as search engine. Although less of official report on this, it pretty much make sense from the point of a search engine view. A short paragraph just hardly make any sense to search engine to know what the hell are you writing about.

The only drawback is that the the word count plugin for Windows live messenger do not have auto count function which make me think that it is kinda useless for lazy person like me. After all, as long as your content is genuine content, who care is you’re just writing few lines like twitter or thumb bloggers.

The last function I want to test is the insert picture function in WLM. It seems that it will override the style and original insert picture format. So here’s the result:

Updated: Soon after I made the above post, I’ve updated all my Windows Live software to 2009 version which means that Live Writer and Messenger also get updated. The Messenger seems nothing new to be as I’m using it in Windows 7 already but the Writer seems not so promising as most of the functions to do apply to other blogging platform other than MSN Space.

For example, it said that there will be auto word count but I really can’t find it but the one I’ve just added it. I’ve added another tag plugin for Wordpress and hope it will work this time. The other new feature will be the Photo Album which is kinda useless as it only connects to MSN Photo Album. However, there features that are quite handy like Album, TILE and Watermark. According to the msn live page, we should be able to add photo title too but I’m not manage to do it…

MyLifeBBS is back on life? Maybe for now.

This domain actually has been long abandon due to my laziness and Malaysia Network connection speed to US server (Yup, this blog is hosted in US server). Sooner and later I will merge all my blogs from different places that also kinda long abandon together and import to this blog (Mostly from blogger.com).

There’s nothing much to write on today as I’m awake for more than 30 hours and it is another lonely Valentine’s day for me. I really kinda…Otaku style already. Test to post an image:

Cheers!

Boycott McDonald?

George — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:33:00 +0000

Yesterday I bought prosperity double burger in McDonald drive-thru somewhere in Pandan Indah. And guess what? I got this piece of paper from the window girl:

Notice from McDonald’s Malaysia. Apparently this is regarding the Israel issue which has been quite a hot topic in our Malay community. This note in printed in fancy thick paper which I think it need about RM 0.01 per piece to print out. (Believe me, I used to be in Printing industry ).

So? still wanna boycott McDonalds?

No related posts.

Am I too pressured? Part 2

Oracle9 — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 10:56:00 +0000

I guess so. Having a personal blog is hard especially when you know somebody you know is going to see it one day. It might be your friends, partner, family, clients, or worst: your boss/future boss.

It is hard to rant on the Internet without exposing yourself. It would be totally meaningless if I stay anonymous if I want to rant on something/someone right? Just like whenever there’s a terrorist attack, someone has to claim the responsibility right? But then you will marked as the bad guy forever. I hope you get what I mean.

One fact is, It seems that I’ve mastered my evil radiation as even when I chatting via MSN or writing an email, people somehow sensed that they’re being offended by me. Wow, what should I say? I guess I’d better just shut myself, stop writing, chatting and left this hell out of my way.

As a matter of fact, I did stop writing for a while due to this issue. Hope I’ll get back on track soon.

I’ll absorb all the blames, accuses, responsibility, mis-judgement, mis-understanding, loses, dead cats etc etc and one day before you know it, I’m either far ahead from you or I have boomed myself in the center of Malaysia. Cheers!

Shouldn't I write something?

Whole CNY is kinda busy. What an excuses right? haha. No matter how, persistence has to be there. Getting out from the captivity of negativity. The coldest winter have arrived, the spring is not far from now. Related posts:Captivity of Negativity: Are you in deep Shit! I should write something. How about some nonsense? I'm back Related posts:
