Oh, oh, looks like Six Apart’s Vox.com is closing its door. Another free blogging service bites the dust. I have been using Vox.com for mobile blogging since 31/Aug/2008 or roughly for about two years. And what a coincidence the date I sign up was on Malaysia Merdeka Independence day! The end of the free blogging service seemed rather timely as around June this year, I was already planning to migrate to another mobile blogging platform, namely blog by using Google Blogger. Six Apart made the closing announcement just after the Merdeka day this year and informed that the Vox blogging service will end on 30th Sept 2010. (more…)

Vox.com Closing its Free Blogging Service
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Google Multiple Sign In
Monday, August 9th, 2010Google multiple sign in is another very useful feature launched by Google recently. Certainly helps if you have multiple Gmail account. And why would you have so many Gmail / Google account in the first place? Many like me I found has a Gmail account for personal, for work, or to separate and segregate the incoming email. And in order to work around the single sign in previously and to log in and monitor each account, I use multiple browsers at the same. So I have Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, (but not IE, no thanks! Heh heh…) opened at the same time to check each account. So now with the Google multiple sign in feature available, there is no more need to have several browser open at the same time! (more…)
Google Webmaster Central DNS Verification Method
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Google Webmaster Central DNS verification method is a little tricky to use in comparison with the HTML and META tag version. However there are instances where you would need to use DNS verification in situation where your domain is not using a normal web hosting provider and such you have no way to upload a HTML file for verification. Free websites like Yola.com and Webs.com comes to mind as well as to those who are using GoDaddy.com just for parking their domain but pointing their DNS to another location. (more…)
How to switch off Bing background
Monday, June 28th, 2010The Bing search engine background is nice and beautiful. But sometimes in an office environment where bosses are keeping a hawkish eye on what their employees are doing, the attractive Bing background is like a beacon for boss watchful eye. So it might be prudent to disable and switch off Bing background and keep yourself grey and not standout in your need to search for information online irregardless if you are researching for information for your work or for personal information.

Malaysia Download Speed Comparison
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010I really can’t take this slow motion internet connection. But what other choice do I have? Just checked Malaysia download speed and guess what I dug out? Found out that Malaysia is ranked #104 at 1.94Mb/s for download and ranked #86 at 0.72Mb/s for upload. Sounds nice? Not if you compare with our nearest neighbours and you would see we are hopelessly outclassed. (more…)
Star Two Rage featured bloggers
Thursday, March 11th, 2010The Star Two Rage section is more for the youth, twenty-something who likes to blog. Some of their featured Malaysian bloggers including the super blogger like Kenny Sia and several others. Ok, intriguing. So where do I stand as far as all this bloggers go?
Blogging may be all the rage these days especially in the Malaysian scene. Granted when I pop into blogging a few years back, blogging was still in its infancy (a few years is like millennia, considering the fast pace of online app development!). Back then I started a website about travel, it was a niche topic, doing pretty darn well I should say. But I have more things to say than just happy travelling. So I got myself a blog and started to write about technological stuffs which I like (ok, apart from travel which I also liked, and there are many more things which I like too.) (more…)
Online Bookmarks
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010I’m using a lot of the online bookmark apps provided by the search engines like Google and Yahoo. I also a Delicious account for social bookmarking as well as trying out Google Chrome and Opera synchronized bookmarks. I’m all for using online bookmarks as it has one great advantage over using the browser’s bookmarking ability in that it is rather permanent in comparison and especially useful if
Remove and Get Rid of Feedproxy in Feedburner
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I noticed that some of my RSS feeds from Feedburner have the feedproxy.google.com domain and a long squiggly URL. I would like to remove and get rid of the feedproxy in my feedburner feeds and would much prefer to have the URL with my own domain and the webpage URL link. I also noticed that not all my RSS from my various blogs has this issue. So very likely there was some sort of setting at fault. (more…)
Age of internet
Monday, November 2nd, 2009Internet communication is so important nowadays. You won't know its importance till your connection is down. And that's just t for my office. Somehow the hard line is disconnected and bringing down along with it our broadband connection. We tried to work around it by using dial up. It was just a stop gap emergency method of at least getting some small work done. Since most emails are basically just text it wouldn't require that much speed. However getting a stable connection is another matter. Having to connect and reconnect umpteenth times to send and received has already made me pretty much furstrated and exhausted. So looks like today's productivity would be rather down. Still at least managed to get in some email out. Hopefully the telco will get their act together and get it fixed. They said it would take about 24 hours. Nothing much I can but to wait until they get themselves sorted out. I think somehow the recent storms might have something to do the line down. With the world's weather going to the dogs, I guess it would be just one of those things.
blog anywhere and everywhere
Sunday, July 5th, 2009That's how it goes. When your missus go shopping, well we guys can browse around and window shop for awhile but in the end if we don't have any particular thing to get we end up with nothing much to do. So for those who brought their laptop they get surf awhile. Thank goodness for free wifi hotspot.
