I really need to read up

Friday 8 June 2007 @ 3:43 pm

Honestly people, with the way things are going, even me with a basic Law Degree in International Disputes and Copyright and Interlectual Property Infrigment, I think I can make much more money in the courts with a criminal justice degree in the United States than me being a doctor who is an easy prey for legal lawsuits.

Yes, I do have a BRITISH LAW DEGREE from a very established institution in the UK and unlike in the United States, where you must have first an Honours First Class Degree with a CGPA of 3.5 and above , the UK system is that you embark your LLB after the A Levels GCSE Clearing, some with 3 years and some with 4 years of education before you can go take your Bar. ME? I did an ALA-CARTE, completed mine with 180 Credit Hours which was a mix and match of my Education Postgraduate Degree and a bit of this and that on the Legal System (3 core modules to make sure it’s a Law Degree). 180 Hours is basicly 3 years or so, as you can only earn 60 hours a semester, not a term, but at the Postgrad level, it’s 120 hours a semester limit, and since most of the courses are part time or online, you can add more, if you can take the heat.

At Capella, I was surprised the way things are done are much different than in the UK. Even Canadians have to come and take the papers before sitting at the Bar. Even me, who has a Law Degree in the UK which allows me to practice as a Solicitor in the Commonwealth,Canada etc, needs to take a few additional modules to accustomed to the US Legal System.

I just might as well take them you know..I never know who I need to sue nowadays….get my drift? So, don’t mess with me ya?




Legal Redress

Friday 8 June 2007 @ 3:26 pm

I got a call last night after I posted the thread about what had happened to me with PayPerPost and their so for community from my Legal Affairs Department in New York, pertaining to the remedy towards the action of PayPerPost and their so for called ‘Community’.

Without letting in much information here, what I can recap is that discriminate acts by some individuals or the grouping of such on the web (cronism,gang clans..whatever rite?) are just a form of bullying on the Cyber World, chiding away the target into falling down. What I don’t understand is that what these people want from me? It’s bad enough you guys label me Worst Blogger of All Time at the Bloggers Choice Awards headed by PayPerPost, but is it more painful to them to know that a WORST BLOGGER who does paid posts can earn $6000 in 4 months of effective blogging, when they themselves can’t do so? That really made me thinking, especially when these people have really great blog format, layouts, and content, compared to Dull, Color-blind shades of Grey and a poorly made layout.

So what differs, other than me doing a proper research with due dilligence and I am outspoken and say my mind out loud, without any fear, for it’s MY OWN PLACE??

I did made it clear, I am an open minded person. I work without the need of having fear in me, or to fear no one other than God Almighty. I work without being in fear or intimidation. I will proceed with the utmost arm of the law to protect my own rights.

So, if you have an issue with me, talk to me directly. There is no need to speculate the issues, of what I may or not have been doing. My Details are valid and can be reached by Secured Postal Mail.

As such, I find it disgusting to have me being mentioned by Ted , CEO of PayPerPost during Town Hall Meetings without even having me being there to address the issue. I don’t appreciate that I have to answer my actions to another person or representative. Don’t even think of it. So, if I have done something wrong,let me know so we can rectify the issue, as I don’t cower behind a face that I am not.

So, what does PayPerPost Community so for called to have an issue with? And who are the Community as I don’t join any community at all?!! I’m a lone ranger, Nerd etc..and no one needs to have me as a friend.

I just find this kind of cyber Clans ..very disgusting..more disgusting than the KKK calling a black man a Negro.




Depressing isn’t it?

Thursday 7 June 2007 @ 6:19 pm

The last post about what Karen said with regards to the considerable number of communications made me take my stress management medication. Honestly people, it’s 2AM now and I’m almost dead poofed…and after a long 320KM ride on the bike ..takes a toll on you especially when it’s raining and to come home and read that kind of email, makes me pissed off, more than annoyed which I can normally brush it aside. To say it the least of my concerns is totally untrue as I was warned before for “Resubmitting an Opp which was rejected.”

That I can still take in stride…but to just get a red card without notice and unable to even login and see the post stats or even Blogger Panel is ridiculous. Especially after I made that Terrible Video (I’m redoing it) which I stated what I liked about PPP, that to appreciate the fact that if one like me, WORST BLOGGER (exclude Paris Hilton [or was it PEREZ HILTON..whatever] who don’t blog for money) can earn $6000 in less that 4 months on my buns, (putting some effort to the research of the products which I review without let or prejudice and to update should something else comes up,mind you) means to the rest who are FAR MUCH BETTER THAN ME, in terms of capitalisations, proper graphics added, and nice layout of the blog (rather than my lazy shades of dull gray…thanks to Sapien Bryan) would mean ?

In other words, even people like Diana Tan would be taking far much more than me …if only they get things in order, like breaking down each site into a simpler finely defined themed content blog, and by breaking the context up, they are able to earn more, as they have better opportunities to catch, and thus releasing the PageRank woes, which only means, Pagerank going up, as the site focus and specialises on relevant material to that context only, not haphazardly a jack of all trades like mine, which is a PERSONAL RAMBLING, thus why I said, Geeks Have a Life too you know!

It’s depressing to me, because I have existed the sites and yeah..my blog is a new concept compared to me having Mambo Joomla PostNuke Drupal running everywhere, and the system keep on failing.

It’s really depressing to me now..and I might want to send Karen the Psychiatric Services bill for what she had done to me,for this run of an episode. Yeah… true, I was downgraded permanently in the army by the Medical Board for Psychiatric Reasons (Citing prolonged exposure to the Horrors of War, Genocide and Post Trauma Syndrome as their reasoning). I just hate when this kind of thing happen. Really. Thus is why I said I should be hanging my coat up. Totally from PPP and their Cronism.

Should I people?? Dr GC George? I know this is a great sideline of an income on top of my miserable War Pension….of less than $300 mth! But is it really going to be worth it on my health, especially doing something I like, and have fun…turning to become a real war, in cyberlife?

Those of you who have issues with me, come up and say it loud, Trackback this. Have the balls to state that on your site.Otherwise, don’t keep on running for mommy!




Moving Off

Thursday 7 June 2007 @ 5:39 pm

Yeah..time to reshuffle my cabinet of things..so moving of files etc will take some hassle, so if things go wiery of what you normally see..let me know.

Thanks.




Suspended Activities

Thursday 7 June 2007 @ 5:37 pm

So I got a nice word from Karen Allen, the Director of Love a few hours ago about my activities.

Dear Azrin,

We’ve received a considerable amount of communications from within the PPP community raising concerns relating to your practices as they reflect upon that very same community. We will be researching those today, and have put a temporary hold on your PPP accounts during that time.

Regards,

Karen Allen
Director of Customer Love
PayPerPost, Inc.

Just wondering.. what Practices and WHOSE COMMUNITY? PayPerPost Community? Come off it, I’m just another Rouge User like Nick Leeson who utilises whatever I can on my site. Just because I reworked the Adbrite codes to show more ads, and don’t use Kontera does not mean I snipe opportunities. Heck, I don’t even take any opps other than those I find it befitting my site.

Like I said earlier, that I imposed new sanctions on my own site for advertising news which are considered STALE, meaning NO-FOLLOW after 120 days of each PageRank Exercise update. I do not remove any advertorials or mentions, as I feel that they do deserve to be on my archives.

And like as if people matter much what I say, so much so that I was voted Worst Blogger of All Time was bad enough, being accused of something which I don’t, is another which I do tend to seek legal and criminal redress, under the discriminatory sanctions and unfair trading policies.

My language may be crust, and at times, if I find things bad to me, even though I said good stuff about someone or some product, I will voice out my mind, because this is MY SITE. MY OWN PERSONAL DIARY, and needless to say, whatever I say ..cuz or cos it’s my own place. I paid for my own hosting, and my domains. Nobody else.

Yes, I am evil by leashing out Tags which are headaches. But it’s worth the time doing stuff, because, not of the monetary compensation but of the way traffic builds up and searches to your site. That is worth more than any compensation.

So, if you got issues with me, SUE ME. But be prepared to be grilled by me and the team should you chose to do so. My Contact Details are always there, and I DON’T CHEAT. Something in the code of ethics book that I will not do. I’m no slutty,sex lies and whatever nots gossiper, so likewise, respect my space as I respect yours.




A new Payment Method

Thursday 7 June 2007 @ 9:18 am

Hate Paypal? The more the reasons you should use alternative payment terms like ALERT PAY from a company based in Quebec in Canada, which charges cheaper than Paypal.

The rates?

Personal Account : $1.00 Per Transaction
Premium Account : 2.5% + $0.25
Secured Account : 3.9% + $0.59

To send money is free, but 5% charge if done by credit card.

To Withdraw they charge the following rates:
4% by E-Gold
$2.50 by check
$0.50 by Bank Transfer

To add funds to your account,
They charge $20 per incoming Wire, or 5.5%+$0.25 per E-Gold transfer , 5% by Credit card and free by Bank Transfer or by Money Order.

They are just like a Moneybookers, but cheaper in my view. Simple.

Join in. And I get only $5 referal if only you send/receive $250 or more accumulated..so I’m just promoting for the sake of an alternative payment.




Watch Out!

Wednesday 6 June 2007 @ 7:41 pm

Hey… I did warn you guys earlier …think was last month when I told you there is an aftermath of my Evil Travel Tag , in which you were tagged for writing about some place you WANTED to go, and with all the juicy pictures of the destination.The objective was, to gain more friends and pagerank which alot of you did reap the fruits of your labour. We all visited each other, and then see if we mistakenly tagged someone who did it already, or got the $10 penalty kick for not doing it on time. I know alot of you left it be, as it’s only 5 people.

This time, it’s even worse. Far Worse that that evil tag, because…

1) You need to find at least SEVEN souls.
2) You need to describe why …in more details, with 300 words or more…preferably 500.
3) You need to sticky 5 pictures…. (simple)
4) The Destination must NOT BE IN THE STATE YOU ARE IN, for Brits, it’s Anywhere outside the country (not county), like if you live in London, then England is out (sorry Man U / Liverpool Fans) but you could write about Scotland,Wales, Ulster or Rep of Ireland or Isle of Man etc.
5)…..and to make it evil, I think it’s fun to know more people you don’t know by …tagging people whom you don’t know at all, strangers etc, at least one.

As always, no plagarism, don’t be lazy because we love to see your footsteps, and no virtual Final Fantasy or Star Trek Delta Quadrons or what nots! And visit everyone who joined in..and trackback and comment on me..so I can also pop by..and others can too!

This is a warning..so if you chicken out..you are sure to be a hit by the bad press. You can tag anyone in any language (english, Malay, PY Mandarin, French, but do translate the terms properly) as it’s fun knowing places..so we can know where the best spots to be.

I know there are Meme or Tags about best foods, or Best Eating places, so this is something else better. And to make it abit interesting, Hotel Reservations is willing to spot you a few dollars on the PayPerPost site..if you want to add some hotel or places you stayed which are featured in their network.

For your time, I am spotting you your first month Hosting and Domain at Hostgator thru my Free Hosting Offer, and if you continue till the 2nd mth , I’ll even pay for that too! That’s over $20 in goodies.Domains are handled by me.
