To heck with it!

Wednesday 7 March 2007 @ 5:07 pm

I know I don’t get that much traffic and I get personal at times. But then, THIS IS MY PERSONAL WEB LOG, and I don’t give a piss about what others think. It’s My Diary, what I think , do or even plan. Just like a filofax but personal and public. It’s just like anyone stopping by a house on the roadside, it’s THAT PERSONS’ HOME. You don’t go about telling him how to live his life, or what color to paint, and where he can park his car. It’s his personal space.

So to think I have to sell my own creature comfort just to accomodate some people, and that I have some ads I want to promote they don’t like, I say to em, F**K IT! Darn lucky I was not like some Ah-Lian middle aged mom who wanna get her time famous and cuss and swear in any language she likes. I don’t say P*K*-M** or cuss your mom. It’s just not right. There is a level of decency here , how crude I am or rude I was in the Army.

Yes, I was looking thru my written log of my life in the Army. We swear is a Standard Operating Procedure.A way of life when we don our uniform, but not when we took it off and wear a PT-KIT or Half-U. We are human then, Men with Brains. A creed over others. Civilian Discipline kicks in, and even with our Lt-Col of a useless CO, we become friends. Human nature. Yes our boss yet a friend when not in Green. Otherwise, he is our Enermy.

So coming back to the point of allowing advertiser to twist my tongue and allow myself to be bent that way, I saw HELL NO. You ain’t paying me enough to contravene my basic Human Rights and I am darn contemplating on taking a class Criminal Action for being Biased and Discriminant. Take against the company that pays your paycheck and you as a person. It’s a human thing. Irregardless of how I write down here, my ads has nothing to do with you. MY PERSONAL SPACE. You are just paying me for 200 words TOPS! That’s a 300px by 15 collumn advertising.

You don’t go to a paper placing a classified ad and tell them after it is published that you don’t want to be listed next to the obituaries. You tell them BEFORE placing it. Same as how I place my ads. I place my Google and Adbrite Contextual ads on the side of my post so it comes as a premium, and when you give me the full attention to reply to my ramblings, you see the more targetted ever colorful, dermographically specified advert relating to that kind of service, which pays me more. It’s a relevancy thingy.

Just like if any O’ Advertiser wanna tell Wal-Mart that they don’t want their Snickers to be placed next to the Marlboro Ads near the Tills. That is a PREMIUM SPACE for product awareness, and just like any o shopper, they will see that product for a good 30-60 secs before paying for their shopping, and most likely to buy it!

Same concept applies in any Textual Advertising. The prime spot is my post itself. A good mention plus any other images. But if you think the advertiser beside you (google) is a competitor, I can just shut it off, if you SPECIFY BEFORE HAND! Not by any other cranny nookie!~

I spend most of my time tweaking the PHP codes and PHP takes alot of effort. I want the best for any advertiser so their SEO ranks go up and along with their backlink, I am taking a cruise.

So, it’s a matter of trying to kill that walking salesman BEFORE ASKING HIM TO PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT. How silly is that? I had over 300 odd posts within the last 90 days and NO ONE COMPLAINED. I even got praises and recommendations by them as a TESTIMONIAL to their great job (and I get a good link back too thus the PR 7 on a site) so events says otherwise.

Yeah, so I am a small fry, and I am full of ideas. To hell what you think.I thought so.

Just wondering, will you take off your GOOGLE and ADBRITE ADS if PPP says so?Will you still be a postie?




More Upgrades

Saturday 10 February 2007 @ 4:31 pm

Don’t say I DID NOT WARN YOU!
I am about to embark on my biggest project ever.

What to expect? Alot of downtime, for sure,cos mainly, I’m the only person doing all these stuff.Basicly, alot of factors made me do this.

1) Powweb Servers rental are due. They are not giving us the great deal as before. $7.77 was the deal, with buy one year, get 6mths free… and I took the 2yr get 2yr free. That is still active on the Perkahwinan.Org server. I’m going to remove all that, and port it to another single entity. I have 3 servers there, and there are are two which is under utilised and nearly to it’s end of the prepaid term. So , in order to renew, it’s $200 each, and it’s not worth it. I better put it to good use and renew the domains instead.

Their servers are getting VERY SLUGGISH nowadays, so I think it’s time to port out!Too much problems.

2)Hostgator Server 51 *(NS101) is on the Pre-Upgraded set. So, I am stuck with 5GB Space…and 75GB Bandwidth, whereas the newbies get 100GB space and 1,000GB *(that’s One Terrabyte!) Bandwidth. I have noticed that this server is getting sluggish and since the time we got banned due to a script error. So I did not want that to happen, and killed ALL of my sites, thus I took on more, with one I got for 1c on the first month. It’s silly, and I can say, it’s a real hassle!

But it works like a wonder! At least I can get things done properly, with PPP giving me a hit on the head for some work!

3)My Photo Galleries software are out of date, and so I took a new licensing for TWO new sites and a Photo based Advertising Gallery. That will be on my Free Property Listings - UK Edition. It’s a EBAY Style listing, and Foruming all in one. I will be working on it abit more, cos the previous marketplace I installed, well…sucked! Open Realty also has ALOT of limitations. I don’t want a vB based Job Marketplace…like Powweb did…..nor I want something on Ruby-on-Rails which I don’t even know head from tail! I will work on this once I learn new tricks and when my Linux machines come back to me. At least I can crash and trash it for all I care.

4)For the time being, it’s a one man show, less Mommy Tia & Co, in the world of Technology.My old operations have cease due to alot of problems I don’t even want to get into details.It sucks, and I hate to part with my friends who are my co-workers. So, if you want to work on this project with me, fine, as it’s quite promising, especially on the advertising aspect of things.

There will be more…but do understand if any of the network sites have an issue, it’s probably me doing something in the back…again!

Best Wishes.

Magazines

Thursday 1 February 2007 @ 5:51 pm

I love my magazine subsciptions, like Newsweek, Autoweek and those IT and GEEKY stuff that we tend to get from the newsagent. Trouble is the newsagent’s prices are nowhere near these prices offered by Magazines Direct, as much as 90% off for Autoweek ( $24.95 compared to $250 retail!)

Even PC Magazine is offered for $34.97 compared to $109.78 for 22 retail issues. That is dirt cheap! And $10 for wired? TEN BUCKS MY FRIEND!!

That is a real deal!~

So head on down and give them a go, cos it’s worth it!With over 1300 magazines to choose from, you are given a 100% money back guarantee. They even ship to military bases at no extra charge!

Try it!




Email Marketing

Thursday 1 February 2007 @ 3:43 am

I have to embed a video thru YouTube today thanks to MindComet’s Email Marketing promotions.

Yes, I have a bit of a problem with the YouTube for a while, and this is the icing on the cake!

EMAIL:
Easy Mail and Internet Links.

Everywhere can email, even Email to SMS. And that’s a problem now with Malaysia’s slow ISP.
Now, how am I gonna upload a 3GP video up again?I’ll do it when I wake up in a minute. I’m sick, remember?

Tia…. you killed the camera

Saturday 27 January 2007 @ 2:47 pm

Oh OH!
Tia killed the Fuji FinePIX S3500 Semi Professional Zoomed Camera.
Well, my fault, cos I forgot to shut the door properly..and being Tia…loved to play.

The camera….now is dead. Cracked lens.

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/btAlJ-kNPK8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Well, Something gone wrong. If you have problems hearing the sound, download it directly here and play it on Quicktime. it’s on 3GPP !

Thanks for coming! and HP, We really want that camera…please. Well, Tia wants it.Tia needs it. Tia will post more pics with it. Please.

Tia promise to be good. Really Good.

and this no paid post….supposed to be one for PPP but ….we missed it!




Heh heh heh…

Wednesday 24 January 2007 @ 4:50 pm

Something is a bit X-Rated.
Well, kinda, when you think along the lines and how did I manage to destroy my Super King Divan Set (just the Divan) which we bought in 2003 from the Co-Op in High Street Gillingham, Kent.

Well, the mattress is still A-OK, *(10 years warranty on that) ,but with a Super King bed, I need new Divan, thus I hit upon Best Choise Furniture offering cheap divan bed.

So, all I want is a new Divan with the drawers OK.

Well,there is a huge range of Divan I want, and I thik, I have to give the Divan a miss instead and opt for the Brass ones, cos, it’s about £300 quid , which is as much as what we paid for the whole set.
Hmmn, can U do a flat pack, so I can ship to Malaysia?? heh heh heh.

Maybe with the Four Poster Bed, but they don’t do in Super King. and Super King is 6″6′ x 7″…which is HUGE!

Hmmmn…. Let me think…
I sure need a new one….

And if you are thinking dirty, yeah…kinda…cos of that, we have Tia…and Now…tia Loves to jump up and down the bed.

And, THEY TAKE PAYPAL!! Yes…so I can use my PPP earnings for this. Yes!
Have a look..k? I mean it!

So , OK, I was a bit nasty….but seeing this every night does you to the bed…
Like what I was .

To the PPP: Does this fancy the post abit?

Well, surely she will love to be lying down on this nice four poster bed, so comfy and stylish.

4 poster bed

Well now, don’t get your mind all wet up, cos we are here to talk about beds, and I’m not talking about Beds Direct or Heli-bed, the Same Day Delivery guys just off the back door at my home in Chatham,Kent. Their beds are VERY STUDY, unlike those cheapskate ones at Bensons for Beds (Yes I worked as a Delivery HGV Driver there for Brook Street). These ones are really study cos I know it perfectly. Imagine having to put a load of 200KG on the Single Bed …plus we 4 blokes jumping up and down? Sure Praaak! Right?? Nay..it still stands firm.

Anyway, give em a calling, cos it’s covered by a 30 day money back warranty!

I give them a PayPerPost’s 5 Tacks! Cos I tried it before. Honest.




A tribute to…

Wednesday 24 January 2007 @ 9:34 am

Peter Belisi, from Belisi.Com
Who inspired me , that a person can really look great and smart, despite all the shortfalls.
Like what Donald Trump told me once, that if you have something worth a billion bucks, is not worth a million bucks until you look like you have that Billion Dollar Look.

Peter Belisi is one who makes one really feel special, and his previous works on the web, is an amazing step. Yes, he was a Bar Man, and now, he is in a cliche market. Designer in his own class. I did a few reviews before, about him, and his suggestions of how to look great, and took to it. While some was, unfortunately, unpaid due to technical aspects, I will still hold to these posts. Cos it’s a small token to the education in styling.

Like what I read on his sidebar…
Faux Handbags
What to Look for in Knock Off Designer Handbags
What should I look for in knock off designer handbags?

Thanks to knock off designer handbags, every woman can carry a Prada or a Gucci or a Coach purse. If Fendi is your style, look for a Fendi replica handbag. If Cartier is your dream, you can find a knock off Cartier bag that will fit your wallet and your style. Knock off designer handbags are available on the Internet and at discount stores. Be sure you don’t fall for a bad deal though. Keep in mind that you are still paying for a purse that needs to stand up to some wear and last you at least a full season. So check that your knock off purse is made with sturdy materials and precision seams. If you see loose threads and thin patches in the lining, opt for a different replica hand bag. Just because you are paying less than designer prices for a purse does not mean that you should settle for shoddy craftsmanship. Even knock off designer handbags can be long-lasting and attractively made.

So meaning, if my wife wants that Knock Off Price bag, get it for her…and means, a bag a season. Hmmmn. Great ideals.

Off to Padang Besar then for me, where I get a replica for peanuts.
