4 Benefits of Surfing Anonymously
2007-03-19 03:22:00
Lately, I have been using proxy servers to surf anonymously into controversial websites. Most of them are NSFW(Not Safe For Work) websites. Below are 4 main reasons why surfing anonymously is good. Added Security: Many Proxy Servers have filters that provide added security to the person that accesses websites through the server. As a consequence, malicious spyware and adware is stopped at the server and does not reach your PC. This provides additional security to firewalls and adware blocking software that may be installed on the PC, reducing to almost zero the possibility of unwanted attacks on your computer. Hiding your IP address: The first piece of information that is retrieved from any computer that accesses a website is its IP address. An IP address is assigned to you by your ISP(Internet Service Provider) whenever you are surfing the web and this information, along with other data, can be retrieved from any website that has intentions of following a surfer’s habits...

Aluminium foil is not only used to wrap food. It can also be used to : Keep pets off furniture Can’t keep Snoopy off your brand-new sofa? Place a piece of aluminum foil on the seat cushions, and after one try at settling down on the noisy surface, your pet will no longer consider it a comfy place to snooze. Protect a child’s mattress As any parent of a potty-trained youngster knows, accidents happen. When they happen in bed, however, you can spare the mattress — even if you don’t have a plastic protector available. First, lay several sheets of aluminum foil across the width of the mattress. Then, cover them with a good-sized beach towel. Finally, attach the mattress pad and bottom sheet. Clean jewelry To clean your jewelry, simply line a small bowl with aluminum foil.

2007-03-14 08:22:00
Sim Lock is the capability built into GSM mobile phones for service providers to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and network providers. Mobi le phones can be locked to only accept SIM cards from specific : Countries (your phone will work in Singapore, but not Thailand) Network providers (T-Mobile, Maxis, Vodafone, Singtel, etc) Service providers (another name for network providers) SIM types (only specific SIM cards can be used with the phone). Virtually all mobile phones are shipped with country and network provider locks, firmware installed on them which is specific to the network provider.

Are you a spender or a saver?
2007-03-13 03:39:00
Since Nov 2006, I have been a saver. Choosing to make it out on my own rather than to be an employer, I have learned so much in managing my funds. I have learned to budget my monthly food, gas and entertainment spendings. I have also learned to set aside 10% of my earnings as savings for the future. The future where I will be using loans to get my houses and cars, learn more about mortgages, buying insurance for my family and saving properly in the bank. Here are a list of basic things that I know about handling money together with links to Thriftyscot from UK, a plain-speaking, money-saving advice site. Loans I know that most personal loans charge fixed interest rates. This means that our monthly repayments stay fixed throughout the life of our loan, which helps with budgeting. I know that unlike a mortgage, an unsecured personal loan isn’t secured against our home, which means that our home isn’t at risk if we have trouble making our repayments. I know that to compa...

The Credit Card Effect
2007-03-12 08:57:00
The term ‘credit card’ simply means ‘issuer lending money to the consumer’. A credit card company allows the consumer to ‘revolve’ their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. I had 2 credit cards before but threw them away because I realized that it has no value to me. To me, is more con than pro. Anyways, I’ve listed the pros and cons of a credit card and how it affects the general public. Pros Extremely Convenient It is small and easy to use. All you need to do is just hand it over to the cashier, check the amount credited and sign. Safer than carrying around a lot of cash. If you ever get robbed, all you need to do is just dial your credit card company and block your credit card. That’s it! An extra source of money in emergency situations. Since I stopped using my credit cards, I had difficulties during days when I forgot that I had little cash in my wallet. It happened once when I went out on a date and had to ask...

I personally feel that the best way to learn is from mistakes. Today I learned what makes a website look good. The ability to differentiate good and bad can only be gained through experience. Below are 6 websites redesigned by Ben Hunt of Scratchmedia. He did a great job and we shall learn from the experienced. See the contrast through the before and after pictures. Fink Before After Simplified logo for a clearer, stronger message. Charles Darwin’s picture gives the site a ‘wise’ feel. The website is further simplified by the 2 column layout. Readability is improved with a solid introductory block and a clear heading. Secondary features like the language selector is moved to the lower left to keep the content of the main section relevant. Moraware Before After Software is branded separately from the company name to give it a distinct identity. Important benefits are highlighted in bold. A ’software box’ gives the software a sense a professio...
