About Love it! Turn
2008-04-12 18:54:00
Love it! is a website which belongs to… errr… I don’t know! It only has the word ‘Turn ’ in the ‘About’ section. Should we have more than one word in ‘About’ section? For me I would say ‘yes’ because I will use the section to at least explain the brief history or copyrights of the website. But by having only one word in the ‘About’ section, it makes it very unique and secretive. The word chosen also make you wonder what he or she meant by it. The word ‘Turn’ to me is like asking me to turn back and read more in the previous page. And it also tells me there is nothing else in here… but it makes me wonder and want to know more… I don’t want to leave yet before getting an answer. But if you choose to ‘Turn’, there are mixtures of contents in the front page like education, movies, life, facts, sports and many more. And the website design… emmm… something very simple but tidy… not like mine. Simplicity makes ...

Network File System (NFS)
2008-04-11 18:27:00
After searching for answer from the net, I found one which somehow explains what might have gone wrong with my website yesterday… it’s in my previous posting. You see, all of us are accessing our website’s files from the server across the network. And we might be using Network File System (NFS) which is a network file system protocol. NFS allows us to access the files freely as if they are attached to our local disks. It explained NFS has mechanisms to help it cope with error conditions. But what happen to my two folders yesterday? It went deadlock. No one have access to it. I think this is where the Stale File Handles was used to fix the two problematic folders by un-mounting and re-mounting the whole devices in my website services through service restart by the 24×7 support team.

Aaahhhhhhh… die lah!.. die lah!..
2008-04-11 15:39:00
So many talks about upgrading to Wordpress 2.5 experienced flying around the net. I had a ‘tense’ experience when I upgraded my snapshots yesterday. I started around 6.00pm by trying to rename the folder containing the website contents. But it gave me error! I tried a few more times but it still gave me the same result. I was planning like this… once I renamed the website folder, I will upload the new version to the right folder. But that was hampered by the error encountered every time I tried to rename the folder. I called Ben, to ask him if he had upgraded his website. He had but did encounter a problem. But it’s not the same as mine!!! At the end, I took the drastic step… I dropped a BOMB by DELETING the folder’s contents! If you are not sure what I mean, I was actually deleting the website’s contents! During the deleting process then only I found out there are two folders giving error. I believe these are the causes I can’t rename the master folder. I ...

Attractive website design equal to better traffic
2008-04-10 18:35:00
The designs of a website do have major effect on the viewer. It can make the viewer stay longer or come back again for more visit to the website. It also plays roles whether the viewer will spread the news about the good design of the website to their friends. Of course the contents of the website also play major roles on those issues. But why do we really want to make our website design attractive? One reason is, we want our website to be unique or attractive so it gets more attention and at the same time drive more internet traffic to it. The more internet traffic directed to the website, the better rank position it will get in term of search engine ranking. Most of the time, search engine ranking is treated as critical since it is used to determine the popularity of the website. That is why search engine marketing services are available out there to help improve the website’s search engine position. But search engine rank sometimes doesn’t tell the whole truth. When a particu...

Went to check if the Canon EOS 400D is ready at Investline Sdn. Bhd. during lunch time today. We sent it for fixing last month. Look like it’s not ready yet.

A small gift from Hewlett-Packard
2008-03-26 18:39:00
We are a very heavy user of Hewlett-Packard products especially their laser printers. We have to buy lots of consumable every year. But the good thing is, they have some kind of loyalty program called Hewlett-Packard Original Rewards. Every original consumable such as toner or cartridge we purchase will carry special codes. When the codes are registered on the web, it will give points. Last month I have about 40K points expiring from a total of about 100K points. I must exchange the points with goods offered. So after browsing through the good offered, I settled for one product which will cost me about 75K points. Last year, I’ve used about 45K  and 7K points for 2.5L Unbreakable Stainless Steel Pump Pot and Humboldt 12 in 1 Pocket Knife in Double Blister Pack. On Monday, I received my 75K point’s gift from Hewlett-Packard. PRINCESS Classic Grill, Fondue & Steamer. Now, I can cook myself
