For Honour, Loyalty, Trust and Love
I came across the most insane website (at least for me to date), is this GirlFriend Hire. I cannot imagine what the world has come to, but this is completely ridiculous.
After so many years of sticking with Akismet, I remain a satisfied person without worrying that my blog site will be plagued with countless spams. Recalling back when even before I first started on this site, I am already a frequent user of Akismet, but just did not know how long I would stick with it.
Today, it has proven its worth as the leader of Blog Anti-Spam machine. I have even extended its use to forums, such as Simple Machine Forum (SMF), where Akismet could easily be installed with little or not hassle.
Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the organisation for providing a “free” service to end users, like us. Keep the flame burning!

Royston Tan has recently produced a film to create awareness about HIV. Released on March 1st, 2012, the film has gone viral on Youtube. As it is entirely performed in Hokkien, it can only be seen on the internet, in nightclubs, karaoke lounges, and other nightspots. Different people have contributed to the song and lyrics.
This video was done as a community project.
My printer has been down for the past 2 months and I didn’t pluck up the courage to go and get a new one. The previous brand, Brother, was a disappointment. Eventually, I decided I had enough; it is about time I get a proper printer and I made a trip down to Challenger at Tampines One.
I spent about half an hour browsing through the range of printers; knowing I will go nothing except Hewlett Packard (HP). Finally, the mode I have selected is HP Deskjet 3070A.
It comes with wireless functionality; that is, I am able to connect the printer wireless onto the network and print it off without the use of a USB cable. This is very good, especially if I do not have space for the printer next to my PC, or if I want to place the printer on a common place. The other functionality is ePrint, which allows user to print directly to the printer by sending email to the printer via the web. I have not enabled this feature yet, just want to make sure I understood all the security underlying the connection.
A test print demonstrates that the printer is really renowned for its brand. It is good black quality for those black-and-white. Colour wasn’t that photo-graphic, but it’s good enough considering this is a low end printer selling at US$100 off the high street retail store.
From Challenger, I got a $10 discount as a member. Therefore, I applied for a 2-year membership at $30 to get that discount. No, I am certainly not nuts – the clause here states, if I do not get a saving of $50 within the 2 year period, Challenger will refund me $40. You can do the mathematics, it all makes sense.
Initially, I wanted to go for high-end printer, with duplex printing. On second thought, this is good enough for a basic home office printing.
Google AdSense has recently sent me a reminder to advise me on how to improve the success of Ad Crawler on one of my websites that I hosted. It arises when Google detected a couple of failed crawl requests. I guess the reason is because Google is engaging a third party partner to help them work on crawling.
The following advise was given by Google:
Edit the robots.txt file to allow AdSense crawler by adding these two lines to the very top:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
Note, that does not affect or impact the SEO or ranking of the site; but it does provide user with more relevant targeted ads.

A very interesting dialogue was recorded by 2 girls to illustrate the modern parents’ “kiasu” attitude in Singapore.
Well…, what do you think?
