How to test your Website Online (Worldwide)?

Teh Theng Heng — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 12:47:34 +0000

This is a must tool for webmasters!

I find it very useful under the following circumstances:-

When your clients tell you that their site is down (kena before!)
When your web hosting (technical support) says that there is nothing wrong with your website (kena before!)
When you have a newly setup website live
When moving to a new web hosting

This is a site where you can purchase designer greeting cards online.

What I like about this site:

currently the site has around 70 greeting cards to choose from
it is only USD 2.00 per card
you buy 4, you get free 1
for designers, you can submit your designed cards to earn royalties and even prizes. The site has regular contest for submission.

they have a fan site at facebook

What I would recommend:

it would be a great buzz to have greeting cards for the coming Hari Raya season soon. *a bit too late now*
have a contest for the upcoming Christmas greetings / New Year greetings

It is a site worth visiting!

My First Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

Teh Theng Heng — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:20:00 +0000

Recently (16 April, 2008) I got myself a set of new wireless keyboard and mouse from Microsoft.

The model was Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000. I got it from Low Yat’s Thunder Match store for RM 75.00.

There is another store who is selling around RM 95.00, talk about good bargain!

Anyway, the box says the battery life can last about 6 months. Being a heavy user, I’m will track how long it would last. Cheers!

[Updates]
May 23, 2008 - Using the provided Energizer batteries, no problems so far.
Jul 09, 2008 – My wireless mouse battery just got weakened, resulting no connection to my notebook. [ 3 months ]

I signed up for PayPerPost!

Teh Theng Heng — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 15:14:20 +0000

Have you ever pondered, how can you earn extra moo-lah(money) from the comfort of your own home, simple and easy? I pondered that same question from time to time until this site called PayPerPost. So I decided to try PayPerPost out for myself.

I signed up payperpost in end of June 2007. PayPerPost is an advertising website whereby you, as a blogger, write about web sites, products, services, and companies and earn cash for providing your opinion and valuable feedback to advertisers, and get paid. I got to know about PayPerPost from my former college teacher.

It has been two months now, and I was amaze how much I can earned as a side income. There are lots of things you can learn from PayPerPost, such as:

earning extra moo-lah (income)
getting to know other Malaysian bloggers, such as HongKiat.com, 5xMom.com
higher rankings in Technorati, Alexa, and MyBlogLog
getting more website visitors
I blog more often
improvement in my English grammar (thanks!)
my blog Search Engine Optimization improved

The downside of this site, is that you probably need to get your writeup approved before you get your money. It’s a bit time-consuming as the length it takes is around 1 months time. Other enhancements I would recommend for Asian countries, is that to have an email alert whenever there are new opportunities.

So go and sign up now!

Driveway – Online File Sharing

Teh Theng Heng — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 04:53:01 +0000

Driveway – Online File Sharing

Driveway is a free web based service for online file sharing.

What makes it different from the other online file sharing?
Email systems like gmail have limits on file sizes (typically 10MB etc..) you can use as attachments; With Driveway, you can overcome that limit by using driveway links for files up to 500MB in size! Wow!

My Review:
We reviewed and tested the upload and download functionalities.
Using a speed bandwidth of 1MB Download, & 384K Upload, we did a test uploading and downloading a 4.3MB file.

Results:
Uploading - It took us approximately 4 minutes 10 seconds to upload this file using a 384K speed bandwidth. For a 500MB upload, one might need to take 8 hours or more. Talk about how lucky we are in Malaysia as a consumer.

Download - With a 1MB speed bandwidth, this is much faster, approximately 40 seconds. For a 500MB download, this means a duration of approximately 1 hour or more. That’s good.

Overall, our results varies, but Driveway is a way if you have difficulties sending large attachment over to your friends / clients.
This save your time and hassle tweaking your Email software / Webmail. High Recommended.

Image excerpt from koolwire.com

This site is pretty good in converting your electronic document into PDF format. Plus, it does not add their ads or logos inside the document, unlike other freeware that I've encounter.

All you need to do is email to koolwire, and the pdf file will be sent to you.
