To boost Malaysia’s broadband penetration, four Malaysian telco has been licensed last year by the Malaysia government to roll out WiMAX services in the nation, namely Bizsurf, Packet One Networks, Asiaspace Dotcom and Redtone-CNX Broadband. After much waiting and delays, WiMAX are expected to be roll out real soon, as being reported to be in the third quarter of 2008.
I love both the penguin and polar bear. Monday might not be as bad to me like the polar bear, but Friday is definitely a rocking day.
I was not a great fan of Samsung Mobile, although my very first phone was a Samsung (N620) back then when I was 11 or 12. My second phone was a Nokia 3100, and I’m with a Sony Ericsson K800i now.
Today, I was given a chance again to try out Samsung Mobile via BlogMob, something done by Mobile World together with Samsung itself. 16 bloggers was selected to try out one of the two new Samsung phones for a month, namely i450 and i550w, and I’m one of the 16.
Dell is probably jealous of all the attention that MacBook Air gets, and have launched something to compete it. Something meaning, erm, watch it yourself:
Spotted this new arrangement for one of the large rectangle AdSense unit on one of the post on this blog. It looks like having four small rectangle unit (180×150) jam together in one large rectangle. I took a screenshot of it:
It do not looks too bad to me, other than a little messy. But I guess it is just like what other test AdSense have done previously—let’s see if they will make this official.
If you hated Internet Explorer so much, and have too much time doing nothing — you can consider making a voodoo doll of Internet Explorer and poke it whenever you are boring. Have a look at the end result:
Found this picture on about:blank, and found the tutorial on chisa’s deviantART by Googling. Looks like an IE6 icon to me, but you can simply add a golden ribbon on it to upgrade it to IE7. Pretty neat.
Of course the figure above is not accurate, but you can still get the idea on how many germs there are on your keyboard taking the quiz. There was once a report claiming that a keyboard have way more germs than toilet seats.
There was also a computer cleaning week running earlier on this year encouraging computer users to spend some time cleaning up their workspace, especially the germful keyboard and mouse. Take the quiz and let’s see who have the most germs on their keyboard.

Legally, and directly from PayPal, provided you have a MasterCard or Visa card. I am not sure when is this being implemented, but it is definitely a good news for our fellow Malaysians that have been struggling to withdraw their PayPal funds all these while.
To withdraw, login to your PayPal account, click on the “Withdraw” link on the navigation bar. You will see two options then, choose “Transfer funds to your card” and enter your credit or debit card information. Enter the amount you want to withdraw ($500 maximum daily) and wait for around a week to receive the fund.
Wayne, the one who tip me on this tried using his AmBank NexG Prepaid Credit Card but failed. Irene however succeeded in it and is waiting for the fund now, shall be reporting in a week.
It cost $5 per withdraw, so it is wiser to save up your PayPal funds to a decent amount before withdrawing. All you need now is a credit card, with a Visa or MasterCard logo on it, except for AmBank NexG card which will not work. Say good bye to your VMI Card, Accent Card or just whatever card that you use previously to withdraw your fund, that will cost you bombs withdrawing.
Thanks Wayne again for the tip.
Finally, I have upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.3 from the previous version of 2.1. I skipped 2.2 for I have difficulties with it, errors keep popping up so I thought I would just replace my backup files and stay with 2.1.
File overwriting all went smooth while upgrading to WordPress 2.3, but it went a little wrong when I visit the upgrade page and clicked on the “Upgrade” button. It shows a few lines of errors, but I just ignore it anyway. Later when I revisit the blog, it shows nothing but a line of error, again. It was due to a plugin that I previously deactivated before overwriting those files, activate it again and the blog is back.
I have a feeling that the new version works faster, not sure how true it is though, might just be my imagination. AdSense Deluxe is not working well in this version. The ads are still showing in the old post, but the drop down menu in the “Write” page is missing. It will only be back if you save the draft and continue editing it, it’s alright I guess as long as it is not missing forever. It has been a year since the author of AdSense Deluxe update his plugin.
With the previous 2.2 upgrade nightmare, I’m a little nervous during the upgrade just now. Just pray hard hoping everything will work fine while waiting for those files to overwrite. Things are all working fine now however. If you encounter any bugs or problems, please let me know. Thank you.
Update: Noticed another thing. The incoming links on the dashboard has been changed from Technorati to Google Blogsearch.
