EEEPC, PC Fair is Coming

 yeah, it'll be held at KLCC starting 7th. i want this SHIT! its called, eee pc.

i hate crowded places, pasar malam and cinemas are no exception. but this time, im really looking forward get the retarded eeepc. i guess you'll see me beating an old lady to get one of this.

price? its RM1,300. it has USB, wifi, webcam, speaker, full keyboard, 7" screen and 0.92kg. its a no brainer deal. its a VERY basic computer.

im now weighing my options, mobile or eeepc. get both? i can almost imagine, pulling out this thing for a slide presentation, blogging while tailgating an evo7 or lie to tokwan, that this is actually an alarm clock.

PayPerPost?.. anyone?

did you noticed how 'boom' blog is in Malaysia? my reasons are

• we have no idea how to express our rights as Malaysian Citizen
• we fear of ISA
• get paid for blogging
• or, he/she's just an ass.

you know people like mohdsuhaimy, x5mom, mohdismail etc, these people really do earn a lot from blogging. So I studied their mechanism of money making. (actually this was done years ago, just thought you might want to know)

Advertisement

• Google Adsense – it’s a no brainer. Anyone can copy and paste the script.
• TextAdslinks – similar to Google Adsense, but worthless! The requirement is very high e.g. your Google PR must be 5 and above.
• Nuffnang – young at heart (and age) these guys try to serve ads for local flavors. Aint that easy you know.
• Advertlets – Malaysia’s first ads serving for blog. But still, I don’t see anything good for bloggers. Also Nuffnang’s biggest barrier.

Sponsored Post

• PayPerPost – while making myself feel stupid, I get paid! LoL. I registered for an account because I wanted to test the system and “feel” the workflow. Also, like a cat, curious ;)

Sadly, blogosphere is frustrating by the day. new users sign up, writing about crap (just like me) and some for profiteering. The ones I follow are politics, gadgets and web technology.

The Customary

every year, on my birthday, i will look back and muhasabah, what have i achieved? what do i have?

nothing.
nothing significant.
nothing to prove my worthiness.

somehow, i dont give a damn!

• i have great friends to feed my ego
• my family is supporting what im doing (indirectly)
  
• glad, God granted my "time-out" session
• grateful, that im still breathing and thinking.

to everyone who wished me, may God bless you with a worry-free life. amin.

to that special someone, thanks for giving me a live bullet for my birthday. i just wish i had a gun to shoot you. haha. the present is awesomely emo.

Facebook Make Web Developers Look Cheap

i dont really like to talk about the 'ever great' facebook. but people everywhere is screaming for them. why?

• utilization of AJAX - dude, its 2002 technology. prada site is better.
• social networking - great application, but failed to attract my attention. put it this way, would you rather share your interest over the net or a mamak stall?
• for the 'geeks' - let me ask you, can you get laid over the net? hardly!

the thing about the title, Mshit sponsored $400mil for application development, 2% of facebook total value. so how much is facebook? $20BILLION!! why? remember you keyed in your birthday, location, occupation, school, interest etc, so THEY CAN TARGET BUYERS with specific information. that being said, anything is possible.

not only they make me look cheap, but your salary (RM 1.8k to 6k) look like free chili sauce/kethup at McD (maybe salt).

cool fact? nah, just another infestation.

and so Skali.net Lagi

It will train you and give you a job in the Managed Portal Services (MPS) project, which involves the maintainance and upgrading of the 102 state government and 471 federal government websites.

Skali announced that it was awarded the six-year project, which is worth RM258mil, on Wednesday and has openings for 4,000 graduates in its training programme.

well, i was bummed to see Skali.net get the whole government sector. so lets do some math!

Per month Per department maintenance = 258mil /(102 + 471)(6*12) = RM 6253!

lets see what i can do with a RM6253,

• buy new IBM laptop or Apple Tablet
• umrah trip
• fly to london and bring 2 of my 'ehem2' friends
• pay 3 staffs salary
  
• hire hannah tan or stephanie chia for 2 hours
  
• register 100 enterprises at SSM
• 10 x Gen2 Monthly installment
  
• buy 62,530 bottles of asam taik hidung, war stock.
  

Graduates per site = 4,000/(102+471) = 6.9 person. being the 0.9, kesian, kene cincang.
Hence, RM6253/6.9=RM 906 = graduates salary.

Questions:

1. is 4,000 graduates too much? how bout their workstations?
2. RM906 for salary is enough? then forget about astro, car etc.. naik honda cup je.
   
3. RM 6253 per month is a lot. I only charge 10k at most, that being one time, training and support for a year.
4. will the government site still be hackable? or you still have to download PDF and Docs to browse their page?
5. dont you think this is stupid?

i thought so too. spread the disease...

www.Kahwin2u.net - Goes Web2.0

Part of my undying passion for web is Web2.0. What's cool about it, is that webmaster do less work, users work more. in the old days, it's the other way around. (programmers work more!)

anyway, somewhere mid of ramadhan, kahwin2u was hacked. i couldn't trace who did this, but i'm pretty sure it affected the whole server. i couldn't recover anything. it looked like scramble eggs thrown to the wall. *splat*

nothing really motivates me more than making a come back. so for the last 2-3 weeks or so (during raya), i started coding. i wanted it to be user oriented. the best way was to copy digg.com and stumbleupon.com. the coding alone took roughly 17 days and the design under 1 day. packed with AJAX and PHP, i think i can proudly say that this is my best work so far (in terms of coding).

so interesting comment:

1. the website dont look like a wedding site - agree. i have balls. i do not have feminine taste.
   
2. can i pay to be in your directory? - err.. im already giving you for free, just link you articles in the website. you still want to pay?
   
3. i wish to advertise, so how? - it was released less than a day. no proven result that it'll be successful. later2 i'll call back.
4. copy cat! - ok. so if someone has a blogspot, then a friend followed his footpath, is that copy cat too?
5. can you sell me the whole idea including domain and intellectual property? - errr... i did not documented anything. everything is in my head. maybe in a year or two, ill sell.
6. how come aaa i have to register? - because i dont want spammers on my site la dumb ass.
7. got inbox, can link to gmail or yahoomail? - NO. thats your Private Message box.
8. what is digg, del.icio.us and stumbleupon? - press CTRL+L, type google.com!

p/s: i am a year behind the world wide web. as for general malaysians, id say about 3 to 7 years. yikes!

i hate making forms!!!

babi biawak anjing singe laut kapal api!*&^%$#@ oh deym..

damn i hate making CSS form. i spent close to 7 hours and all i can come up with is this. am i not talented or this thing is friggin hard! cheap ass betul. emo plak.

if you google "korek hidung", tazqirah.com is no1. yes..(no?) . finally ade gak mende nak cheer aku.

malaysiankini.tv

im not so interested in politics, but when our corruption index went up, i think i should look into it.

all day yesterday i went thru malaysiakini.tv. build on ajax tech, i like. the speed and everything feels so right. if you have no time to read, i suggest you go over have a few bumps. you'll love it.

this one particular video i like, about dr.m commenting on kj. "if you would like to see another pm like myself pushed gov to bankruptcy, then you should vote for kj" - dr.m. said something like that.

we cant be ignorant all the time. after all, our tok nenek fought hard to win back msia, so should we.

non-bumi wants to revoke NEP, i say we retract vernacular school. sounds fair? i thought so too.

facebook + myspace + friendster + youtube

yes. it seems rather bloated. but i feel its something we malaysians dont have (or not doing well)

target audience - college students n professionals
objective - to connect everyone from the same school, uni, fac or company
idea - just another social community
problems - youtube is very slow in malaysia. myspace has lots of fake people. friendster isnt that exciting. facebook not so popular in malaysia.
marketing strategy - make handouts leaflet and pass around all the IPT in malaysia.

then? i dont have a good name. can you help me find a good domain name?

i was thinking of
alumni.my - too professional
babila - sounds like a haram site

deym kusut.

Whats the Fuzz About Gua.com.my?

"gua caya sama lu!" thats the tag line. corny but i like it. this is a flame post. go away if you think im being silly.

i heard gua.com.my over the radio, so i told myself, "hey, why not i give it a lookie". the first thing i did when i got to my lappie, i keyed in "gua.com.my"...

wah la~ and error POOPed out. oh ok, maybe they are still fixing it. i corrected my url and hit enter. the correct url is http://www.gua.com.my

Hey Marion ~(would you like to travel to panama with me?) as much as they would like to target teens (or teen-like-adults), this is simply too much. look at it! its hideous, preposterous! have they ever thought that its sooo late 90's design? this is just like the layout korn had in 99. babe, move to web2.0 ala facebook style please. again i give an ample space to improve..

so i clicked over to AMBER CHIA. yummy~ (no way a 24 year old male can resist her). while waiting for page to load i grabbed cookies and milk, it was super slow! upon my return, i faced this error. goodness, i am a web developer, im updated with all these latest tools and gadgets but THIS? ohoo.. maybe i just dont have a flash player (!), i might as well get a dvd player while im at it.

and the final part, a bit technical though, but this is definitely not the way to code. its neither SEO nor SEF, search engine cannot find you. it's open for threat, hacking is so much easier if everything is displayed. it should be like this (below), looking like a dumb .html, but actually .php extension. to any developer, this is the first thing to look into before anything else.

nontheless, you have my utmost respect for being able to air and market on the media network, as expected of media primas' sub. also respect for the up coming shamefulness you will receive.

why am i pissed?well, maybe because i DIDNT get the job! anyway, its a good exercise before i start my webhate.com project (showcasing all the mistakes and bad designs of malaysian web!) ouch, thats gotta hurt.

AJAX Application

Disclaimer: If you dont want to know whats hot from the web oven, feel free to skip this post.

You've probably heard about AJAX or WEB 2.0. They are the one behind myspace, digg, prada, friendster etc and many more. Ajax is not a programming language but actually is. Its a combination of both. Its like HTML. Many argue that its a programming language, to me, it never will be. It's too easy.

What it does?
AJAX plans to work like your desktop application. The part where its fast, clickable and draggable etc. thats not 'it'. its actually more than that. a normal website requires you to click around, wait for the page to load and wahla.. another never ending page. Ajax works to bring you the data before clicking it. Whilst the speed of internet is getting faster, Ajax plans to use the bandwidth lesser. it uses less resource compared to java applet, faster than flash and most importantly, CROSS OVER PLATFORM. so it doesnt matter what IE or firefox you use, it'll work.

How does it help your life?
Ever complain about not enough time? Ajax is the answer. faster than anything else. it simplifies everything. each application is design to give you ease of use. forget about user-friendly, its what i call, childs-play.

The future
Ajax is the future of web. its fantastic. you look at it, you go WOW. Lord of Motherf***** or something like that (at least i would). if you know nuts about html, you better start learning now, at least a piece or two. seriously you need to. (im ashamed to say, im better at reading raw html than the Qoran)

My Plan
I have been thinking about it 2-3 years ago. but somehow these past few months caught me. my workload is like crazy, i have meetings everywhere, my money is short, client havent issued payment, junior asking for job, mom & dad sending me to umrah, adek wants to wrestler with me before bed.. its madness. i came across my black notebook with white cows on it, i realized i have noted so many great ideas from the past (when i was pretty much sane). one of it was, a friendster and myspace clone. there was one point where, "you have to pass this message around if dont want your friendster account to close".. you know, that kinda crap. their earning are from ADVERTISEMENT get it you numb nuts.

XXXXX dot whatever..
just like my many other site like kahwin2u, tazqirah, mckk9600, they are just my flagship to challenge myself and test my-self-developed marketing techniques. all 3 website are doing very well, average hit a month about 3000 unique users altogether. thats a lot.

Next Project
I dont have a name for this project (feel free to suggest the name), but ive already started working on it. Features include MP3 DOWNLOADS, RINGTONES,VIDEO STREAM, BLOG and PHOTOBLOG also FOOD RECIPE! (somehow im gasping for breath when caps). its not cool actually. i copied the ideas of others. kawanla.com? gilelah.com? alamak.com? haimeh.com? no good idea. i was hoping for someone to give some wicked meaningless name like nike, zookuda, meebo but reflects malaysia. oklah. till then.

mckk9600.com dead link!

as expected, mckk9600.com is finally down after a year running. so what has is it achieved?

1. forum - interact minds, sharing stories, funny thoughts, prank and many more.
2. event manager - shares upcoming events .wedding, futsal session, etc.
3. chatbox - 5 mins off after hours of work.
4. email - xxx@mckk9600.com email. talk about highlighting!
5. news - post on latest news about mckk, the batch and whatever related.

guess that pretty much sums everything up. next version would be on joomla! why? because it a whole new thing and i like changes. this time, it'll be jammed with features. eye popping tu sudah pasti!
