Surfing unrelated or unofficial sites during office hours are considered illegal… coz you are abusing the company or government properties.

And getting caught surfing porno live on national TV is something you don’t want to happen… at your life time 😛

A guy, employee of Sydney’s Macquarie Bank in Australia was not surfing or viewing any officials materials… or surfing a regular health sites like www.darkeyecircle.org… but he was caught viewing porn materials in his office… and it was done live on national TV!!!…
The live financial news about the current interest rates caught the employee at the background while his colleague, Martin Lakos, a Macquarie Private Wealth, was giving his analysis live on TV.

But in my opinion, the guy was not surfing any porn websites… in the video, you can see him viewing at least three sexy pictures… a static pictures and not videos… and by looking at what he was doing, I believe his active screen was a mail client program… probably Microsoft Outlook… and I believe he is reading one of his email… and the email has attachments… and you can see him double clicking the picture… the attachment… and a sexy picture will appear on his whole screen every time he do that…

So, in my opinion, he is not really at fault if he was just reading his mail… and unfortunately, someone sent him a nasty email… or should I say a tasty email… so logically, he has to check his emails and of course check the contents… the attachments… the sexy photos… that’s it… case closed…

Did you all read the news about the incident on Tuesday, 10 February 2009, in Siberia sky? The US and Russia are trading shots at each other right now!!! Man, it’s going to get bigger soon if they don’t stop it. It will turn into Star Wars and not World War Three! . . . Continue Reading »

When I came home from Journey around Sabah on Friday, I thought one of my PC’s RAM is broken because the system’s message keeps on popping up telling me my PC is low with system memory! Crap… don’t tell me one of my 2GB RAM is broken.

After cleaning up the temporary and history files, then cleaning the registry… then tweak here and there… at last the message is gone. Yes, my RAMs are OK. The most logical reason why the message was popping up is because of the latest Windows update related to the serious security flaw in the Internet Explorer.

Then Kota Kinabalu City is also in major traffic jam on that Friday. The next day news said, it was caused by the combination of early payday and the ongoing Badminton World Foundation Super Series Master Final which started that day until today (Sunday).

Then on Saturday, the breaks of three submarine cables which link Europe and the Middle East caused disruption to the internet and international telephone services in parts of the Middle East and South Asia.

This made the internet at crawling speed or in non-existence state but not as bad as last time, when 7 out of 8 submarine cables near Taiwan breaks after they were hit by earthquakes. The Taiwan earthquake triggers a “digital tsunami” in Asia on that time.

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 particular website is ranked high or better, sometimes a website with the same concept which has a poorer search engine rank has a better contents or popularity in reallity. So now, it is up to you whether you want to improve your website’s search engine ranking or get busy putting more better contents to your website and make its design more attractive.

I was blog hoping for the past few days and I notice some are working hard promoting their website or blog. But did they ever think of advertising their blog on the TV? So far I have not seen any blogger advertising their blog on TV. If any of them wants to advertise through Direct Response TV or DRTV service, they definitely will need a TV advertisement production team to do it.

But what exactly Direct Response TV is? DRTV is actually a commercial or infomercial shown on TV which try to convince viewers to buy the product or service they are promoting. They will urge the viewers to respond immediately to their advertisement. OK, by now you should be able to tell what Direct Response TV is all about.

If you ever receive any reminder from any of your online account like PayPal, make sure it is not a phishing email.

If it is a phishing email, and you login to your account by clicking the links provided… you are DOOM.

You are not login in to the real site but at a phishing site… they try to fish you by fishing you!.. and you eat their bait!

When the link provided clicked, it will bring you to a very long URL.

http:// adsl-69-155-94-28.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net/paypal.com/webscr.php?… (it’s very long but i shorten it… same with the rest)

Then you will be redirected to another site….

http:// 83.38.2.105/paypal.com/index.php?cmd…

Notice the http:// 83.38.2.105/paypal.com/…

Yea, looks like it belongs to paypal.com

Phishing always put the ULR like this. In actual fact, the site is not http:// paypal.com but http:// 83.38.2.105

Here, the paypal.com is the subdirectory of http:// 83.38.2.105, so it is not http:// paypal.com site.

Another example from http:// numenmail.com which always come to my inbox saying I won $400

http:// numenmail.com.l-pages.l-prize_center.php.l-id.8d.5k.nq.tq.rv.s3.lang.in/whois.php?…

Always look for the first slash ‘/’ to start interpreting the URL…  this site belongs to http:// lang.in

The next time you see a long URL, make sure the first part is the site you really going to… check to the left from the first /

The PayPal phishing email I received today: . . . Continue Reading »

Right now, two of my blogroll links are not working… it has been like that for more than 3 days. No, it is not my fault… and it is not my blog’s coding fault either.

It’s because they thought they had bought the best web hosting service provider on the planet. Their web hosting is having some kind of weird problem. I have spoken to one of them a couple of hours ago.

He said, he has contacted his web hosting service provider and they are trying to fix the problem on the server side! On the server side?!! Well, at least they admitted the fault is on their server and not blaming my friends coding!!!

Gosh, imagine a few days down caused by your ‘best web hosting’ service provider!
Imagine if the website is your sole income provider!
Imagine the lost of visitor and lost of $$$

Who to blame?
Will he get compensation for the losses? Full compensation? Half compensation? No compensation?

I’m so pity on him.
