Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Now everybody is talking about Apple’s new product launch - MacBook Air in this blogsphere. As its name, it looks so light like floating in the air! Apple claimed that:

But I rather to get it Free! Do you think is it possible? I have won an iPod Touch last year, hopefully this year could get me one MacBook Air :)

How Secure is Your Blog Hosting Server?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

I have did a guest post about how to choose a good and trusted blog hosting server at LiewCF.com. This is just like how you choose a nice house to stay.

After you have a nice house, now the important thing is it secure? Have you employ security guard to patrol your house? Or at least fix in latest alarm system? I am not expert in physical security, but at least I know how secure is my blog hosting server. The lesser information you disclose to others, the higher security level you have.

How about you? Do you know how secure is your blog server?

Scan your blog hosting server

To check how much information your blog hosting server has disclosed, you need to scan it with Netcraft. Netcraft is an internet monitoring tool that provide you useful information about a website. It is a favorite tool that use by many hackers to collect information before hacking.

So its a good practice to scan your own blog hosting server before others scan for you. :) Once finish, click on sitereport to see the results like my screenshot below. (more…)

Frankly speaking, I have downloaded too many softwares to test, but seldom
do disk cleanup. This is no good :(

The problem is it took too long time just for it to start and analyzes
the amount of space that can be freed by compressing old files first (see the screenshot below). Sometime it took 5 minutes or more.

AhTim at National GeographicWell, I am not teaching you how to build a well known reputation in the world but this is just for FUN! :) The magazine cover is fake, and you can upload your own photo into it with few well known magazines cover frame.

It is so easy to make yourself in the front cover. Go to MagMyPic, upload your photo and choose your favorite magazine cover and thats it. You are in well known magazine’s front cover immediately!

Why don’t you make a magazine cover with your own photo and share with us here?

My two cents

Although this is just for fun, the MagMyPic website is allow you to subscribe the real magazine with very low price. For example, you may subscribe to National Geographic with special discount at USD$34.00 that save you 43% of the original price USD$59.40.
