The cheek of some people

Its really amazing how someone can say one thing to you, and say something else completely the opposite of what he thinks of you to another person.

Who would have thought that being a full-time internet entrepreneur would have its fringe benefits? Never thought much of it either, but last Saturday I reached an important stage of my life: marriage. So now its pretty much official, we are now husband and wife and I am very glad that I decided [...]

Interesting URL shorteners on the internet

menj — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:27:03 PDT

Many websites have very long URLs for their articles, especially more so with blogs that rely on automated permalinks which reuse their titles. For example, a URL can be as follows: http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/archives/2008/resolving-the-christian-i-know-nothing-multi-problem-in-textual-criticism/ Such long URLs can actually break if you try to repost them in forums or e-mails. So what is the solution? You use a [...]

Poking around SEO Book

menj — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:21:14 PDT

I have been poking around Aaron Wall’s SEO Book after subscribing to its membership and I’ve certainly discovered some important things which cuts through the hype about it. The fee is $300 a month, which is definitely way overpriced after I’ve checked out the material available. Fortunately, I didn’t have to pay for the full [...]

VCTech Network Forums

Since the forum is pretty much completed now, I think the story can now be told. I have started a new webmasters forum at VCTech Network, my company website. My original intention was for it to serve as a support forum and discussion for our online products and services, i.e. our blog aggregator service, URL [...]

Well this is certainly no April Fool’s joke, seeing that this was widely reported on many tech blogs, including TechCrunch. This has also been confirmed on the YPN Blog. If you are a Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) publisher, you would have received the following e-mail informing you of this decision: Dear Publisher, Yahoo! continuously evaluates and prioritizes [...]

I need to search for a new web hosting provider because my current reseller UK account is quirky and has been giving me some issues. Looking around for cheap web hosting, I chanced upon Host Nexus, a web hosting provider. It appears that this company is fast becoming among the most popular places for webmasters [...]

And you never thought this guy is an Internet Entrepreneur

menj — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:14:20 PDT

This is certainly a real blast from the past. Taken at Zoo Negara somewhere in the early 1980s, I presume. No idea how old back then. In this era, computers were just invented and the World Wide Web had not existed yet.

menj — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:22:08 PDT

On Thursday, I attended the Google Analytics Master Class (GAMC) at Hilton Hotel which was held for the first time in Kuala Lumpur.
