New MYNIC Malaysia Website Launches and Misses

MYNIC is the domain registry and domain registrar in Malaysia. They also are administrator for the .my top level domain name and second-level Malaysia domain names for organizations, businesses and individuals. Such as .com.my, .net.my, .org.my, .gov.my, .edu.my, .mil.my, and .name.my.

Currently, you can only register Malaysia domain names with MYNICs appointed resellers. And, not every company may apply to be a reseller (even if you are an MSC company). But I’m not here to rant about the MYNIC registration process. Instead, I’d like to discuss about their new website launched on June 25, 2008.

Will Smith is Coming to Malaysia

No, I am not kidding. Rumors have it Will Smith will be landing in Malaysia next month; July. This information was leaked by a reliable source though not in direct relation to Mr.Smith. However, it’s not been confirmed if Will Smith will physically be here.

What’s cooler than meeting Will Smith? I’d say a superhero, namely; Hancock. If you’ve not heard, Hancock is the superhero character played by Will Smith. Though unlike any superhero normally perfect, the story starts with Hancock being a complete buffoon. He apparently is a homeless who drinks too much and sinks a ship in the attempt of saving a whale. Talk about things which can go wrong for superheroes.

The Malaysia Website Design Portfolio Mistake

Like you, I’m a Malaysia website designer. However, I’ve been absent from the freelance scene and am now running my own company; Simpleet Solutions. One of the most important tools for any freelance website designer is to host their portfolio. The works you have completed for big timers or big names and would like to proudly brandish it to future clients.

You may think hosting a terrible portfolio is a mistake. Well, it is but I know of another mistake Malaysia freelance website designers should avoid. And that is, linking to websites which companies no longer use and it now belongs to some cybersquatter.

Thanks to All-Malaysian Bloggers Project (AMBP), Cinema Online and Microsoft Malaysia for making the second blogger gathering a success at Outpost, Cineleisure Damansara.

The event started with the bloggers registration whether they were invited by The Star (AMBP) or others. And again, Star Jobs had a mini booth setup for bloggers who haven’t given up their day jobs just yet. The crowd was as good if not better than the last gathering held at Starbucks, Gardens Midvalley.
