Create Your Own BBC Homepage

Hawk recently passed me a link to Reboot bbc.co.uk. If you do not know what does ‘reboot’ mean it’s the new term of the 21st Century to replace the words revamp, reinvent, reinvigorate and etc. Now that you’ve got the meaning, probably you can tell that BBC UK is planning to reinvent their entire website. … Read more

All Round Cheap Website

This discussion started from the previous Some Malaysians are Shameless but it wasn’t complete since I didn’t have the website URL of the finished project. But thanks to Tiger, he managed to dig back up the website from his history folder.

The discussion I wanted done here earlier was to briefly talk about the fair or unfair pricing for the website; www.property98.com

This itself already is free publicity for the owner but no matter, because what we’re going to discuss is the pricing of this website work.

Some Malaysians are Shameless

As you know, I’m an avid member of Low Yat forums and I’ve been bringing up case studies from there a couple of times. However, today’s case was affected due to the shameless editing done by a Malaysian. But no matter, though he might not allow me to discuss his agenda openly I could still always describe it in other manners.

I’ve answered some of the classifieds in the Job Enlistment forum before when it came to website building but I’ve not been ever so insulted as a person who designs websites to improve the status of the local user experience, accessibility and others.

A Decade of Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC)

Since the start of the MSC in 1996, it was all about the hype of raising the bar in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) of things. It was a plan and target for all companies to be part of MSC or Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC). The battle still continues to eliminate piracy, improve technology, increase numbers of Internet penetration and others.

A decade has passed and they’ve decided to reband and revitalise the whole MSC and MDC scene. Maybe they think since it’s been 10 years and we’re only a quarter in, we could try sarting fresh and make things cooler. They’ve changed the MDC to M-DeC which just puzzles me because I thought MDC was always a great name for it.

Your Wedding Gift Registry

Not long ago, I reviewed the portfolio website and wedding website of Jason Gurley. At the end of the entry, I said that I’d like to discuss a new opportunity many might not have noticed happening around the Internet.

Though the opportunist might not agree so much about the idea implemented here because it’ll question ‘asian culture’ but I think other Malaysians today are becoming more modern and tech-savvy on their own.

After all, wouldn’t an online method be great to lessen the worries of a couples already stressing woes about choosing wedding locations, restaurants, photographers, guests and etc?

Domain Names Made Simple

Before I migrated over to WordPress, I was saying how domain names will be spelt as d0ma41n n4m3s in future because of the less available choices around due to others purchasing and auctioning of domains at a mugh higher value.

I’ve also highlighted a great article on how to choose a business name written by Will Swayne before and if you haven’t read it, you should. Now from the masses unveils another article of tips for choosing a domain name along with graphical statistics by Dennis Forbes.

Is Sketching and Drawing Important to A Designer?

That’s what one of the members at Low Yat forums started asking. It might be a ridiculous question to ask designers but there are the exceptional few. The reason this members was asking his fellow companions is because he noticed in his course there isn’t a module for it.

There have been few replies in the thread and some commented yes, some said no, some said it depends on the field you’re doing and some say other things like;
