Apple iPhone in Malaysia Series Revamped

Apple iPhone and TimothyGreetings and salutations from the universe beyond, where iPhones roam freely without being held captive by the iron fists of AT&T and 02. It appears that Danny is still a wee bit busy drowning himself in his work just to put some 3-year-old smiles on his clients’ faces, so I get I’ll have to do this myself then. *Sorry, Danny* To keep things simple : Timothy’s my name, and iPhones are my game. Well, they don’t rhyme, but heck…

Alright, alright, enough with the crappy lines, I know :P I’m Timothy, a friend of Danny’s, and the the whole reason I’m the first person to publish something here besides Danny is pretty much to bring you even more iPhone tips, tricks and insider information. Being an avid iPhone user myself, it became quite apparent that Danny’s series on the Apple iPhone here has grown into quite a hit among his readers, and so I’m here now to help him give you guys another 10 more reasons to continue reading on this series, and to those of you who haven’t, perhaps get an iPhone? Read on…

My Life My Website Design Work and More Work

Warcraft 3 PeasantI’m overwhelmed with website work at the moment. As a friend of mine would say – I’m up to ‘here’ now, raising his hand above his head. As much as I want to commit to my blogging schedule, my clients are not letting me of that easily at the moment.

However, judging by the projects and their timeline I might survive this until end of the month. And as usual, the business saying goes “if you’re busy, business is good”. Well, if I were that busy – I’d have a patch of grey hair too. Thankfully, this is just enough for me and my partner.

Do You Read Your Spam Emails?

spam luncheon meatTrust me. When I heard a friend of mine said he reads his spam (junk) emails, it was only half the shock I got from him. When he told he reads them, I just kept thinking which ‘cuckoo’ user reads their junk email. For me, once it’s in there I’m done with it. Normally, I won’t bother going into the junk folder unless necessary.

But here’s the killer when I was discussing this with my friend. He said junk emails is one of the wonders of technology. Gosh! When he told me that, I only had a blank expression on my face while in my mind repeated; WTF! What the f…! WHAT THE FCK!

Set Short Term and Long Term Google Adsense Goals

Think MoneyI may not be the richest blogger in Malaysia who earns from Google Adsense, but I’m still thankful for the monetary support Google has given me. By the way, WHO IS the richest blogger in Malaysia earning from Google Adsense? Or is there none?

So anyway, I thought I’d share a thing or two of how I managed to earn a healthy income from Google Adsense. Note I said healthy…and not ludicrously rich or I earn an income as high as a senior position in a company. Well, one of the things I did and still do is set short term and long term goals for my Google Adsense earnings. As far as I can recall, I’ve always mentioned about having a blogging strategy and now, this is one of them.

Photoshop Experiment Inspired by Heroes TV Series

This was a photo originally shot with my Apple iPhone when I was out for lunch yesterday. It was basically taken inside a pretty dark toilet in a Chinese corner shop. Something about the fan with light coming into dark toilet seemed interesting. And obviously, I had already done what I had to do in the toilet-la. Eesh!

original iPhone image

The image inspired me to open up Photoshop and do a little magic. So after a little bit of Photoshop filters and some thoughts (not the toilet), I ended up with a comic-styled image in the end.

Muthafcking Blog Content Traffic Stealing Fckers

spam luncheon meatSurprise surprise. Of course I too swear at times. But only do it in the annoying instances like this one. The blog content thieves aren’t like the blatantly ‘copy and paste’ ones you generally would find. These I would call; excerpt stealers. Hence, almost the equivalent of blog traffic and content stealers.

What happens if after one of my popular posts get published, these fckers would plonk the first paragraph onto their so-called ‘blog’. As much as it looks like a blog, it’s a space for them to store any bloggers content. And you know what makes these people real muthafckers? They don’t even have that little respect to include the author’s name or blog’s name.

Malaysia iPhone X-APOP authentication support and secure connection failed

Apple iPhone interfaceThank you to everyone who’s been visiting and reading my blog – again. I’d like to personally apologize to readers who may have felt they’ve been shortchanged during my Apple iPhone in Malaysia series. It was my first time receiving a free item to review especially since it was the iPhone.

And because I now own an iPhone thanks to MAXIMiPhone, I’ll be blogging about it. But I’ll do my best to keep these posts brief and keep the iPhone topics secondary (or in emergency). This post is an emergency because after the upgrade to firmware version 1.1.2, a friend of mine who recently bought an iPhone showed me a mail problem.

Unreleased WordPress 2.5 Sneak Peek

wordpress logoOnly twelve days ago, WordPress released their version 2.3.3 update to fix an exploitation with the XMLRPC configuration. And now, I find out you can actually take WordPress version 2.5 for a spin. However, you directly install it since the files haven’t been released yet. Which is why, this is only a WordPress 2.5 sneak peek.

Thanks to Autommattic’s Chris Johnston, he’s setup a WordPress 2.5 demo…preview…sneak peek…whatever you want to call a test site for WordPress followers to crash test. Do note, I didn’t mean literally trying to crash the WordPress 2.5 test server. Login details to the WordPress 2.5 test server are after the jump.

Why Didn't Google Think of This?

google conceptGoogle Inc has been paving the way since Google Search arrived and it just got better…and better. What’s even more spectacular is Google Mail (GMail). But, why didn’t Google think about this brilliant idea; Using Adsense Income to Supplement AdWords campaigns.

This is such a brilliantly simple idea but it’s not being done at the moment. Gosh! I even tried Google-ing if anyone else has thought of it but it seemed no one has popped the question. I’m very sure someone involved in Google’s world domination plans must have thought of it.

Destroy The Web 2.0 Look in Malaysia

I feel embarrassed and ashamed of myself. As a Malaysia website designer, we are suppose to create, innovate and conceptualize. But ever since the Web 2.0 design style took us by storm, misconception of the web 2.0 design style is existent. Therefore, I want all Malaysia website design companies and designers to watch Elliot Jay … Read more
