This year’s Dato Tan Malaysia Open (DATMO) shall be the last one. However Dato Tan hinted that he may get other sponsors to continue the biggest chess tournament in Malaysia. Let’s hope that take place. In any event, we should make this the biggest and grandest last DATMO.
If you want to create an e-commerce site, most likely you would need a shopping cart web application. You’ll be selling products that need to have some way of accepting payments, typically via credit card.
Most brick and mortar shops find it difficult to sell things online for this fact alone. Coupled with the difficulty and expensive merchant accounts that is needed, it really deters potential online shops from being set up.
I have been looking at some software (free and paid) for setting up shopping carts. AShop Commerce is one of the first I looked at.
Setting up a shopping cart to accept payment should not be a difficult step considering that e-commerce software has been around for many years now. One of the thing that struck me while researching AShop commerce is that it has a feature that you can build instant inbound links by activating the Ashop’s link exchange program. For example, if you link out to 5 Ashop Commerce stores from your site and a different 5 stores will link back to you. That’s simply ingenious I think and automatically gives you some SEO juice without being on the “black” side of SEO that Google frowns at nowadays.
Of course there are other features
We all know that few of the resolutions we made last year were ever fullfilled. Am I right or am I right?
Plan to lose weight, exercise, save more money, get a better job or a raise, find a new boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. So what’s your New Year’s resolution this year?
Mine will be to learn how to blog with better quality content and review more Malaysian websites. Short and simple. I know I can achieve that because I’ve written nothing of note in 2007 
Nowadays, lengthy lawsuit and claims makes it difficult to get money owed to you - making you wait for months or even years.
You may be waiting for a big settlement but in the meantime may end up in serious financial trouble. That’s a sad old story that affects many people. I’ve read Commercial Lawsuit Funding from this website fundmycase.com and apparently there are companies that loan money to cases like what I mentioned in order to avoid financial crisis. I guess that’s good business too as these companies are experienced to know which cases are guaranteed of winning and thus will have returns.This also benefits the borrowers of course and I think it’s a win-win proposition.
I was trying out this new cheap China-made webcam (RM 29) I bought from Low Yat Plaza when my Windows XP suddenly froze and gave a irritating ‘feedback’ sound you usually get from mic that are too near the speaker. I had no choice but to press the power button for a few seconds to force a shutdown.
After a reboot, I got a message telling me that one of my files is corrupted and to place in the Windows XP installation CD to repair it.
Right there and then I panicked before it’s been a year since I last did a backup on my notebook. I tried to go thru the Windows installer option that did not need to do a full reinstall. Alas, there was no such option. In order to fix the corrupted files it appeared that I had to go thru a reinstall. Grudgingly I pressed to confirm I wanted to reinstall windows over the original one on C drive.
This installation normally takes about 45 minutes on my notebook but it was over in less than 15 minutes. I was so happy to see my notebook bootup with it’s old familiar desktop icons and themes — meaning I did not lose my data!
Of course, I quickly used my empty DVDs to back up all my important documents and data right after that.
That scare has thought me an important lesson in backing my data regularly.
To have a website is to have a “web presence”. It’s very important to choose the correct company to host your website. These are called webhosts. Choosing the wrong webhost can be a painful as well as costly affair. So finding the ideal webhost is a very important first step to starting your own website.
One site to try out is http://www.webhostingchoice.com.
They have the above useful search form to find the exact webhost that fits your needs. For me, the most notable section of the website is their explanation of scams and warning on why there are really cheap hosting offers on the net. It’s a good site to visit to educate new website owners.
This is the 19th year that these two countries have fought across massive number of chessboards to see which country was better.
Malaysia always dominated these matches in the past. However, Singapore has been diligent and spent money to hire strong professional coaches overseas and their program has worked. The past few years we have seen Singapore consistently beating Malaysia. This year was the worst results for Malaysia as they were soundly trounced.
Here is the results:-
I want to write this down first before I forget about it. I was using a cool remote control program that could control my notebook’s media player. In essence I had a remote control to play songs from anywhere in the house. The cool thing about it was that it worked using the WiFi signals from my IPaq 4150 to my Notebook’s WiFi. I have forgotten the where I downloaded it but I will find it back again. The best thing about it is that it is free too. A pity that my PDA hard resetted when I accidentally dropped it.
Remember Backgammon Masters the website that offers online board games such as backgammon ? They just rolled out another cool feature to cater for the international users of the site. Members of the site can now make currency transactions in multiple currencies. This is a fantastic cost saving feature for the online players as they do not have to go pay the exchange rate commissions. Payment methods include Credit Card, Pay Pal, Neteller, MoneyBookers, Click and Buy and UKash.
This makes all monetory transactions much easier so that players do not have to consistently calculate the amount they are betting for each game. Now international players can play popular games like backgammon, Perudo, Poker and 21 blackjack with real money amounts in their currency that they are familiar with. All conversions is carried out by yhe system itself leaving the player free to concentrate fully on enjoying the game.
If you are interested try out the backgammon download
Of course if you don’t know anything about the game but want to find out more you can visit their site and read up on the rules and how to play Backgammon. Chess is not the only board game you know
I played this boy when he was only 6 years old in a blitz tournament in RSC. He nearly beat me and I knew then he was diestined for great things. About 2 years later, here he is making news headlines in our local newspapers. He just finished 4th in the World Under 9 Youth Chess championship. He played for his team and won 9/9 in the ASEAN+ Team Chess Championship.
Here is the article from the News Straits Times (Saturday), 8th Dec 2007:-
Here’s a site that lists down the top us online casinos. As an attraction, all online casino offers “bonusses” for new players to join as members to their online casinos. The site lists down details such as bonus, payout rate (in percentage), a rating between 1-10 as well as a review of the site. It’s a free guide to the world of online casino gambling. As a free review site, it offers plenty of value to those interested to gamble online. It’s definitely safer when you know that someone has already tried and tested the online casino before you actually become a member and place your betting money on the site.
The site’s navigation is pretty simple (as well it should be for sites of this type) and makes it easy as well as fast if you are looking for the information regarding the top casinos. Perhaps one suggestion I would like to make is the previous position of a particular casino by showing an arrow indicating whether the casino has moved up or down compared to the previous week (or month).
Our very own Yeoh Li Tian finished fourth in the recent World Youth Chess Championship that ended yesterday in Antlaya, Turkey. Yeoh completed 11 rounds with a total of 9.5 points. This has got to be Malaysia’s most impressive turnout at the World championship. He even finished ahead of Singapore’s own wonder boy Derik Lim.
Only 7, the future of Yeoh Li Tian is very bright. Also with what foresight such as what has happened to other junior prodigies, let’s hope Yeoh can avoid those pitfalls and made real progress.
Yes that’s the tagline for PPP, the internet’s biggest company offering bloggers to write about and review all sorts of things from the net. I’ve never been paid to write the reviews that I’ve been doing thus far. I did them for FREE. So the idea of getting paid for them is new. I’m going to try it out to see if it really is real. I can’t believe a company can be profitable paying people to write reviews.
Still I’ve seen friends making real money off PPP. So I guess it must really be true. A friend of mine just made over USD 1000 in a month. That’s quite a lot of money just writing reviews. Of course, I do not like to endorse any product just because I’m paid for it. I’m glad PPP has a page on blog ethics. I’m impressed. I agree with the points especially being honest to my readers. I won’t write about topics that I don’t agree with. Disclosure is also important to let readers know what is a paid review and what is not.
All in all, it is an interesting business model and benefits all three parties - advertisers, PPP and bloggers.
