Changelog: rearrange-inc.com

August 23rd, 2010

I’ve done some changes to this blog to accommodate more functionality and to clean up the databases and files. Security has been tighten, performance-wise has also been improved due to the migration of the server. Changelog as below for my own reference:

1- Hosting is now using ServerFreak

As stated in the previous EMO post, my previous hosting gives me problems a lot from the uptime, accessibility, and server stability. So no more cheap hosting without the proper functionality!

The matter was made worst when they revert my files prior to posting the Inception post below. Suddenly the post was reverted and lost in just 5 minutes of posting, just because I ping it to Twitter and Facebook? WTF!

So that’s about it. I moved to ServerFreak now. Better client support, better performance, better functionality, a bit expensive from previous hosting but very worth it. And it’s not that expensive either way, only RM140 per year for both domain name and hosting.

2 – Use 1-click Retweet/Share/Like plugin, remove the Random Quote plugin, more Nuffnang.

See the sidebar? No more random quotes like before. I decided to remove that plugins because I lost the tables of it. Damn! Even though I can rebuilt and search for new quotes, I just don’t feel like it for now. So… sorry!

But I added the 1-click retweet/share/like plugin. See the bottom of the post? If you want to like or share the post now, it’s easy! Yeay! (and the plugin produces a good looking buttons too. Nice! big grin )

And I decided to use the poll plugins from Nuffnang. See the new polls in the sidebar now? The orange one? PLEASE feel free to click it. At least I know better what are the things you guys like and wanted me to post moar tongue

Added the top header ads, sidebar ads, and square ads. The square ads only visible if you see the comments, so I don’t think its too much intrusive. Just worried about the header ads though; please give me feedback of how it looks likes once it appear.

(Oh. Feel free to click the ads too. HEHEHEHE )

Pending Task:

1) Add more banner ads on the sidebar. Need to tweak the theme since it only gives four pre-defined template and left a lot of space below. Sigh.Not only that, need to select proper affiliate ads or banner that is useful. Don’t want to put those cialis/viagra type of ads. Acai berry pun cannot!!! tongue

2) Target of adding another one follower in NetworkedBlog. Now I got 19 follower, if can add another 1, additional functionality and statistics will be available from NetworkedBlog. Dying to see how good (or bad) it is.

3) Auto-publish to other social networks. Need to register for additional API and configuration stuffs. Still thinking whether to do it or not since my article and posts are not… that good to be shared. HAHA tongue

4) Figure out if I can monetize the blog in more ways without having to annoy my current readers. Most prolly won’t be able to figure out though. HAHAHAHAH tongue

Mommeh and Facebook

July 26th, 2010

I open my Facebook account and found out that I have a friend request from my mom. Guess what’s my first reaction when I saw that?

I went ape nuts and – “OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!”. laughing

I can’t deny that today’s trends are for mothers and/or fathers to get into Facebook and adding their sons and daughters. I can’t deny that by reading newspaper people already heard about Facebook and how those kinda ads gives publicity to Facebook and how it can attracts even your neighbours to add you. I think the Gen X wanted to learn how Gen Y operates or something.

But having mom to add me into my Facebook account makes me sweat. Reasons? I swear a lot in Facebook. I curse a lot in Facebook. I even dropped comments that is vulgar in its nature everywhere. That’s why I am hesitant to add my mommeh.

Tell me, how many of you add your mom into your Facebook profile? I don’t even add my boss into my Facebook — and even my current work collegues are not added (I do give exception to the one who has left their job.)

Reason: Being a Gen Y, my alter ego is on the web. I don’t want to be judged by the alter ego I shown on the web. I believe ignorance is bliss in some cases.

So mom, if you do read this — that’s why I click the Ignore button when I saw your profiles requesting me to be friends. Not now, maybe. Later if I think my alter ego is useless, I may add you. When? I don’t know.

LOL.

P/s: Seriously, who taught my mom to open the Facebook account? I think I wanna shoot that person. Damn it!

P/s 2: Proof reading my post again, I realize that my grammar are taking a downside slope. Shit. I really really really need to start reading and writing again — vigorously.

Back Again!

July 19th, 2010

Hah! At last! The blog is alive again!

For those who are questioning why the blog is dead for last two months – it happened due to the migration of TNN Hosting to a new company. Their company is now called HostEmo.

IT DID MAKE ME FREAKING EMO!

Kejadahnya kan pindah hosting tapi sampai 2 bulan blog mati tak up. Syial ape contact2 tech support takde respon – rupanya dah bertukar sampaikan account tros hilang! WTF WTF WTF!!!!!

Arghh! Emo Emo Emo.

I am now looking at another hosting for next year. No more cheap hosting – as what they always say – you get what you’re paying for! FFFFF!!! sad
