Crappy Week, Crappy Template

March 1st, 2008

This week is not the best week for me. Just a list down on what have been happening:

  • The workload has been increasing like crazy again
  • The AI team suddenly asked me to do presentation for the students (again, last minute)
  • There was a meeting in the morning. And I hate it.
  • I was supposed to take DB2 certification (Test 731) on Thursday
  • I even sleep early for that purpose – 2 days in a row
  • But suddenly it got postponed due to technical reason
  • So, whatever, I got to take it on Friday
  • I’ve lost my enthusiasm by then
  • I failed that test by 1% – passing score is 59%, I got 58%. Which makes it a miss by a question.
  • I try to retake that test again, thinking it will be the same set.
  • Unfortunately it is not the same set. And failed it again.
  • I spend my weekend trying to change the blog template.
  • And it becomes crappy. It seems that my blog – never have a purpose to be written.

Whatever. I guess the leap year makes the luck leap over me too for the day.

Informative:

1) Do you know that in Gmail, you can set your incoming mail to be archived right away? And your mail can be labeled as to rearrange your mails in inbox?

Check the Settings > Filters as well as Settings > Label. Credits to Yondie for telling me this. big grin

p/s: My email is always cluttered, make it Gmail or Lotus Notes. I guess I am not that keen of cleaning it up anyway.

2) Do you know that Pacmee‘s competitor is Twitter? You can post shoutout by using both of it, but Yondie has “poisoned” me to use Twitter. Not bad – can send your shoutout from web and SMS. But the looks of it kinda sucks though.

Ahh… need some space for myself.

>>> Tag games and links. <<<

I was being tagged by Dils and I am bored; so she’s lucky I participate. Usually I don’t give a damn. I started not to play tag due to the work load that seems never stopped. So here goes:

The Linking Tag Rules

1. List out five favourite links – the links can be of business sites, affiliate links or whatever that suits the blogger.
2. Tag five more people to share their links, so hopefully, at the end of the tag, we would be able to share good links with each other.
3. The links MUST be clean. No X-rated sites.
4. List out only FIVE links.
5. You MUST tell FIVE people you choose.
6. Provide the link back to the person who tagged you.
7. Obviously, it should be an active link.

My 5 favourite links:

1) My Gmail. You know why? because that’s where the spam list lies! I always start my day there to see what the hell the boys (and girl) spamming. In each day, you can get at least 60 emails per day! Don’t believe it? See picture below:


Luckily its on my Gmail, so no mail space problems! big grin Anyway, even though most of the times we talked rubbish, but there are times where Mangi or Yoda or anybody will share information from various websites. Sometimes Wiki, mostly Japanese stuff, or 4chan image board.

Feeling moody at the start of your day? Read those spam! I always end up with a chuckle or a laugh – where then people will start throwing awkward look at me.

2) If I am at work, then the sites where I always visit frequently is the IBM InfoCenter – mostly for DB2, or, if I am the queue monitor where I need to entertain those chatters, it will be InfoCenter for other products as well. Part of the job.

3) Also part of the job, I will go to IBM DeveloperWorks to read those technical articles – either as part of skills development, or requirement to answer the question. Again, part of the job.

4) At home? I got those RSS feed blog bookmarks! Every blogs that I love to read will be bookmark with the RSS. There are a lot, so I just post a piccie for you to take a peek.

Okay okay! Some of you might say that I don’t post links. These are some of the links here (selected randomly):

Opps! Now I’ve posted more than 5! LOL. And its not even the full list of bookmarked blog! And the list is always growing! Double LOL.

You see, I just love reading people blog’s. Especially my friends, or people I know. So, I don’t have preferences. Blog hopping is just a hobby, and I don’t have a niche or one focus interest. I can and I do read everything. LOL. Talking about stalkers, I maybe one of it! tongue

5) Social bookmarking sites. I used Nuffnang, Feedburners, Technorati, and BlogExplosion as my social bookmarking sites. There are others too but I rarely visit it – Digg as an example.

From there, I can see who links to me or from where the visitors come to my blog. So, I ended up clicking here and there to see each person blog’s or links. So I gain a lot of other links and I crawl to all the places I can.

Else, I will just type random words into Google and see where it brings me. LOL.

There are some other links as well; Youtube and Metacafe as instances. But heck, I already posted more than 5. LOL.

I hope Blogger won’t block me anymore like before. This is not a spam list, okay Blogger, its just a stupid link game. Huhu!

5 people to tag.

Hmmm… this is kinda hard. Random selection below:

1) Mia
2) Chunna
3) Chadsz
4) Huda
5) Mangi

That’s it. Is it useful? LOL.

This picture is the current ads that I have in this blog. Read on..

I just got back from my hometown in Muar when I read this email from Nuffnang:

Hi, Mohd Nor Sallehin bin Sallehuddin,

Congratulations!
An advertiser has chosen to advertise on [re-arrange].
The advertisement details are as follows:

Campaign:
Hong Leong FEB Campaign Week 1 SS

Week(s):
1. 10 Feb 2008 to 16 Feb 2008

Ad Unit:
Skyscraper (Top)

Have you ever noticed that I’ve put Nuffnang ads on my sidebar? Try to scroll down after the chatbox and you will see the skyscraper advertisement from Nuffnang. Today, Hong Leong wanted to put their ads there – hoho!

The ads is actually about – “Kiap-kiap” contest that currently being held by Hong Leong Bank. So, if you have Hong Leong bank account, you can pay your bills online and try to play their “Kiap-kiap” game to see if you can get lucky!

If you don’t have Hong Leong’s account, no worry. Go release your tension by playing “Kiap-kiap” for free. Its actually a game of catching flies using chopstick. Cool! I like the flash animation. I’d have to say, this game is very, very suitable to be played in the office while you’re bored waiting for the clock’s to strike 5 (or 6, or 8 for me).

Below is the screenshot of me trying to play “Kiap-Kiap” :

Damn! Not that easy, really!

And below is the highest score that I can get. LOL.

*sweat*

Oh well, c’mon guys! Let’s play the game and compare the result! Let me know your result in the comments please! Tee hee hee~

Anyway, to access it, please click at the ads on the right sidebar, below the chatbox. No worries, your click doesn’t mean anything I guess if you don’t have Hong Leong accounts (thus, unable to participate in the contest == no profit for me). So, its not for my own profit – if you speculating that I “force” you to click that ads to gain pocket money. Duh!!~

I never get anything from the ads anyway.
