Exabytes an hour later

image

An hour later...

Looks like they are fixing the problems and more services are up but I still can't access the MySQL database which means my Wordpress blog is still down.

Exabytes down again

My main domain at Exabytes is down again. At least I can still log in to CPanel to see what's going on

Looks like the MySQL server service is down among others. :(

5buxs - can make money or not?

imageJoined this click-an-ad for 2 cents program called 5buxs. After 4 days I have: USD 2.00

Warning:

I am not endorsing this program but treating it as an experiment to see if it really makes money.

If you are like me and want to try this out, my referral link :

Just joined 5buxs.cn

I just saw someone blog about 5buxs.cn so I joined to find out what's this Pay Per Click program is all about.

Apparently you will be served an ad for 20 seconds and after that you earn 2 cents for that. You then click on other ads and go thru the "stare at the ad" process again. 2 cents is definitely not much but it's the referral program is where programs like this attract people and I guess that's their main revenue model.

For example, I entered a "what-if" scenario where I got 5 people referred under me.

image

That's USD 189.00 per month. Not bad. But that's assuming all my 5 referrals are active participants and click on ads everyday and there are at least 18 ads available everyday. I will try this program out and report back later to see if program is even worth anybody's time.

LiewCF making money on auto-pilot

Liew was gone for almost a month and according to his latest post, he still make almost the same amount from his monthly online income.

That's truly auto-pilot earnings in my books. Of course according to him it's the momentum of his 3000 posts he has written and if he stops he feels that the income will drop. Still, to earn the same amount while doing nothing for one whole month is a great feat for passive income!

Finally, Prof Andrew Ooi is knocked down

Professor Andrew Ooi website has finally fallen from No. 1 postition to no.2 yesterday.

After almost a year of trying, I finally took back the no.1 spot for Google Search for my own name - Andrew Ooi.

Andrew-Ooi-No-1-Google

I still take 5/10 positions on the first page but the prof is still holding on to a strong no.2 and no.3 position. The next few months I want to take over those 2 positions also!! It's a matter of time ...

Online resources to save money on Insurance

I used to work for an online insurance company but as a programmer. Hence whenever there are websites about insurance I take interest.

I prefer doing my research online first before actually purchasing any insurance policy. I just hate meeting an insurance agent without arming myself with some background knowledge. One website I'm looking now is Advantage Life Insurance. It's the perfect site to visit if you want to get some Insurance Quotes online. I love the fact that I can actually see how I can Save Money on Insurance from the site. With the sole purpose of sorting through the multitude of different types of insurance policies, the site has already saved me time.

Guess what is in the picture?



Walk past this in Cameron Higlands yesterday. Can you gues what is this? They actually spiders and they've built their webs right across two trees and it appears like they are floating on thin air. How big are the spiders? Oh.. not too big. The size of my thumb probably :)

Online backgammon

I'm a big fan of chess. However, another mentally stimulating game is backgammon. I've been doing my research on the net and one of the better place to find backgammon games is http://www.mistergammon.com. For a board playing game, the site's design is quite simple, which is a good thing. It makes it simple to start playing right away by downloading a small client program. There are also many live tournaments daily which raises the excitement level for this board game. The advantage of online backgammon is that you don't have to make appointments with friends and you can easily get an opponent to play against 24/7. Go ahead, try online backgammon now.

Happy New Year 2008

Have you made any new year's resolution yet?

This year I don't want to make ANY resolutions at all because I want it's a waste of time as by next year none of it will ever be accomplished. Instead I'll make out a short term targets at various times of the year. Perhaps every two months to gauge if my targets are met.
