Use Actual Images Instead of Emoticons on SMS/Email/IM

Now you can use your own face in sms/im/email instead of emoticon.

😉 or

Best part is the system is intelligent enough to generate a list of usable emoticons based only on a single image.

Free Wireless Internet In Malaysia

Free Internet access in Malaysia? Well, that has been the case for Internet users in Ipoh.

Then another interesting news comes out: a user has been ‘hogging’ the free wireless internet access 24×7 for the last two months.

Now the company that in charge of the free internet access in Ipoh, Red Snapper (M) Sdn Bhd is compiling the data to try to trace the said user.

My question is: what for?! If it is FREE, why can’t the user keep using it continuously? Compiling the data just as an excuse to show the Ministry that you are a loser company that do not know how to limit usage (or bandwidth throttle). If you want to do throttling, ask TMNet lor, they are expert in this.

Malaysian companies are such clueless in their acts. I mean, what are you trying to achieve here? You collect the user usage data ( I presume MAC address or IP address) then what you want to do with it? You want to analyst it? You want to do something with that user? What? It is free mah, free oso cannot use, then tell me what to do so that I will do exactly what you want lar.

Fedup!

One man hogging wireless Internet free service 24 hours a day:

Anyone got suggestion on the best email server for Windows? Preferably open source or not that expensive, target users are less than 20.

Anyway, here is the link (no aff) hMailServer – Open source email server for Microsoft Windows:

New Firefox Update 2.0.0.3

Another release of Firefox, the browser that I am currently using. I cannot stress more on the advantages of Firefox over Internet Explorer.

Firefox is MUCH MUCH faster that IE in displaying webpage.

IE is such a lame program that it simply copy Firefox’s tab function. Hello Bill, no more idea issit?

So many plugins and add-ons for Firefox users to choose from, including some that I am using now:

Adblock
Adsense Notifier
Noscript
Alexa Bar
Faster Fox
Deepest Sender (the editor that I am using to post this blog into my site)
One Click Downthemall

and many more. I like the idea of plugins and add-ons because users can add in the functionality that they like and need into Firefox without request and begging for the lame asses M$ to adding to IE.

Paul Ooi & Friends » 慶:

在古時的英國,一般人不能隨意做愛。 除非他們是皇家貴族,不然一定要有國王的允許。 所以當人們想要生小孩時,他們就會去跟國王申請允許, 國王就會給他們一個牌子掛在門上,代表他們可以做愛。 在牌子上寫著Fornication Under Consent of the King (FUCK) (在國王的允許下做愛)
