The benefits of corporate blogging

Lately, I met up with a research student from the university I used to be studying in. We spent an hour and a half over coffee at Starbucks, where he interviewed me about blogging and blog marketing. Heh. Well, I learnt that I’m clearly in the wrong faculty when I was studying. This [...]

Must we all have big dreams?

Two weeks ago, one of my friends whom I met at a seminar introduced me to a business consultant. Over a cup of coffee, he (the business consultant) proposed that he do a free consultation of my business for me. The session was great - he got me thinking and planning my business [...]

What do I wanna be when I grow up?

I was tagged in a meme earlier by Andrew, asking me what I wanna do when I grow up! Well well well, this is a question that I think everybody ought to spend time seriously thinking about! Pilot Previously, (since young) I’ve thought about being a pilot. Yeah yeah, when I was young (not that I’m not [...]

Adware-lexa? There is Adware in the Alexa toolbar

Today I was wanting to be a “regular reader” to some of my sites, so I switched back to Internet Explorer, and I got myself equipped with the Google Toolbar and Alexa Toolbar. I didn’t have these installed on Firefox, because the SearchStatus add-on could help me [...]

Back from my break!

Phew, for the past 4 days, I have taken a break (from this blog), and took a trip out of the country! It was a wonderful weekend getaway, out of the busy city and hectic schedule, into a beach resort with nice blue seas with no cargo ships to be seen in the horizon. It [...]

IBM/Lenovo has taken one step ahead of their competitors by installing a “message centre” application together with the IBM Thinkpad laptops. This application sits in the system tray, and occasionally, a message or two will pop up, informing me of any product or driver updates that is available. I thought it was a nifty application, [...]

Desktop blog editors? Why not use WordPress?

These few days, I’ve taken a look at a couple of desktop blog editors like Performancing, BlogJet and w.Bloggar.
