Hi there,
Just want to share I’m going to get a new laptop for use on my presentation at client sites.
Here is criteria I’m using to select my new presentation weapon.
- Mainly for portability
- Should support for partial works on web development using Ruby on Rails
- Long life battery
- Looking good to great
- In a reasonable price tag
- 13″ screen, no smaller display because I used to do web development sometime
If you are using the same criteria as mine, you should ends up the same with what I’ve chosen.
It’s Apple Macbook Air 13″ (Mid 2011) because it ends up with these criteria well.
Here is its own strength points.
- Ultra portability, very slim and light weight
- Battery life is so good for me, maybe the help of Mac OSX
- Even the CPU is ULV series but its performance also gained by using SSD storage
- It’s fast enough for everyday use and satisfy for my Ruby on Rails web development
- Great display resolution for 13″ screen
- Price is fair
I will review more soon. Just write this short post to test a functionality in my new Facebook app.
Thanks,
Seree
As you might known that I’ve posted about one of my top SEO tool in my arsenal is ScrapeBox.
Last few days, I feel like ScrapeBox is hogging almost of my home network connection’s resource.
So I decide to move ScrapeBox from home PC to work on VPS.
After I’ve research some to find out where is the best VPS provider that fits for ScrapeBox and it doesn’t cost too high to invest.
And I found XSServer.eu is in the case, it is proven to be able to use ScrapeBox and many white-to-black marketers are using its service.
Then, I pick up a $35/month plan immediately for unmetered bandwidth + 1GB ram which I think it is best fit for ScrapeBox while another plan such as $25 for 512MB of ram also fit for tiny use of ScrapeBox as well but I think I will be a hardcore user so I decide to get at least 1GB of ram. Minimal.
After an hour since I’ve made a payment to XSServer, I got an email notified that they created my VPS machine successfully.
I’m a bit happy for their quick response to create a VPS. Anyway, I think they can make it quicker too.
Now I open up my Mac OS X Lion and open Microsoft RDC and connect my VPS remotely. Success.
Anyway, after I’ve uploaded my ScrapeBox archive file into my VPS, I can’t run it successfully.
ScrapeBox show me that it might have some thing block ScrapeBox or some application tampered the TCP data.
If you got the same error like mine, you can have a test by going to Help->Test Server menu and see the result.
For me, I got 5 green lights and red light on the server 1′s Access Test.
This mean I’m getting a problem with ScrapeBox now.
Can’t make it works, so I guess it should be some issue with VPS environment because I didn’t installed any other softwares on it and it is pure vanilla.
So I begin to create a support ticket with XSServer.eu support department.
Well worth, like what I’ve heard from research, they response very quickly. If you are in front of me, I would say… “It’s f*ck’n fast response!”
Anyway, even they have fast response time, but their information not so helpful for my case because finally they want me to contact ScrapeBox to troubleshoot the thing and said it’s not the problem with VPS.
Ok, ok, then I try to contact ScrapeBox. If you are trying to contact ScrapeBox at their contact page, you will ends up seeing it let you contact by sending email to scrapeboxhelp (a) gmail.com.
Anyway, from what I’ve tried myself, I suggest you to use support (a) scrapebox.com instead of the one on gmail.
They do response on the second one much quicker.
And it is awesome!
Their support staff is very very informative, helpful and get straight into the core issue.
They are very professional. Even I don’t know who is the person I communicate with but I would like to say he/she is very professional and impress me.
Even the second license transfer fee, they waived for me.
Finally it works…
By a prove from ScrapeBox log that it is some issue with VPS environment itself, not the ScrapeBox itself.
So I send this information to XSServer.eu support staff, and they response with a very good effort.
They create a pure new VPS in the another node of their network to help me immediately.
And it is working like a charm now! New license is transferring to my new VPS and I can’t wait to get ScrapeBox running now.
6 green lights are great. I really love it.
If you read ’til this line, then I quite sure you already know how to make a great support like this. Right?
Thanks,
Yes, finally, it came, WordPress 3.1
Have you checked your email last night?
Yup, WordPress 3.1 was released and I just upgraded my personal blog to see if it is worth to upgrade my all existing money making blogs or not.
I’ve summarized some good point after upgraded to WordPress 3.1 here to let you know what’s new is WordPress 3.1.
What’s new in WordPress 3.1 for money making blogger?
- Internal linking browser – if you would like to link to your existing content such as a specific post or page, you can browse it.
- More working space on writing interface – many unnecessary buttons, menus have been hidden in the “Screen Options” at the top right side
- Many great features for plug-in, theme developers
- Some cool features for WordPress Multisite
Is it worth for you to spend a time to upgrade all your money making blogs to WordPress 3.1?
Honestly and personally, my answer is ‘no’.
Why?
- Too few changes made for blogger to help increasing their productivity.
- Risk is too high if your money making blog is in production, can you accept the risk that some plug-ins and themes might break your blog after upgrade to WordPress 3.1?
Anyway, if my blog is for fun, I will definitely upgrade it asap.
Hope this help,
Well, here I come to share my experience about the NSD Powerball.
As currently, I’ve ‘real’ retired from my full time job getting salary since Feb 2011 and working for my online business seriously.
I got more available time to work, exercise and I’m currently sticking with playing Badminton with my family.
It’s fun and I love to keep myself on the competitive area. 
I’ve play and found my wrist is lack of power and flexibility, so, I try to find out how to improve/strengthen my wrist quickly using some source of science.
And finally I found about NSD Powerball.
What is the Powerball?
You can find out full details at http://www.nsdpowerballs.com but the short brief about it is…
Powerball is a tool you can use to strengthen your wrists and arms.
You can bring it with you anywhere because it is actually a small ball with some electric circuit ball inside.
At the top of it, you will see a small meter which it try to tell you how fast you can turn/twist your wrist, when your wrist is more strength, the number will goes higher and higher.
Here is what is the max RPM I can do in the first day after got the powerball.
Anyway, if you just got the powerball same as me, you can to beware how you handle it in your hand or you will get some pain like me…
Well, now let’s talk how you and me play it.
1st, you need to start the powerball, this can be done by 2 ways…
- Using the red cable bundled with the powerball set. I need about 10-20 times practice before I can start it with 100% success rate. Just pull the cable quick enough.
- Using your thumb to flick it, I can’t do it yet, when I succeeded, I will provide a tip here. My goal is to master this approach in the next week.
2nd, just twist your wrist only to keep the powerball spinning…
You will hear a spinning sound from the Gyro scope within the powerball, the sound will louder if you make a higher RPM.
The powerball will burn your arm’s power in no time from now, if you would like a hard experience, just spin your wrist quicker and quicker.
My arm’s power was burnt down in less than 30 seconds after a quicker spin!
Oh man, this is what I really want, The Powerball!
You will wonder like me that WTF the powerball can be done!
Even it is just a small ball, it is very very heavy when you spin the powerball.
After a month, I will report here again how much I gain from the Powerball when I play Badminton.
Here is the video of me spinning the Powerball for the first time!
My first spin of NSD Powerball
BTW: Beware of low quality of the Powerball! Please make sure you get a high quality, lifetime guarantee from NSD Powerball, not a copy from China.
What are you waiting for?
Find and get a Powerball now!
Last night, it happens to me, my iPhone 4…
I have downloaded the iOS 4.3 beta from my developer subscription and restored my device and finally I got told by iTunes that it can’t activate this device because I haven’t added my UUID into my provisioning portal yet!
OMG, I actually forget it!
So, now, how can I look at my UUID as the iTunes itself just say it can’t activate my iPhone without showing any other screen that let me look at its UUID.
What?
Luckily, I found from Google that I can see the UUID by clicking on the Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More info
Then select the USB device that shown as iPhone and you can look at its serial number, actually it is the same as UUID.
Just copy and paste it into your provisioning portal and re-plug iPhone and iTunes will activate it now.
Very lucky for me that I found the solution or my iPhone 4 will turn into a f*ck’n ass junk!
Thanks god.
Hi there,
Today just want to share when you have a question regards to WordPress especially when you want to making money using WordPress, you can ask it at WordPressMagician.com
It is one of my site that I will responsible to try to find a solution for you.
See you there, WordPressilm!
Are you infopreneur yet?
If you want to make much money while using a small investment and you are not an infopreneur yet, please read a little bit in this post why you have to hurry up participating in this infopreneur world.
The benefits of being infopreneur
- Small investment while the potential of making money is very large
- Large ROI and short time to break even
- Almost of the process can be outsourced
- You don’t have to communicate very well to brand yourself
- You can be anything you want on Internet, just how you brand your image
- Less competitors by now
- Many tools can support your works
BTW, what is infopreneur?
I’m not going to open wikipedia then copy and paste here but I’m going to explain what I’ve understand about it from my real-world experiences.
Infopreneur is a person who is trading between money and information over the Internet.
Sounds easy?
Yes, it is.
And the truth is, you can make a fortune by being an infopreneur easily, but you have to learn and follow the right track, do not overloaded with JUNKS which you can find everywhere by now.
Try to find some course that show a realistic result, not the course that claims to make a million in a month. I’m not saying it is impossible but it is not fit from newbies in the market.
Find a course that you can reach to the owner easily, this is important because you will be able to ask, join venture with him which will make a fortune for you easily and using so short time.
At the beginning, making $300-$600 in a month is a good starting, if you want to make more and more, you have to be a strategic infopreneur, not an ordinary infopreneur.
I’ll share some resources about being a good strategic infopreneur soon.
Hee ya,
Just got an iPad from friend traveling to US.
From what I have played about a week. I found it really attracted me much more than I think.
- very fast responsive.
- rich of content through iTunes.
- big screen expand the opportunities to do things on the device.
Anyway, from my point of view, it has some flaws.
- a bit heavy?
- I hate on screen keyboard. ;(
- app is a bit expensive when compare to iPhone.
However, I am very happy that I got it. 
Cheers,
Seree W.
