Blogspot Down

Posted by danielctw On August - 23 - 2007

As of 22nd August around midnight Asia KL time, blogspot is down for the moment. So for those blogspot users, do be patient and I will think either the server’s been hacked or they’re doing some upgrading at the moment. Well currently it didn’t affect some of the accounts.

This is one reason why I prefer moving to my own wordpress blog. Cases like this hardly happens as you get direct support from the host party while blogspot puts you into a fix not knowingly what happen. Anyway, there are good points and bad points though. Anyway always backup your data in case of sudden missing data. It’s always good practise even for WordPress and Blogspot users.

Seeing that blogspot was down, it did affect lots of accounts in the PayPerPost link availability check for posties taking opportunities. So due to that, PPP has currently stop posties of blogspot taking opps. For more information view HERE.

Jealous Easily

Posted by danielctw On August - 22 - 2007

JEALOUSY!! It’s easily felt by everyone. Well perhaps if you haven’t felt jealousy at all, either you’re not human or you were actually you’re from some planet called ZORK that has a lot of DORKS. bla bla yadda yadda etc etc…..

So why the sudden talk about jealousy. Well, you know when there’s always a place to rely on. Take for an instance in the college or high school, for girls. A group of you girls are studying in the same faculty and suddenly this cute guy comes into the class. “OMG!!! He’s so cute…” So now suddenly you feel that should get to know that guy. But then suddenly you see that ‘cute’ guy is always talking with the friend you knew since primary school. O_o Well, that’s when jealousy starts hitting at you.

OK OK!!! So now you get the scenario. What does that leads to? Hmm… let’s think in my weird way ok. Based on my predicament, jealousy can lead a way to a spoilt friendship that was built like in a decade or more and just be destroyed by some cute guy/girl that comes along the way. Well, like they said friendship lost is one hard to find. So if you’re feeling jealous cause your friend is with the dream guy or girl, then search yourself, why do you even need to be jealous just to like spoil your friendship.

Though, if the friend you thought you have is showing off, now that’s another story. Go take the carrot and shove it up his/her ass if they do that. Then you have every right reason to say it’s not due to jealousy but because of some stuck up actions they did. So be it…

So what do you think contributes to most people getting jealous. For those in a relationship, I am sure you’ll get jealous more than often!! Well, some say it’s good to develop their feelings, a little bit of jealousy let’s the other partner knows that they care. Hmm…. anyone care to enlighten me on this???

To Get More Comments

Posted by danielctw On August - 21 - 2007

Thinking of getting more backlinks from other sites and blogs. There are some steps as well, and some of them I have even practiced it on danielctw.com.

Most of us know that Google now rates even your backlinks that now people cannot simply link from an empty page and help push their Page Rank up. But anyway, let’s talk about how we all love to blog something else. WordPress users, you’re so fortunate as we all have this plugin which is the top commentators plugin. This work wonders, why?

First you encouraged people to comment on your post and with that, the person who commented gets a link back. Now that’s awesome. Well, don’t believe me? You can see in most blog sites that uses wordpress, there are many people who uses the top comment function. Well sad to say for Blogger or Blogspot users, currently NO ONE is able to come out with a Top Commentator plugin or widget yet. Even for Top Recent Posts, there is no standalone widget for it, except third party ones which tracks your visits since the time you start using it.

So now you have it, you wanted more comments on your blog, do the following. There is another plugin which helps do link back to your own post. Bloggers will call it similar post. Well, it browses through your other post to see any similar topics and displays them. Now ain’t that efficient, not only you get readers to travel through your posts for further information, you’ll also get traffic on other posts. Though, I still haven’t really take time to implement this, but I will in the coming future.

For now this is just a brief introduction and help for those who wants more comments on their webpages. Stay tune though for more examples as I riddled thru my own experience.

Disney’s Beauty & Beast (Canton)

Posted by danielctw On August - 21 - 2007

So I was browsing and blog hopping, and I was looking thru Ellone‘s blog and I can’t stop laughing! Why??? Here’s why??

If there ever was a remake of the beauty and the beast in Hong Kong and it’s in cantonese, be sure to laugh you head off. It’s too hilarious. Sorry for those that don’t understand cantonese, well, I sure wished there was a subtitle somewhere.

Till then enjoy this short movie clip.

danielctw.com is back

Posted by danielctw On August - 21 - 2007

After days of BIS (Blog Insufficiency Syndrome), danielctw was left hanging from the minute he knew that his blog was down because of bandwidth limit breached. It was that serious ok!! I cannot live without blogging… haha.. though not to the extreme.

Well, so now that I am back, what can one expect. I am back with new gadgets and new toys to play with. Finally my laptop has finally arrived. Even my new gadget, my very own D40 is here. But then all this obtained at a cost *sobs* $$$$ GONE!! But then in order to gain something, something needs to be sacrificed right? It’s so near the ShoutOut KL meet-up which would be one activity that I wouldn’t like to miss. Get to meet the rest of them shouters. So shouters get ready to sing your heart out on that day in Redbox.

I was amazed by the thoughts you people brought up about certain subjects touching on emotions and such that it brings danielctw great joy to write more and more thought provoking articles. Though sometimes being all too serious will kill the fun, there will be humorous posts and not forgetting one of the most important thing, the travel and makan-makan(eating) adventures of the blogger danielctw himself. I travel, I show, I eat, I show also!!! Who knows, you might like the places.

Hmm… my hand is so so so the itchy typing out this post that I hardly had time for my dessert, well, eating Pulut Hitam err.. not sure what it’s called in English though. Well, guessed I shouldn’t just type all the time, is time to get back to some eating business. Ho ho ho ho!!
