Actually, you can't find free wireless Internet connection at Bangkok's Airport. You can find a lot of open network, but you need to have a login id and password, so meaning that most of it is paid service. Not fun man! Airport should have provide free Wifi to travelers and anyone.

Thanks stickman guides on helping me accessing the "free" wifi at Bangkok Airport.


When you are at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, you will find a lot of wifi network, one of them is aotwifi.

Connect yourself into the network.

Start your web browser, I recommend Mozilla Firefox. Get Firefox with Google Toolbar for more secure browsing.

You will now land on a page where you are require to key in your login username and password.

Just type test for username and test for password.


You are now ready to surf the Internet. =) Happy surfing.

What free email service are you using? I am using Gmail.

I believe a lot people out there also uses Gmail. As for me, I think Gmail is the best free email service. Best of the best. I don't really set up Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook or any other email program to read my email. I just point my web browser to Gmail because it's fast and smooth. The UI is very simple, easy to use and navigate.

My first email was Hotmail, I don't like it though even though they just upgraded to Live Mail, it's not as smooth as Gmail. When composing mail with Hotmail, they place ads at the signature area. That sucks man although nobody would every bother it. I am still using Hotmail, as my Windows Live Messenger account, but I don't ask people email anything to me to that account.

Then I have tried Yahoo Mail, at least it's better than Hotmail. Quite fast too. Though, Yahoo also have a line of ads at the signature area like Hotmail. Not fun lah. Some more, Yahoo wants you to pay for a Pro account for larger attachment and pop access. Boo!

Gmail is the best. POP access for free, 20mb sending attachment, 2.8GB storage and counting, Gtalk build in, simple, easy to navigate around. =)

Oh my god! AdBux.org is actually a scam on making money online. I didn't do a research on it. adbuxtruth.blogspot.com have just made a new website call adbuxscam.com and write about it on the scam, go there to read the detail on Adbux's scam. I didn't bother it much as it's not making money online for me. However, I have see 1 friend of mine made $10 with Adbux. Even though if you can make money online with it, it will be very slow. So if you were reading my blog about Make Easy Money Online with AdBux, then I am wrong. Try other stuff, don't falls into the trap of Adbux. You can always make money online with Payperpost. =)

If you don't feel like logging into you web-based email account every time you want to check mail at your desk, a notifier program can tell you at a glance if you've got new mail by alerting you straight from you desktop or taskbar.

Notifier come in many forms, from shareware to desktop widgets for both Windows and Mac OS X.

Two good options are Yahoo! Widgets offers a free Yahoo! Mail Check and Google has a free Gmail Notifier program. - New York Times Special Features.


I think that Widget is cool looking on desktop, just like the Mac OS X's dashboard. However, if your computer have little ram like me (512mb of ram only), then I don't recommend you to use widgets, my Firefox alone already used up 18xmb of ram. I don't like lagness. So, have at least a GB of ram in your computer.

As for now, I don't have a lot of email received, not a businessman or anything, so I don't need a email notifier, I can always check my email when I want to.

Widgets will be cool as you can access your main account straight from your desktop, have a to do list, calendar and more. =)

First of all, I need to thanks Aidan for inviting me to join Pownce. I just wrote about Pownce recently. While, currently you can't sign up for Pownce yet as it is in beta. You need to get a invitation from a Pownce user like me =D or drop your email at the main page and wait for Pownce team to invite you.


I think Pownce is pretty cool. It's like MySpace/Facebook, I have my own Pownce page and I post all my short messages there. Besides that, I can also post links, upload file and events to share with my friends on my network at Pownce.

There is a Pro account which requires you to pay $20 for a year for these features :

• Send files up to 100 MB
• No advertisements

Well, I am not going to waste my money on that. I am ok with ads but sending files up to 100MB? I haven't try sending a file yet. =) Maybe someone want to sponsor me a Pro account, then I'll give it a try. Hehe


Like Twitters, there is a program for you to download into your computer. Mac OS and Windows supported. The program is quite nice looking. Before you install, you need to have Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) only you can install the little software on your computer for you to post message, links, events, and files. If you don't have AIR, you can download from their site.

However, Pownce doesn't have a widget for your website like Twitter. I believe maybe they will make one in the future.

Newly updated : Pownce is more likely like a social networking site like MySpace and Facebook with Twiiters. =D

Last time, before Google bought FeedBurner, there are 2 service that require an amount of money in order to use its feature which is the FeedBurner Stats Pro and MyBrand. Now, you can use the 2 PRO feature for FREE. Well, before that I also don't notice more about the pro feature, but now since it's free, I'll give it a shot.

FeedBurner Stats PRO

PRO is feed analytics taken to the next level. You will now have access to the number of people who have viewed or clicked individual content items in your feed and “Reach,” which estimates the daily number of subscribers who interacted with your feed content. You can turn this on by signing in to your account, navigating to the Analyze tab and heading to the FeedBurner Stats PRO section. Click the "Item Views" checkbox to activate these PRO features.

This feature is cool, but I don't have much reader yet. Well, if you stumble across my blog, why not subscribe to my feed for your reading pleasure? =)

MyBrand


Another Pro feature, this one is like having your feed address to me customize. For example, you use feeds.inicholas.net/(feed name). [note : iNicholas dot Net is not ready yet] If didn't use my brand, it will be feeds.feedburner.com/inicholas. Nothing much fancy me, but might be cool because it match your domain. FYI, you need to have a hosted website's domain in order to use this feature.

I still haven't try it yet, but I will give it a try soon when I am free. =) Have a great great day!

If Izwan never tell me about John Cow, I never know that it exist. Some one out there created a parody blog about John Chow the Dot Com Mogul call John Cow Dot Com. At first, i thought it was a fake, but the site really exist and have lots of interesting post about making mooney.

JohnCow.com was initially planned as a parody on the popular blog JohnChow.com. In the process of acquiring the domain an idea came to life. Why not adapt the winning formula and amplify it’s achievements? Using the platform John Chow uses as a tribute to his marketing skills? We will keep an eye out on the Internet’s biggest moooney-makers and publish their best ideas, projects and work. All so that you have a one-stop-shop for your entrepreneur’s needs. Hope you’ll enjoy JohnCow.com as much as we do. And don’t forget: Milk is good for you!

Somehow, that site is getting more and more popular and have 58 feed reader compare to my noob blog =( which only has 6 feed readers. Why I at first didn't think of making John Cow Dot Com? Haha, just kidding. Some people hate John Chow because he makes lot of money online. Well to me, I think John Chow is another site for me to learn how to make money online.

John Cow also provides tips on making money online, cool huh? So, mooo, anyone?

Creator and the man behind Digg, Kevin Rose just started a new Twitter-liked thing call Pownce.Why Kevin so creative? Why he have a good brain to start a new thing up? Digg.com is one of the Google AdSense top paid site, 6 figure income per month. I want to be like him one day!!

Let's get back. I have Twitter account but I didn't use it much. Hehe. Don't know why, but now I am waiting for Pownce invitation. As for now, Pownce is only open to invited members. You can submit a request for invitation at the site or ask someone who have Pownce account to invite you.


What you do with Pownce is, it's like Twitter, you post a short message saying what you are doing now and share it with the world, your friend, your fans. You can also send files, links and events to your friends, create a network of the people you know and then share stuff with them. There are different theme to set for your Pownce page.


What I think is, it's kinda cool because the site is better looking than Twitter. HAHAHA. Twitter is very popular now, guess I shall add Twitter here, SOON. =)

Ok last time I had a problem with my Windows Live Messenger. It always sign in sign out sign in sign out. So annoying and make my computer so laggy. Last Friday, I scan my PC with Spyware Doctor and clear all the stupid spyware, surprisingly on that night, my WLM didn't sign out. Happy of course, but now the problem come back again. I somemore scan virus, 0 threats, don't know why I got this problem! I can't chat with my friend smoothly already, it will separate us for a few minutes then only can chat back. Sigh.

There a new software for download at Apple website which is Safari 3 Beta for Mac and PC. Now Windows user like me can use Safari web browser for surfing the web. You must remember that it is still in Beta phase so, it might be buggy and not perfect yet.

This was announced on the recent WWDC 07. The keynote was shown live last night at 1am Malaysian Time, because today I have school so I could not watch it last night.



I of course downloaded this browser to try out and see how good it is. I never used the previous Safari before as I am on Windows. Poor me, don't have $ to get a Mac.



Before and now, I am always using Mozilla Firefox. Althought there is Internet Explorer 7 in my PC, I hate to use it because of it is very slow to load and lag of plug-ins. What so special about the Safari 3? Nothing much I feel, it uses different font type, better looking User Interface than IE and Firefox, you know Mac is always very nice. All the other feature is just same as Firefox.



The Down Side?
It uses more memory than Firefox. Safari uses 121k MB while Firefox uses 61k MB while 2 running together at the same time. Sometimes my Firefox can go quite high. I need more RAM! I think that nowadays, most program uses a lot of memory so need at least 1GB RAM.

Apple's site claim that Safari is the world's best browser. So is it real? I don't know, I think people are starting to migrate from Internet Explorer to Firefox, but now comes another one GOOD browser, I would say, why not give it a try? Firefox still win Safari yet because of various plugins and skins for download which you give you try out new features.

Just now I tried Safari, the page load is kinda slow. Maybe is my Internet connection was slow, or maybe not, haha.

In conclusion, I like the UI, looks like iTunes for Windows, it's tabbed browsing feature, but I will still sticked with Firefox. :)

Download Safari 3 Beta
Get Firefox with Google Toolbar

Last week, I got news that Windows Live Messenger latest version which is in BETA has been leaked out on the Internet. I tried to download it, but can't find the file. I know it is available if download via BT, but I was just lazy to do so. Haha, but anyway, after a few days, the official BETA version release on the net. So what is so special about the new one?



Nothing much I think, just improved UI design which make it blend into Windows Vista theme. When it first release, the LEAKED version was only 1 language which is Spanish, but this official one consist of a few language, so now you got no worry if you don't know Spanish.



You can read here for the full what's new in Windows Messenger 8.5 BETA.
There is also new version of Apatch and Messenger Plus! Live for this BETA release.
Download Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta here.

My WLM gone crazy, I don't know what happened to it or my computer, it will sign out after some times, I tried to uninstall everything and install again but still the same. Guess I need to reformat my PC already. Anyway, if you want to chat with me on WLM, please leave your email in comment area, I'll add you or send me an email. =)

While the Singaporean are enjoying 10mbps Internet service, we Malaysian just announced the 4mbps broadband by TMNet. Yes, it's finally here! But the price is nono. Currently RM198/month on promotion for people who sign up before 17th June 2007, thereafter s RM268/month. This is good for people who have a few computers at home sharing an Internet connection.


Image from LiewCF : Broadband package price.

If compare to our neighbour country Singapore, Singtel provides Singaporean 5mbps broadband service at $49.95 which is RM110.83. Let's take the promotion price, RM198-RM110.83=RM87.17. RM87.17 is a lot of money and with for a cheaper price, they get 1mbps faster than our fastest home broadband package.


And even, their fastest is not 4mbps but is 10mpbs for home and still cheaper than our 4mbps. Their 10mbps package is $68(RM150.95). This sucks man! I think this is because that broadband penetration in our country is just 7%, guys, you should starts using broadband at home and throw away dial-up, more broadband user, more broadband package, and pay less!
Now my current 512KBps already not stable already, sometime fast sometime slow, please give us stable connection. If you TMNET can give us a sure answer that this 4mb package is very stable, then I'll say why not give it a try?

For Better Broadband In Malaysia, Support RedesignMalaysia
Note : 4m package is not available everywhere in Malaysia, available at limited place only.

Technorati just changed their website design and it looks more cool right now and more easy for searching blogs. The first page when you go in you will see some featured top blog, videos and music. Besides it will be all the Technorati Tags that is people often search.


They also added a new search site. You can go to http://s.technorati.com or http://search.technorati.com. I feel it maybe better than Google Blog Search cause Technorati is more on the blog side.



If you have a blog, you must sign up for Technorati because it's the best blog search engine to me. My 2 cent.
