Don’t forget to renew your domain name

This domain will expire on 19th December 2007. So I decided to renew this domain for longer periods. Instead of renewing it to one year, I have extended it to 2 years (want to extend it to 5 years but don’t have enough money :p ).

Why you should renew your domain? Of course the main reason is you don’t want to lose your domain. If you lose the domain, you need to pay thousands or even millions just to get back the domain. So you choose, which one is better? Pay $35 renewal fee (nowadays the price is cheaper) or $372 million to get back the mp3.com domain.

And if you want to renew your domain, I suggest you to renew it for more than one year. Like what I did, I extended this domain for two years. It is true that you need to pay more but it is worth. Because your website will be ranked greater in search engines because search engine like Google will check when your domain will expire.

Wubi – The fastest and easiest way to install Ubuntu

I really want to use Ubuntu. Even though I already got the free CDs (read this post on how you can get free Ubuntu CDs) since version 5.10 but I still not yet install Ubuntu on my computer. Psst…btw I have the latest Ubuntu version 7.10. There are 15 CDs left. Who want one? Lol…

While I was looking for something that is interesting about Ubuntu, I found this cool application that will install Ubuntu directly from your Windows. No need to do partitioning, no need to smash your head to do the Ubuntu setup, the only thing that you need is, Wubi.

My computer has IE7 and I can’t get to have IE6 installed because only one version is allowed in a PC. But there is a solution if you want to have multiple IEs on your computer. We called it as Multiple IE.

Makcik PC – The World Slimmest PC

Makcik PC, I was laughed when I heard that word came out from Malaysia Prime Minister mouth when he launched this Makcik PC at Putra World Trade Center in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. I don’t know why the developer, MIMOS, named the world slimmest PC as Makcik PC. Why not name it with other coolest name such as myPC or myComp or anything that relates to Malaysia.
