I know many of you have Gmail account and make it as your primary email or at least just use it as for testing purposes (some peoples love to have many emails just for nothing). But did you know by having a Gmail account you can use Googlepages and make it as files storage?

What I like the most about Googlepages is I can upload files to Google server and I can direct download the files without any problem. Although the space is limited, only 100Mb is allowed but it does not bother me.

I have some mp3 files that I want to stream on my other website. I don’t want to upload it on my server because if peoples found out the links, they will download the mp3 files and suck up my bandwidth. I don’t like that. But thanks to Googlepages because it allows me to upload the mp3 files and I can stream directly from their server.

Working as a freelancer in Wordpress theme coding needs more browsers to check the theme alignment and the structure. Because each browser will display the website differently especially in IE6 and lower version.

The navigation bars are half hidden in IE6 but not in IE7

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.

Even though you subscribe the 384kbps or 3.6Mbps Celcom 3G broadband package, it does not guarantee that you will get the maximum speed.

Speedtest is a website that allows you to check your broadband speed. When you visit Speedtest website, it will locate your location based on your IP address. Then it will display servers that near to you. The recommended server is mark with yellow. You can choose the recommended server or you can choose other server to start the test.

The result after I got the HSDPA signal

It will start with the download test first and then it runs the upload test. After both tests are completed, Speedtest will display the result in .gif image which you can use to share on your website or in forum.

It is really amazing when only in two days, my new website has been listed in Google search result. I was doing some research about Nseries blog and suddenly I saw my new website, My Nseries Blog, which I registered the domain on 5th November has been listed in Google.

I use the keyword “nseries blog” and found my website at the 8th rank in the first result page. It is really fast for Google to detect new website and I hope this website will get good PR so the rank will be higher in the future.

What is My Nseries Blog?

My Nseries Blog is my new and my 5th website which will focus on Nokia Nseries phones. This website is currently in development and there are many things need to be improved.

I just noticed today that I am using the new version of Gmail. I noticed it when I saw my email address is being displayed at the title bar. You will not see this if you are using the older version.

Then, to make it confirm, I saw beside the Settings, there is a link to Older Version. I clicked it and it sent me to the older version and there is no email address being displayed at the title bar.

Then what next? I went check out the new features like the Contacts manager, the More Actions drop-down menu, Chat.

Have you tried Yahoo Messenger 9 yet? It was released last Tuesday but still in Beta.

For me, there are not many new features found in the new Yahoo Messenger 9 except the interface. You can choose your favourite skin from 7 skins available. The skins are nice but some people said that this new Yahoo Messenger uses more memory compares to the previous version. This new version also included with 6 new emoticons.

Because of this version is in Beta stage, I found a bug when I received a file from my friend. Maybe it just happens to me, I don’t know but I hope their programmers can check this problem for further investigation.
