Is it true lack of posting will decrease our website traffics? Some people say that they need to update their website everyday so the traffics will steady. Well, I can say it is 50% right and 50% it is wrong. Why?

It is true that your traffics will decrease if you don’t update your website. But this only applies to a new website. New website does not has many contents and only some of the contents win the top rank in Search Engine Result Page (SERP). Or maybe completely lost from the competition. If your website is new and you are so lazy to update your website, you need to focus on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You need to do a lot of research, implement what you found, and see how it is perform.

And it is wrong if your website is popular and well known by all people around the World (or at least people who looking for something in search engines). Some popular websites does not has new update for about a week or so but the traffics they got are stable. And even sometimes they get higher traffics. This is because many of the traffics coming from the search engines and from referral links. They have many contents and the website gets popular because of they win the keyword competition. Let say if someone search for “the grabber” a tool to download Rapidshare files (Rapidshare has changed the code so it does not work anymore), what do you expect from the result? See and find out yourself.

By default, Huawei E220 can only support up to 3.6Mbps speed. In Malaysia, 3.6Mbps is the top speed that 3.5G broadband users can get. But the truth is, it is just a fantasy. No one will get that speed.

By default, Huawei E220 only can handles 3.6Mbps connection

I even asked Celcom technician to do speedtest at place. Do you want to know how much speed that he got? Only 1.2Mbps. And the test was done in the morning (at low peak time). And when I asked why he only got 1.2Mbps and not 3.6Mbps or even 2Mbps? Here is what he replied,

“This is because our server can’t support so many users. If there are many users use the Internet at one time, the slowness will happen.”

Duh…what a very frustrating answer. Why don’t you guys (Celcom) use our money to upgrade the server? It is better than hearing our complaints every minutes and seconds.

But this “hack” can make it to 7.2Mbps

Ok, back to the article. How you can “hack” your Huawei E220 USB modem to make it supports up to 7.2Mbps speed? By default, Huawei E220 will only can operates at 3.6Mbps. But by doing this “hack” you can make it to operate at 7.2Mbps.

I am busy lately and really don’t have time to pay attention to my Wordpress plugin development. Recently I received many emails and complaints about the problem with my Site Statistics plugin. The plugin does not count the category correctly. It is because Wordpress is using new table structure which is it combines category and tag in the same table.

And thanks to Fabian Terh for the fix. New version has been released today. Site Statistics v1.7 is the latest version which is compatible with Wordpress v2.3 and above. If you found any problems about the plugin, feel free to contact me.

I found this effect at Neo’s blog. I don’t think it is suitable to use on my website so I use it on my personal website instead. You can see the demo at my personal blog or just visit Neo’s blog.

drop-shadow

To setup this effect is not difficult. It only involves CSS and a shadow image. First what you need to do is download this shadow image and upload it to your theme image folder. Like in my case, I uploaded it into /images.

The combination of username-password is the popular method to authenticate someone that he or she is the authorized person to use a service or has a privilege. Username can be viewed clearly but the password is hidden behind the asterisks. Although the password is hidden but we still can view it using software that is available from the Internet.

Snadboys’ Revelation is a freeware tool that you can use to reveal password behind the asterisks. I have tested it on my FTP client and it really works. I can see my hidden password like in the screenshot below.

reveal-password

After you have installed SnadBoys’ Revelation, run the software and drag the crosshair cursor to the asterisks. Then, the password will be revealed in Text of Window Under ‘Cricle’ + ‘Cursor’ .
