A browser is a program you use to read this post now.(Just in case you do not know, no offence yo!)

Is there only one?
Now the question, how many browser do you use? If you are one of the dominating Windows XP users, I bet there’s only one you use. Internet Explorer. And why is that? It is only because Internet Explorer 6 is preinstalled with new copy of Windows XP. You get it free. Do you like it? Do you enjoy using it? I doubt that not much of you can really answer this, because there’s no comparison.

Bad experience..
I have Opera, Mozzilla and firefox installed on my debian box. No Microsoft, no Windows, no Internet Explorer, I’m done with those. Let’s not talk about flavor of operating system. I wonder if any of you, always turns on the Automatic Live Update in Windows like I used to do? Now this is the biggest drawback of MS that annoyed me to the maximum, day by day, my windows received updates, and mostly start with “Internet Explorer Security Update/Patch/Fix” and so on. The system disk (Drive C: or whatever your windows installed on) got bloated very fast. I used to install programs/games on a seperate harddisk, so my drive C: was only for windows. Only windows itself took 9GB+ of the harddisk space.

This dude is a godsend. I’m not bluffing you, he is. All his art works are done by using “The Gimp“, a GNU image manipulation program on linux. He has a frequently updated site about all this works, and A LOT of freebies like wallpapers, E-cards, and handphone themes. No point reading what I write about him, you definitely have to check out his site at :

These are the credits I wish to give to him.

• For his inspiration.
  I never thought Linux can be so beautiful and colorful, until I saw his KDE splash when I first using Redhat 9. Now I’ve switched to Debian, and happily stick with it. Still, his wallpapers are on my desktop all these years. If he can use linux platform to produce such beautiful and amazing works, I surely can use it too for my codes and writings. This is how his works inspired me, or maybe you are the next one.
• For his continuous contribution.
  His effort in promoting Gimp sets an huge example to the open source community. A total of 98MB free wallpapers in tarball, I’ve lost count of the total amount, all produced in Gimp. His posts on the site always include the link to gimp official site. This is the spirit of open source world, he’s definitely one of the pioneers.

Again, Hat off to Mr. Ayo with full respect. His full name is Alexis Younes.

I am not an art person, seriously. I can’t draw at all, with anything. I’m always amazed by people’s art works that are beautiful or meaningful. I express my feelings in words, they express in visuals.

This suscenter.com is a design institute in my city, Johor Bahru. Be Siow is the one who runs it, and some of his mates. These guys are so talented in everything they produce, 3d designs, flash, printed materials, web pages, interactive cds, anything visual. Further more, they provide quality design courses too on various subjects. You guys should really check their page out.

P/S: All posts in this category are out of good will, and courtesy. I do not get anything from adding them here.

This has been a happening topic among friends. Something is seriously not right with secondary school students in Malaysia.(partially of course).

There was a video clip posted on youtube.com, captured the scene of a gang of students(mostly girl) whacking an innocent girl student. Some heavy actions just like what you’ve watched in the hongkong movies. Now here comes the question, why did they do that? It’s not about the whacking I’m curious of, that was kind of normal back in our schooling days. The point is, why did they videoshoot the entire action, and posted it online? For what?

Make sure you’ve read the part 1 before going on.

Okay, the first choice of mine, and most of my contacts in Singapore, would be Worldpay.com.Very strong background, Swiss bank group, they have branch office in Singapore. I guess dealing with money is what they do best. During my first experience with them, the account activation charge was SGD 650++, the same per year, and now they don’t publish their package price on their web anymore, all you can do is fill in their form, and request quotation from them. So far I have not received any negative feedback from my clients that using worldpay service. Their WorldAlert anti fraud mechanism worths every penny, at additional cost of course. I’m not sure whether they deal with individuals or not though, all the sites I’ve dealt with, they have proper business registration at local authority.One thing for sure, worldpay deals with Malaysia.
