Spammers have taken over many tunnels to reach us from emails until social networks. Now they have a new tactics to achieve that β ASCII Art.
In order to get through spam filters, spammers have started to use ASCII to represent words. Even though it’s not entirely effective, it still allows spammers to convey their message to us.
I started this blog on January 2007. That was a time when most of my friends didn’t know how a blog is operated. Started up K-Director Dot Com wasn’t an easy task to me as there’s not much resources for me to learn how to begin a blog.
Researching and reading online had became my main resources to customize my blog and sharpen my writing skill. It was a tough path when everything was in dark, unsure, and scrabble.
2 more weeks for Beijing Olympics. What inspires me the most is how big toys out there using this opportunity to commercialize their own products. Some of the ideas are amazingly creative and impressive. Take a look the videos below to get some inspirations.
I joined BarCamp Malaysia today since morning till evening in Kuala Lumpur. This was my first official event as in a blogger’s stand. It took a whole day long but it was pretty enjoyable.
I didn’t bring my camera so these were what I basically involved in BarCamp Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia day 1.
8am: Registered myself and got the freebies from BarCamp. I was the first attendee. LOL.
Some thoughts came across my mind few days ago. Somehow, I suddenly realized blogging industry is similar to food selling industry. If it’s hard for you to relate both industries, read my opinions below.
1. Flexibility
Food hawker sell food at any place, anytime.
Blogger blogs any place, anytime too.
2. Content is the king
Consumers patronage certain hawker because of the food (content).
Readers support certain blogger because of the blog entries (content).
On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming β coal-fired electricity β by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.
In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference β from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.
Last Saturday night I had a gathering with my ex-coursemates – Alex, Isabella, KuanYew, Kevin, Hwei Yee, and Kymberly at DaoRae. DaoRae is a Korean BBQ restaurant.
(Located in Taipan, opposite McDonald)
We ordered few plates of meats, very small portion dishes, soup, raw beef with egg and rice.
Kuan Yew, used to be our chef in our uni life… (Yew, I will remember your steak forever!)
Blogging is fun but when it involves typing, planning and checking, there are certain things I believe most bloggers will do in their “pre-blogging” stage. The following are the things I will do before I start writing a post.
Turn Off IM
Turn off all the chatting program like MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger and Skype before start blogging. Actually it’s not about people will message me while I am writing a post. But it’s because I like to maximize it and see who’s online, then minimize it back without sending any message. I can do that every 5 – 10 minutes if I am surfing web.
Turn Off Music
I am this kind of people who can get distracted by music easily. I can’t concentrate in thinking when there is a music on. Music or good songs can conquer my mind without any force. So I must turn off music before I start to blog. This even applied when I am doing programming in office.
Planning
Planning is important for us to write a fluent and readable article. Normally I will jot down all the points and keywords before I elaborate it. If necessary, a mind map will be done too.
Researching
Doing research is a must. The idea can’t just fall from sky. I need to get the information, statistics, official reports and references in order to get more details about the topic I am going to talk about.
Preparing Print Screen
To enhance a post’s readability, related images are always encouraged. Normally I will save an image from its official website or else I will print screen it from its reviews. Then, I will save it as png and upload it to my web hosting space.
Conclusion
So what do you do before you start writing a post? Share with me here.
