Free Name Card

07

May

I just got my free name card a week ago. The paper quality and its printing is really fine. Couldn’t ask for a better name card for its free of charge!

One unexpected fuss during the delivery of this shipment from the USA is that, the local mail centre had classified it as an electronic device and it required custom clearance. I had to personally go there and declare it otherwise. Damn. I thought it was the Fish Eye No.2 White Knight that I’ve bought on eBay a week ago. Turns out, it’s just a pile of free name card. Not that I’m complaining, but I was really expecting the White Knight. Really potong stim.

Anyway, here are the name cards.

Price Increase on Domain names

20

October

Now, I’m USD1.04 poorer each year paying domain names charges, and that’s just the price of one. I had about 5 of them. Too bad I didn’t renew for 10 years last time when it’s cheaper.

Namecheap had increased their price from USD8.88 to USD9.29, whereas their competitor Godaddy had it selling at USD9.99, it was USD8.95.

In April 2007, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved certain domain registries to increase their prices. Domain registries are the private companies which manage the registration, technical operations, and control the allocation policies of the TLD’s for which they are responsible.

Domain registries VeriSign(.com, .net tld’s), Afilias(.info tld), Neulevel(.biz tld) and Public Interest Registry(.org tld) applied for and received price increases and have announced they will be raising their wholesale prices to all registrars including us.

In light of that decision, NameCheap.com will be adjusting its pricing on Sunday, October 14, 2007 as follows:

.com domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.net domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.org domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.info domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year
.biz domain renewals, transfers and new registrations: Old pricing $8.88, new pricing $9.29 per year

I think this is not triggered by the recent oil price increase, is it no?

Make the Switch to Mozilla Firefox

09

December

If you ask me, what are the chances that I will browse in an Internet Explorer ever again. My answer is, rare, almost none. Unless of course, for that occasional Windows Updates (The Windows Update website won’t work on other browsers other than IE) for security patches, and patches, and more patches. Or, clicking that mail button in MSN Messenger which triggers the IE browser, or, checking if my CSS designs work in IE.

Since I’ve made that switch to Firefox a year ago, I’ve never looked back since. In fact, my Windows Desktop Cleaner Wizard even suggested me to remove rarely or unused shortcuts, such as this one.
Desktop Cleanup Wizard asks me to delete Microsoft Internet Explorer
A never been used Microsoft Internet Explorer shortcut. That’s just too bad. Gotta get rid of it now.

The reasons for the switch are straight and simple. What IE users would be suffering then, pop-ups, spywares, viruses, security issues, “the” switch had helped millions worldwide to end their nightmares. Firefox does best to fend off malicious warez and improve security strengths.

Following streams of tremendous conversions and support, Firefox’s effective marketing campaigns would become the first real threat to Microsoft web browser’s stronghold monopoly since they shipped IE free with their Windows 98 operating system back in 1998. The software giant then took rigorious measures to patch and improve their browser’s security, but in the process, revealing the ugly sides of their browsers, it seems.

Tons of great feedbacks can’t be wrong. Enough to prove that Firefox is worth every single byte on your hard disk. The thing is, everyone loves Firefox and its creative marketing campaigns. Users had the chance be involved in the effort to market the products they loved, and who better to speak and spread the satisfaction than the users themselves? Word of mouth is ultimately the best marketing tool.

Wait no more alright, make the switch to Firefox now! Don’t forget to check out their extensions page for more nifty functions. For those of you who fancy colorful themes, check out their themes page and get ready to change the skin of your fox as you wish.

If anyone has ideas on how to change the default browser in MSN Messenger, do let me know. I would appreciate that! In the mean time, Microsoft marketing geeks, come and convince me and see if you could get me to restore that Microsoft IE shortcut back on to the desktop again.
