Sending Large Files

Posted by Adi Wong On May - 12 - 2008

filemail

Filemail is a new service which allows you to send huge files to your friends, business partners or clients.  I was looking for this service because I needed to send an artwork file to my client but it is at around 55mb and trying to upload to my hosting server via ftp seems to be a problem. I am not sure about the reason myself as well.

They have premium service but the free account just works fine with me.

This is how filemail works. filemailexplainedsmall

WordPress Video Theme

Posted by Adi Wong On May - 8 - 2008

Quommunicationis came out with a new type of Video Theme for WordPress blog. The theme is very well designed with its placing, neat design and cool navigation panel for the videos.

Although YouTube video look a bit distorted because of the size of the video, but video from Vimeo is just perfect with this wordpress theme.  Take a look at the ping screen, it look pretty nice for a  Video  Blog theme.

It is not free. The price for this theme is $95/site license and will be cheaper when you buy more sites license.

I tried installing a new blog with Alex King’s Popularity Contest Plugin. The new blog is still under construction, therefore I could not expose the domain yet. Unfortunately, when I was about to activate the plugin, it shows “Plugin Cannot Be Activated Due To Fatal Error”. I tried my previous method of manually creating the table for this plugin, but it does not work anymore.

Fortunately, I found the solution. It is still a little hard to look for the solution because it is quite a long post. I think this should do the tric:-

Open pupularity-contest.php

Goto Line 59

Replace require('../../wp-blog-header.php'); with require('../wp-blog-header.php')

Also you will need to do the following if the top alone does not work. This step is to create the tables needed for the plugin.

CREATE TABLE `wp_ak_404_log` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`url_404` text NOT NULL,
`url_refer` text,
`user_agent` text,
`date_gmt` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=100 ;

CREATE TABLE `wp_ak_popularity` (
`post_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`total` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`feed_views` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`home_views` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`archive_views` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`category_views` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`single_views` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`comments` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`pingbacks` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`trackbacks` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`last_modified` datetime NOT NULL default ’0000-00-00 00:00:00′,
KEY `post_id` (`post_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE `wp_ak_popularity_options` (
`option_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`option_value` varchar(50) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

NOTE that the three tables created wp_ak_404_log, wp_ak_popularity and wp_ak_popularity_options have to be changed to the correct prefix. Default prefix is wp_

Have Fun!

PageRank Update Report

Posted by Adi Wong On May - 6 - 2008

How did you do on this pagerank update? I have my ups and down on this update. Unfortunately one of my frequently blog have a Pagerank of 0 as of today. Wahlau.NET is one of my earliest domain registered and I like the name because it is slang used in my country. I can’t figure out why does it drop from PR3 to PR0 and kept resubmiting for reconsideration after doing some alteration. Previously, I just link them back to my other websites and my company website. There is no paid link at all. Wonder how the system determine which website violates their Terms and Condition.

New Website

My 2 months old New Website is currently PR 3. Not bad for a new website. I will be expecting more submission since it is now with Pagerank and it is rank second for the keyword “Latest Websites”. It does not pass out PageRank to avoid people spamming the homepage, but would generate some traffic for some new website.

There is still no movement at all for this blog, but I am happy with PageRank of 3.

Clickbank for Malaysian

Posted by Adi Wong On May - 5 - 2008

clickbank malaysia

This is a very good news for all Malaysian. Click is officially Open for Malaysian for Registration!

Previously Malaysian have been using different technique to register for Clickbank because they know they could earn a pretty hansom money from it. The technique Malaysia use to overcome the registration is by having an virtual office in Singapore, therefore you are basically registering clickbank using a Singapore address. But there is no need to do that now.

I am not sure why Malaysia was not in their list, I belief was the Credit Card fraud in Malaysia previously was very high. But since the introduction of chipped credit card, I have not heard of any fraud anymore.

Here is a ping screen of the registration form and Malaysia is in there.

Clickbank open for Malaysian

Have fun exploring and earning some big money!
