Picture to Cartoon using CorelDraw

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 24 - 2007

I am not familiar and have not used CorelDraw, but it I know that it is a worth opponent to Photoshop. Since I received quite a good response for my previous post to Cartoonize your picture, I decided to do some search whereby you could use CorelDraw to cartoonize your picture.

Another tutorial I have found is using Photoshop or flash. It is a old tutorial but the result is very appealing.

Text Ads Link new affiliate link

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 24 - 2007

Text Link Ads has change their long referral id link by using tinyurl. Tinyurl is quite a good tool for affiliate marketing or referral. This is because your referral id would not be shown.

Although Tinyurl still shows some number+alphabetical combination which looks a bit like like referral id to me too. Not sure if it would work, but it is definately better compare to using ref=xxxxx on the url.

Join Text Link Ads

UPDATES: WTJ actually commented that this may be a prank or a fraud, and it seems that there is possibility. Therefore I am still keeping my original text link ads affiliate link.

28/8 UPDATES: It is confirmed that Text Link Ads uses tinyurl, you will be able to see your affiliate link when you login to your account.

Dead Pixel

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 23 - 2007

When I got home yesterday, I saw a 20cm black line through my screen, I was wondering what was going wrong. After flicking my screen with different background color, I noticed that it is DEAD PIXEL. Man, I was sad to see that, it was bought less then a year, I am hoping that it would be covered as this is really bothering me.

I was searching for my warranty card and my resit. If anyone knows LG Policy on their LCD Monitors, let me know.

Show Adsense between post for Blogspot

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 22 - 2007

This is great news for user of blogspot.com or blogger.com. It is even easier and more flexible with this new function.  There is some limitation that you could only have Google Adsense for the inline advertisements and some of the old customized templates will not work with this, you may have to consider newer templates.

But you did not pay for hosting or the domain, therefore everything you earn from Adsense or any advertisements program is pure profit (deducting your own time & pay).

To learn how you could show adsense between post.
