Cakap.my was bought a year ago hoping that Status.net (previously laconi.ca) script will actually do better. It actually did better but forgot to address the one most important issue, SPAM. I kinda like this domain and have spend time installing this microblogging script 3 times at different host.

FYI, Status.net is a free twitter script. It is a pretty nice script with the plugin for Facebook Apps and Twitter Apps integration. So you can automatically update both from one micro-blogging site. I manage to setup everything in few hours time but when I brought it live for testing and posted a link at their WiKi, spam started to come one by one. Then I activated Re-Captcha, but it did not keep them out for long. Everytime I got some spam from the user, I had to go phpMyAdmin to execute few lines of SQL as there is no control panel.

This was the same problem with Pligg that uses Re-Captcha I had installed for one of my website. After migrating to Wordpress, it works like a charm.

I got the domain for another year, hopefully I could do another great install or find some other ussage for this.

Yes, I am back with Exabytes Hosting. A few months ago I ended my hosting with Exabytes because I am getting quite frequent downtime with Exabytes, then I was offered a free hosting by Exabytes just a week ago. They had given me this hosting for free, to prove that their move to AIMS datacenter will improve their server uptime, previously their servers with TM Net. I did not need any extra hosting but since they are free (I already had 2), I think that it is great to give them a try.

I have transfered one of my website back to Exabytes, it is at Mart.com.my. Although Serverfreak uptime has been great so far, I still miss the Exabytes load speed for Malaysian and it is still the same with AIMS datacenter.

Submit a ticket for SSH in order for me to transfer my domain quickly, and within 2 minutes it is activated. It was pretty much the same as previously.

It seems that Webmaster Malaysia got Spammed and at the same time Malaysia Webmaster also got spammed on every forum category. I used to be a regular at Webmaster Malaysia learning about building website, Internet Marketing, SEO and even getting hosting review. Although I do not visit it recently, they are still great community portal if you want to interact with Malaysia Webmaster.

A recently new Bing search engine by Microsoft that is suppose to compete with Google and Yahoo! for a bigger market share. Just notice that even Live.com is redirecting to this new Bing Bling. Nevertheless, I think that the searches is pretty quick but they have not face the full force load since not much people know about this new search engine.

Also, I like the integration of newer technology like the mouseover to take a peek on the text displayed on the target homepage. Everything happens quite fast and smoothly. Not to mention that the results is pretty good and relavant. It is weird that I kinda like the result from MSN searches, but do not visit them often for references. I notice they updates pretty quickly and might be that they do not have a sandbox like Google that do not rank new (recently registered) website highly.

I log on to my Facebook and found out that there is an interesting events with the title “Hi, I just lost my hp. Can you please give me your contact ?“. It is a friend of mine who lost his phone and he is trying to get back all his contact inside his phone.

Quite a good idea to get others attention and from the post, I think he got back quite a lot of his contacts.

Simply a great way of using Facebook.
