I love blogging

Honestly,I don't have to tell my fellow readers/visitors of this blog that I love blogging.I have been doing that almost daily for the last five years.I am posting this note in response to Typepad,the blogging software (that I am using right since 2003) initiative to get its subscribers and fellow bloggers to write 5 reasons on why the love blogging.

Below is my list:

1.I can download  what is on my mind and in my heart.

2.I can share with others of what may be of  interest and benefitial to others who read my blog.

3.I am having fun in composing the notes as well as choosing/uploading photos as conversational pieces for my readers.

4.I have made a lot of new friends via my blogs.

5.It keeps me writing almost daily.

What is your list?Please share with us.

Lately, some spammers had great time spamming this blog with suggestions/invitations to visit their pornographic websites.This gave me no choice but to hold all your comments and read and approve before they are posted.My apologies to you because of this little delay.Since I check my blog every morning and night, your comments will be published in less than 12 hours.

Thank you for your kind understanding.

ViP bloggers

Yesterday,I came to know that the ex-Chief Minister of Selangor has started blogging.As an old blogger,a member of Pak Bloggers,I welcome you,Dato' Seri to the world of blogging.And I wish you well.By the way,one good example of VIP blogger is Pena Mufti Perlis.

From my observation, in the blogging world, there is no VIP.The only differentiator is the content.What you write and how you respond to the comments from the readers really matters.Personally,I have been blogging for almost a decade,in my own way.And I am not here to give advice or guidelines to anyone but you shall learn a lot along the way- with a few rough rides sometimes.

"The prime minister has acknowledged the power of the Internet, saying that Barisan Nasional lost the online war and it was a serious misjudgment "to dismiss the alternative media as unimportant" ("Internet served a painful lesson" - NST, March 26)."

One interesting feature about blogging is that it is two-way traffic.What we write do matter, but to engage into  CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER is more interesting and meaningful.

Happy blogging to all.

Personal Online Dashboard

Previously I use Netvibes to subscribe to news/blog feeds.Now, there is a better version of it called Ginger Netvibes.I suggest you have a look at one good example done by my favourite author Paulo Coelho here.I just started mine here.IMHO, the format  looks like a Facebook but more for news/blog database with less 'noise'.

Another feature that I like is that some pages can be private.

NB: New EeePC 900 is out.You can see it here.

My 4th anniversary of blogging

Today is the 4th anniversary of my blogging using typepad.Prior to this I was using blogger.

May I thank all my regular readers who keep coming back everyday.There are about 200 of you out there,who keep coming not only to read what I have written but what other fellow readers have responded. Thank you all!!!

Todate,I have written more than 1300 postings and have received more than 6,000 comments.On assumption that I have written half a page equivalent for each posting,I must have written 650 pages! That is more like two volumes of novels,right?

What I am driving at here is  the power of accumulation if we keep doing something everyday-however small it may be.Without me realising it, it keeps growing without me feeling taking too much of an effort.

If you were to ask me to write two novels in four years,I would just say IMPOSSIBLE: No,thank you,Sir.

Once again, thank you all for reading my humble blog.

Blogging On The Train

This weekend I will be in JB on family matters.I am taking Sinaran Pagi this Saturday(8/9/07) morning and coming back to KL by Senandung Malam(Sunday night) accompanied by my wife.While on the train, I will try to take some photos,record GPS readings and write journals.If my wireless datacard is working while on the move, I will try to upload every hour or as often as I can.

Along the way, I will record GPS readings for every station that the train paases by and snap some photos as well.

May I have some ideas on how to make my blogging cool and interesting;-)

You can follow my trip via this blog.

Thank you.

Flock,the browser

While surfing the Internet yesterday,I came across a browser called Flock. Many,many months back,I had installed one in my iBook.It was a simple browser and it caught my attention because of its simplicity. Then , I forgot about it due to lack of features that I usually need when I am online.
However, when I downloaded the new version, it is a really good browser for non-technical user like me who use Internet to more for blogging and social networking.

I am writing this blog posting using its features where I don't need to get and log in to my blogging software and as I work online,I could see photos from Flickr being displayed on the top of the page.
