If you are using Windows Update to periodically download and install latest patch, you might encountered an annoying window that prompts you to restart your computer once new updates installed. It will keep on bugging you until your computer is restarted. Clicking Restart Later is only good for a few minutes before the restart window pops up again.

Developed by Bayden,Slickrun is a floating command utility for Windows. It is light-weight and only take up a little space on your screen only. Think of it as a built-in command prompt replacement (Start-> Run) with other cool features.
You can create shortcuts to your favourite programs, frequently used folders and even websites. Instead of clicking the program shortcut from the start menu, you just type the shortcut keys on Slickrun to run the program. For example, you can set MsWord to run Microsoft Word and etc.
On top of that, you can set what to display when the program is not on focus or idle. There are presets of settings for you to choose from; date, time, memory, power status (notebook), and custom text.
It might takes a while to get used to it but after once you get the hang of it, this tiny application could be one of your frequently used program!
By the way, did I mention that this utility also has a sticky note feature?

After completed testing of my ASP.Net in test server, I deployed the same application to client’s server. However, I was hit with following error:
HTTP 500 - Internal Error Server
On further testing, I can’t even connect to localhost (that’s weird!). It gives the same error as above. My client’s system has the following:
I tried the following but still couldn’t work:

Our homegrown Internet advertising company, Nuffnang, had made it to TechCrunch post but for the wrong reason. Nuffnang Singapore, a counterpart of Nuffnang Malaysia, reportedly charges publishers SGD1 for transaction fee for cash outs leaving many bloggers furious by the decision.
However, I have not heard or read any news on Nuffnang Malaysia imposing the same administration fee.
Anyone who is serving Nuffnang Malaysia and have received payment recently care to share their experience?
I do subscribe to Nuffnang (Malaysia) co-founder, Timothy’s blog, but didn’t hear anything from him. Hopefully thing turns out well for them. 
Just less than 1 month from the previous release (2.0.0.8), Mozilla release another update yesterday.
The latest release fixes some of the known issues found in previous release.
After the recent pagerank (PR) shake up by Google, there is one question remain? Oh, maybe two. The first one would probably want to know who are affected and who survived. Now, the only question remain is whether if one should remove all paid links and stop posting for pay-per-post entry.
Google not only punish publisher who sell links by dropping their PR but sometimes reduce your site’s ranking on Google’s search engine result. Thus, making it more difficult for people to discover your blog. The worst could ever happen is they remove your site from their search engine result, totally. Don’t believe me? Try googling "John Chow" (JohnChow.com, the popular blogger who writes about making money online). You won’t find it there, at least not in the first page. (After more clicking, and onto the 5th page, no sign of JohnChow.com). Even John Cow (a parody of JohnChow.com) is on the first page. Holy cow!
So, some decided to remove paid links after their PR dropped, however, other just being obnoxious and can’t be bothered about it at all.
Here is my top reasons why you shouldn’t be afraid of Big G (read: Google). The list is not in order.
The recent update on Google PR did cause a bit of chaos to all bloggers around the world. It seems that after the updates, their PR dropped. Some dropped one point but some even more.
The Google PR campaign started last week and I thought our very first full time blogger, LiewCF won’t get hit by it. However, when I read LiewCF this morning, apparently, his PR also drop from PR6 to PR5. I double checked it with PRChecker and it still gives the same result.
Guess, everyone falls within Google radar this time. Ouch!
By the way, can anyone appeal on this? Or just have to wait Google to do another round of updates?
Are you a victim of recent Google campaign to update Pagerank?
Loren Baker, the editor for SearchEngineJournal has confirmed that Google has emailed them regarding the PageRank (PR) update that caused many blogs have their PR dropped.
Matt Cutt, the key person in Google that heads the search engine optimization group confirmed that the PR dropped was to punish web publisher who sells links to other sites.
Many sites are affected by the updates; including:
Our local blogs are not spared too.
Are you website affected? Do you really bother about it anyway?
I received an email from Google this morning (see screenshot below), telling me I am entitled for free $50 Google Adwords. I think I am just lucky to get pick by them to receive this promotional item. I am still new to Google Adwords.
Google Adwords is medium for publisher to advertise on Google Ads Network. It’s one of the most popular advertising network in the Net today.
I haven’t set up the account yet. Will probably do it later. Have you received such promotion from the Big G? Have you tried Adwords? Does it really works?
Have you updated your Firefox? Mozilla just release Firefox 2.0.0.8 recently that fixes some security issues and support more languages. Read Release Note for more details.
