Myspace stalker

I was listening in to the conversation of some of my younger relatives and it seems like almost everyone of them has a MySpace account. If you haven't heard about it, it only means you are: 1. Not Internet savvy, 2. Too old, 3. Too dumb or 4. All of the above.

MySpace is a social networking website and is currently the world's fourth most popular English-language website. According to a source, about 230,000 new people are registering every day on MySpace.

My own MySpace page is here.

Anyway, while browsing Myspace, you may sometimes feel the need to follow a conversation between two people using the comment feature. For example, they are "talking" about someone you know (or about you) and you wanted to what they were saying. Or maybe you were feeling bored and just wanted to kill the time by reading the comments.

The only way to find out would be to go back and forth between the two myspace profiles and reading the comments in the correct order. Yeah! I know. It's a pain.

There is a solution. Become a Myspace Stalker. All you have to do is go over to Myconvo.com, put the names of the two people having the conversation in spaces provided (For example, my name is ahoklah). You then press the "Show me the Conversation!" button and ta da, you have it.

However, it doesn't work if one of the guys has set his/her profile to private.

Civil engineering recruiters

My cousin who a civil engineer presently working for a firm in India is not really satisfied with his job and looking for better opportunities.

He already registered with a few employment agencies but I recommend that he check out Civil Search International, which is specialised in recruiting for Civil Engineering firms.

The company is composed of a team of 14 highly professional recruiters with a combined Civil Engineering recruiting experience of over 60 years. This includes the President who has 20 years of Civil Engineering recruiting experience. The consultant with the firm with a PE designation has over 30 years of Executive Management experience.

The company stresses that they makes every effort to customize the search to fit individual needs.

Most of these firms offer excellent salaries/benefits and are working on some of the best projects. So if you are a civil engineer or in a related field, you should definitely check their site out.

Rain and wind

Going to pick up my daughter from her school in a few minutes. Enough time for one quickie post.

It was raining and really windy when I sent her in the morning. Took us 20 minutes to get to her school.

The wind was blowing against me and I had to struggle a bit to push the stroller with my son in it. To keep my daughter from straying, we have an elastic leash attached to each other. So I only hold her hand when I have to cross the road.

Thank God! The rain has stopped but I can see the trees swaying in the strong wind.

Looking for binoculars

What do you use a binocular for?

The first thing that comes to mind are usually nature related activities such as bird watching. However, there are other several other uses. For site seeing, at theaters and concerts, for astronomy as well as for sports.

Just found the perfect site to look for binoculars. Eagle Optics has a great selection of binoculars.

I was so surprised to learn that there are binoculars specially designed for viewing insects, plants, and any other wildlife you can watch from very close range. The brand I am talking about is the Pentax Papilio 6.5x21 Binoculars (means butterfly in Latin).

You should definitely check out their Hot Deals with unmatched price offers on several products.

For your information, Eagle Optics gives 90 days free financing on all orders over $200.

So now you know where to go if you are looking for a binocular.

Walking my girl to school

My wife was at the University the whole day for invigilating some exams.

Had to walk my daughter to school today - the first time I had to do that. Previously, I used to drop her off by our car. In a previous post, I had mentioned that the school was a walk away. I never realised it was a 15 minutes walk with me pushing a stroller and my daughter in tow. Thank God! we invested in a good stroller.

It was bright and sunny today but there was a chilly wind blowing around. By the time we got to the school, I couldn't feel my ears. Getting back was faster - 10 minutes. Had to go and pick her up again but my daughter enjoyed the walk. Well! I got some exercise too.

Walking her to school and back again tomorrow as my wife has classes. I just hope it doesn't rain.

UK phone comparision site

One of the first things we did when we first arrived here in the UK was get a pay-as-you-go line. We already had mobile phones and all we had to do was buy the SIM card. It was necessary to buy a phone because we didn't have phone line nor did we have an internet connection. It was our only means of communication with other people.

Unfortunately we were not aware about the different call rates and sad to say, we later found out that the network (not named here) we selected, was one of the costliest. At that time we were using like £30 in a month. That roughly translates to around a pound a day.

We only found out later that there were several cheaper alternatives and that we could even get a brand new handphone with a line by paying as low as £15 per month.

Just found this site which allows us to Compare Mobile Phones in the UK. It compares over 20,000 deals from all leading UK mobile phone retailers ever day. So if you are living in the UK, I would recommend you to go over to mobile360.co.uk to find the cheapest deals on all the latest mobiles and buy online.

Never knew that mobile service providers were giving away free gifts including the Nitendo Wii when you buy a contract phone. Check out the deals here.

Melayu Boleh

The Bahasa Malaysia phrase Melayu Boleh can be loosely translated into 'Malays can'. Unfortunately searching for the term on various search engines would inevitably lead to porn sites.

Mohd. Suhaimy, a netpreneur and founder of the Wangcyber forum came up with a challenge - anybody who reaches the highest ranking possible on Yahoo and Google search engines results for the phrase melayu boleh using legal SEO methods, will win a prize of RM100. Runner-up and second runner-up will get RM60 and RM40 respectively. It's not much but I am taking up the challenge as well.

BTW, learnt about this challenge from the Eches Blog.

You can also help me in this project to overthrow porn sites, by linking to this particular post. Inform me and I will link back to your post too.
