Working for Yourself Makes You Happier

I totally agree with this post, working solely for yourself does makes you more creative and happier :). Trust me, I work for myself and all I can say is, nothing can compare with the flexibility and the level of enjoyment against working for some big corporate entity (unless it’s yours).

But I don’t claim that it will work for you too, some people do enjoy working in cubicles or in factories instead of their own garage or bedroom.

Yes, you read it right. My blog is one year old, the first entry on this blog was recorded at April 13, 2005. Truthfully, I never thought it last one year during the first week I wrote that very first entry.

lelong mypapit

I don’t know if you guys like to use Lelong.com.my service, but I really do, as you can find a lot of cool stuffs there at a bargain price. I usually surf and search for stuffs there at lelong even if I wasn’t looking for something particular.

Therefore to save my time, i developed a Mozilla Search Plugin for Lelong.com.my, the search plugin integrates itself into your Mozilla Firefox browser just like Google search plugin on default Firefox installation. Now, you can search lelong.com.my stuffs right inside your browser!

Debian GNU/Linux Hands On Guide and Tutorial

mypapit debianAfter surfing for leisure last evening, I found a nice and comprehensive guide written for Debian GNU/Linux users. I guess Debian GNU/Linux beginner and GNU/Linux newbies will find this guide, Hands-on Guide to the Debian GNU Operating System useful.

The guide covers from introduction of Unix, Free Software Foundation, the GNU project and the Linux kernel to the basics of system management such as package management, setting up firewalls, configuring X Windows system and recompiling the default kernel.

The guide is also available for download at : http://colt.projectgamma.com/

Happy huntin’

j2meshitheap.com – a list of the world’s worst J2ME-enabled phones

JavaME (formerly J2ME) software fans? Then please avoid any of these J2ME-enabled phones because one or more of their implementations are either broken, incorrect or plainly doesn’t work.

I personally tested 3650/3660 J2ME implementation first hand by running some of my midlets. In my oppinion i think Nokia 3650/3660 has the worst j2me implementation that I’ve encountered because some of the *Listener object failed to respond correctly, plus the networking part of the midlet almost always failed.

I would also want to add Nokia 6600 to the list because of various bugs in its implementation, though not as annoying as 3650/3660, it is still noticeable.

so please visit http://www.j2meshitheap.com for more complete listing
