What is your numbers?



















Bloggers: Know Your Visitor!!!

the main difference between blog and diary is diary meant for individual / private readings. Not like diary, blog (web log) is born for universal readers. Without readers, it will lose the purpose of writing. In additional, blogger who get to know their blog is popular among readers, will serve as a kind of motivation & encouragement to continue producing good articles to readers or supporter. But how to identify the numbers of readers for blogs?

There is a lot of website offering this kind of service to blogger, let me just name a few:
  • SiteMeter
  • StatCounter
Both SiteMeter and StatCounter are free services that provide invaluable & a limited amount of complementary information about the visitors to your websites. SiteMeter provides first and last page viewed, for 100 unique visitors. StatCounter aggregates information about the unique visitors, for 100 page views. But both are equally useful. Fortunately, both are equally priced - free. These websites do offer detail statistic informations as well but with various fees .

If you are free, why not make a visit to these websites and gain some knowledge!

Courts Mammoth Sales! Don't miss it!


Great news!!! Courts Mammoth is having their sales again!!!

Nope!! Nope!!

I didn’t say I will be going. I had bad experiences with this store.

This is how the story beings. Once, when I am reading the Sun newspaper, so-called Great Sales from Courts Mammoth attracted my attention. They are having a 70% discount for 10 hand phones. In addition, a voucher is attached to the newspaper for free 10 pcs 4R size photo printing by just presenting this voucher.

After the readings, I compared their discounted hand phones prices with the market price, and found out only 1 of the 10 so-called discounted hand phones are real cheap.

I went there on the second day of sales. “No more stock for that unit, sorry sir”, this is the answer given to me. The other 9 units are still lying on the display shelf. Consumers are smart, aren’t we?

OK, Fine, no more stock. I still have the free photo printing voucher. When I asked around, my reply was, “Is just for 1st day”. (Never even mention at all in the newspaper)

Fine as well, I tried to reach for the shopping list in my pocket. Let’s check up my shopping list:

Sony earphone
Logitech webcam
….


The products are in place, but their prices are higher compare to Jusco.
Oh, is enough for me here. I am leaving now!!! But before heading to my car for this unpleasant 30 minutes shopping, I need to settle my parking payment.

Later, my mum told me she faced the same problem a year back at Courts Mammothas well. The difference is just that she went there during the first day of sales (queuing up before the shop is open), but how could this happened?

In conclusion, ……… (I guess you get what I meant)

To be fair, let me state some pros as well:
• Courts Mammoth 0% installment plan
• Promoter is very friendly
Do share with us if you have any good / bad comments regarding Courts Mammoth. Thanks for reading.

Black

Why I choose BLACK for my website?

I love black. My watches are black; my spectacles are black as well. Few days back, I was told that even Google Search now is with a black edition.

I quote my friend on this:
“Google is the second Brain to many of us.
It uses white screen which consumes higher power.
If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of pages viewed, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour of power per year would be saved"

In response, Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption”

Google Search (White)
Google Search (Black – energy saving search)
I just tried browsing both version in different tab to compare and found that my eyes feel more comfortable with Blackle.

The Forbidden Kingdom







Thumbs up!

I watched it twice. It was hilarious. The movie is great in the sense that it blends a western-style story through the white boy and traditional Chinese legend of the Monkey King with oriental martial art. Jackie Chan and Jet Li are being paired for the first time on the big screen. So, what are you waiting for….


For those who watched this movie, anyone out there see this scene in the movie?

My first watch – B.U.M Equipment


Year of Buy : 2000
Price : RM 300

I love it once I see it, so I decided to purchase it. Though it is made of stainless steel, but after some time, the steel seem to be dull in colour and the stop watch malfunction after some time. However it has a long battery life. This watch last about 5 years.

This time, before I get my second watch, I do some research and get some from information from some watch specialists known to me. They suggested me to go for brands like Casio, Seiko, or other Swiss made watch (exclude Swatch) as they are more professional in field of manufacturing watches.

Swatch is not suggested in the top list of selection because firstly, it is made of plastic. Moreover, one of my friends wearing this brand complains that the glass of his Swatch watch has broken but unable to get a repair, so he has to buy a new one. But the pro is that it is very easy to change the battery, you can do it DIY.

My current watch – Swiss Chronoforce

Year of Purchase : 2008
Price : RM380

Have you observed that my current watch is quite similar with my previous watch in terms of design. Wonder why! I really love chronograph tachymeter watch with black dial.

Some one is going to present me a watch. So happy! Cant wait to receive my new watch! I will post up here once I have received it.

How To Use a Tachymeter


What is Chronograph? What is Tachymeter?

A chronograph is a timepiece or watch with both timekeeping and stopwatch functions.
A tachymeter or known as tacheometer is a kind of theodolite used for rapid measurements and determines the distance to target, and is highly automated in its operations.
Using the Tacho-productometer (TPM) scale
1, 10, 100 or 1,000 etc. units (such as Km – kilometre) are indicated by the seconds hand. When stopped the seconds hand points to the figure on the TPM scale by which the number of units (1, 10, 1,000 etc.) must be multiplied to obtain production rate or per-hour speed.

Examples:

• A racing car covers one kilometre in 30 seconds.
The seconds hand stopped upon completion of the mile at the 120 mark on the TPM. Average speed of the car = 120 X 1, or, 120 km per hour.

• A bicycle covers one kilometre in 45 seconds.
The seconds hand stopped upon completion of the mile at the 80 mark on the TPM.
Average speed of the car = 80 X 1, or, 80 km per hour.
