This is a question that has been bugging me for a long time, since my Nokia 5800 days. On my Nokia, the GPS function works very well, but that was when it was used as a normal phone. But when I changed to an iPhone, I wanted to keep the 5800 as a GPS device, […]

I have always liked to use Garmin MobileXT on the Symbian on my previous Nokia 5800 XM. That Nokia was famous phone, right before iPhone was introduced and swept away the nation in a smartphone frenzy. It’s still a very good phone, although I only use it for the GPS feature, because iPhone don’t have […]

This is something interesting ….. something popped out onto my browser this morning without me realizing. I thought it was a damn spam, but it turns out it was P1! It says that my limit has been breached and I should consider paying a small amount to increase the limit! I’d say that this is […]

Unifi has come to my area! YES! Despite calls to boycott its service, I have made my own research and have decided that Unifi is the right broadband service for me. My journey in getting myself wired to the internet harks back to the days of Jaring and TM dialup. For those of you old […]

Both OpenX and DoubleClick are advertisement serving engines that you can plugin to your site for managing and serving ads. They are both very popular ad-serving solutions, but recently my company decided to migrate all their ad management from OpenX to DoubleClick. What triggered the decision?

This is nightmare! After upgrading my v1.5.4 SimpleViewer to version 2, to my horror, none of my galleries worked! Upon further googling then only I found out that the new version has been written from the ground up, leaving earlier adopters like yours truly, dangling. The author of the software was also very unhelpful, they never give […]
