I was fucking banned by Google Adsense!
Posted: 16th October 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly meIt was not too long ago that I have earned my first 5 cents online using Google Adsense, and I had high praises for it. Naturally, I was very excited at the prospect of making an earning from my blog! However greed sets in, and despite the warning against clicking on the ads in your […]

What a revelation! This came as quite a shock, as I thought that the open community should at least be open to the world’s most spoken language! Bummer. Fret not, it’s totally fixable. My version of Drupal uses the MySQL 5 (I dunno the exact sub version though). To enable posts in chinese, one has […]
Those in the Ubuntu community should share my excitement now. Today, 11th October 2007 may not be a very auspicious date for many people, but 7 days into the future will be for the Ubuntu community.

At long last, I splurged more than RM300 for a hosting and the rights to jackyyong.com! Please bear with me for a moment as I explore the complexity (or the lack of it) of webhosting, specifically using the Open Source scripts. In my site, I used Fantastico to deploy Drupal, hosted on Malaysia’s own Exabyte.com. […]
I got myself a 430EX last month, but I needed practice on an assignment before I can be assured of my skill. Therefore I offered my service for free to a friend who is attending her prom night. I read all about using a flash unit properly, I even made a DIY diffuser by binding […]
Is this the end of the road for our trusted friend, the Windows XP? Is ol’ Bill so cruel as to cut the line for our beloved operating system once and for all? What used to be “X-perience”, could well be “aXed-Project”. Does it affect me? To a certain extend, yes. I still run XP […]
