Entrecard Gave Me 350ec Credit For a Blog Post 25 July 2008 at 8:58 pm by e1d

I was surprised when I checked my Entrecard account just now. My Entrecard credit should be just around 200++, but now I got 638ec credit in my Entrecard account. I wonder why… and after checking the transaction history, I found out that Entrecard gave me 350ec credit for a blog post.

That was strange, because as far as I concern I never post any Entrecard related content to this blog… Read the rest of this entry →

+ I’m Annoyed With Malaysia Online Newspapers By e1d 22 July 2008 at 10:04 pm and have 5 Comments

Did you fellow Malaysians realized that Malaysia online newspapers such as The Star Online, Berita Harian Online, Utusan Online and myMetro are getting more annoying lately? It is not because of their news content, but their advertisement.

For example, yesterday when I tried to access myMetro online. Instead of supposedly displaying their main page, these advertisement came out:

Harian Metro online annoying ads

myMetro annoying advertisement No. 1 - This advertisement appeared before the main page.

+ New Theme For TechTarik.net - Braincast (Updated) By e1d 20 July 2008 at 1:42 pm and have 5 Comments

As you can see, this blog is now running on Brancast theme.

It is not the same as the original braincast theme, I’ve made some modification on it to suit my taste. This theme is supposed to be a greenish looking theme, but I’ve decided to change it to a blueish looking theme. :D After modifying it for 3 weeks, here’s the result. I hope I can name this theme Blue Braincast or something else, but the theme owner might not allow it.

So what do you think? This theme looks great right? hehe..

+ Just Upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 By e1d 20 July 2008 at 11:24 am and have No Comments

I just upgraded my TechTarik.net blog to Wordpress version 2.6 today. I don’t upgrade my blog right away after the release of Wordpress 2.6 simply because I want to make sure that Wordpress 2.6 is stable enough and not conflicting with my installed plugins and theme.

After testing it for a few days, I found out that Wordpress 2.6 has so many enhancements that really impress me. Plus, the new theme that this blog is using now (Braincast) and all of my blog plugins are compatible with it.

(Edit: It seems like this theme got some problem when previewing unpublished post. hmm… I wonder…)

+ Kuching Star Cineplex Sucks! & Wanted (2008) Movie Review By e1d 06 July 2008 at 3:48 pm and have 3 Comments

Wanted (2008) Movie Poster

After watching the movie trailer on YouTube, I cannot resist the temptation. So I finally went to Kuching Star Cineplex last night to see Wanted. The movie should start at 12.50 AM, but after 12.50 AM we’re still waiting to enter the cinema hall. My friends and I finished the jumbo sized popcorn and the soft drink that I bought earlier and we’re still waiting outside the Hall 2 of the cinema (that shows how long we have waited!).
