Today I’m optimizing some MySQL tables with large number of records — 1 million of them, yeah, I know — , it’s simply impossible to deal with such big chunks of data without proper indexing. So there I was, adding a variety of indexes to a few of the columns. It’s expected it’d take a …

I joined Dynadot at the commencement of .tel domains and tried my luck to get some domainers to register a domain with them.

Naturally, you’d never expect an AdSense ad of a site to appear on itself. But this I just encountered, indicates an inherent *bug* of AdWords. Or is it? But I’ll never understand otherwise. What’s the point? Maybe there’s an option for the AdWords advertiser to opt out of his advertisement listing being published on his …

Your mouse suddenly got offline by itself and you only got half an hour before the presentation yet the PPT still needs a few adjustments. Thank God you know how to use computer without a mouse.

Other than a descriptive title and a few describing words about what the current page is about, there’s no more needed to be done SEO-wise. No more. Period. Why, when I can create art, fulfill dreams, amuse and please my users and make them feel they have never been treated so well on other sites, …
It’s weird that I encountered this problem that when you post new posts in WordPress, there’s a possibility that it may run into a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error without publishing the article at all. I did some split tests and in this post, the string ‘fopen‘ which is a php function seems to be …
Millions of people in the web world digg Smashing Magazine for the full-fledged articles they publish that seem to be useful at first glance. Yeah, why not, at least they are all eye-candies with big titles. While I myself enjoyed a few series back when they just started, many posts serve as great references to …
Architecturally Firefox is no better than IE in any way. But their marketing strategy is so superior that so many people digg FF voluntarily without knowing they are just being sold to. Mozilla’s success lie heavily in coming in alliance with Google and web standards (related organizations and evangelists and such) rather than the inherent …

You know what they say, China doesn’t have digital products, instead, it’s all digital freebies because of the lack of legal accountability for intellectual property.

So lots of people are complaining about: GoDaddy barricading domain transfers by denying transfer requests on domains which have recently been modified in contact information (for the last 60 days). Their poor security features (no even security questions when modifying name servers or contact information) and high potential to lose premium domains. Yeah, they suck. …

Let’s start by asking ourselves this question: How much do we want to do with our life? Or how much are you eager to achieve in a single life time? The disparity of magnitudes of achievement is tremendous among different people. While a few may create billions worth of wealth, majority may or may not …
