Ultimately, my blog will be 1 year old on July 6, 2008 next Tuesday. To celebrate this, I am giving away free Tux (the Linux penguin) stickers per person and I have total of 464 Tux stickers. You can stick it to your notebook or desktop.

This free Tux stickers is automatically goes to the all time top 10 commentators. These commentators are all from Malaysia as listed below. Each of them will get 16 free Tux stickers. I will contact the below commentators to send the Tux stickers to them by snail mail. Hopefully you will enjoy the Tux stickers.

• Simon (131)
• danny (117)
• abi (44)
• iCalvyn (42)
• Jax (34)
• Li Lian (26)
• Kitkat (19)
• Jayce (13)
• Nicholas (12)
• dicky (9)

That reduce the number of Tux stickers to 304. I will give the rest of the Tux stickers to the first 19 commentators of this post. To get the 16 free Tux stickers per commentator, the commentators need to fulfill the criteria below: -

• Malaysian commentators only (I will verify the IP addresses)
• Minimum 10 words per comment

However, I would like to apologize to the international readers and commentators because I can’t afford to send the free Tux stickers to you all. Lastly, below are the rankings from Google, Alexa and Technorati: -

Google PageRank: 4
Alexa Traffic Rank: 560,297
Technorati Rank: 193,898

Besides, I have to keep blogging to raise the rankings above. Again, thanks for all the support given by visiting and commenting in my blog,

I don’t need to describe more on the game above. This is the first time I played paintball. This game was organized as a team building session in Xtion Paintball Park, Bukit Jalil on January 2008. Total of 14 persons but you can only see 13 persons in the photo because 1 of the guy is talking on the phone.

This Lunar New Year falls on 7 February 2008 which is The Year of the Rat. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Chinese friends and readers Gong Xi Fa Cai and a prosperous new year ahead with great success and good health.

I bought a new PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router last week on Saturday to use in my mother’s house. It is an 4-Port Ethernet ADSL2+ firewall router with 802.11g wireless access point. I bought this economical product is to replace a PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W ADSL Wireless Router.

You may wonder why I am doing so. I have used the PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W for 3 years plus. The reason behind this is I am facing a problem connecting to my office’s email and IM after a VPN is connected. The problem is solved once I deployed it.

This ADSL wireless router complies with worldwide ADSL standards. It supports downstream rates of up to 8Mbps with ADSL, 12 Mbps with ADSL2, 24Mbps with ADSL2+ and upstream rates of up to 1Mbps. With this technology, it is sufficient enough to cater for 5 years or more on the current pace of broadband advancement in my country.

With the integrated 802.11g 54Mbps wireless access point, it gives me an easy access and mobility to roam anywhere at home via the 5dbi antenna. It is also backward compatible with any existing 802.11b wireless client devices. PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router supports not only the Wireless Encryption Protocol but also Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) whereas the PROLiNK Hurricane 9000W ADSL Wireless Router only supports WEP.

The PROLiNK Hurricane 6300G ADSL Wireless Router has a built-in NAT firewall feature with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Denial of Service (DoS) attacks prevention and packet filtering. It complies to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and it support only DynDNS.com Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS). It also supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) for time synchonization, Domain Name System (DNS) relay, Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through, Dynamic Host Client Protocol (DHCP) and Simple Netwok Management Protocol (SNMP).

The web user interface provides a clean and easy management for users to install, configure and manage the wired and wireless network. Upgrading of firmware and romfile can be done via the web user interface easily.

Finally, the Text Link Ads check I bank in one month plus ago is cleared on 3 December 2007. This is a long wait for me. I had decided to change my payment type to PayPal to fasten the process of my earnings with Text Link Ads. I will use this money to reward my readers on my blogging contest. I plan to launch my blogging contest either on December 2007 or January 2008. Watch out for it.

I joined Text Link Ads on August 2007. I signed up for the Affiliate Program by putting a graphical banner in my blog. I received one referral on September 2007. My Publisher Program earning is pretty low. So, there should be no check from TLA in these few months. Lastly, I would like to thank Jax for this.

Finally, I received all my Maybank TreatPoints reward. The Logitech Cordless Mouse arrived last week Wednesday. The Petronas RM 50 voucher arrived on Monday this week. The Sony Radio Clock arrived today.

I have one Maybank MasterCard Credit Card and one Maybank Visa Credit Card. I seldom use these two cards. I decided to cancel it. I made a phone call to Maybank Customer Service. They advised me to redeem all my reward points before canceling the credit cards. They were helpful. I redeemed all my reward points for a Logitech Cordless Mouse, a Sony Radio Clock and a Petronas RM 50 voucher since last two week. I canceled these two cards this week.

The day has arrived……7 July 2007 (07-07-07), I decided to register my domain name wingloon.com and continue my blogging scene using this domain name. To all my blog readers, please visit this URL http://wingloon.com or http://www.wingloon.com from today onwards.

Thank you.
