Spam Karma 2.3

April 19th, 2007

Just turned on comments on my blog with this SQL:

  1. Aztech colour display DECT cordless phone OR Prolink wireless router (limited to 10 units per day) OR Nokia/Sony Ericsson/iTech Bluetooth headset (limited to 15 units per day)
  2. Prinzet photo paper
  3. Game CD & Premium
  4. PC.com Magazine

Package 2 - RM 118 (1 year PC.com magazine subscription)

  1. Limited edition PC.com Flash Drive (1GB)
  2. Prinzet photo paper

Although the packages are attractive, I hate the courier service that came late of the month and requires signature and I/C number.

By the way, this site has been dead for months. Still considering whether to get it revived or not.

The Big eBay Logo at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

November 16th, 2006

Big eBay Logo

Well, they have a nice logo when I was there last weekend for eBay Explained! 2006. Jim Griff has provided a very good guide on becoming a better eBayer and to make money from eBay.

However, I'm sad that they have not addressed Malaysian PayPal issue. Although there are alternative ways out there, it will still be better and more reliable to have PayPal letting us withdraw money directly from them!
