Create Website Easily With Wix.com
Feb 13th
Bump to this website few days ago and I can’t believe my eyes. Wix.com totally amazed me on how I can create a website so easily without even knowing any codes.
Nowadays you can create a website using many type of softwares but it is not as easy as you think.
To build a basic static website is quite easy but it would not look nice. Not like the websites that you used to see.
- Have you ever try to build a website and started to buy softwares, books on how to use it and end-up not doing it?
- Have you ever feel like that only a computer geek or nerd can create a website?
- You think that you need to learn some programming language just to create a website?
There is a way that you can create a FREE flash website easily. The solution is Wix.com.
Here you can create a cool website just by editing it like a word processing software but for me, it is even easier than that. My friend that didn’t know much about website can create a website in few hours after I showed him the website.
You can register a FREE account and try it for yourself. Don’t crack your head, don’t let the disappointment before stop you from creating a website when you can create a great website with Wix.com.
Try it out… It’s FREE.

Aug 13th
Recently A-DATA Technology Co. Ltd launches the world’s slimmest portable hard disk drive named NH92 at Computex 2009.
NH92
Available from 250GB until 500GB and it comes in 3 colours, light silver, cherry pink and ocean blue it is aimed to match the latest trend of mini-notebook user.
NH92 measures 12mm in thickness and 152g in weight so that makes it the currently the slimmest in the market and it is also the lightest weight for an aluminium case. The unit comes with a leather pouch which and connect using 2.0 USB connection.
To me it is quite convenient as it light and portable, so you can take it anywhere yet it is still stylish. If I’m not mistaken, you can get it at RM 360 for 500GB. Need to check that…

Wasabi… A No Ink Printer?
Jun 20th
Yeah, you heard it right. Wasabi is a printer and it doesn’t use any ink. The printer is from Dell and the “full name” for the printer is Dell WASABI PZ310 Mobile Printer.
Dell WASABI PZ310 Mobile Printer
First time I read about it I can’t believe that they have such technology. I thought it might be something like the fax machine, but it not. Wasabi print in full colour. You only need a special type of paper to print by ZINK. The printing paper size is 2 x 3 inch and the size of Wasabi is slightly bigger than a PDA. That makes it a very portable printer and still it have a storage for the paper as well. Isn’t that cool.
The paper is not that expensive, it cost roughly around RM56 for 48 sheets. To me, we can save a lot as we don’t need to use any ink for the printing and it is much better to the environment in a way. The ZINK paper is actually a sticker too. So can print pictures and stick it anywhere if you want to.
You can print directly from your camera using the USB port as it comes with a PictBridge support and you can also send your photos directly from your mobile phone and even notebook to print using it Bluetooth connection too. It only have a power button and “reprint” button make it a very simple printer.
Forgot to mentioned that the price of the printer is RM529 and as other Dell product, you can purchase it online from Dell website.
Digi Wireless Broadband.
May 26th
Recently Digi launched their new product, Digi Wireless Broadband. The packages seems competitive to me.
The Digi Wireless Broadband have 3 type of packages and you can choose either to take it with a modem or without (if you already have a modem). The packages are as follows:
- Discover :
- With modem: RM58 + RM15 = RM 73 (Package + Modem Installment)
- Without modem: RM53 (RM5 discount for 12 months. Will be RM58 after 12 months)
- Speed: Up to 700Kbps
- Usage limit: 3GB
- Explore :
- With modem: RM108 (Modem is FREE)
- Without modem: RM98 (RM10 discount for 12 months. Will be RM108 after 12 months)
- Speed: Up to 700Kbps
- Usage limit: 10GB
- Extreme :
- With modem: RM188 (Modem is FREE)
- Without modem: RM168 (RM20 discount for 12 months. Will be RM188 after 12 months)
- Speed: Up to 2Mbps
- Usage limit: 20GB
Cancellation will be charge a termination fee. The fee is “Normal Monthly Modem Installment” + ”Remaining Months of Your Modem Tenure”. For example you’ve used the service for 6 months, you will need to pay RM30 x 6 months = RM180. For Discover & Explore package, the modem normal monthly installment is RM30 and for Extreme package, it will be RM50. The modem design is the same as the modem from Maxis.
You need to pay RM100 in advance and the modem comes with 18 months warranty.
Summary
My opinion, the price and the usage limit is quite OK. The problem with Digi to me might be the coverage. I’ve checked from their website and my area only have EDGE connection and from my experience using Celcom, when it is connected to EDGE it is rather slow.
Compared to Celcom Wireless Broadband in terms of price and speed, Digi should make their packages cheaper. Even P1 W1MAX can give a better offer. I hope that Digi can widen their coverage as they always says that they have the widest coverage, but you should have better 3G coverage instead of only voice. Anyway, I predict that in the future the price of the broadband, not only wireless will be much more competitive as more and more service provider like Digi is in the arena as well.
