Is china better without google ?

Posted Wed, 01/27/2010 - 20:15 by admin

I think one of the top news recently is google considers to close their office in china because of some "organised" hacking attacks which they deemed to be related to chinese goverment. No one knows if it's true or if it's just a "dance" for business purpose ? but it certainly not fun to both google and china if it happens. China seems to stand strong on this. Anyway, the hottest businesses in china are more about "property" or "stock market" or "export stuffs".

Does SEO really for everyone ?

I met my osteopath, mark, in a business event organised by business link last year as he is setting up a  business to deliver his osteopath service in client's home. It's good for the elder or those can't go out (like busy mum etc), on the other hand, Mark doesn't need to rent a expensive office to operate this business. 

I was very impressed with his knowledge in osteopath and his sense of humor. More importantly, I have a bad neck and shoulder pain due to the long working hours with computer.

Today, I got a customer sending me a document with docx (Word 2007) which my old 2003 word doesn't support it. Looking around the web, someone charges a few dollars just converting the docx to doc file.

Luckily, I found microsoft puts a free docx to doc covnerter which allow me to convert it to doc format.

Comment Notification in drupal using RULES modules

How to get a notification whenever you receive a comment from your drupal web ?

This is how I do it with RULES module . I think trigger module would also do the trick, but I found RULES module has many more options & work better with token (as I had bad experience with Trigger module for not being able to make a proper tokenized email).

Drink more water while you are on aeroplane

from china eastern airline tips

We lose 300ml water / per hour while we are on the plane because it's very dry inside. Lacks of water makes you feel tired, dizzy or vomiting, so having enough water is very important. However, some drinks are not suitable to have it on the plane. For example, coffee makes your heart beat faster especially for those who seldom drink it. Also, beer / carbonated drink would make you feel vomiting because of the air pressure difference.
