How many email spams you received daily?

Posted on March 15th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Nowadays, spam is unavoidable in our email account.

How many email spams you received daily? I have been using my gmail account for around 3 years, and now…everyday I received around 150~200 spams in my gmail account. That’s more than 5 times of the actual emails in my inbox!

I have read some research conducted online that more than 90% of our daily emails are spams, with the left over 10% being the actual email that we would want to read.

How to deal with spams? It is possible to avoid spam?

There are NO LAW to shoot down spammers, but many server providers have strict rules that if your server are sending out spam emails, then your account will be suspended. This is especially true in USA servers, but if you notice the spam emails…most of them are NOT from the US server. There are still many grey area related to internet in many countries.

I have given up using outlook to read my email, as it can’t filter out spams accurately. Gmail is good, though occasionally some of my important emails are being marked as spam by them…but most of the time they are quite precise in marking those spams. I use Gmail exclusively nowadays. Not just because it is good with great interface, but of course the every growing space that outlast the grow of email I received daily. As of today, my email account space allocated by Gmail is 6520 MB! (currently using 2676 MB space).

Spam solution? Use Gmail.

New Ads Design for ShaShinKi.com

Posted on March 15th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I just did a new ads design for ShaShinKi.com.

230 x 260 pixels - 100kb

Yeah, it is a GIF animation ads. Linking to of course ShaShinKi.com.

I do hope to learn FLASH ads in future, but at the moment I have no idea of experience with FLASH…so can only stick to animated GIF or JPEG.

Comments welcome for the improvement of the ads design.

我老公如何才会早点回家？

第一，早上给他做的便当，量减去20％。出门前的早餐也不能煮太多，不然他会很迟才吃午餐。

这样，他肚子饿时就会想到是时候该回家吃饭了。

Posted on March 11th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Blog.

In Malaysia…

Can we post and blog about who we like and who we don’t like (Politics in Malaysia)?
Will we get detained by ISA without trial and behind the bar forever?
Are we allowed to share our personal view and dissatisfaction in our own blog?
Will we get charged for blogging without solid proof?
Can we reply to comment in other’s blog related to politics in Malaysia?
Are we FREE TO TALK in our own blog?
Is politics blogging dangerous?
Can we hide behind blogger.com, wordpress.com, blogspot.com?

What do you think?

Selangor Fallen into Opposition?!!!

Posted on March 9th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Malaysia.

As according to Malaysiakini…

Unofficial: Opposition wins Selangor - 12.25am

Selangor has fallen into the hands of the opposition. PKR has earlier announced that its secretary-general Khalid Ibrahim will be named chief minister. In Selangor, DAP has taken 35 seats (DAP - 15, PKR - 11 and PAS - 9) out of the 56 seats in the state.

Meanwhile, the opposition is also doing very well in Perak but it is still not clear how many of the 59 state seats it has won.

What will happen to Genting Highlands?!

4th Anniversary…thank you Dear…

Posted on March 6th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

My Dearest Foong,

Today is the 4th anniversary of our marriage registration.

We were officially registered of marriage on 6th March 2004 in Johor (church ceremony on 20th March 2004). I thank God for having someone so special in my life, taking care of me all the time. I am a big baby most of the time…but your love and caring has never failed or less. You always put me and our baby as priority, putting yourself at the lowest place. You would rather wake up early in the morning to take care of the baby and let me have a better longer sleep. You always cook food that I love, especially curry which isn’t her favorite. Tonight you cook a big bowl of fish head curry for me again…

Dear…I am sorry that I forgot about today…a special day that I should always remember. I did not bought any present…I did not surprise you with anything…Please forgive me…

Dear, thank you very much for all the time, love and caring you spend unconditionally for me and our family. May God continue to bless us…bless Megumi…bless our family and marriage. May you be healthy and happy always, may I love you more…In Jesus name I prayed, amen.

Yours,

King.

Categories: Malaysia.

Just a few more day…Malaysia will held its 12th general election on th 8th March 2008.

Too bad I am in Japan now…can’t vote. I did call to the embassy in Japan, the person in charge said that I need to register as oversea voter with them few months earlier before I can vote. Not sure how true it is…

To remind all my visitors and ShaShinKi.com customers, I have created a special banner/logo at ShaShinKi.com:

Vote for your country…vote wisely.
