I was introduced to KissCafe last week. People tell me that since I am single and am online for such long hours daily, I might as well get some free dating online.

I don’t really like to socialize in online dating portals mainly because one never know what kind of people are behind a rosy profile. Moreover, I am never good at making introductions or worse, describing myself, which is standard procedure in online socializing. Bah!

Anyway, my friend told me to just check the site out and so I agreed. First of all, I just have to say that I love KissCafe’s logo. Just take a look!!

I found that KissCafe is a free online dating portal that is open to the world. Most of the dating portals that I have come across were mostly for a certain community or other and it is not easy to find a partner.

KissCafe’s membership base is wide and far-reaching though, so it is as if you can find anyone in your local area. Perhaps it is because of this that they are launching new languages for the website.

Members on KissCafe all look like decent people just trying to expand their social circle. You wouldn’t want to know some other sites that been through that it is an embarrassment to just browse through their picture profiles!

KissCafe makes sure that members’ privacy is protected and everyone is accorded security and control over their own dating experience. If I were to join a dating site, KissCafe would be my choice because I would have all the full features of other dating sites, but I do not have to fork out a penny! It’s free!

Although I have two computers at home, I do sometimes still use computers that are not my own, especially when I am away for long hours, I have to get online either at the cyber cafe, at the homes of friends or relatives. I am never comfortable using a stranger’s computer because for one, I have to remember the web addresses that I frequent plus worry that my log in IDs and passwords will be stolen with screen capture devices or keyloggers.

I thought that I would have to “live on the edge” until I get my own laptop but my friend told me there is a new website called SpyShakers that has a webtool to shake off spies no matter from whose computer we access the internet.

SpyShakers is said to work best with FireFox with the Sidebar tool which resides on BOOKMARKS. Well, once you are on a computer, just access your Sidebar, log in to your SpyShakers account and then visit your favorite links from the Sidebar. Your log in ID and password for your list of favorite websites will be there so that you can drag and drop the data into the log in page. Keyloggers won’t work because you aren’t even typing!

It’s great that I can use this service for free whenever I am away from my own computer. It gives me the much needed peace of mind, you know?

I have a friend who works in the media line and he told me the good news that he now can put his video content in front of media distribution professionals. The launch of IPEX TV, a unique concept of B2B ecommerce marketplace exclusively enables buyers and sellers of multi platform video programs to trade in a conducive environment.

I was surprised at the evolving DVD distribution market because these video content not only serves the traditional television market as we know it but also the ever increasingly popular portable device, cellular phone and internet markets.

IPEX TV allows both producers and distributors of video content to communicate directly have access to each other. Media producers showcase their work online and professional media distributors are able to browse through the video trailers, according to genre or search by keywords.

My friend is excited that he now has the chance to showcase his work to the world should his video be picked by a professional distributor. What a great media marketplace this is!

After reading my post, Hanging Computer, my friend was concerned that my internet security may have been breached. I told him that I do have firewall and anti-virus installed, but maybe it is because I am using the free version. How else could I explain the Trojan that was detected on my computer and causing it to freeze after my computer was connected to the internet for twenty four hours?

My friend told me about FilterGuide.com, a comparison website for major internet utilities and programs like anti-virus, firewall, spyware detection, parental control software, anti-spam filters and many more.

I was aghast to note that my free firewall and anti-virus programs were not even listed, let alone rated! I think I better change to one of the top rated programs for better internet security protection!

For the whole of yesterday I had my computer switched on and connected to the internet and I only shut if off at 7.30am in the morning. After an hour and a half, I switched it on again and the stupid PC kept hanging. That was just before 9am. I had to shut it and restart and it refused to shut down. Strangely, I could restart it, just that I could not shut it down.

What the heck could be wrong? I am a non-technical person and I hate to troubleshoot it. I’d rather just chuck it into the big river that’s next to my house.

So this cycle went on until 1pm My AVG Free detected a trojan. Could this be the culprit??? It was healed and I hope it stays healed and not get restored into the system. How the hell my computer could contract a trojan, I do not know. I just formatted my computer a week ago!

Anyway, I really need a back up system. Maybe it’s time to invest in a laptop? How about one of those Sony VAIO C Series notebooks?? As the saying goes, “Every girl needs a pink laptop!”

Fuel My Blog?

I noticed that despite being a fairly new blog, I have quite a number of readers, although they do not want to leave me a comment. I do seriously need that Mr. Firrrst to help break the ice or perhaps I could do that myself by leaving a comment as soon as my post is published.

Anyway, if you are my mysterious blog reader, could you please fuel my blog?

If you are a spammer, could you please fuel my blog?

If you came to my blog from search engines, could you please fuel my blog?

If you fuel my blog, you would not gain anything and neither would I, but it will make my day to see more than one person has voted for my blog every day.

So from today onwards, I hope that I am not asking too much when I ask that you please kindly fuel my blog. To do so, just click on the orange, red and red fire image on my side bar.

If you remember, I once wrote about losing my way in my one hometown. Well, I am very bad at directions. And my sister too. When my sister wants to go on road trips, she will get the map directions through PublicRoutes.com

This website offers the free service of giving us street directions and traffic updates for most major cities in the United States and United Kingdom.

The best part about this is that we just have to input our starting address and destination address and select our mode of transport, whether by road, rail or on foot. Click on the GET DIRECTIONS button and we will be given the best route.

And if we would like to be more specific, we could even let the system know that we would like to stop somewhere by giving a location and even select our travel.

Don’t ask me how this system works since I am so not technical minded but let me tell you, I am very impressed!
