I don’t know if you noticed but the weather seemed to have changed drastically. It used to be hot weather in the beginning of the year but this year, we have had nothing but thunderstorm. It is mid-year now and we used to have the monsoon rain now but it has been sunny for the past couple of days.

I have a weather forecast application on my mobile device but it does not help when it predicts thunderstorm every single day since I installed it a year ago! Can you imagine how inaccurate it is? LOL

This morning, I was told of this Weather Toolbar which is a free toolbar that we could install on our browser and it is said to be spyware free. This is very important!

What this toolbar does is to provide us with the weather forecast of major cities around the world. Whether it is accurate, I can hardly tell right now. LOL Besides this, it is also a search toolbar powered by Google.

If you need an indication of the weather, perhaps this is a good toolbar for you to try. As for myself, I don’t let the weather dictate what I do and when I do it so rain or shine, it does not matter.

The Blackberry is a very popular device here but I am not sure if people are using it to its full potential. If you are one of the lucky people who owns a Blackberry then perhaps you should check out the free drug guide for blackberry from Epocrates.

Although I do not deal with drugs, I still find it interesting that I could have drug information, side effects, drug reaction between two or more drugs, dosage, etc. at my fingertips. If this is in your line of work then all the more you should grab a copy for your Blackberry.

Remember the time you need a little information on a certain drug and you had to rush to your desk to check it up at your computer? Well, technology and Epocrates have made it possible for you have this piece of drug information and more, in your pocket!

The other day, I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version 3 on my desktop computer upon the urging of my friend who ground the latest Firefox to be “fantastic” and working perfectly. I told him to try out the add-ons that I use to see if they worked on the new Firefox. He reported back that they worked great and that I have nothing to worry about.

So I upgraded my Firefox too but after intensive use of the plug ins that I MUST have running each second I am connected to the internet and I am connected each second my computer is turned on, I found that the plug ins do not work as well as my friend has reported that do.

I was a little pissed off when I found out because it caused me error in my work but there was nothing I could do on short notice. However, now that I know about the problem, I decided not to downgrade my FireFox on my desktop. However, neither do I have plans to upgrade my Firefox on my notebook.

Months ago, I was complaining that my Widget Bucks widget has gone missing from my blog. At least, accessing my blog from Malaysia, I could not see the widget. Anyway, I later discovered that the supposedly Widget Bucks widget has turned into an eBay affiliate button with I don’t know whose referral ID. So since I was not earning even a little from that, I removed the widgets from all my blogs.

A little while ago, I received an email update from Widget Bucks saying that they are now paying for Western European traffic. HHmm isn’t that strange?

So, here is a list of countries where you will get to earn from your traffic. I don’t know if it is worth it for you but for me, I would rather have a global widget on my blog.
