A couple of months ago, my aunt bought a full featured washing machine. This appliance was picked by her son because my aunt says he “knows everything”. That’s why he picked one with complete features, which is a combination of a washer and dryer. It wasn’t cheap but they loved it.

Now that Chinese New Year is just round the corner and many a party has been planned, my cousin suggested that they buy a dishwasher to deal with all the plates, dishes, bowls and cups that they will have to wash. Haven’t they heard of paper plates that are specially made for parties? Apparently, these do not have “class”.

Anyway, my cousin did a little research on the web and said that they should get a Kitchen Aid dishwasher. I don’t know why he chose this but I have not heard of Kitchen Aid dishwashers before. OK, I admit, I have not heard of ANY brand name dishwasher before because I don’t own a dishwasher and have not purposely checked out the dishwasher market so I don’t even know what’s popular, let alone available.

Since my aunt says that my cousin knows best, a Kitchen Aid dishwasher is what they will be getting. You see, my cousin spends so much time surfing the internet, I wonder if there is anything that he does not know.

Running my own small business, I have made promotional products like business cards, postcards, calendars, t-shirts, pens and even business card magnets. Did you know that I have two hundred pieces of business card magnets that I did not give out to any of my customers? It is unfortunate that when I received them, they have already lost their magnetic power BUT I know this is a great promotional concept so it is important to order your business card magnets from a reputable printer.

If you think that giving out business cards your customers will remember you better, then giving out business card magnets will double the effect. While most people will misplace business cards or even if they have a business card organizer, it will only get lost in a stack of business cards, most people, when they receive a business card magnet, will stick it on their refrigerator door or metal cabinet. I know I will!

It is important to include your company logo, company name and all contact details, especially web address on your business card magnet so that you can be reached easily. Customizing it to suit your company’s theme and match your existing business card and stationery is a breeze if you use one of the ready made templates on BizCard.com or you can upload your own design to their editor and customize from there.

BizCard.com is currently offering 22 magnet business cards for free so why not grab this opportunity to try out their product quality and test the power of marketing with business card magnets?

I am sure you have read that I am having issues with my hosting. It seems that the server will suffer from an outage almost every day sometime from 2pm – 3pm Malaysian time. Sometimes it is just a short outage but sometimes it could go down for a couple of hours.

I believe I wrote a post recently on how all these outages on an almost daily basis is not doing my traffic any good. Well, I know that if all is fine, my traffic would be higher than my current numbers but then I am not complaining about my numbers right now because I know that I have not been networking and so it suffers from the lack here too.

Right now, I have been having issues with my Streamyx and this week has been awful in terms of a smooth broadband internet connection. I believe this is the worst I have ever seen since subscribing to this broadband internet package almost ten years ago.

And you know what? Between the sporadic connection of my Celcom 3G and the whims of my server, this week has been very challenging. I got so stressed out but yet I am trying my best not to be stressed and take things a little lighter.

Now, when my server is cranky, I just try to get away from the computer or get some sleep and hope that by the time I wake up, my blogs will be functioning again.
