Free Images For Blogs

I have been invited to try out a free service that allows members to use high quality photos on our blogs for free. These photos are the kind that you see in magazines and do not have any legal entanglements.

However, they do have advertisement ON the photo itself. I have viewed them on the blogs of the founders and I find that they add great colour to our blog postings without fear that the copyright holder will come after us LOL

Although these photos do have advertisements, I don’t find them intrusive at all. Since I have been invited, I have signed up and may use some of these photos on my blogs. I haven’t finished browsing through their collection of images, so I will only pick my images later.

However, don’t get me wrong. Even though these images have advertisements ON them, we, the publishers do not get payment or compensation of any kind to display these ads because we are already using these high quality images for free.

I Am So Longing For A Spanish Break

When I was in school, I used to have so many pen-pals and most of them were from European countries. Many of them will travel to Spain during their Summer holidays. Why Spain, you may ask? According to these friends, Spain has one of the best night life scenes in all of Europe!

When my workload gets too heavy, I just wish that I could escape and get a much needed break in Spain. HHhhmm I can imagine myself dancing the night away in a popular night spot in Spain where nobody knows me.

I am still keeping plenty of holiday photos these pen-friends sent me, including shots taken at nude beaches LOL And there are shots of the hotels where they stay and shots of hotels where they wished they could afford to stay, like the very famous La Ramblas Hoteles.

I wish that I could plan my vacation right now but I don’t even know when I will be able to get time off work. All my holidays were made at the last minute and this is why CheaperThanHotels is a blessing to people like me thanks to their last minute hotel deals. So if you are planning to make reservations at one of the beautiful Ramblas Hotels or one of the enchanting Madrid Hoteles, then you know where to go, right?

By the way, the image that I am including in this post is a shot of one of the Barcelona Hoteles that I found on the web. Don’t you think that it creates a very romantic ambience? I could just imagine myself staying there for months on end. Sigh… if only life is so carefree!

Billed In Error

Wahhhh… last week, my old domain name registrar sent me an invoice. I wrote back and said asked them why are they billing me when I already transferred my domain name to another registrar and that I have already renewed my domain name up until 2014?

After a couple of hours, they wrote back and told me, “Your invoice has been cancelled at your request.”

What the hell… AT MY REQUEST?? They billed me wrongly and didn’t even have the sense to apologise and admit that it was their error. On the other hand, they said that it was my request to have it cancelled. Nope, I did not REQUEST anything because they themselves were at fault.

Cheh… what kind of records are they keeping? Back from 2006??

Where To Find Executive Job Placement?

Do you feel that the higher you climb up the corporate ladder, the bigger pressure it brings and the less job opportunities you have making you vulnerable? It is like, one wrong step and you are down and then you will have difficulty looking for a job with a similar level of importance and benefits.

A friend of mine was laid off work when his company was downsizing. He quickly got in touch with an executive search firm to help him with his job search as only companies like A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc., with forty years of experience in matching executives and managers in appropriate positions in corporate companies would be able to find a suitable job for him.

Corporate companies prefer to allow companies like A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. to help them filled those high posts because recruiters at A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. are similarly experienced in their careers and so they understand the requirements of their clients.

WTH! My Stremyx Is Down AGAIN!

I seriously do not know what is happening! Is TM playing with me or what? Within the past few days, it has been On and Off for a few times already. I called up TM Support Centre this afternoon telling them that I could not connect to the internet since morning but they said that their log shows that I have an active connection. Who in their right mind would call up complaining if they do have a connection, right?

I don’t know why but they said that they will cancel my active connection, asked me to restart my modem, helped to troubleshoot my computer, asked me to swap my cables and make a direct connection but nothing worked.

My iPhone wasn’t picking up my wi-fi signal either.

Anyway, after three calls to them only did they helped me to put in a report for their technical department to check my line. Even though I have a back up internet line, I was still pissed to have to spend half my life trying to get the connection to connect and so I was not able to get my work done. Besides, I missed my afternoon nap!

Now I gotta wait for two days and see what happens. F@rk TM should give me a rebate, man!!!

The Largest New York Real Estate Company

My friend, Paul, who has lived in New York City for almost 15 years, tells me that New York City is a very happening city and as an architect, he has seen how the city has evolved with property changing hands and new owners having better and innovative designs and architecture done on their newly acquired property.

While on the internet this morning, I stumbled upon the website of a New York real estate company. If one is looking for property in New York City and its neighboring cities, then this is a good place to start. I mean, you can search through the listings of property, commercial or residential, that are available and then only contact their New York real estate broker. It actually saves both parties a lot of time.

Like a complete real estate company, actually, I have been told that this is THE largest real estate company in New York, besides providing prospective property buyers with an up-to-date list of property for sale, you can also valuate and sell you property through them or even read up on the latest on mortgage and rates.

Windows Live [Hotmail] Locks Out Safari Users

Last night, I was having an issue of being locked out of Hotmail when I tried to access my account via my iPhone. I did a search on the internet to see it there were other users who were similarly affected but apparently, there wasn’t.

This morning, after a good night’s sleep and a clearer mind, I did a search again, this time to see if it was a browser issue [Safari] and not iPhone issue. True enough, I found pages of articles mentioning this problem.

The weird thing is that it looks as if the problem started in early January, 2008, some even experienced this problem on their MAC back in 2006 and 2007 (!) but it only struck me yesterday. Ah…. maybe it’s like a virus and it takes time to travel to me in Malaysia.

Anyway, I have a new iPhone blog and I think I will be discussing future iPhone issues in that blog.
