Convenience of No Fax Payday Loans

Leave a comment

A couple of days ago, I saw from my blog statistics that someone searched for ways to get fast cash of $2000 and landed on my blog. I know the feeling of being in a financial fix that requires emergency cash that I did not have on hand. I wish that back then, I could search the internet for options too.

I am sure by now, most people would have heard of No Fax Payday Loans. Back then, I also utilized a service like that but it was not called “payday loan” and neither was it legal unlike people now who have access to fast cash legally now and it’s legal and hassle-free as well.

Although some people scoff at the idea of applying for no fax payday loans, you have to admit that sometimes life gives us no choices. To some people, no fax payday loans would be the answer out of the financial woes even if it is for the short term only.

This morning, I came across the website of Oasis Payday Loans which provides instant approval for no fax payday loan applications throughout the United States. See, didn’t I tell you that it is way easier to get a loan now than it was for me years ago?

A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. Boo Boo

7 Comments

I am sure by now everyone knows about the domain name expiration of A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. yesterday. Well, what an ultra boo boo. I mean, keeping the domain name active is like the basics of running a website. How expensive could renewal of a domain name be? Mine is renewed until 2014 because I definitely do not want something like that to happen to my sites even though they are not a business concern like A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s.

Well, last evening slightly after 5pm, I logged on to my blog about to make a post but discovered that my blogs have been hijacked by advertisements. Prior to that, I did access to A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. and found that the domain name had expired and I thought that this advertisement company somehow hijacked my blogs like it sometimes will.

So I tried to access my blogs from my iPhone since Safari would be a clean browser. Well, same issue. I thought fleetingly that it could have been an issue with my web host but then after checking another blog of mine that does not have A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. ad codes implemented and checking other blogs that I know for sure are publishers of A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s., I soon took down all A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. codes from all my blogs and regained access to them.

What pissed me off was that I wanted to blog and there I was forced to do the technical stuff or else I could not even access my own blog. I had to remove them pronto as I would be losing traffic but thankfully I found out early. Also, I just added new ad codes to my blog after I changed my WordPress theme, as I wanted to increase my A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. revenue from the RM0.001 – RM0.004 (ya, I am shocked too!) that I am getting a day and it’s not even a week that I had to remove them all, ON 5 blogs, man. You think I’m so free, meh??

I remember telling my friend what a pity it is that everyone is waiting for A.d.v.e.r.t.l.e.t.s. to go down. I mean, I don’t mind the company or the Boss and I did receive my first cheque of RM110 from them a week ago and won a prize package in a recent contest held by the company. Do you know what my friend replied? “He deserves to go down.”

Alamak….. this episode with the domain name expiration isn’t going to help his reputation. I would have called the Boss up if I have his mobile number but there was no way that I could alert him. Well, now that the codes are off, I am not sure when I will be re-implementing them again. It IS a lot of work, you know? I am sure that I am not the only one dragging my feet placing those codes again. I wonder how many publishers they are losing because of this. Unlike other people, I don’t want them to go down.

Predator Headlamp For Outdoor And Indoor Use

Leave a comment

My father is an outdoors person and is always going on weekend excursions with his buddies for camping, fishing and hunting. This stemmed from his school days when he was a King Scout. Sometimes, we go as a family too.

Just now, I saw this outdoor sports and military gear online store and I think that it would be a great surprise to him if I get him something that he could use in one of his weekend adventures. The Predator headlamp is a great item because by using this headlamp, he could keep his hands free for something else. This is not only great for outdoors but for doing handyman work around the house. Yes, my father is one of those DIY men as well.

This Predator headlamp is selling at $14.53 only and I think it is very affordable but most of all, it is useful and light so that it is easy to carry around tied to the head. It is powered by two AA Alkaline batteries which makes this headlamp so much more affordable to use.

Cleaning Up My Databases

Leave a comment

After upgrading all my WordPress, plug-ins and this theme, I have been spent the past couple of hours cleaning up the databases of my hosting. You know, I have so many sub-domains, domains and add-on domains in there but only a handful of them are actually used and updated regularly, that I figured that I better get the clutter away before it gets unmanageable.

All these were at first done by my web hosts but now they don’t care about me anymore so I could not just shoot them an email requesting for stuff to be done. I had to be hands-on this time.

I was so afraid that I would end up deleting what I want and then mess up my blogs that I use to cari makan. I can’t afford that at all! so I was actually said a prayer when my blogs could still be accessed like normal when I have finished with the internal cleaning. I did back up my files before hand, just in case. I am such a noob!

Securing Parking Space Online

1 Comment

When my cousin, Jasmine, informed me that she is planning to buy a car, the first question I asked her was, “Are you sure you will be able to find a parking space for it?” You see, Jasmine lives in London and we all know how difficult it is to find a convenient parking space for the car and even if it is available, it won’t come cheap. That’s why my friend, Sitt, prefers to ride the bicycle than to get a headache over London parking!!

According to Jasmine, she could apply for parking space to rent which could be as cheap as £150 per month right up to £500 per month or more. Of course, the rate is based on exclusivity of the location and convenience and how secure it is.

I was told that Park Let is a leading company in London that specializes in securing parking spaces and garages to car owners who may have difficulty finding a suitable parking space. By accessing the website of Park Let, vehicle owners in London would be able to check out the in depth information of each available parking space including price, distance to the nearest station and location map of the space and then apply from the site.

With the convenience of securing parking space on the web, parking in London may never be a problem again for the web savvy.

WordPress Issues

Upgraded To WordPress 2.3.2

Leave a comment

Phew…. I finally upgraded three of my four WordPress blogs to version 2.3.2 and it took me the whole afternoon. Six of my plug-ins were outdated so I had to download those and update them first.

The stupid thing was I started with the blog that just could not update automatically. Well I didn’t know at first so I waited and waited. Once I decided to go ahead and upgrade the other three blogs, it was a breeze. All plug-ins updated and WordPress as well.

As for the one that was stuck, I decided not to upgrade it and hope that by the time the new version of WordPress comes out tomorrow (they are released so fast it feels like only yesterday the old version was released!) then only do I try to upgrade it and hope it works….. I don’t know any other way to update my WordPress so it better work!!!

Dial 1-800-FLOWERS

Leave a comment

Although Christmas and New Year is over and we think that gift-giving is history, think again…..Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us. I used to get a lot of questions from friends on what to give to their special someone and I said that giving flowers is one of the best escape routes to take. I mean, nobody can go wrong by giving flowers!!!

Did you know that it is no longer enough to give a bunch of flowers like we used to a long time ago. Bouquets like those are almost a thing of the past. Now, most florists will also have a selection of plants, gourmet gift baskets of food, candy, stuffed toys and of course, fresh flowers!

I was told of this online florist at 1800flowers where they have a vast selection of these items that are suitable for any budget and occasion. Like I mentioned, if you have run out of gift ideas, it’s time to fall back on the trusty gift of flowers coupled with a gourmet gift basket and it is not very expensive either!

I was surprised to note that 1800Flowers.com also serves international buyers. I thought that selling something like fresh flowers is rather tricky because they would have to ensure that the flowers remain fresh upon delivery but it looks like this isn’t even an issue with the company!
