1st payment from Helium

Finally!! Yes finally after almost two months of waiting, Helium.com finally paid me.

Initially it was supposed to take maximum of 4 weeks for the publisher to purchase our article and pay up. But unfortunately something went awry, the payment was twiddled and I had to send many emails to Helium.com to remind them that its PayDay.

I almost thought they were a scam. But luckily they paid up.

Anyway I will still continue to write and enjoy the cash that accompanies it while Well Known Publishers pick and choose the articles written.

Who knows one day I will become a well known journalist or writer. After all, I started from writing fanfiction. Hehehe..

Light Theraphy

I remembered a few days back reading about how successful a doctor in Melaka was. Her secret to having her returning customers is Light Relief Light Therapy. The device is very simple looking and the concept is also very simple. But the healing effect is great and that is what her customers returned for.

Her first customer, her father-in-law who is a patient for Gout, a swelling abnormality found due to high protein intake, tried the theraphy and amazingly it works like a charm.

From then on, patients rounded in inclusive of children who were suffering from Chicken Pox, a real itchy mess.

But how does it really works? Actually the device relies on Infrared light that emits diodes or LEDs to create a powerful stream of warm therapeutic light that penetrates deep, increasing circulation, and relieving minor muscle pain, joint pain, and stiffness.

Shopping online must be user friendly.

Yes, as usual this blog always concentrate on work or just personal issues. Anyway, I was going through one of the ecommerce software on the internet and one particular product intrigue me.

I like the idea of hassle free with easy user interface that can help even a 5yr old kid to navigate. A great design with easy scripting and debugging methods is also a plus for me. I cannot stand having to go through thousands of commands just to find a comma or a small mistake in the scripts.

Of course, it must also be banks compatible and good for paypal, moneybookers lovers. As I had said, a user compatible. I don't like the hassle of rummaging through credit cards only to find the website accepts Paypal only.

Thus, if you wish to know what product I'm talking about, you can Google Ashop.com.au or just click on the link above.

I am not returning to the old work place!

Amazing what desperation does to a person. My previous main contractor that I had temporarily went under their wing wants me back. They are willing to pay me SGD2500 to clean up their dirty mess since I was in charge of that department previously.

Sounds good with the OT rates and all... But after the hell I went through while I was working under them, I forgo the thought. They make their workers like slave to the point we are at their beck and call and have to be on 24hr standby even though its our off day.. Did I mention I was in charge of the RF readings and specs.. And I was paid a meager SGD1500..

So it was a nice call I received this morning especially when I hear the boss pleading for me to return. Back to the hell hole?

Never!

It's slavery.. No way am I ever returning back to them even though I was under training by them. It's enough to give me nightmares!

VOIP or IDD?

VOIP or better known as Voice Over Internet Protocol is now a money saver in business. To connect with international customers, IDD rates are usually a heavy brunt on any SMEs. The current rate in using Telekom Malaysia to call Singapore is at least RM0.50/min or USD0.20/min. Doesn't look too expensive, but wait until you see your monthly bills.

Which is why every internet users are seeking better bargains by using VOIP. To connect with friends and families using VOIP, both users must be online in order to answer calls. That is what you get for free types.

But if you wish to be able to answer VOIP calls without having the fuss to be 24hr online, there are other alternatives. VoIP Phone Systems lets you connect with your customers, friends and families easily.

The rates are also quite cheap compared to the current rate TM is charging me. Almost USD$200 per month! Nearly gave me a heart attack.

I am Stressed Out..

After two whole weeks of trying to set up a workable without any crashes shopping cart, RAT3 shopping cart is finally stable. It has been tested, but I can't vouch that it will work with other ISP other than Firefox and IE.

They department has been so stressing me out. Instead of just purchasing a ready to be installed shopping cart software, they want us to work our tails off and get it up and running. I know of some softwares that caters to almost all of the merchants requirements and have a 24hr support system.

The company is just stingy. And I'm in charge of trading!! Not IT even though I do have my qualifications in it. Yes, I am ranting about it.

So stressed out. I have to lead two different departments, no extra credit given to the insight and I don't get enough sleep.. Grr... Stingy..

If they just pay $69.95/mth, everything would be resolved. Haiz... I need to take a break in this.
