And now you won’t. There is a online service call Remember the Milk and what it does is act as an online organizer and reminder. It’s a place for you to list down your important appointments dates and times, schedules and tasks so that you won’t forget. So if you are someone like me who can’t even remember how to tie his shoes, you should really use this service. However, for it to work you need to remember to login in the first place. So write it down somewhere you can see. Can’t remember the userid and password? Well…I can’t help you there. But you can set it up so that it can send your reminders through Instant Messaging.

Another interesting feature is that it allows you to send reminders to someone else using the same service. So let’s say your wife would like to remind you to pick up your kids from school, all she has to do is to send a reminder “notice” to your account and when you login, you will be “reminded”. Cool feature. Another unique feature is the map location. It allows you to plan the best way to get about completing your tasks by finding the fastest or the easiest route. Not only will you remember, you will be efficient as well.

And all is available for free to the public. I believe this can be a life saver for many. Just think of the hours of nagging you are spared from your very frustrated wife if you forget to get something from the store on your way home. Priceless.

Everyone hates spam. I bet even spammers themselves hate receiving spam. I mean, what’s worse than going to your office, switch on your computer and wow, 300 email messages and 280 of them spam? And you have to read through all of them just to make sure. Yes, the agony of it all. People selling you those “enhancement” drugs, people telling you to invest in some crappy stock, people informing you that you have just won the lottery and crazy people wanting to give you millions of dollars if you send them 50 bucks through Western Union. Hoot, that’s not what you expect when you started using the email, no? It looks like it’s hell out there and can be very overwhelming, especially for the beginner or the casual user.

But not to worry, there is a site which you should visit - Fight Spam! Here you will learn to find ways to fight those ridiculous spammers head on. You can read up on methods to tackle email spam like not revealing your email address, using a “throw-away” email account for registrations, tracing spammers, which spam filters to use on your email client, how to protect your privacy and so on. This is definitely the source for beginners who want an all-in-one site and find solutions for their spam problem.

And yes, spammers are getting smarter. In fact, they are always one step ahead than most of us, so much so that even the best filters will let at least a few through. But not to worry, we can always stop the slow and dim-witted ones right?

Why? Well because now you can. Instead of spending all your time fighting with each other and saying that each other’s Operating System sucks, you guys can now work together hand in hand. With the site MacWindows! Such an innovative name by the way. This site teaches you to properly do Mac and Windows integration. Not only does it teach you kids how to play nice with each other instead of calling each other names, it also allows you to do networking between the two Operating Systems. Now you guys can call each other names through the network or shared folders. Or you can print out well formatted insulting messages on each other’s printer. Furthermore, you can read up on their numerous articles on like setting up a Mac on a Windows network or vice versa, installing Windows on an Intel Mac, using a Windows Client on a MacOSX server and so on. I found this site pretty useful, especially if you have just 1 or 2 Macs on a Windows network and want to setup file or printer sharing. They also collect useful information and tips submitted by their readers into an easy to read Q&A format.

Now let’s think of word combinations for the new name of this site. Macdows? Winintosh? Swocam? The Blue and Grey Screens? If you can think of nice combinations, please leave a comment here so that I can send them to the owners of MacWindows.

Yes, I have found an authority site which allows you to submit your balls to have it reviewed by experts in the field. If you have a new ball, you can have them rated, tested, poked and abused by these experts. Furthermore, you can read reviews on balls by other users of them balls and hear about their experiences with a particular ball. What better review than from a fellow ball user, right? And not surprisingly, it has a very complete list of balls available for sale by different manufacturers. They also have articles on techniques and ways to use your balls effectively and get the most out of it. The site is called BallReviews.com.

What? Shocked? Not what you are expecting? What type of balls do you think I was talking about? That’s disgusting. You guys are just way sick, man. I am talking about bowling balls! You know, the ones you use to knock down bowling pins by rolling them along a lane. Hard, shiny and has some holes in them for you to grip. Those kind of balls. Hey….please stop yanking mine.

This page may rank very well in Google for the word “Balls” in the near future.

Don’t know? Unless you are living in Alaska or Greenland or Northern Russia or anywhere the temperature is freezing cold, you will very likely know. Yes, it’s Ice-Cream! And who makes the best Ice-cream? Häagen-Dazs! Me love them. In Singapore where the weather is very warm, nothing beats an cold ice-cream in the blazing afternoon heat. Very refreshing. Just thinking of eating a Baileys Irish Cream ice-cream makes me all fuzzy inside. Ahh…simple pleasures. It’s just too bad that in Singapore, we seem to enjoy the sewer-reject slop they call “ice-cream” made by Walls. I don’t even think Walls is making ice-cream, more likely low quality ice-crap. Worse for all ice-cream lovers, Walls have invaded nearly every household in Singapore and gotten hold of a huge portion of the ice-cream market because of marketing.

Next time you think of buying ice-cream , don’t visit your friendly neighbourhood shop that sells Walls, try the bigger supermarkets and look for Häagen-Dazs stuff. Taste real ice cream for a change. Try the Butter Pecan or the Macadamia Brittle (I don’t think you can find this in Singapore, perhaps in selected stores only). Or you can visit the Häagen-Dazs stores to get a scope or two. You will come back for more.

Here are some of the other great makers of ice cream - Dreyer’s, Ciao Bella Gelatino, Cold Stone Creamery and Baskin Robbins.

Now, this is another popular social networking site and recently has been gaining popularity - FaceBook. And since that Korean guy shot and killed several university kids and lecturers in Virginia Tech, it has become the main gathering point for them students and friends to post about their condition and whereabouts. Wow, so it seems that text messages and cellphones are out and social networking sites are in! A few years back, it was text messages that brought down the Philipines President Joseph Estrada, now perhaps social networking sites can be the next important place for social revolution? Like those coffee houses in France during the French Revolution? Yes, coffee not the guillotine killed that French Queen chick. Man, things really change fast around here. I am still using blogs to communicate with others .

Anyway, if you are interested in joining Facebook, all you need is a an email address, preferably your school or work email where your friends or co-workers can contact you. Then you can join the network and start communicating with your friends through messages or notes, videos or pictures. But please excuse me I won’t be joining, I am going to be busy thinking of another something to spark another social revolution and make myself famous like those guys who started Facebook.

Ahhh…..you already know about this Webhosting Talk Forums, right? Probably one of the most famous forum on the Internet, especially if you are a webmaster. You should at least have visited this forum before you ever got a webhost. It’s THE place to get more information on webhosts and their services. You can ask about a host’s reliablity, pricing, how good their support is, what features do they support and so on.

However, I found that this is also a good place to complain about a webhost and try to highlight on the problems you have with your webhost. Nobody likes negative exposure, especially in a big and very active forum. So your complains will probably reach the ears of the webhosts themselves and most of the time, they will respond. And the best part is, it is rather democratic. If you complain that a webhost has poor support but in fact, it has one of the best support, you will be grilled over a slow fire by the forum members. So better watch yourself while you are in this forum, okay?

I was wondering how many of you remembered a browser called Netscape? When I first started using the Internet, it was the browser of choice for everyone. I mean, Internet Explorer (3) was crap, pure and useless crap. Netscape had no problems with layouts, surfing was relatively fast and the interface was great. Then came Internet Explorer 4. Is was no biggie, but at least you could surf the net with it. Finally came the butcher, Internet Explorer 5 and worse for Netscape, it came along with Windows 98 (SE). Netscape stood no chance after that. People were just too lazy to download the latest version of Netscape and just used Internet Explorer that came with their Windows. Netscape browser was gone. Bye bye. It quicky went out of people’s memories.

So what happened to Netscape? Well now, it is a social networking site! Just like Digg, but unlike Digg, it is not that popular and is smaller in scale. Once the powerful browser developer, they have fallen to the depths of hell and is now “dancing” with the Devil. So I give all of you this warning - never mess with Microsoft. You will regret messing with this giant, they will pound you continuously and mercilessly till you drop dead or become a social network/porn site. Not even AOL or the entire porn industry can help you. That goes the same for you Firefox developers. They have you in their sights and hiding behind Google is of no use. Wuhahahaha! Zip it! Zip it!

Ok, this is a history website with a difference compared to all those history sites you see everyday on the Internet. All the articles on the site are from eyewitness accounts of people who actually been there and see it happen with their own two (some only one if the other was injured) eyes. I have read through some of the articles on the site and I must say I am impressed with the quality. And best of all, unlike all the rest of the history articles and writings, these are very interesting and full of quotes from famous people of the time and even from the common people.

Their topics range from the ancient world to the Renaissance to the 19th century and finally recent events. You can read it all here. With these eyewitness accounts of major events throughout our world’s history, I think it is one of the best history websites on the Internet.

Perhaps this site doesn’t need much introduction to you webmasters. It is official website of one of the most popular forum script on the Internet - PhpBB. And I believe that it is the most widely used forum script with thousands of developers and modders. And this site has a very high PageRank - PR9. Ironically, it is also famous for selling backlinks which Google in turn decided to devalue those links. I think that Google may believe that PhpBB is already making tons of money selling their free and open source forum script to the masses, so why let PhpBB benefit from selling links. But it seems that there are people out there who still didn’t know that and are still buying links from PhpBB.

Oh by the way, PhpBB had just released the latest version of PhpBB and redesigned their website. So please go and take a look. I kind of like their new design. But I have never tried their v3 script before. My forum is based on the SMF script. Secure enough for me.
