Save Money: Choose the right model, the best finances, and drive carefully! 2008-06-02 11:43:51 We’ve owned a delightful car for over 3 years… This year, we’re expecting to make our final payment in about six months. We could’ve done it sooner but we decided to delay. We purchased the Mazda 323 in the 1.6 liter version. This is an older model
car, and is likely to be phased out [...] Read more:drive

Photo of the Day: On the Walk to Tamsui 2008-05-31 12:02:20 It’s not often that we see contrasts in Taipei, but in the walk on Saturday, we came across this sharp contrast: traditional setting in the front, modernity rearing its head behind!
In the foreground, there’s a large pond filled with bullfrogs. In the middleground, a family house that’s been there for years - who knows? There [...] Read more:Photo
Buzz: How did you choose your hosting company? 5 Things I’d Do Differently Now! 2008-05-30 11:20:04 For those starting up a blog or online business or website or community website…, the first consideration typically given is cost. Most of us are paying for our online plans out of our pocket. Having hosted for four years on several hosts, and a free-host for many years previously, I’ve come to look back on [...] Read more:choose

Credit Card Bills: May 2008 2008-05-30 09:31:56 Well, it’s here… It’s the latest credit card bill, and I was horrified/pleased… I took one look at the total, and I was staggered. Over NT$15,000, and I can’t remember why… Oh, wait! I’m looking at one of them… Oops! Both. So what happened?
Yes, that’s right… each one cost NT$6500 and I bought TWO… Was [...] Read more:Bills

Fast-Teks: What do you do when your PCs crap out? 2008-05-29 12:22:29 The past few days have been quite taxing: why? I’ve been having trouble with my PCs. Between my school and home, I have to manage seven different pcs with OSes from XP to XPSP2 and in English/Chinese and mobile/desktop. It’s a nightmare to say the least as none of the other users is competent in [...]
Stock Brokers: Which online brokers can YOU use? 2008-05-27 11:54:00 There’re a lot of good sources of information on brokers for those who live (’reside’) in the UK or US. But what about those of us who “don’t qualify”?
Are you NOT a US Resident? Oops, I’m sorry… We can’t help you.
Look no further. I’ve done a little research from the SmartMoney’s Annual Broker Survey, and [...] Read more:online

What’s in that download now? 2008-05-26 02:07:41 A few months ago, I created a top 20 list of my favorite ‘money making blogs’. Recently I’ve sorted out the niggles and created a page to make it easier to find. This page will keep a record of my download and the current feeds that are in it . In edition 1.1 that is [...]
Trips in Taiwan: From little Bavaria to little Italy 2008-05-25 12:51:43 Fancy a little
bite to eat… Lusting for some good German food… Then head out into the countryside of the North East Coast, to a little place called Smoky Inn.
It was a little tricky to find (I’ve borrowed the map to highlight its location). You can see the mark there. We nearly missed the turning, [...] Read more:Italy

In The News: MSI Launches a new UMPC 2008-06-07 12:02:23 Asus Eee PC: Competitors abounding
Well, it seems MSI has introduced their own equivalent of the ASUS Eee PC 900 series. Pricing looks good, features are decent.. and it is creating a bit of a buzz.
But I have to agree with one comment: MSI’s build quality isn’t particularly good, even on the more expensive laptops they [...]
Your lightbulbs: Have you changed them yet? 2008-06-07 11:47:16 We’ve been swapping out our existing bulbs at school for the new energy saving bulbs, and cutting our use of energy by 40%, but we completely forgot about the 9 spotlights we put up about five years ago. Each of them has been consuming about 50W and we’ve been burning them 8-10 hours a day! [...]
Notes from Computex 2008: Asus Eee PC 1000 2008-06-06 11:51:57 This is the new Asus
Eee PC 1000 series..
The new 1000 is a serious contender for mobile pc of the year… it’s light, affordable, big enough for some serious work, and highly desirable.
From Wikipedia:
It features a new 10 inch screen and an 1.6 GHz Intel Atom CPU. The 1000 model ships with Linux and a [...] Read more:Notes
May Income on InvestorBlogger Dot Com 2008-06-06 10:34:51 This month has been pretty quiet on InvestorBlogger Dot Com, though we managed to notch up another better than average month. I’m facing one really big challenge right to creating additional revenue: a sheer lack of time. I have about 10~12 hours a week that I spend on this blog, but I’m beginning to see [...] Read more:Income
Yehliu: Nature’s Spectacular Sculptures 2008-06-08 11:09:29 Yehliu is an amazing place. Today’s adventure was to Yehliu Geological Park which is located just outside Keelung near Wanli Township. I’ll let the pictures tell you what’s special about this place!
A ship anchored outside Keelung seems to float in the sky!
A view of Yehliu Township from the park.

Welcome to BlueHost dot com 2008-06-12 10:37:27 This time I’ve already set everything up and the transfer is working, though some people may still be seeing the old blog on the old site even now. I’m re-adding the plugins and theme features, though with the problems on DreamHost, I’m not sure how much I screwed up trying to get things workings properly.

Problems with the server 2008-06-09 10:44:34 I’m having problems today with the server
. Some usual services have been terminated until problems are resolved. Minimal plugins are operating, and the basic theme is set. Sorry it’s messy until I can figure things out.
Update: I’ve still disabled everything but it’s odd: one of my settings was set to fastcgi in dreamhost, and that [...]
Vivid Skies: Sunday Trips in Northern Taiwan 2008-06-16 11:06:18 Today’s trip was the result of a fortunate coincidence: great weather with clear skies, good company and something to celebrate. We started off at the Taipei University of the Arts where we had a big nosh up replete with steak, salad, cheesecake, etc.. After lunch, we wandered around the campus and enjoyed the lovely views [...] Read more:Northern

Server Needs: Consider carefully what you need, and why! 2008-06-16 23:27:00 It’s nearly a week since I started the move to clean up and reorganize my server. It was after yet another outage… and a huge spike in server usage. Take a look!
This wasn’t the first time that I had experienced such a spike, things had been pretty stable for a few months. But it was [...] Read more:Needs
The DEAL - Would you buy an extra car parking space? 2008-06-17 19:45:17 I was emptying the mail at school today, when I picked up a flyer that had a picture of a car on the front. I scanned the Chinese, immediately noting that they were offering parking lots for sale in our building. So I began to wonder if it’s a good way or not to make [...]

Who is stealing your blog’s content? 2008-07-08 09:19:14 I was browsing some links for my website when I noticed this odd page (see image). And I started reading a ‘response’ to an article I wrote in October, 2007 about the problems of Adsense (original here), I noted that the organisation tone of the article seemed similar to mine, so I checked it out.

North East Coast: scenic coastline from Keelung to Gongliao 2008-07-06 10:46:17 Travelling around the island on Provincial Route 2 takes you from Tamsui all the way around to Ilan. We’ve often driven the stretch from Tamsui to Jingshan or Keelung. Today we covered the stretch from Keelung to just south of Gongliao on the far center right.
We found some great places to stop off and marvel [...] Read more:Coast

is celebrating its own July 4th - the first direct (legal) cross-straits flights
since 1949. Ma Ying-Jeou’s new government recently announced the easing of cross-straits relations, and has brought in something of a warming of cross-straits ties after years of stalling by the previous Chen and Lee [...] Read more:problems
