Hotmail sites are up and down today, it may be due to massive power outrage in Arizona and California today.

08 Jun 10 VPS or Dedicated: Take your pick
Today, I have come across a blog that is well-written and i just wanted to share with you all. It is all about web hosting thing, but I would say, it is very suitable with what we are facing now. Especially to those who are making money, but not very much yet. So, I think this post will clear some air because I actually enjoyed reading it.
As you all may know, I do not want to write so much but to share the things I love or things I experienced, without further ado, please take a look.
When Should I Move to a VPS or a Dedicated Server?
I hope you enjoy it, because I did.

02 Apr 10 How to remove autorun.inf virus and Search Engines
This post is probably not suitable for my blog but I was hoping people will find this useful when they have a similar problem with me. I actually wanted to say that I am very pleased with Yahoo! Answers with this issue.
Needless to say, my computer was infected with autorun.inf which will auto run their affiliate file name called affi8l.exe. Fortunately, my anti-virus program could find out easily the exe file and remove it right away though I cannot remove autorun.inf and that file has been annoying for a few hours. So, I finally do web search and after 6-7 search engine results, I must admit it was pretty much disappointing as I could not find the correct solution. I was about to feel Google is no longer dependable on search results. And at the eighth link, I finally found the solution on Yahoo! Answers, and that answer was in fact easier to find in Yahoo! search engine. My point is, Yahoo! sometimes provides better search results and relevancy despite Google has been the number 1 search engines for ages.
So, I will directly quote from Yahoo! Answers referenced to here. Thanks to the original person who answered this perfectly.
You can boot up your PC in safe mode command prompt.
unhide the autorun.inf
c:\attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
rename it the autorun.inf to txt
c:\ren autorun.inf to autorun.txt
create a FOLDER call autorun.inf to prevent re-infection
c:\mkdir autorun.inf
find out the virus file name
c:\type autorun.txt
It may show something like this
[AutoRun]
open=virusname.exe
shellexecute=virusname.exe
shell\Auto\command=virusname.exe
unhide the virus
c:\attrib -r -s -h virusname.exe
remove the virus
c:\del virusname.exe
del the autorun.txt
c:\del autorun.txt
Keep the autorun.inf folder to prevent future infection
Below is quoted from the website “Virus Removal Guru”
Affi8l.exe is a dangerous file which creates activities on a user’s computer which may be highly undesirable. This file is totally unsafe.
Type: Trojan Virus (Click Here To Learn More)
Location: C:\Affi8l.exe (Click Here To Learn How To Locate)
Risk Level: Moderate (Learn More About Risk Levels)
Affi8l.exe has been identified as a computer virus. The file is generally bundled with another trojan virus, herss.exe, and additional files which include cvasds0.dll, cvasds1.dll, and cvasds2.dll.
As a conclusion, nowadays, search engine world is pretty much monopolized and we don’t seem to bother about it. And this is probably one of the very few times I gave credits to Yahoo! Search in past 9 years.

05 Jul 09 The Attraction of Blogs
The attraction of blog
Lately, I have seen thousands of blogs and they are basically writing pretty much all the same. I love to read blogs as much as I like to write about it, but I cannot produce like 1 entry a day because it is simply that I cannot write 1 entry a day. Why some blogs are pretty famous and some blogs are not is basically straightforward. If we all take the ideas of others, it will never stand out among the crowd.
For me, the attraction of blog is to write what you experienced, rather than writing out all the techniques and terms most of the time. Of course, it is not so bad to write techniques and ways but the ones that are attracted to audience will be new ideas and personal experiences. It depends on the niche what types of person experiences are ideal as well. For example, if you are writing a blog about sportswear, it is very critical that you voice the particular sport product in your own way; especially it is useful with reviews. Rather than saying what others have said in the past, though it is a good idea to reference it.
Well, hope you can attract more visitors than ever to your blogs after reading this entry. Good Luck.
