In July last year, my car got broke into and the surprising this was all of my car seats were missing. You can read my post: DBKL KTM Komuter Segambut Car Park Daylight Thieving.

Last Tuesday, the police inspector that handled my theft case called me up and asked me to come and meet him. I never would have thought that the case after a while would be followed up. I was wondering what was going on but it doesn’t really matter since my car was already fixed but being a good citizen, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to help the police since they are going to be the one who will be the one you’ll seek if you get into trouble.

It was then revealed that my case was handed over to another person and that person did a sloppy job. The inspector was pissed because he had to clean up the paperwork to avoid me of being accused of giving out false statement. I was then told that the person who did the theft job was caught and went to court last February. In order to not getting me into the court action, I had to help the inspector giving out a rectified correction statement. Sounds a bit scary of how these paperwork could lead to something not nice.

Bottomline, having a car has its own pros and cons. I’m getting my car’s air condition repair today. It hasn’t been repaired for over a year already. I owned a car since I was 19 and there were countless of incident that had happened to me. You’ll never know when shit will happen to you.

I always like the shoutbox on the sidebar. It’s a useful tool to make conversation to my visitors. However, recently my shoutbox has been attacked by spammers:

I understand that spammers do make money and I’ve read that there are a few of spammers get paid handsomely. What I do not understand is why are the links given is full of crap? Isn’t there someone who is monitoring what ads they put on a spam mail? Or maybe there are zombie computers that is program to send spam mails.

Anyway I’m taking my shoutbox down for a while. Installing a wordpress plugin called Bad Behaviour didn’t work out much. Eventhough it is recommended but there are still spams. It’s not that difficult to become a spammer, I’ve tried it once but I do not see the value in it.

I’ll get another shoutbox for my blog soon.

If you spend a fair amount of time in front of your PC at work or home, most of the time you are not aware of you bad habit. If you don’t know what your bad habit is, maybe it is time to take an ergonomic course (click on the image to open up a new browser window and start the course):

A few weeks ago, a colleague of mine went to see a doctor because he had this slight numbness on his hand. It was told that he might have carpal tunnel syndrome as he used to sit in front of his PC most his waking time and holds the mouse all the time. Since then, he takes regular break in between jobs.

I’m too also guilty of having a lot of bad posture habits in front of the PC and I’m working on to practice good ergonomics as I spend a lot of time in front of the PC too.

But what about people who are using laptops? I used to work with a laptop and I’m thinking of buying one soon (I had to give the laptop back to company when I changed job). The angles might be different but I guess you will know how figure out yourself though.

Last Monday, I got a mail from Google. This was a surprise for me since I had never got any ordinary mail from them before. I only got charged by Google on my mother’s credit card for using Adwords 4 years ago. It looks like Google Adsense is sending out Google Adsense Personal Identification Number (PIN) to Adsense publishers. This is to ensure payment for your account.

I don’t really consider myself as a publisher yet. I do write on my blogs but most of the stuff I write is kind of informal. I’m trimming down my blogs and for now I only focus on this blog. You can only write so much in the hours you have in your life. Anyway, I have a long way to go before I can ask for a payout from Google Adsense. Still, it is good to know that Google hasn’t forgotten the old fashion standard snail mail.
