On9Ads.com - 11th May

I've hit a snag again yesterday. The problem was really basic but due to the unavailability of the function in dreamweaver, I'm having a big headache thinking about solving this. My issue is on letting users upload pictures on my website and displaying them accordingly on my website, like pictures for their classified ads. Online suggestions:- coldfusion, mysql blob, upload php.

If I use coldfusion, the server might not be able to run the website. I cant understand mysql blob and I've tried upload php which doesn't work. I also found that the adobe developer toolbox might be able to help. Haven't tried that yet, but I'm going to download it later. All I want is just the ability to display certain images uploaded by the user which would definitely make a better ads page. Hope to be able to get it running as soon as possible, as I've most components in place now, left out is this basic problem only.

The UM Library - 7th May

UM's Library feels so empty today. Probably its due to the fact that this week is the last final exam for this semester week. Most students would have probably gone home at this moment. Relaxing and enjoying. Well, Masters student don't get the same privilages as degree students. So, no holiday for me...considering also that I'm working as an RA here...

Anyways, there are still some people here in the library, but the amount of students around, if put into my ex-uni (UTHM) library would seem like a lot of students, the main one of course. The other one, called the "New Library", but not supposed to as it doesnt contain all the necessary books to called so, would be some what like a quarter of the UM library floor for a single level. Imagine how big is the UM library.

On9Ads.com Main Page - 7th May

Woohoo...this marks another achievement in my website! I finally figured it out after quite a number of uploading tries. I no longer have to depend on the free site builder provided trough cpanel. In fact, I can now make and upload my own main site. If any readers out there have been following my blog (Thanks! I appreciate the support), you would have noticed the old website layout and now we have a new one: "Under Construction!". Anyways, anyone out there need help with this? Hola me at: siong_hean@hotmail.com and I'll guide you! The optimism that I was supposed to cultivate is building right now and I like the feeling!

On9Ads.com - 6th May

Web design and coding (well, not much coding actually) is quite fruitful today. I've learned how to make login pages, how make your administration back end and data manipulation sites. From these methods, I'm quite sure that I'm able to create auction sites, sales sites and probably blogs today. The only thing is that I'm still not that good at it and still require some practice, but I'm sure I'll be able to master it in no time.

Up to today, I'm still not sure how to upload the man page onto the web hosting server. Can it be overwritten? Hopefully I'm able to...if, not I'll have to edit it using the sitebuilder which is in fact quite crappy. The Zencart, osCommerce and others are not so user friendly to me at the moment. To be user-friendly, it should cater to people who do not know how to do websites with simple click and paste etc methods. But well, no wonder they charge so much to make a website....

The Website - 6th May

I tried looking for my website today through Google by searching for: on9ads, but the results, really surprised me. In fact, I didn't expect any results, but the results was really strange. Although it really did appear, but it shown was not the main website but the Cafe Townsend website which I uploaded as a tutorial / testing. But, gosh, guess I've to take it down. Might spoil my reputation and give me legal headaches later.

Today also, I went to look around for ads, competitors you might say and see how are they doing their share of business. Again, it was unbelievable. Some were rock bottom cheap. Looking at them, instead of being intimidated, I was literally on fire. I'm now even more determined to succeed, and make things work. They say that rich people have the optimism for them to succeed and make them rich, and that's what I'm trying to cultivate here: optimism. Well, with competitors, I will improve myself until I'm better than them and hopefully that will help me.

The New Website On9Ads.com - 6th May

Recently, I was talking about making websites as my business site, and I finally got one!

Its here:- http://www.on9ads.com/
(Feel free to visit anytime!)

I've paid a total of USD70.80 for 2 years of hosting and this domain is a lifetime domain. So, whoever is reading this, you can still visit it now, but at the moment only the base is running which doesn't reflect the actual layout of the site.

I've also uploaded a test site:- http://www.on9ads.com/cafe_townsend
(Disclaimer:- Feel free to visit but I'm not related to Cafe Townsend nor is this is a ad for it)

Its just a testing of site making basics and also site uploading. So far so good. Anyways, if anyone would like a tutorial on your first website, feel free to leave comments and I'll start with a website building blog with Dreamweaver. Since I'm a newbie too, I suppose it would greatly help you too as the concept is:- I'm a noob and you're a noob too, if you can't understand it. Neither do I. So, stay tuned for more progress on the website!

The New Job - 3th April

I've started my new job today. Now working as a Research Assistant (RA) in Universiti Malaya for Dr.Nor Hafizah. There was nothing to be done at the moment, there was no tasks provided to me yet. So far, I feel quite relaxed here and I'm free to do my research, which is a good thing. But to say frankly, this job is almost like the Uni is paying me to do my research.

Paypal Account - 2nd May

I've got my Paypal account working! Looks like you don't have to wait for the statement, you just have to call Public Bank Card Services and ask them for the Paypal number. Today I even got back my USD 1.95, so there was no loss. I've also banked in some money through the cash deposit machine...works the same as through the counter. So, I'm still looking at hosting methods....
