New Flickr Uploadr 3.2.1

There is a new update for Flickr - version 3.2.1. I used to use this software to upload batches of photos but it always fail. What I can do before this was to upload photos with a smaller batch, batch-by-batch and not dare to touch the software while the photos are uploading.

Beware of Phishing Site Links from Windows Live Messenger

Recently I received a lot of phishing links from my Windows Live Messenger buddies. And most of the links redirect me to MSN phishing sites and some of them redirect me to download software and screen saver (which may contain virus).

Please beware the links that sent from your friends in Windows Live Messenger. The messages itself may not sent by your friend's intension. Before you open any link, ask your friends if the links are sent by them. If not, their PC might have infected by virus or spyware.

Read more here on what you need to do when you receive those kinds of message.

Uninstalling IE8

Do you use Internet Explorer with Maybank2u's online stock? I'm having problem to load all the drop down menus in IE8 when I'm in Maybank2u's online stock home page, thus I can't see my stock profiles, transaction histories and etc. I guess it is a bugs in IE8 because even using the "Compatible View" feature in IE8 does not help.

Uninstalling IE8 is not as straight forward as unstalling standard program as it is installed as a Windows Update. If you facing  the same problem and thinking to uninstall IE8, you can refer to "How to uninstall IE8 in Windows Vista".

Flickr or Picasa Web Albums

I was thinking to buy an online photo album storage to store all my photo albums. From my previous trip to UK, I have already taken around 6GB of photos! So I do need a larger space for my photos and it's price must be affordable. I have reviewed and compared two online photos storage provider: Flickr from Yahoo and Picasa Web Albums from Google.

Gmail Manager

After I had installed Firefox 1.5 on my notebook, I went to Mozilla Extensions to look for some plug-ins. I found this: Gmail Manager. Previously I was using Gtalk as my Gmail Notifier but sometimes I found it was a bit 'heavy' (drained some resources) to run on my notebook. Gmail Manager is more light-weight. Since I didn't use Gtalk as the messenger so it is OK for me to use Gmail Manager.

Gmail Manager

Gmail Manager
Size: 70Kb
Requires: Firefox: 1.0 - 1.5
Latest Version: 0.4.1

I installed Adsense Notifier 0.7 for Firefox too but it seems to have conflict with Gmail Manager. Most of the time, the stats doesn't show up. The programmer of Gmail Manager or Adsense Notifier might take note on this.
