July 2006 – Page 2

Oh… long time didn’t blog about things happening on the internet. Today I found a nice tool which I want try out, I found it at LiewCF … but unfoturnately, the site keep showing this error message:

DEBUG INFORMATION: Connect: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Maybe the site has too much of visitors at the time I visit. I will try it out later.

The tool I mentioned is call “Page Strength”. It is a site that tells you the importance and visibility of a web page. It is like Google PageRank but I think this one seems more interesting. Page Strength use many factors to determine the “strength” of a site:

Links pointing to full URL
Links pointing to domain
Position at Google for first four workds of title tag on target URL
Age of Domain
Links from domains with .edu TLDs
Links from domains with .gov TLDs
Alexa Rank
Domain name visibility
Internal Link Percent
Number of search results for URL search at del.icio.us
Listing in DMOZ
Links found in Wikipedia
Google Pagerank of full URL and Domain

Anyway, two of the strengths from “Page Strenth” are based on Google’s statistic.

Driving is very tiring…

… especially driving home after a long day work. I’m a software programmer cum tester, I think a lot… After a 8 hours of working hours (sometime more than that), I always want to go back as soon as possible…

… it is really tiring when I’m trapped in traffic jam on my way home, it is not once… but 2 to 3 times trapped in traffic jam (road infront Prince hotel, road in front TimeSquare, Jln Syed Putra, roundabout at Jln Gasing…).

… everyday, I tried to speed up (well my top speed at Jalan Syed Putra is 90km/h and I’m always behind my colleague’s whom go home together at the same time) whenever the traffic is a bit smooth because I want reach home as soon as possible… to have my dinner, relax and watch tv series …

… speeding make me take extra caution. this is tiring also. I’m driving a 7 years old car with manual gear transmission. I need to aware the car from the left, from the right, from infront and from behind. I need to consider the car distance and see if the car behind is too close to mine whenI want to press the break…

… when driving at night, the lights of cars from the other side of road and behind make my eyes tiring also… but I can’t avoid that. I need to keep my eyes open …

… when driving home, my brain almost stop functioning, I’m tired, I don’t want think anything else… So, I rarely talk in car. I already suspended my mind, relaxing my mind, listen to the songs play in radio… I skipped those gossip because I just don’t like that…

… since university time, 7 years ago, I used to be like that. No one talking in the car (since I’m the only one in the car), soft music and… traffic jam …

… whenever I can go back early from university and if there is no jam, me and one of my coursemate will race at Jln Gasing (not too fast but it’s quite fast in that small road). I’m driving my “mclaren” (my grey color Proton Wira), he was driving his “ferrari” (his read color old Mazda model), we played “missed call” on our phone while driving, we raced untill the junction to Old Klang Road …

… I think I spent too much on car. I spent about RM300/month for petrol and RM70/month for car park. Sometimes, I use NPE toll when want go back home fast (when I’m sick or got appointment), it cost me RM1.60…

… What about car maintenance and car wash? I used about RM300++ on my car’s maintenace in this month and RM200++ last month. I was thinking to buy a new car which is petrol saving type. After an advise from a friend with some calculation, it is not worth to buy a new car just for petrol saving…

… maybe I should try to take public transport for a week someday and see if it will be more economic than driving a car in city…

… sigh … maybe I should find more money for accommodate that problem :) …
