This is why …

And worst of all, more often than not, it bounces back to you.
I really do not agree what PETA is up for, this photo’s just so not fitted.

I am so late testing this on my machine
Just right after our dinner, I’m here again in front of my PC. Something took me off what I’m supposed to do. I got a new comment on my blog saying:
to: Admin – If You want to delete your site from my spam list, please visit this site for instructions …
Hellooooo!! Is that a threat?
Anyway, I didn’t install anti-spam plugin on my wordpress blog, they’re not too damaging. I just let them there awaiting for approval, or if I have time, delete them permanently. And sometimes, you can tell just by looking at the comment that the submission was not automated, a person spent time typing-in those comment templates, and if they’re not too bad, I approve it. The quoted comment above too, probably, but I got scared LOL!

Taken way back 2 years ago. I have a copy of this framed above her shoe cabinet (now thinking of changing the description of my blog, kinda not fit for “coding, coding and coding” anymore, hehe!)
I’ve seen quite a few that types into Google search box the exact question instead of keywords. Well I also do that in desperate times LOL, but its better to know just the right keywords, the right terms to get the answer you’re looking for. This post is all about Google giving what the users want – “I want an answer to my question”. Here’s a few sample questions where you get the exact answers (its quite contained in known constants, but pretty handy).




They also have quick currency conversion, but notice the disclaimer link – it implies that data maybe inaccurate.

You can test and see for yourself the results, really handy at times. But still, you cannot compare this to a work well researched and backed up with proofs and explanations (i.e. why 1cc is equal to 1ml and show some calculations). Just reminded me of my Physics class
