Emoticon For WordPress!

Ported this over to WordPress, the whole process took me 5 hours. I really got nothing to do. 25 26 all of them.

The hardest part is to remember it!

KeKKWA Teaser

The Ministry requested mock-up from me. I will be waiting for their response on this. Just in case I don’t win the job, here’s how it’ll look like. I’ve been working on this for almost 2 days . I completed it. Now wish me LUCK!

KeKKWA stands for Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan Malaysia.

Let’s Help Web Communities!

Few years ago (long before I became a web developer), I was so frustrated with the Malaysian Web. It was ugly, hideous and non-informative. It’s still ugly, hideous and non-informative.

Let’s look at a Major Player. When was this web updated?

I expect for them to be better. As the leader and only company on Forbes 500 from Malaysia, slow, delayed and ill-informed, is this the kind of image they way to portray?

Anyway, over the weekend, I was pretty bored. So I emailed a few bloggers to help them with their design (I know these bloggers use plug and play templates). Nothing wrong using a template, it just need some minor customization.

Out of all the emails I sent, 1 replied. She is a sweet girl and the author of Merdurian, called Vickie. She agreed to let me design an icon for her. I did a durian with some animation. Hope she likes it. (Took me 2 hours, told you I got nothing to do).

Anyway, for those who need help their icon, drop a comment or email me. But do me a favor, be sure you know how to change them. There’s a lot of information on that so read on.

PS: Vickie, a ‘venti latte’ would be fine (for the designing fees!) LoL.

Me, MCOBA.org and MCOBA ICT

Not in picture: Camus (taking the picture)

Last Friday I attended a MCOBA ICT meeting. We were tasked to complete MCOBA.org. Then came the long debate of Joomla vs Drupal. It’s not an easy decision. Having used both platform for my previous web projects, both shines in their own special way. Joomla is a plug and play but can be very frustrating at times. Drupal is for hardcore developer but we have very little time to develop the site.

As the discussion progresses, we know we were heading no where. Camus, the head of MCOBA ICT suggested we should wrap up and just leave the decision to me. Everyone agreed. I am now officially part of the MCOBA ICT Committee. Ehh… wait a minute, I went to the meeting just to spur some ideas, not join to you guys geeks! Anyway, as the appointed Leader for the MCOBA.org project, I hope team members can give their utmost cooperation in developing the site. (Who said I hate power?)

I guess Camus and other senior MCOBA ICT are too tied up with work. They’ve done so much, I guess its about time to pass the baton and let others carry it. I won’t let you down. (MCOBA.org, will be a good portfolio don’t you think?)

Now I really need to compose myself really well. I have a lot of things to shuffle, work, coaching, paperwork for new business, batch, personal projects, mcoba ict & personal fitness. Thank God I don’t have any girl to give me headaches. Phewww.

PS: Those who are interested in joining the MCOBA.org Project, please contact me. I need a limitless photoshop-er and a server admin (can deal with dedicated server). Oh yeah, you have to be MCKK old boys. Currently interested, Izrin and Shoul from Class of 2000.

PSS: Why do I write a lot about my SCHOOL?

Pak Lah Wants Me..

Maybank2u.com.my - Website for 50 Year Old Virgin

I am a frequent user of Maybank2u ever since 2001 when I first got my current account. I use Maybank2u to pay everything from car loan, house loan, bills, transfer money and sometimes top-up for others (don’t ask who).

But there are things I hate about Maybank2u.

• Old design, since 2001.
• Prepaid top up (mobile phone) will be given a code
• TAC number delay, sometimes the next day
• Bill Registration
• Poor navigation, will only confuse others.
• Poor graphic and coding
• The use of iFrame
• The HTTP 300 Error
• Search feature, non existent.
• Maybank.com
• Location of the Branch
