Yesterday, I found a security hole in AdAuction forget password page, reported it to them, and finally it is fixed now, thank you very much!

After the success of two SEO contests organized by Marc Hil Macalua, a third SEO contest is on its way now. Tukayo already announced it in his blog and he said, “…,we’re breaking new grounds by introducing a team-based point system that will revolutionize the way all future SEO contests are run.” Team-based point system?

It’s final, unlike TLA and Reviewme, Auction Ads pay via Paypal only, and they didn’t entertain my petition for payment via Xoom using Paypal.

After enjoying a first page in Google in one day, my Peter Answers post is nowhere to be found now on the keywords peter answer and peter answers. What happened? Google just sent Peter to Google Hell. Hehehe.
With 22,000,000 sites competing for the keyword peter answers and 44,000,000 sites for peter answer, I felt so lucky hitting the first page of Google for those keywords after blogging about it here.

Yuga reported on his blog that a rumor is spreading like wildfire that Google is in talks to buy Feedburner.
More than a week has passed and textmates has no update yet. My apologies to all the readers and subscribers, but I can’t find time to encode the text messages I am receiving on my cellphone. The work here in Hong Kong is quite tiring that I have no more energy encoding the text messages [...]
