After finish the design and code for this ‘Miss Pinkie’ theme, I asked the boyfriend to check the CSS and XHTML validation for this theme.
This theme pass the CSS validation. Horay! Now, it is the XHTML turn.
It turn out to be not validated with 5 errors. What? Not validate? Got 5 errors some more? How could it be?
The boyfriend checked the errors and turn out that all the 5 errors is coming from the entrecard script. -__-” Nothing can be done unless I take out the entrecard widget. Or somebody out there knows how to settle this problem?
Oh well, actually whether this theme passes the CSS and XHTML validation or not is not a big deal. Cause I am using it for my own blog and not gonna submit it as a free theme to be downloaded at wordpress theme viewer.
Hokay, forget about seeing the green mark from XHTML validation. I shall get back to my green Idul Fitri design for greeting card. Faster finish, faster get approval, and faster get the money.

My old Acer laptop is running on 512MB memory only. It was running so smooth back then, which was more than 3 years ago. The laptop is an old lady now. After several upgrade and install more software, this laptop need more memory obviously. I have tried a lot of software to know more about how my laptop consume it laptop memory.
This is the screenshot when I was just turned on my laptop. It has consumed half the memory already without running any program. Imagine if I am working with FireFox, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. Wah, I can bang my head to the wall by then. The boyfriend did bring a 1GB memory here, hoping that he could upgrade my laptop to a better one. But too bad, it doesn’t match. Sigh.
Oh well, I don’t think this ‘old lady’ will last long lo. But, whatever, use it while can.

My 3 years old Acer Travelmate runs at 512MB. As it is getting older, I am having a hard time running Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Windows media player at the same time. If I open 2 programs together, it works very slow like an old granny at a marathon run. A four hours Photoshop work has become an eight hours work. I become grumpy and the unwelcome-wrinkles comes out.
It is a relief when I got my Dell Inspiron 530 a month ago. Although it is only Dual Core and the computer memory is just 1GB, but it is good enough to run Adobe software and listen to mp3 at the same time. Good performance of the computer resulting in good mood. Good mood means can produce better design work (and finish in a short time) and blog more. The end result is, more $ money $ comes in which means better life.

I tried and it works! Let’s flash back.
I stumbled upon Doshdosh article about ‘20 Quick Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank’. The post is one year old already so some of the tips might not work now. But, whatever, I won’t know if I don’t try.
So I took the very basic tips which is to install the Alexa toolbar on my Firefox and set my blog as the homepage. I used ‘SearchStatus 1.24′ that not only display Alexa rank but also Google Page Rank. And I still keep my google toolbar, to double check the PR. Next, put up Alexa Rank widget on my blog and put aside the other 18 tips.
It was said that Alexa rank will change in 3-4 days. So, I post like usual and traffic is quite good. After waiting, today I see the Alexa rank has increased from 3.000.XXX to 1.924.930. Total increase 1,701,603 in 3-4 days time. 
Some said Alexa has changed the calculation system. Another one said this tips will work if your rank is still in the million number. And so on so on. Bleh, whatever, read too much can confuse myself.
After all, I just want to prove the tips. It seems to be quite fun. *Back to work*

3 years ago, 2005, I bought my Acer travelmate laptop at Sunway Pyramid, without any accessories; i.e. mouse, laptop bag, laptop cooler, flash disk, etc. Not long after that, PC Fair came with so many promotions and cheaper price of course. -__-”
3 years later which is 3 weeks ago, I bought Dell PC (inspiron 530) from one of the Dell dealer in Medan. It came in a complete set; keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and speaker. Then, here come NIX’08 - National IT Expo 2008, from 6 - 11 May, at Sun Plaza. -__-”
Why the PC Fair always comes after I bought the computer? Better don’t go and check the price, else I might faint down if it is cheaper than what I paid. Or maybe there is free gifts for buying computer; i.e. printers or flash disk or free RAM.

The largest forum in Indonesia, Kaskus, has closed the adult content section - bb17 since 29 March. Cause the government wanted to fight against the pornography on the internet.
But then, there is a saying says ‘mati satu tumbuh seribu‘ in Indonesia language (translate directly to English - die one grows one thousand).
Now bb17 has become an independent forum. There is bb17.org and bb17.info. While bb17.net seems to be the parking ads site, bb17.com not accessible.
One of them even submit the url info to digg.
So, fighting porn in Indonesia? Still a long way to go.

After put the text link ads from Kumpulblogger (Pay Per Click service from Indonesia) for a week, I have taken it down from my blog sidebar since few days ago. One week is enough to try it out.
Obviously it doesn’t work on this blog. So far I only earn Rp.300! And that is the only click which actually came from me, myself and I, when I wanted to try it out. -__-” If you convert it to Ringgit Malaysia, it is only 10 cents per click! In USD it is 0.0327 US dollar!
Of why I think it doesn’t work on this blog:
1. This blog is written in English and targeted to English educated people. While the ads is in Indonesia language.
2. Even if the visitors are Indonesian or understand Indonesia language, they are clever enough not to be cheated and click the stupido ads (invest Rp.1,5jtprofit Rp.384jt! Peluang dahsyat sekali dalam seumur hidup.Stok Terbatas!). The advertisers are just a few, with the same service : earn billion of money in a short time, how to earn lotsa money online kind of thing. Duh.
3. Combining point 1 and 2, my blog content doesn’t match the ads content. Or it should be the ads content that doesn’t match this blog content? Ah whatever. The point is, it isn’t like Google ad sense that follow the blog contents. It is too far away from Nuffnang kind also.
Can’t blame them for having such a little advertisers. Kumpulblogger just started on early January this year. But it is almost 4 months already. On the other side, I see that there is always bloggers signing up with them everyday. Obviously, everyone wishes to make money online.
I think Kumpulblogger is more suitable to be a blogger community service. Kumpul blogger itself means blogger gathering.
