korokmu — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:25:00 +0000

If you are bored and have nothing to do, you can try this neat free service from Omegle.com, talking with strangers! You don’t need to register, just open the page Omegle.com and click the “Start chat” button. In no time, you will be connected to a stranger and you can start chatting. The interesting part is that the person on the end want to chat too, just like you. If the topic was right, the conversation will be very interactive. The most important part is, your chats are completely anonymous. But sometimes, the conversation can get ugly as some strangers like to harass others like using dirty word, talking about racism, and so on. As the conversation is completely anonymous, they have nothing to scare of. If this ever occurs to you, just disconnect by clicking the disconnect button at the bottom.

If you find your conversation interesting, you can save the whole of it after disconnecting. It will be saved as HTML files with same formatting as Omegle interface.

For iPhone and iPod Touch users, you can get the Omegle iPhone app for just $0.99, which enables you to chat with random strangers anywhere as long as you have internet connection.

So, have fun talking to strangers!

InfoMalaya.com – great Malay language weblog

korokmu — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 11:56:50 +0000

InfoMalaya.com is a good Malay language blog. Behind this weblog, there are two young men Huzairy Bin Mohd Rezuan aka Bat and Mohd Yazid Bin Zaaba aka skylinez, who are very keen to share their knowledges and experiences about the cyberworld, especially with the beginners. This site was established in early 2006 and it was only a forum site. After discovering the power of blog, they decided to combine the power of blog with the ability of forum.

If they keep their effort constant, it is not impossible that infomalaya will become a great Malay language website. Nowadays we lack of Malay language blog with good content. Malaysia Boleh!!!

Names of Hurricanes

As my teacher was explaining about an newspaper excerpt in my German language class, she told us that hurricanes are named according to alphabet order. I’ve do some research on the internet and have found some useful facts.

Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again. Each name on the list starts with a different letter, for example, the name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so on. The letters “Q”, “U”, “X”, “Y” and “Z”, however, are not used.

Often when an unusually destructive hurricane hits, that hurricane’s name is retired and never used again. Since 1954, forty names have been retired. In 1996 Hurricane Luis was retired. Is your name among the currently used or retired hurricane names? (I’m not listed. I wonder if the Malays were to give name to the hurricanes… )

In the premium zone, you’ll have more clicks guaranteed!
(They are often more listed in the top 10 ranking and newsletter and will get more clicks additional that way!)

My point of view
I must resubmit my pixels every month since I am subscribing free zone. But now I am annoyed with the newsletter. It contains no information, only the most clicked pixels and new pixels.
