Well. If you knew about it long before this post then good for ya! Just in case you stumbled upon this post via some keywords I am not sure about, then today you are about to learn something new.

If you have been using Google Docs the online document sharing thingy developed by Google, you may have realized that uploading anything other than PDF, Word Documents, Excel etc are quite impossible.

But that has changed now. You can upload almost anything. Zipped files. Exe files. You can make this as your personal online storage place or perhaps share mp3′s or videos with friends. Go ahead. Create your own custom presentation folders that you can use anytime anywhere. (Provided you have internet access of course)

I love Google earth. But I hate installing it. But now you can experience the Google Earth experience online without ‘installing’ anything. Well, you still need to install the Google Earth plugin for your Google Map.

Now you can travel the world and check out popular and important structures and fly through monuments and what not. Did I mentioned you can go underwater and visit the Titanic as well? Now you know…

So start planning, get those riding boots ready and perhaps visit Peru? I checked out Sabah and Yayasan Sabah building is in 3D too! Wicked! Check out Google Map now!

Google has increased my Page Rank. It was (0,3,0 & now 2)

Just in case you are new here and you are wondering what the heck this PR thingy is here is the explanation:

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).

So am I supposed to be happy? Nah… not really. A page rank does not necessarily mean high traffic or a quality website. I am just happy that most advertisers for my blogs do not look at page rank as their first criteria.

So it doesn’t matter if your blog or website has weird name like noxycut, blabberblakhs or stupiditymumzy dot com…. you can still make it in the wild wild web!

The other day I did mentioned about how I my Google Adsense payment has been processed. I used to request Google to send in cheque instead of the Western Union option. At the time it was all about excitement.. you know holding the physical checque in your hands and knowing that it’s for real. But clearing the checque takes ages and not to mention the fees that they charge you. Filling out forms and all that makes you think you are in a science project making model prototype 37c or something..

In future for those of you who resides in Sabah or the Peninsular Malaysia, please take note that apart from the actual Western Union counter or the post office, there are banks that handles Western Union transactions too. Here are the lists. More info at http://www.westernunion.com.my
