One of the cool site to generate ajax loader is ajaxload.info This website let you generate many types of loader. Here are some recommended links:

- .NET platform and its benefits for VB developers ~ Patrick Yong
- Migrate from VB6 to VB.net ~Ian Su
- TIps and Tricks of VB9 - Patrick Yong

All these speakers are from Microsoft. One of interesting topic is refactoring. Meaning a tool is use to checking against classic code ie.VB to see which lines of code need to change. Even have tool tips on the code change explanation. I guess microsoft developer did get job for VS2008 as really simplified developers job. In old days, need to write hundreds of line codes just to generate piece of output. Now all u need to do is click here n there.. viola output is generated. So what do u think sh those classic codes turn in .NET world? Hrm i wonder ....

5 Ways to Meet Deadlines For Freelancers
Useful tips for freelances through asiapartime.com website
When you start a project, among the various side factors, completion of the projects within the stipulated time frame is the one that is prominently on top of all other considerations. Things get harder when you are going through multiple projects at a time. However, there are solutions and workarounds as this article will point out some of these.
SET PRIORITY
When you deal with multiple clients, it is important to prioritise the project and rank it accordingly by assigning them various levels base on requirements. It helps you to start the real work with a clear vision. Following is an example:
On a day, you are feeling a bit off and are not finding any inspiration to work for some reason. However, you still have to work as you need to satisfy, let’s say, two clients. So, you can go through any of the following:
You work too hard despite your adverse physical or mental condition, and finish both the projects, making the client satisfied. But, as you have stressed yourself too much, thus your health can break down, forcing you not to work at all for the next 3 or 4 days; which may easily offend the other remaining clients.
You decide to complete one project and left the other for the next day, as you know the later client will not be too stressed out and is co-operative, but the former one is not always so co-operative and tends to easily get along if the deadline is not met.
For me, option ‘2’ is much better and suitable for the condition as you are properly evaluating and prioritising the clients according to the merit of their behaviour and the gravity of the projects.
SET YOUR OWN DEADLINE
Before finalising a project, do think about your own ability. If the client asks you to finish 4 articles in 2 days, think first if you can or not. If you are really sure, go ahead, if not, ask for the reduction and try your best to surpass that limit. For example if the client agrees on 3 article in 2 days, finish it and try to finish another 1. This way if you are successful, client will be more than happy, and even if you manage to finish at least 3, you are on the safe side.
WORK IN WEEKDAYS ONLY
Do not work more than 5 days. In any case, do not cross those extra 2 days over, even if you know that you can work. Accept the projects keeping in mind that those 2 days you are not working. In this way, you will always have few extra days for emergencies, chilling outs or sudden events; and more importantly, it is vitally crucial that you take some break in the middle of continuous work.
EVALUATE YOURSELF EVERYDAY
Before packing up for the day, evaluate yourself. Analyse how much work you did against the expected scale. Decide if anything had gone wrong and how to fix that. Also plan how the next day should proceed. You must make this a habit, which will greatly benefit you on becoming a potent performer in your field with time.
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON SOCIAL OCCASIONS
Social events are part of life and some of them you just can’t miss by any means. However, the problem occurs when you suddenly remember them and then it becomes difficult to adjust with the work you were doing at that time. To avoid this, go through the weekly schedule carefully and properly identify days that will have to be spent on outside events other than work, and schedule your work according to that. This way you will always have a nice balance of work and social life.

someday wish to own
yesterday had spare time wonder around gurney area after window shopping at gurney plaza. Since it's too early for dinner (undicide wat to hv) take some time tour around new community area behind island plaza. This new community is called "seri tanjung pinang" build by E&O Property Development Berhad
It's a very big residential area. The house is huge n vy elegant n nice. uhh.. dun know how to describe coz it's too beautiful. The exterior design it's much different from other landed property in penang. Some of these design colonial look a like such as courtyard terraces. the build up area it's more than 4000 sq ft. hrmm that it's 4 x larger than my place. Even the fencing gate it's classic. Unfortunely the sales office business hour closed. If not would like to get a peep on the show house. (i like to c show house) :) They even have servie apartments but it's WIP. Some gallery taken from their website. Just for a peek :)

The Future of the Web: What to Expect in 2008
By Brian Suda
How will the Web of today evolve into the Web of tomorrow? The way we think of web development -- as HTML pages on a server being accessed by desktop browsers -- is about to change. The way we'll access the Web, the way we replicate and accept data, even the formats in which the data is passed, are all changing.
I'm not a betting man, so don't put all your chips down on one of my predictions, but this article details how I see the Web trending in the coming year. Much of this technology is available now, but it's used among small pockets of smart, revolutionary people. As they cut their teeth on these new ideas and products, the technology will make its way to the masses. It's my prediction for 2008 that these innovations will become understandable, both commercially and socially, and easy enough for anyone to use and access. more
