There are two surprises for me today….although it may not be big deals for you out there..they are for me…

The first one….remember my post about eBay Explained 2006 where I had met LiewCF and Colbert?

I checked out my Technorati links today and found a new link to my blog from Ashruffz Reality Adventure. Well Ashruff is actually a fan of LiewCF blog and he had been listening to our (me, Liew and Colbert) conversation while we were waiting for the seminar to start. Poor Ashruff…he should have had the courage to meet his favourite blogger and say hi and join us in the conversation. There were a couple of other guys who did just that. All the best to Ashruffz and his adventure.

The second surprise… I have mentioned Wendy Piersall a few times in my posting, and that I am a regular reader of her blog called eMoms At Home. This morning I was there again and guess what? There was no Most Valuable Posts entry which she would normally post every Friday, but I found the Most Valuable Commenters instead. And my name and my blog’s had been mentioned as one of her MVCs. This is an honour really…I really appreciat her for that and to tell you the truth.. I have learnt a great deal from Wendy, not only through her blog but also from her advice which I had sought through email, although not very often. Thanks again Wendy…all the best to you, eMoms At Home.

And it might be worth while for you guys to check out the other MVCs honoured by Wendy as well …

I am very sure most of you have a website. One way to spread the news about your website is by listing it in as many web directories as possible so that you can reach wider audience. I have launched my web directory Links Portfolio barely over two months ago and the number of submission is quite encouraging.

Links Portfolio offers three options for listing:

1. Featured Listing (paid)
2. Regular Listing (paid)
3. Regular listing with reciprocal (free)

I am currently running a promotion for Links Portfolio.

Regular listings are currently free for first 200 submissions and as of today more than 100 slots have been taken. I am pretty sure it will run out sooner than I had thought, as Links Portfolio is now being promoted in quite a few places on the world wide web. The pace is really picking up.

I am also offering a 2-year Featured Listing for for the price of 1 year, which is really good deal.

Links Portfolio had been newly accepted as a member of ISEDN.org (Independent Search Engine and Directory Network).

You wouldn’t want to be the first to be charged for ’stealing’ neighbour’s WiFi bandwidth, would you? Excuse me….stealing? Yes…meaning taking something belonging to someone else without permission…that’s why you can be charged in the court of law of a country.

The unfortunate incident happened in Singapore where the neighbour had reported to the police about the teenager taking free rides surfing the internet off the neighbour’s WiFi connection.

If found guilty under the Singapore’s Computer Misuse Act, Garyl Tan Jia Luo, 17, could face a possible fine of SGD10,000 or the three years in prison.

I wonder if the charge would hold any water because if you are using a WiFi router and does not secure your connection, which is standard feature in a WiFi and easily configured, everyone within your WiFi range can detect your signal and connect to the internet for free. I wonder how the court would respond to the lawyers from both sides.

You guys want to share how you would prosecute and/or defend this case?
