Where Should This Go?
Jun 1st
After a year of being so abrupt in my blog postings, I can finally say that I have completed my education entirely – including the CPA exam. I took the last part a few weeks ago and the results are out in a week but I feel pretty good about it. Basically, after months and months of studying (since last August), I have finally come up with the time to do the things I normally did – go to the gym, YouTube videos and now the blog.
The reason for the title of this post is only because I really really want to continue the blog but I fear that the following has somewhat disappeared. I haven’t been to involved in the MMO field and now that I have the time I can really do just that but I am not sure if its a good idea to stop the blog and create a new one or continue with the current blog.
I really enjoyed talking about new possibilities, blog concepts, WordPress plug-ins and so forth and I’d like to continue doing that but I also want to be sure that the blog can sustain itself with a following that I had at a point. Let me know your thoughts and I will definitely think about this myself. It may be better to make the url more memorable but who knows, maybe it is fine the way it is! Let me know and I’ll be putting out more posts in the time being! Thanks guys!
Whats Your Addiction?
Jan 11th
There are many things that people are “addicted” to and although I say “addicted”, I’m not really talking about coffee or anything. I’m talking about things that interest you. For example, I love electronics (therefore the iPad picture above) and I will experiment with different kinds of electronics. I built two desktops last year, I have the 1st generation ipod touch and I recently got the Archos 101 tablet. I just enjoy seeing technology evolve and its just interesting to me.
People, just like myself, are always intrigued by something or the other whether its clothes, cars, whatever it may be. Today, I want to talk about things that interest me and maybe sooner or later, I’ll be able to provide more of an insight into such things. I want to know, whats your addiction? What is something that you just enjoy or love?
Another one of my hobbies is this “vehicle” you see above. Its the Traxxas Rustler VXL which is a remote control car and although most of you probably think that R/C cars are for kids, you’ll be mistaken. This particular car goes past 65 mph. As such speeds, its almost dangerous to hand over the control to an inexperienced user or young kids for that matter. I just enjoy going out there on the street and watching my Rustler run up and down the street at extremely high speeds.
Its also great because I get to make modifications to it, and fix it up when things go wrong – and things do go wrong or break but if you’re looking for a R/C car and you don’t mind spending a couple hundred bucks, then the Traxxas brand is definitely one that you should consider. I think quite a few guys have a need for speed and if you can’t get it on the streets in an actual car then you should invest in a R/C car. I should also note that a Traxxas even if its $300 brand new, even with 5 years of use, its still worth a $100 or $150 so it retains value and still works really really well.
Watches….Thats all that I need to say! Watches.. I love my watches. I think jewelry for women is overrated and its time for men to indulge in a little something for themselves. I always have a watch on my wrist no matter if its worth like $10 or if its priceless and although people don’t see the point of spending more than $50 for a watch, watches are like an investment. They are like owning property.
You’d be surprised to know that quite a lot of watches actually not only retain their value but also increase in value. Yes, agreed, those types of watches are expensive but still great nonetheless.
Let me know what you guys think is your “addiction”. It doesn’t really have to be something that you can’t live without but basically things that interest you, and things that you enjoy. Lets hear it!
Happy New Year – 2011
Jan 1st
Let me be the first to wish you guys Happy New Year! I can’t believe that 2010 has just flown by and we are into the new part of the decade. Seems like only a few years ago that it was 2001. A lot of things have changed for me in 10 years and the difference has been huge and most importantly, a lot of things have changed in the past year but I want 2011 to be a big year.
What are your resolutions for the new year? I think for me, I want 2011 to be a huge year. I want to increase my investments, I want to spend more time focusing on expanding the blog and my other ventures and I definitely want to dedicate more time to experimenting with CPA and CPC offers at Market Leverage and Clickbooth.
I actually really want to get back into the CPA and CPC thing mostly because I have seen a lot of people do quite well in the past year and I think that with a little learning, some investment and time commitment, I can get a piece of the pie – however small it may be. If you guys have any guides or tutorials that helped you, I would love to take a look at it.
Either way, hope you guys have a fantastic new year and keep me posted about what you are working on! I will have a post in a few days requesting you guys to email me or write to me about some new blogs that have come around that I should visit. I look forward to becoming more active and I know my readers will be able to help me! Have a GREAT New Year!
Winner Attitude Required For Success – Part 1
Nov 9th
Lately theres been a lot of pessimism when it comes to the getting stuff done and some people are just not looking at things with the right perspective. There is no denying the fact that I too have felt pessimistic at times and things get gloomy every now and then but at the end of the day, something might be on your mind that is just temporary, its just a problem that will eventually go away.
The only way to really be successful is if you view the world and what it brings to you, in a positive light. My first post is going to focus on factors that lead to people becoming “Losers” more so than “Winners”. There are a few things that can lead to your downfall when it comes to being a winner and I’m going to list a few of them here:
1) Worrying too much – People tend to think way too much about things. Before submitting a project, they’ll worry whether they did it right or wrong. After taking an exam, they’ll worry about going through their textbooks and looking at what they got correct. Sometimes, theres not enough time to worry OR its too late to worry about something. You can’t really go back and change your answers, you know?
2) Trust / Delegation – Sometimes we are so used to doing things ourselves that when we have to hand off something to a stranger to complete, we feel the need to take over and show them how its done. We hate when people micro-manage us but we feel compelled to do it ourselves. We can’t be like that, we need to trust the work that others perform for us and obviously, it won’t be exactly how you like it, but it still will save you a lot of time and effort.
3) Negative Outcome Perception – This is what I call NOP – Negative Outcome Perception. The only reason I say perception is to remind you that you cannot be negative about something or believe that something will have a negative result until it is complete or has actually happened. You never know what may happen or if something might happen along the way that may change the outcome. You can’t be negative!
Hopefully you’ve taken a few great points away from this post. I’d like to hear your feedback regarding these and don’t worry, everyone has dealt with one or more of these issues throughout their life so its not like things cannot be changed, they can be, its just up to you to do so!
How Good or Bad is 1&1 Hosting?
May 26th
This isn’t a review as most of you would think. I know that I haven’t posted in a long time here on Enkay Blog but I think the time has come that I do start posting on here. I’ve missed the blog a lot and school has now come to a close and that means, more time for my blog. Interestingly enough, this comeback post is somewhat weird for me. I have been with 1&1 Hosting for about 4 years now and have never had any problems but I started to get concerned after I received this email from a reader who is also a member on a very popular hand-held PC forum. A forum where I have been a member for about 5 years.
The email is as follows – ” Figured I’d share my experiences with 1&1. I am glad you are having good luck with them, but honestly, I have no good words for them. The domain was stolen a few days before the last PocketPC Magazine hit the stands, in which my software won a major award, and I was receiving a lot of exposure with DVD Catalyst Free due to a LifeHacker article. They took over the domain at the time the domain was the most popular, and nearly killed my whole business in the process. Because of their thievery, I’ve been struggling ever since. Finally last November I got a lucky break, but take it from me, change your registrar company before you end up like me.”
The thing is that I have heard of PocketDVD and I think that this story does have a lot of truth to it and I strongly feel for this individual. I also understand what is going on. I even looked up what this person was talking about and its very true – this has happened to a lot of people. Now, I figured that I am a loyal customer so why shouldn’t my hosting company be loyal to me? right? well, I want to ask these questions directly to 1and1 so I hope that someone is willing to answer these questions for me.
So, if anyone 1and1.com representative comes across this or anyone has had experience with this issue or has heard others that have had this issue please write in the comment box below as I would love to hear from you. So lets see the comments! Also, do let me know if you’ve experienced such problems or even similar problems with other hosting companies.
