The Internet Entrepreneur Diary

If you were reading my blog few days ago, you know that I went on a cruise trip to Mexico and visited one of the best vacation heaven- Cabo San Lucas (photos) - The land’s end where the journey begins!

My wife was set free after her company went under.  We decided to take a week break to the place we visited 2 years ago in 2006. Why we decided to visit the same place again? Cabo San Lucas is the place that inspired me to quit my job two years ago. Now, I want to get more inspiration and continue my journey at the same place.

Isn’t it beautiful? I got up at 5:00AM in the morning and took many photos of this famous place. It’s the land’s end at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in April 2006.

In 2006, my wife and I decided to take a cruise trip to Cabo San Lucas and many other beautiful places in Mexico. This was one of the most important trip in my life. I quit my full time job after the trip. While sitting on the ship and enjoying my wonderful life with the lovely other half, I made important decision in my life. My journey has just begun!

Do you like SPAM? I am sure that I do! I always carry a can of SPAM with me to camp. It’s so salty and so delicious that help me recovering from the exhausting hike. However, SPAM has been a very serious problem on this blog and few of my other blogs.

I guess that SPAMMER never read my comment policy. Just like people don’t read the cover on the SPAM can. Regardless SPAM Lite, SPAM regular or SPAM Turkey, they are all the same. They are SPAM! If you are one of the guy like to be a spammer, you know your comments will be deleted. If you are fighting for spam, you should at least give your blog some minimum protection. Read the add spam protection policy that I post a long time ago.

Not too long ago, I was very exciting about the promising service from EntreCard, which kick BlogRush out of my blogs. Five months later, I realized that EntreCard did not generate the traffic they claim they do. It makes no difference than BlogRush. I did not remove EntreCard from my blogs. Few more months later and now, I got email from EntreCard saying two of my blogs has been removed / deleted.

EntreCard sucks! EntreCard is removed from my blogs forever.

I have been thinking about writing this tutorial for my readers for sometimes. I find no one offering the best solutions to take Google calendar with you while you are offline. I have seem people reading about how to sync Thunderbird between computers. That is one of of the most popular post on this blog. I am so glad that many people have enjoyed the benefits from that post.

Now I found no  one posting the tips and tricks about how to sync Google Calendar with thunderbird and Lighting, so you can take Google Calendar with you while traveling. Most of the information you found on the Internet are all about how to sync with Google calendar with HTTP sync while you are on the Internet. The problem is that when you unplug your computer from the Internet or shutdown your wireless access, you lost the calendar. You can’t modify or add event at all.

This is where Thunderbird and Lighting come to rescue.

Are you a self-started entrepreneur, who is working alone in the dark all the way from the beginning to the end? While working alone on my journey to become a successful entrepreneur, there are many many challenges in front of me. As a long time chief software architect and web application developer, I know I really need to speed up in the business world.

While my web programming is getting close to go live, it is far beyond completion. I know it’s not necessary to go public until it’s perfect, because it will never be perfect. Working on my new project brought me so much fun. I realized that I have to pick up new technique every single day. Integrate with Google Map, third party API, or future development with mobile phone are not the challenges to me at all.

The really challenges is on my way.

While surfing on the Internet, I found this post about The 8 Common Characteristics of an Entrepreneur and many other great articles about that.

I list some of them below. If you have most of the characteristics, you have great chance to succeed as entrepreneur. You can get out of your 9-5 boring job starting now. However, there is one common characteristic missing in the list. In the past years, I have made so many changes in my life and have learned so many things from others online and offline.

I was lucky to meet with some very successful local entrepreneurs. I found a very common characteristic they all have, which I am working on. That is one of the biggest changes in my life.

Sleep well like homeless!
