Confession 2010

It’s almost a year ago, I post Weekend Confession – Plenty of opportunities saying Google was trying to acquire Yelp.com for $550 million dollars. A year later in December 2010, Google is trying to buy Groupon for $6 billion dollar. Obviously, there were a lot of opportunities. So how am I doing on my business?

Well. From Google’s perspective, my business sucks! It’s time to look back and give my self a serious examination.

Recently, I discovered one of my web project build on top of CodeIgniter is having issues with duplicate page views. It only happens to FireFox and Google Chrome browser. It looks just find on IE, Opera and Safari browser. So I keep researching and researching and finally found out that Facebook Social Plugin is hitting the page after the initial page load from the browser triggered by the end user.

I am not sure why it doesn’t happen to browsers other than FireFox and Google Chrome. There has to be a way to prevent this from screwing up my page view counter.

100 Days to change my life

In the dark

I have been reading Maren Kate’s Escaping the 9 to 5 blog for a while, who is one of the well known women entrepreneurs. Maren recently posted her challenge about 100 Days to Change Your Life and hit road block. Now I am wondering what I would do to change my own life in 100 days this time?

I am not as young and beautiful as her, but I do have the same ambition to live on interest and work less than 4 hours a week. Really! I need a guiding light to lead me out of the dark.

To be honest, I have set so many goals in the past. How will I reach my goals in 100 days this time?

A great friend worth millions

FriendsMealI cannot thank enough to a friend of mine.

I was away from home for 3 weeks. He watched my house, water the plants, checked the mailbox, dump the junk newspaper on the driveway, flush the toilets, took me to airport.

When I am back, he picked me up at the airport and prepared the dinner for me. So I don’t have to cook after the late night flight. Well. The dinner end up took me 6 meals to finish. That’s a lot of foods.

That’s what a friend for. This friendship worth millions. Thankfully, he took care of my house while I was backpacking in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for 7 months.

Of course, I did the same thing when they are away from home for family events and for vacation. I took care everything even the very cute cat that I am seriously allergic to.

Get rid of bad junkies out of my Fastlane vehicle


I can’t agree more after reading The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to… by MJ DeMarco. Time is really the most important thing in the Fastlane to millions. I think it’s time to stop wasting time and money keeping those unused domains. It’s time to find the easy way to turn them into cash.

I often thought about some idea and went ahead to Godaddy to purchase the domains. It end up doing nothing and simply waste hosting and domain registration fee. It also drag me down. Idea is worthless, if there is execution beyond that.

Time is money! The truth of wealth on Fastlane is revealed!
