Sabahan Bloggers Gathering (SBG) is on it's  second launch to bring together local bloggers in an effort to congregate and forge new friendship circles.

2009's event will be held on Halloween - where participants are expected to don their costumes/masquerade to spice up the event! What's known is that there will be a dinner party, coupled with lucky prizes, performances and special guest appearances, so this year's event is even better than the first!

(It's such a pity I could not attend last year's event... I heard it was fantastic!!!)

There's been a problem with my Twitter account... it has been suspended due to (strange activities?) I've sent them a support ticket about it and removed the code insert from my blog so that it doesn't cause much problems to visitors... (it was pretty annoying to have a popup login window every time I browsed my blog entries.)

I guess twitter is out until the matter is resolved... which I hope is pretty soon.

In the meantime, I've got to catch up on my reading and blog writing... it's been put aside for quite sometime already... way too long to be honest.

Not sure whether the game's system requirements is accurate? Or do you just want to know whether it's playable before you head out to the stores to get it? Well, you can do that online through this website called "Can You Run It?" by System Requirements Labs.

Basically what this site does is collect information about your current computer's hardware information and helps you determine whether the game title of your choice is playable on your system.

Mail or Microsoft's Hotmail/Live! was not possible in the past unless you paid for their premium service (which features POP/SMTP access)... But coming across some posts online, there is a way to use these email programs with your free accounts!

The only thing I'm hoping for is that there aren't anymore complications that will stop me from posting on Naith's Myst.

Well now, time for me to get working on those posts!

It's the day where shop owners up the prices of chocolates, cards, flowers and other related memorabilia to double or even triple the normal price for people who are desperately in need to purchase them in order to show "love" to their loved ones.

Restaurants will be having "dinner for two" promotions - embracing loving couples that will flock to their establishments for an unnecessarily expensive romantic dinner before settling down in the comfort of their bedrooms try to re-enact procreation with some form of finesse...

Those who have their computers infected will begin sending messages to friends on their wall:

"Wow... look what somebody wrote about you in their blog... it's a bit harsh. check it out Go here http://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.com"

Clicking on that link will bring you to a forgery site (phishing site) where should you enter your login and password will have your accounts, hacked.

It's been quite sometime since I last wrote, I have a lot of personal issues to deal with lately... but I'm back and am starting on my thinking cap again about all the stuff I wanted to write since my disappearance.

Spam emails are getting very sophisticated lately, having copied email postings of big companies like Paypal, Hallmark with their notifications to distribute spyware/malware to your computer. Just last week I had a friend complaining of a laptop issue where the windows was sluggish, ask him if he ever downloaded anything suspicious and he claims he didn't... but upon inspection, I detected a few Hallmark card notifications which the links ended as .exe and .scr files instead of a proper link to where the card is located. Common extensions that harbour viruses and such.

In short, it took a painstaking 4 hours just to remove all problems on his system. What's the lesson to be learned here?
