Did you notice? At the very beginning of this blog I wrote this article: Basic Windows Tweaks for Better Computing Experience. Well, I still have plenty of similar articles up in my sleeves and haven't publish them yet. But I do have some interesting computer tips (old link) to share at Opentips.com written by various experts.
In Australia I spent most of my time working as a computer service technician. My job was to fix broken computer and maintain a network of around 20 computers for Internet cafe. It cost people up to $80 for a repair I done in few hours. Even when not at work, tweaking and maintaining a Windows PC is just my daily life.

Proven Way to Gain Huge Traffic with StumbleUpon
November 28, 2007
Have you ever heard of StumbleUpon? I have an account with them but have not used since I made it. StumbleUpon is a social-media (social network) that allows user to tag and blog about things they found on the Internet.
StumbleUpon is very similar to Digg.com, Del.icio.us. However it is more blogging oriented, and hence more friendly to bloggers.
A peer's testimonial
I, myself overlooked StumbleUpon. But that's about to change. After I read Sujoy shares his own experience after submitting his own blog posts onto StumbleUpon. Sujoy claims to have few hundred unique visits a day thanks to using this social network. I found him via Yeepage's love links.
