Here’s a summary of what I’ve learnt from running at least 5 km per day for 100 days and how it relates to an entrepreneurs mindset. What started this journey was not planned at all. In the past few years, I’ve been running on a regular basis (maybe 1-3 times a week) and near the […]

We decided to take a quick trip down to Canberra and spend 4 days there during the New Year. We drove down using our Renault KOLEOS and the drive took about 3 hours and 29 minutes (including stops). We rented an apartment in Canberra City (The Metropolitan – London Tower) and was in walking distance […]
We needed a new car since our Honda CRV was involved in a car accident and was written off. The Honda CRV served us well for the past 10 years and we made many memories with it. After some research and driving several cars, we decided to go with the Renault KOLEOS Formula Edition metallic […]
I just noticed that I’ve hit the 1000km mark milestone. I don’t believe I’ve ever hit this mark in the past and I do hope I can continue this next year. I keep reminding myself that the World Health Organisation recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week – so that’s what […]
For those of you who were not aware, in Sydney we are currently experiencing a number of bushfires across NSW and most states and Australia. On Tuesday, the haze was pretty bad, probably the worst I’ve seen since living in Australia. According to this World Air Quality website the area that I live in had […]
If your Samsung Health is no longer synching with Strava, check to make sure they are still connected. A few weeks ago I had constant issues with Strava not receiving my runs from Samsung Health and after some troubleshooting, I discovered they were no longer connected. Something stopped the synching and if you’re running into […]

Track your package: http://xxxx When I received this message, the first thing that popped in my head was: “Which item am I waiting for?” as I […]
Just the other day I received an affiliate commission of AU$399.00 This was for a sporting item which has a sale value of $3,999.00 (commission of 10%). So far this has been one of the highest commission I’ve ever earned. My previous highest commission was US$345.00 (but it only had a sale value of $690 […]
Today marks the 30th day of running at least 5km per day! I ran a total of 149.7kms. I decided to see how my body will respond when running at least 5km each day and yes it’s a bit crazy. I have been running the occasional 1-3 runs a week but never consecutively for 30 […]
In a previous post “Configuring the Cisco ASA” I described how I configured the Cisco ASA and I mentioned about the Cisco AnyConnect client. The Cisco AnyConnect client has been working well but recently I noticed the profile hostname changed and it was not loading the correct server. It was getting annoying so I wanted […]
I just created this short video for our ePosters Interactive Digital Signage solution using a cloud-based tool called inVideo. It didn’t take long for me to create the video since there were existing templates I could use. I used images and videos for different parts of the scenes for the video and I hope to […]
Today is World Teachers’ Day in Australia (25th of October 2019). It’s generally held on the 5th of October 2019 across the globe but since this date falls during the Australia school holidays it’s celebrated on the last Friday of October. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to recognise and appreciate teachers and the role […]
I recently spent a few weeks updating our Advertise Me website. The website needed some tender love and care as it has been neglected over the years. The overall rankings on Google over the years has also dropped so I decided to take the initiative to make some changes with the hope of improving the […]
Yes, I paid $54.99 to renew one of my expired domains. I accidentally let the domain lapse and it was all my fault. The email forwards that the domain hosting company sent didn’t reach my main mailbox and even though I had reminders set in my calendar, the domain expired. I suffered because of this. […]
I’m not sure if this is the best way to Synch your runs from Samsung Health (I use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) to Strava but it seemed to have worked. I was originally synching the data between Google Fit and Strava since the runs synched between Google Fit and Samsung Health but there were […]
I just started using a software tool called Luminar to edit and make photos look “AWESOME”. It can be used for both Windows and macOS and I just wanted to share with you what it can do, especially the AI image enhancer. With this filter it just simply makes the images look so much better […]
I recently had to set up the Cisco ASA (Adaptive Security Appliance) 5505 for our office and this brought back fond memories of when I was working for the Australia Broadcasting Corporation migrating vendors using Site to Site VPNs and the whole of the ABC staff from the Cisco VPN Concentrator 3000 to the Cisco […]
Panic strikes whenever you see the engine light flash on the dashboard and this happened to us the other day. It was unfortunate it happened a few days before we wanted to use the car to drive interstate. The most recent thing that was done, was my father-in-law cleaned the top of the engine with […]
