AGLOCO: Own the Internet. Money with ViewBar| Malaysia

Nov 24, 2006 in Java, Free

Ok, this is a copy and paste from their website…

This is AGLOCO™ ’s proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!

How does this work? Once you sign up on their website, when available you will be able to download the Viewbar software, a free toolbar-sized application (half the size of a traditional Windows tool bar) that quietly sits on your desktop without ever hampering your online habits. That’s all you need to do! Just continue using the Internet as you used to… no need to change your habits!

Do you have several individuals using one computer? You can have different AGLOCO™ viewbars to fit the profile of each user.

Don’t want to see or use the Viewbar at any given time? Just minimize it and the Viewbar stops working!

There are different ways AGLOCO™ can make money for its Members:

* Cash: You get cash by surfing the Internet while the Viewbar is running. AGLOCO™ ’s profits are distributed back to its Members. And you can also receive real-time discounts should you choose to purchase from AGLOCO™ ’s partners. They will never include gambling or adult entertainment sites as partners.

* Shares: In addition to cash, AGLOCO™ will give out shares in the company to its Members. Eventually, AGLOCO™ plans to go public and will be traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM. You can start earning stock options by keeping Viewbar active while you surf. In addition, you will gain extra shares by referring active users to AGLOCO™ (they lose nothing).

The more people join AGLOCO™ , the more value the community can generate for itself. The company believes those that build the community deserve more: your own profits become larger the more people you refer. You can accumulate hours not only from your Internet activity but also from those who you refer, and their referrals too… Up to 5 levels underneath you! For example, if you refer 10 people and all of them refer 5 people each, you could make over 7000 shares a month*!

Remember, this is all free, you don’t lose anything, all you have to do is sign up, download the Viewbar and that’s it. Build your network and refer friends, family and colleagues to AGLOCO™ and earn even more!

The guys behind this idea include several Stanford MBA’s and a few individuals who started AllAdvantage back in 1998, which gave over $100 million to its users before falling victim to the burst of the internet bubble. Today, the context is much more favorable: The sophistication of on-line commerce, the rapid emergence of communities, the wealth of advertising revenue sources, etc. Isn’t it time you got your share of the Internet?

Don’t wait any longer. This is a win-win opportunity, and you’ll make it even more profitable for yourself when you start referring friends and relatives before others get to them! Since I assume you learned about AGLOCO™ thanks to my website*, please don’t forget to add my referee ID when signing up: BBBB5535. Click here to sign up directly!

What I think about this? It doesn’t hurt to to install. I also tag this under Java. Why? Because it looks like their website uses LifeRay Portal. Actually, I am pretty sure they use Liferay Portal to power their website. I must say, they really did some good tweaking to the templates, cause it looks very much different then the default view.

ubuntu Received!

Aug 01, 2006 in Linux, Ubuntu, Free

I got my ubuntu CD which I requested previously. But I got a problem now, I do not have a computer available to test it out. There’s alot of reviews giving the thumbs up for this Debian-like OS - linux for human beings. My snap a picture of the package I got below using my mobile phone…. it’s only 0.3 megapixels… thus the quality of the picture. I have “invested” my digital camera at my friend’s 2 months work at Ohio, US. He will be dropping by Japan… hopefully I will get a good R.O.I (nice pictures. :D).

Jul 13, 2006 in PHP, Java, Open Source, Free, Subversion

EasyEclipse Previously in this post, I mention about using Eclipse with PHPEclipise plug-in. Well, good news to those who are interested but find it too difficult to install the plugin.

There are a number of distribution available, for example… Mobile Java, Desktop Java, LAMP environment, PHP and so on. Go check it out! They even have the Subversion plugin installed!

The PHP distribution have very similar plugins as what I am using now on my desktop… the difference is I took hours to set it up.

Yahoo! looking yummy

Jul 03, 2006 in Tips, Open Source, Free

I am a big fan of Google, I use Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Earth, Google Search, Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Talk, Google Desktop, Google Toolbar… and all those Google stuff. Somehow… I am addicted to Google’s tools. This is my “end-user” point of view.

As a web developer, I would prefer a company which provide free and open APIs… preferable allow commercial application as well. At the moment, I would think Yahoo! is on higher ground. I absolutely love Yahoo! Design Pattern Libary! If only Google have a similar resource. I guess I will look into other Yahoo! services more from now on.

Google Calendar smarter than it looks?

Jun 27, 2006 in Tips, Free

I received an email from my friend with the following details…

Subject: Interview @ XXX

Dear Blake,

We are pleased to invite you for an interview at XXX. Please
refer to the below for the details.

Date : 1 July 2006

Time : 10am

Venue : XXX Sdn Bhd
3rd Floor Superman Building,
No 1, Jalan Kripto,
47301 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia

--
Regards,
Luthur

I am using Gmail so…there’s a link on the upper half left side of the screen, “Add to Calendar”. This link does not seems to appear on all my emails, rather only emails with specific keywords… I suppose.

When I link on “Add to Calendar”, a popup appears and it automatically use the Email subject as the title, set the time to 10am and even set the “where” with the details in the venue part of the email!

I am guessing that Google’s Calendar got this smart text search or something… or… am I just kidding myself??

Check it out yourself by enabling Google’s Calendar.

How to kill extra time

Jun 17, 2006 in Tips, Funny, Fun, Free

In the world of football (aka soccer), you can kill time by playing possession football… where the footballers just pass the ball around. Seriously, there’s no sportmanship and it will really kill the glory of football. I know they just wanna “play safe”, but it kills to watch a game which ends like that.

On the other hand, if you are not a footballer. You could read manga (Japanese comics) online for FREE at http://www.anime-source.com and checkout other ways by clicking on categories like fun, funny, and tips.
