Have you ever wanted to use a real cool domain name. Instead of just using http://fendyrocks.blogspot.com/ you can actually use the http://www.fendyrocks.com/. Isn’t that just sounding much more awe-inspiring?

Fascinatingly, you also can configure the ‘looking good’ domain name forwarded to your existing blogging website and also back to your home PC simultaneously. When I say PC at home, that means you gotta have an internet connection ready too. Be it dial-up or ADSL, Maxis or Streamyx, wireless or wired. And, it does not really cost you a bomb. I can assure you, by at the end of the procedure, you’d only spent RM35 (less than USD$10) to make it happen.

This article is divided into two parts. In initial part, I will portray the steps of how to register a Domain Name with a local company. And the subsequent part will be the configuration of pointing the domain name back to home PC or to another existing website.

Please bear with me as this article will be fairly long.

Back in November 2006, my wife and I had moved into our new house and certainly as a Software Programmer myself, I’m gonna need to have Internet connection at home.

Reading lots of complaints made about how TMnet Streamyx handles their new applications have making me rather worried in getting my Streamyx. While most of the TMNet users did get their Streamyx at acceptable time of completion, some might just experienced the contrary.

One case, my brother in Seremban had waited 6 months just to have the broadband available at his house even though his neighbours had it since ages. In another situation, a friend of mine staying in Kota Damansara had waited 1 year and half to get Streamyx when his uncle house located just few hundred meters away had already have broadband at home. Absurd?

I will describe the methods of how I’ve gotten my Streamyx in the fastest of time.

Few months ago, I was looking for a good water filter for my house.

After reading all the information I can actually find on Malaysian websites, I was horribly confused on which one should I get. So, I narrowed down the selection to 3 types of water filters:

• Waterco
• Blondal Hydroguard
• UE-Tec

Why did I choose the latter? I will share the experience behind it.
