  I am not sure how many have read TheStar yesterday. Starting today, Microsoft will put an annoying pop-up on your screen if you are not using a genuine copy of Microsoft.

• EFNTD Game

  After reading ShaolinTiger’s Post in his blog, I took some shot at this game. If you Eat Full Nothing To Do, you can try it. Good for brain exercise. I find that I score better with FireFox browser than IE browser. Not sure why.

  After many shots at it, my best time is 26.655s. Tips, move to the left first.

  Game URL: http://members.iinet.net.au/~pontipak/redsquare.html

  How to play: Hold your left mouse button on the red square, move without bumping the blue boxes and the black wall.

  My Score:

  

  Have Fun! Don’t play while your boss is around. :good:

  Everyone is into Photoshop, let me share a very useful tip that my hubby used, to do the picture above. This is the easiest way to select a person or an item in the picture. You can throw away the magnetic lasso after learning this.

• SPAM

  Don’t you hate it? Now blogs are hit by SPAM. I wonder why people will go all the way out to create junks that people do not read. It is like creating more garbage. At the end of the day, who benefit from it? The software company that produce anti spam ware. It is so annoying.

  My blogs just attracted SPAM a few weeks back. Initially it was 1 or 2 in a week, slowly increasing to 5 per day. Last week, it was worst, it went up to 10 per day. I decided to put a stop to it.

  I upgraded my blog software, WordPress to 1.5.2 (not sure now whether it is the latest) and install a third party anti-spam ware called SpamKarma2 by DrDave.
  (Source: http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/).

  It has been catching spam up to 50 per day and allowed genuine comments to go through. SpamKarma2 only work for WordPress 1.5.1 and above. If you have an old version, I suggest you upgrade. For this upgrade, it only takes 5 minutes to do it. Remember to backup before changing.

  I am not sure whether there is any anti spam ware for blogspot, anyone out there know? I have lots of friends who are using blogspot who wants to throw spam to the garbage bin. If you know of any, please comment.

  I love Photoshop as it helps me to edit photos or any images. It can help to do a digital makeup on the photo. It can beautify a picture. It is not hard to learn the basic of this tool but if you want to advance to the next level, do get books. My hubby just got a few books on it, mostly tips & tricks. He is into photography. Hey look at what he did to a photo.

  Now you see it, now you don’t. All the slime from the nose is gone.

  By the way, the top logo is done using Photoshop too. I just don’t have time to play around else I can create more fun things. Like this one that I did years ago:
