Astro’s New Channels

The 7 new channels promised by Astro went live today, in conjunction with Malaysia’s National Day celebration. =)

Mom love the Wa! TV, and I love the Animax. =)

Here’s what I got from a press release:

Astro will be adding some 50 new channels(Vagabond: Serious? =D) about 8 weeks after Measat 3 is launched which will be sometime between late November and late January next year. Additionally, the introduction of the 7 new channels was made possible by the deployment of new compression technology at the Cyberjaya facility, said Rohana.

“In appreciation of our customers’ patronage, these channels will be available to all our subscribers at no additional cost until 28 February 2007.” Rohana added.

Astro Ceria - a Bahasa Malaysia language children’s channel featuring exciting programming and interactive shows.
Astro ARUNA - a drama channel featuring sinetrons and telenovelas (with Bahasa Malaysia subtitles).

Gmail Unleashed

Today, I’ll write about Gmail, a free email service provided by Google.

Gmail does more than what an email does, a lot more. It’s known for it’s abundant storage of more than 2.7GB(and still growing) and advance interface.

Gmail is still in it’s BETA version, although two years had passed since it’s initial release on April 1, 2004. And hence a Gmail account can only be obtain thru invitations.

Many of my friends claimed that Gmail is slow as it takes quite a lot of time to do the “Loading…” and they rejected it soon after that, and return to the wrap of Hotmail.

What many don’t know about this is that Gmail makes intensive use of AJAX, which allow users to have a way more dynamic surfing experience. Once the slightly time consuming “Loading…” time passed, the browsing of emails would be very fast, as the pages will no longer need to be refresh.

Note: “Loading…” above indicated the loading time taken by Gmail to render the AJAX, it’s something like the startup of your computer, or an application on your computer.

For those who don’t like the AJAX, you can always change the rendering of your Gmail A/C into the standard HTML format, so it will loads like the usual email, eg. Hotmail.

Enough with the basics about Gmail, let’s proceed to the tools and addons available to unleash the full possibilities of Gmail.

So, what’s so cool about Gmail and how’re you going to make the most out of it? =)

Easy Expand

Just installed one of the plugin which I had been looking for long - Easy Expand.

It’s a simple plugin which uses Javascript to tweak the More tag of Wordpress into an expandable one.

Posts will be loaded, but hide behind the tag. Users can click on the tag to expand and collapse the post freely, and it’s very effective on long posts! =) Viola!
