Recently, I’ve been seeing more and more writers holding virtual events. Unlike traditional book launches or book signings, which only people local to the venue can attend, these events are held online where anyone, anywhere in the world can attend. It’s cheaper and, I assume, easier for the writer too, as there are no travel…

Blogging on Jeejeebhoy.ca with ScribeFire
I’m trying to simplify my blogging so I can spend more time writing instead of logging in, surfing around, navigating the blogging site, copying and pasting all over the place, clicking here, there, and everywhere, never mind waiting for blogger or WordPress to login. In the past, I’d tried ScribeFire umpteen times on my own…
Going Ubuntu: A New Article Series on Squidoo
It’s mostly sunny, the radio is playing, and I’m writing about Ubuntu, a human-friendly version of Linux, an alternative operating system to Windows. I have grown increasingly frustrated with Windows, and I’m not alone as I’ve seen people call it Windoze (because you have to wait so long for anything to get done as the…
Mini Book Expo Claim, Malaysian Health Journalist, and Housekeeping News
Awhile ago, I wrote about submitting Lifeliner to Mini Book Expo. I submitted it in the hopes of getting more exposure for my book, but not really thinking that as a self-published author I had much of a chance of having Lifeliner claimed. When I received an e-mail asking me if I’d ship a copy…
Freedom At Last! Meet My Other Online Self!

Site Down
My website was down for almost 3 hours early this evening. Not my fault! I swear!! I couldn’t believe it when I couldn’t load it. I thought my browser was playing up, but nope. I was the first of my web hosting service’s customers to notice a problem. The very helpful customer service rep said…
On Authors Blogs
Authors Blogs is a listing of those who write and those who blog about writing. Their motto is “It’s hard to write. It’s hard to blog. If you do both, you belong here.” They believe I do as I’ve just been approved! They list in alphabetical order by the first word of your name.
StumbleUpon Pimps My Hits
Somebody StumbledUpon one of my posts for the second time, and this time, today, I decided to make a greater effort to figure out how to add the StumbleUpon widget to my website. Suddenly, after I did that, one person then another added my joining-the-chapters-community post to their book pages on StumbleUpon. The number of…
