Missing Plus Sign in Panasonic Fax Machine

You can substitute it with two zero (0) EXCEPT when sending fax to Singapore.

Due to some historical reason, you need to use 02 instead of 00.

For example if a Singapore fax number looks like 65-6578-9090

Outside Malaysia: dial 00-65-6578-9090
Inside Malaysia (using fixed line): dial 02-6578-9090

Cute :)

Holiday, Yes or No?

If I am not mistaken, tomorrow is federal day. Office located in KL will have a day off.

But, what about those businesses running on mobile office… hmm

1. Send reminder in time. We do it exactly 30 days each cycle.

2. Deactivation in time

3. Termination for the stubborn one

4. Clear the dispute and difference in expectation

5. They own you the money, so don’t feel bad to get it back

Some customers will sweet talk to you and make you feel that if you are harsh, you won’t get business from them in future. Remember, this is not true. If this is true, you do not want this customers because the moment they don’t pay, it is noise. It become a cost to get YOUR money back.

The Last Thing You Will Say to Google

I was following the case at WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center between Google and a domain name owner. This interesting case was finally over with Google wins the disputed domain names ‘googlenetbiz.com’!

Looks Google has included the email they have received from the previous domain name offer in their affidavit

I will sell my Domain

googlenetbiz.com

for $50000 Only,

Do you Buy it.

According to Google, this is “Thus, the Respondent has offered to sell the disputed domain name for “valuable consideration” in excess of his reasonable out-of pocket costs, which is prima facie evidence of bad faith. Although the Respondent has indeed offered to sell the disputed domain name to the Center and not to the Complainant itself or to a competitor of the Complainant, this fact is and of itself is not germane to the finding of bad faith. As noted above, the circumstances set out in paragraph 4(b) of the Policy, in particular, the subparagraph cited above are not exclusive. The fact that the Respondent has offered to sell the domain name (albeit to the Center and not to the Complainant or to a competitor of the Complainant) is evidence of bad faith.”

Before Launching New Service

We tend to launch service too easily when there is a new ideas. It is so easy to launch one than to manage, especially when you are dealing with renewal. I got couple of questions which you might want to ask yourself before you start one:

1. Is this service renewable or one-off

2. Will you start work without first payment or must with full payment?

3. In the case of dispute, what is the refund policy?

4. What is the short name of your service?

5. What is the setup instruction once you have received the payment?

6. Upon collection of renewal fee, what is the procedure to renew?

7. Work out the instructions for service deactivation and termination.

8. What about service REacticvation (payment received after deactivation)?

9. Grace period for each de/reactivation and termination mode?

10. Change plan of existing service?

Notification Email, Do You Really Care?

Knock three times

A notification email works like an alert to someone when something has been done. The next time you have implemented a notification email to your system, you’d probably want to read this:

1) For important action only such as payment received, renewal reminder, etc

2) Keep it short. Since this is repetitive, readers will take snap than reading through

3) If the occurrence of an action is high in a day, consider stop sending notification

4) Send out from noreply@xxxx.com. You don’t expect replies anyhow.

5) For extremely urgent case, add SMS features. After all, it is about alert.

The Parasite at Your Work Place

Human Parasites ~Intestinal Parasites~

They absent in most of the meeting (except when bosses are around)

They got promoted, but not you (you wondering why… isn’t that performance matter)

They never fail to dress up and impress (the keyword is sexynesssssssssss)

They talk a lot but do less (so-called important strategy blar.. blar…)

Company can still survive with their existents (Don’t ask me how)
