No one can deny that KFC is the bomb, and I have many fond memories of the KFC Bucket back in the hay days when I lived with my parents (big family = big KFC bucket). But what happens when you really REALLY need a KFC bucket and you’re stuck at the Cricket with no KFC in sight? Well you do what Mick does, fly it in with a helicopter! Watch how he does it here!

When people get excited over a Tweet, you know there is something wrong with the world…
There are people out there who are super excited by a Tweet that links to itself. In theory, its not humanly possible to do it, and hence the sudden interest and “hype” over it. It was so hyped that it got on the homepage of Digg making this world just that little more weird.

Australian SEO Rankings Dropped on Google
Ok, I haven’t blogged for awhile due to a busy lifestyle which is keeping me very far away from my website, as well as Twitter for thoes who follow me. Anyways, I was using www.seo-browser.com to check out how my website looks on a text browser, and to my surprise I fould hundreds of spamy links on the footer of my homepage. Atfirst I thought www.seo-browser.com was just broken as I would never add random links to spam websites. But it turns outI got hacked!

Twitter is DEAD! Its cool, I can chill. Hurry up. (well.. down temporarily kinda)

My old posts are still getting traffic
Don’t you love it when your old posts still get heaps of traffic even though its like written a few years ago. I guess certain topics never get old. I wrote a post about how to restart your Apple iPod mainly for my own reference but it seems that it has moved up on Google rankings with more and more people finding the post useful.

I have finally embraced Twitter – Follow me!
Ok, I never thought I’d say this but Twitter is actually pretty cool. At first I had no idea how I could use it and hence I decided to make it a private diary of what I do during the day. However when I started following people, I realised that it could actually be a very powerful social networking tool. Anyways, no point for me to rant about the greatness of Twitter since there are heaps of posts out there that does that already. So for thoes who has Twitter already, Follow me @sicnarftea, for thoes who don’t, join twitter and check it out, follow everyone you know and use…

Another dating scam email from Poland!
Well, its another day and another dating scam email. Recently been receiving alot more dating scam emails than before, must be that people are getting more lonely online and are falling victim to blatantly obviously scams. Not to burst your bubble but if a model like girl starts emailing you out of no where with very VERY poor english and the intention to “make babies” with you, then its probably a scam. I fully aware that some may think that the above could possibly be for real, however, as the old saying goes “If its too good to be true, then its probably a scam”.

Finally, my very own delicious bookmark page
Been awhile since my last blog entry, but this is mainly due to the fact that I’ve started using Twitter and many other social media sites, including the very sexy Delicious.com. Its also really cool how they have finally decided that the previous domain name was way too hard to remember. Regardless, you can check out all my bookmarks just incase you guys have nothing to do. This collection will obviously grow over time so you can check back later if you can’t find anything interesting yet.

Scraper Duplicate Content Sites – Do they affect your search rankings?
In short no, the worse that could happen is that you get frustrated another website has stolen your work and repurposed it as their own.

Great new way to make money online – TNX.net
Well, been surfing the net mindlessly as I always do and I came across an interesting website which allows webmasters to sell links. I know you’re thinking that you’ve been there done that, however this advertising network has a twist, it allows publishers to sell links on all pages of their website independently (which is completely different to sitewide links).
