Just a quick review on vPost = if you are not Singapore customer, forget about it. Base Charge of US20.40 per package, insanely high. Not sure when the rules changed, no more consolidation for non Singaporean.Bought myself a replacement router for UniFi, here comes the problem. Where do I fond my unifi PPPoE login password?
Below a quick guide which I found after Google it.
First you need to enable Telnet if you are using the Windows 7.
Next Telnet into the D-Link Router supplies by TM. If you don’t have the Super Admin (aka operator) password try followings.
Username : operator
Password : telekom
Username : operator
Password : h566UniFi
Username : operator
Password : <your Unifi username in reverse order>
BTW for those who don’t know how to use Telnet. Open a Command Prompt windows. Type Telnet 192.168.1.1 (the D-Link router IP). Once successful your will be prompt to enter user id and password.
Enter this command once you login.

Update: please the comments for this post, a reader had bad experience about using service offer by this site.
Bump into this site which provide shopping service for china. With this you can buy from China site like TaoBao and no need to worried about the seller not sending items outside China.
Initial checking the rate are pretty good. For example to ship to Malaysia using China Postal Service Air Parcel (below 2kg) first 100g you only need to pay RMB14, additional 100g at RMB9. i.e. 500g I need to pay RMB50 + RMB8 for custom declaration fees. Payment can be done using PayPal, Credit Card and TT.
Will try to buy something and check out their services.
Need to do some drawing / diagram but don’t have Microsoft Visio? Don’t worried you can use this cloud application which brought to you by AutoDesk.
Very handy especially if you are online and don’t have Visio with you. It also support offline mode.
Someone posted a question in my comment and wanted to find out the difference in amount when using the two method I mention in my previous post.
in my previous article title: Transfer or add money to AliPay (支付宝) outside China. Below a quick comparison shown potential saving using second method.
Disclamer: Below are based on my best effort and knowledge, I shall hold no responsibilities for any error and mistake.
Case Studies: Trnasfer RMB5,000 to 支付宝 www.alipay.com from Malaysia.
Method 1 – Simple but expensive
Method 2 – More steps but cheaper (you need to be verified alipay member 认证用户)
What to know what is Conficker? This two part video presented by F-Secure is very useful and information. IMHO worth you time - it if you are interested to know more about Conficker. ;-)
Interesting site and services, upload your PDF file to their web site and and edit it for free. Did a quick check and the features provided are pretty neat. It allow you to perform followings to your PDF files.
With this free tools you can;
I important features which I think missing are the text correcting features. Hope they add this features when they go live. Give it a try at link below;

Recently I decided to combine my Internet Email with my office Microsoft Exchange Email. This work beautifully except now I lost the features of auto bcc all email I sent out to my GMail account. This is available in Thunderbird not not available in Outlook 2007. I wish Microsoft can have this in the Rules. Anyhow below is how I setup my Multi Account some VBA to perform the Auto BCC.
In Outlook 2007. Click Tools –> Settings the use the wizard to add a new Account. For better management I create a new pst (Outlook Data File) to store email for this particular account. Just click Change Folder button to assign all email from the second account to this pst file. IMO cleaner and neater.
After you had setup the second email account and tested working correctly it’s time to add in the VBA Code to auto BCC. You may refer to this link on how to do it. Based on the sample code I did some changes to only bcc my email for specific account. Below is the modified version.
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim objRecip As Recipient
Dim strMsg As String
Dim res As Integer
Dim strBcc As String
On Error Resume Next
If Item.SendUsingAccount = "<Outlook EMail Account Setting Name>" Then
strBcc = "someone@example.com"
Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add(strBcc)
objRecip.Type = olBCC
If Not objRecip.Resolve Then
strMsg = "Could not resolve the Bcc recipient. " & _
"Do you want still to send the message?"
res = MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, _
"Could Not Resolve Bcc Recipient")
If res = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
Set objRecip = Nothing
End If
End Sub
To get rid of the Security message you need to sign the code using personal certificate. Refer to this link.
Lastly you may asked why I need to bcc my email. Well I used gmail to backup my company email so in order to maintain a full correspondence record all email reply on my PC (aka Outlook 2007) need to stored a copy in gmail.

Another beta products from Microsoft Office Labs, basically this is a web site which allow user record their own tutorial video and upload to shared with others.

Below a quick review on Community Clip v1; After you had installed the application, it start and stay in the system tray. It only provide 3 recording option as shown below.
After recording ended, what you can do was Save, Upload or Email. No post recording process allowed.
Today my WSS not working and it complain that the Client Certificate was not valid. After checked and confirm the client certificate I used was the correct one, which one the only possible was the cert are revoked. Without access to the server which issue the cert, I opt for alternative way of solving this. After some searching below is what can be done to disable the checking for Revoked Certificate for your IIS.
This is a registry hack, used it at your own risk.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
HTTP\Parameters\SslBindingInfo\0.0.0.0:443
DefaultSslCertCheckMode = 1
