Hello,Ki dir?

More than 1 week already, “orange p vender partout”, but still, no response from the competitors, at least, nothing extraordinary in their business strategy from namely,

• Nomad
• Emtel
• MTML
• DCL

Except a small thing from Emtel, you can now epin ur mobile with only rs20, instead of rs25.

r for rabbit modem

I tried to access Nomad’s portal, but a big “Under Construction” Notice is there, dont know since when, lets hope its something really BIG for the few users still hanging out with their rabbit.c

d for dcl…

DCL Communications seems dormant since, euh, a long time, very long indeed!

goat for cabri l’inde…

As for MTML, its “Azu wireless broadband internet” is available since some weeks back but till now, there havent been any marketing done to attract potential customers, perhaps because they are not ready yet to handle many users and hence face the same problem which nomad faced with thousands(?) of ppl connected and the system breaking down day after day….really bad reputation they have here in Mauritius! lol

o for zorange…

Internet, Mobile, everything is being controlled by Orange, offering several offers ( mobile packs etc etc ) + innovations (new portal, magic numbers, etc etc) since its launch.

Will they be able to compete with the big multinational company orange?

Sure, the mauritian blog community and myself will be here to keep you updated about the events in our cyber island ( lol, cyber! )

After nearly 2years, i have revamped my web site, below are some screenshots…

I have also rewritten nearly all the text + added new stuff while removing other pages.
Any additional stuff that i may find interesting will be added in the Cool Stuff section, for example, simple articles showing you how to use any email add with msn messenger or how to compress a picture, the easiest way…

Innovations in this version:

• Use of lightbox script for image zooming
• minimal text as far as possible
• use of pictures to make the site more interesting…

Future works:

• use that banner (or another one )or a lighter version of the banner onto this blog
• use criticism from my friends and visitors to make the site better
• make a new intro banner, by replacing the existing one, dated 2 years back too!

Transferring pictures over the net can take lot of time if you have a slow connection or the picture/image is huge!

by compressing a picture, the size is reduced hence accelerates the transfer but at the cost of the quality.

You wont need any extra software, just your simple paint program!

Below are the Steps:

1. Print-Screen the Image/Picture
   Print Screen simply means taking a screenshot of the screen! lol
   How? Open the Picture/Image with your usual program and
   then Press the Print Screen key found at the top of your keyboard, just above your insert key(depends upon keyboard layout)
   By Pressing this key, a picture of the entire screen is taken.

   

   If You want to focus only on the window or program in the front end, press the following combination ( alt + Print Screen )

   

2. Paste In Paintbrush
   Now, open your simple paint brush program and do >>Edit >> Paste
   You can now resize the picture or cut out (crop) those parts you dont want.

   

3. Saving
   The final step, saving the new image file.
   Click File >> “Save as” and make sure to select “JPEG” from the drop down menu.

   

   Once saved, you can now send this new file to your contacts…
   For example, the picture being dealt with in this example was 235Kb and after doing a print screen, it is now 60Kb !

   Simple but Efficient !

Snakes is an update to the classic Snake game from Nokia. It is freely downloadable from the Nokia N-Gage website, and can be copied to another N-Gage handset via Bluetooth. A new version is now available as an embedded game on most N-series smartphones from Nokia.

During our “narien a faire” time, we take turns to play, trying to reach the next levels, and just for tonight, we finished 4 levels i think.

The Queue level:

IT’S A SHAME for the Mauritius Police Force!

During my lunch time today, i SPOTTED 2 police vehicles, both in PARKED ILLEGALLY, just in from of A POLICE STATION, that of Pop Henessy, situated some meters from KFC Cathedrale.

hehe, as usual, i didnt fear taking out my mobile to take photographs of the scene!

One of them was parked along a yellow double line while the other lied midway on the pavement!

See the pictures below…

And they dare to fine us if some cms of your vehicles lies on a yellow double line or on the pavement!
