HTNet - A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement

I’ve been in the web hosting business for at least three years. HTNet Solutions currently hosts a number of web sites including:

• Joneh’s personal blog and JonehRC
• Kucau’s blog
• A Shopping Queen’s Blog

Also on board are Akademi Fantasia fan sites Toi Fan Club and StacyAF.com. This just shows that HTNet Solutions is a trusted hosting provider in the entertainment circles as well.

We also host Malaysia’s online dealer for Buffalo cookware. So, we’re pretty cool on the online business market segment too.

So what does this mean to you?

It’s been a while since I posted anything regarding life in general. Business has been decent and I have earned a few bucks here and there; sufficient enough to survive. It can get better and I foresee it will. I’ve yet to do any marketing, so my current batch of customers are purely referred via word of mouth.

So, let this be a reminder to you that for all the good things banners, brochures, mailing lists, AdSense and other “modern” promotion methods can provide, word of mouth marketing is far from dead! Nevertheless, it’s good to put in more effort in marketing and that’s precisely what I’ll be doing.

The current batch of jobs I had are relatively simple basic computer maintenance tasks… at least they are simple and basic for me. The truth is, quite a number of people and companies don’t have the manpower or expertise to perform fix these problems themselves. Hence, I find myself going into this market more and more. It’s not expected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

I haven’t been updating HTNet for weeks… got quite a bit of activity going on outside the blogging circle. Time sure passes quickly when you’re having fun.

Anyway, I doubt I can keep HTNet regularly updated for the next few weeks. So I guess I have to wish all my Muslim readers Happy Eid Mubarrak; Happy Aidilfitri; Selamat Hari Raya!

I’ll be heading to KL this Sunday and will spend a week there.

I was born 31 years ago on this date. Three decades on this earth… wow! I’ve met so many interesting people and done so many deeds that I’m very proud of.

To commemorate my 31st birthday, I’ve decided to list down 31 things that I believe in. I try to run my life as closely as I can to these 31 points. I’m sure there will be revisions to this list just as I’m sure there are things to be added to it.

But as it is, here are The 31 Things That I Believe Everyone Should Know.

For my entire working life, I have been building, maintaining and deploying IT solutions for other people. For a huge portion of that time, these people belong to the organizations employing me. I’ve gotten to know many, many wonderful people during this time and I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll continue meeting more wonderful people for decades to come.

Nevertheless, the time has come for me to face up to my weaknesses in close combat. It’s time I throw away the crutches that have helped me progress this far but have probably been limiting me from understanding and exploring my full potential.

I’ve made up my mind and decide to forever embed this moment for eternity in this blog post. I don’t know what’s lurking out there, but I sure as hell know that it will be one wicked adventure. But as the old saying goes; A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

I’ll be taking that first step towards my journey. A journey called entrepreneurship.
