Purpose of My Blog, About Me

January 25th, 2012 by Edwin No comments »

Few months ago, I have written a page to describe the purpose of my blog. It may seem quite recent, though, page has been published on November 2009. Sometime, I just wonder what have I been doing that took me so long to refine the About.Me page.

And then, I made an effort to re-write About.Me page by including over 500 words from the original post. I have no better adverbs to describe how short my earlier page was, but to put it as pathetically brief and pointless. It never disappoints me then.

The second attempt was better in a sense that I have written a clearer overview of the purpose of my blog. However, I would grade it as just satisfactory.

About

Why is it so? Over 500 words may give sufficient detail to read, but the span is still too lenghty.

I should have shorten is by half its length, if better, reduced to 50 words. Make it succinct and to the point.

Sound challenging. The original was too short with about 100 words, now it has at least 500 words. So from the existing 500 words it will summarize to target within 50 words? Perhaps, I have high expectation and want to have continuous improvements.

I will re-write it. All the content preserved, be it good or bad. I have pasted the entire post here so that everyone can read.

I have been surfing the internet since 1990. Back then, the highest speed was 56K using a dial-up modem. And that’s the best technology and connection speed available in any developing Asia countries. As of today, highest speed attainable is very much faster and affordable.

Am I trying to sell some product online? The answer is ‘No’. I’m not promoting any subscription of fiber optic cable connection, or the latest technology gadget, such as iPad, Andriod, PC tablets, etc…

Neither am I sharing another lengthy history of what I have done for the past 2 decades, nor a biography of myself. So please read on the About page. I shall get this straight to the point.

Additional notes:

CyperWin” is a 8-letters word , having 3 syllabus in pronunciation. It is also a word that I have created to define myself.

The first 2 syllabus, “Cyper“, is a combination of 2 words that can be easily found in the dictionary.

Cyper“, is a pretext combine by 2 root words ‘Cyber’ and ‘Hyper’. My reference below is from Longman Dictionary.

  • Cyber‘ : “from relating to computers, especially to messages and information on the Internet”
  • Hyper” : “extremely excited or nervous about something”

With the above meaning, I’m trying derive the meaning of “Cyper” as “Any activities relating to computers and internet, which are evolving in a fast pace environment “.

Win” is regard as a countable suffix to the former. Literally, it mean victory or leading. It is also the second syllable of my first name.

How To Select Proxy Address

January 17th, 2012 by Edwin No comments »

There are endless numbers of proxy address available as free. I often use to login facebook while traveling in Vietnam.  Before we proceed to the free proxy list, I will have to share with you the basic of how to select proxy address.

Proxy Server, Basic concept

Proxy Address is a numeric label assigned as an intermediary gate to the desired website u be visiting. This label also called proxy server used for settings described here.

Choosing the proxy address can be determine by 3 basic filtering components. Namely, proxy type, proxy port, and proxy country.

Below technically describe the terms.

    1. Proxy Type ~
      • The level of anonymity for user. There are:-
        • Non-anonymous proxy server. For casual surfing of webpages. Example: Google search.
        • Anonymous proxy server. With certain degree of anonymity for web surfing. Example: Facebook Login.
        • Highly Anonymous proxy. Highly secured and for elite user. Example: Yahoo mail login.
    2. Proxy Port ~
      • Act as a listening channel to consolidate all internet request. Both proxy port and proxy address work in pairs, relying on each other to function or connect properly.
      • Most common proxy port is 8080, supporting web address with protocol beginning with “http://www…” and “https://www…”. The latter protocol is SSL; short for Secured Sockets Layer, a protocol for encrypting information over the Internet.
    3. Proxy Country ~
      • Location of proxy server. For example: If your physical location is in Vietnam, you might one to choose a proxy address located in Germany or United States. Virtually, you are also identify as one surfing from that chosen location. No concern if you don’t have any particular preference.
      • However, the security of Facebook Login will detect your login as an unidentified user of different country. Do not panic, just login and answer all the security questions by Facebook.

Here is another simple way of explaining above terms.

Let say you are an online seller.  You have to deliver the successfully sold item to your buyer by the chosen courier service. Or you could be a wholeseller delivering branded goods to supplier (intermediary gate) who later distribute (serve) to his customers living in smaller towns. Product could metaphorically refer to sending your internet requests as a package.

Before delivering your product to supplier’s address (Proxy Address), you need to know:-

  1. the province or country (Proxy Country) of the buyer’s residency you are sending to, and
  2. the shipping port (Proxy Port), airport, seaport or post office to consolidate all incoming goods.
  3. the degree of securing the product (Proxy Type). E.g. special packing, registered-article or just a simple plain mail.

Once you understand these 3 basic requirements, you may proceed to select your own proxy address that works for Facebook Login.

Here is the link for recommended free proxy listings: http://spys.ru/en/.

Try filtering the 3 components to search for the desired proxy address usable in Facebook Login.
