Here’s a very nice search engine which is 100% dedicated to icons only. I stumbled upon this icon search engine, iconfinder, when I was “stumbling” websites using StumbleUpon. I decided to share it with you guys here.

What is iconfinder ?

Iconfinder is a search engine dedicated to search download able icons uploaded by icon designers.

All the icons are in PNG-format. The benefit of PNG-images is the alpha-channel, meaning that pixels can be transparent. Do not copy-paste icons into eg. Photoshop, since icons will loose their alpha-channel information. Instead, use the download-link to save icons locally.

Designers can submit their icons by sending an email to martin.leblanc@gmail.com via attachment in compressed format. Icons sent should be strictly PNG format in these sizes (pixel) - 12 x 12, 16 x 16, 22 x 22, 32 x 32, 48 x 48, 64 x 64 or 128 x 128.

This afternoon Crispnetworks’ web hosting database was down for about an hour starting at around 2pm. After discovering that my Crispnetworks was down, I quickly contact my web hosting provider Shijiru through online support to resolve the problem.

The problem was solved in 3 hours. It is an acceptable time frame as I’m not as active as previously blogging at Crispnetworks due to my work. But previous time was take off my blog. Hopefully any similar problem can be resolved within an hour.

Anyway, thanks for the job done to team Shinjiru. :smile:

Currently, the best deal I’ve seen is the hosting services by Exabytes. Which web hosting provider are you using? Hope to get some ideas when I need to purchase new hosting for my other blogs.

Come every 31st August every year, it is the day when all Malaysian come together to celebrate their nation’s Independence Day - some people call it National Day. This year Malaysia and her people will again celebrate her birthday - 50th birthday to be exact.

Malaysia has come a long way to come to where she is now - a modern nation full of vibrant and colourful culture and people. From a nation that depends so much on agriculture to a developing country full of promise in many areas of the economy, I’m proud of Malaysia’s achievements over the years.

Want to know more about Malaysia? You can read about the History of Malaysia here.

You, I’m calling out to all of you Malaysian bloggers. Let us show some love to our nation and display our patriotism on our blogs. You can get the 50th Malaysia National Day Logo here.

Once you’ve taken the logo’s link and display the logo on your blog, do ping or comment here and I’ll post your name and blog’s link.

I’ve been super busy for the past two weeks with events and projects follow up. Not forgetting that I have to make appointments to meet up with my clients. It was only after the Singapore Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry’s 11th Infocomm Commerce Conference that I can finally relax and have time to spare to update Crispnetworks. It’s a long blogging hiatus for me.

Well, that aside, I had a good chat with Ms Jenny How over msn on Tuesday about blogging plans. We chatted about what kind of plans we can have for our blogs in terms of the kind of topics to update everyday of a week. Here’s our conversation (please bare with our Malaysian English):
