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.

Yesterday, I did a major movement on my blog by moving to the root of crispnetworks.com instead of crispnetworks.com/blog/.

Therefore, I went to all the social bookmarking sites to update my blog information. As for Technorati, I need to claim my blog again with the new URL. Something weird happen to Technorati’s authority ranking.

I found a weird thing on my Technorati profile. While I was looking for a Technorati badget to be put on here, I saw a weird thing. Under my photo, it says that I’m a member since Dec 31 1969! Did I see it wrongly? Certain I didn’t because I’ve taken a screenshot to prove it.

Did you see that in your Technorati profile?
