The 3rd WebmasterMalaysia Gathering – Update
July 8th, 2008 in Articles by kailoonWell, well, well… I know I am too late to post about this. Please forgive me. It is a bit busy here recently to setup my another site and preparing another free wordpress theme for you. As I mentioned before, I will attend the 3rd WebmasterMalaysia Gathering on 5th 2008. And, I did. This time I spend more time chit chat with friends, Eddie, Danny, Loh, RuhaniRabin, Adrian and also Mark. Some of them I met before but some of them I only talk to them online before.
The Event
It is a good day. First thing I heard since I reach there is “your boss is coming? is it?” Guess what is next? “I wish he don’t”. Haha… I think you know the reason better than me IF you are a local blogger who is using our service. Anyway, all of the webmasters look so aggresive. Most of them started to do social networking already. Well, networking is important for online business I might say.
After a while, the event start. Seriously, I don’t know how to write about what I heard that day. I totally can’t focus. I am so busy to chit chat with them. Please forgive me. But I did pay attention to LiewCF talk, Adrian and also Ikram Omar from Filament-Phase.
Especially Adrian, sharing about prevention of fraud on online payment. He brief us about the normal types of credit card payment and the basic methods to fight fraud online. I learn something that might help me to develop my own online business someday. Thanks!

I think I still manage to learn something from this gathering. But it is in another way. Somehow, it is always happy to have a gathering. If Exabytes really can make it as a monthly event. It will be interesting. Cheers!
thanks man :)

eat peanuts? Oh I remember.. peanuts maker are millionaires too … LOL
great that there’s a gathering like that. may join in future if time permits. hehe :)
Eddie:
I hope so :)
Jeremy:
Huh? Nope. I earn peanuts only :P
Hi KaiLoon,
Looking for permanent job?
I though you have make decent income online.
Good luck in your new venture.
Danny Foo,
Thanks for that input, sounds a good idea, but I don’t know many webdesigners around my area, so I thought it would be easier going to a main event which is organised and I would just turn up :D
But I like that idea of getting drunk :P
The pleasure was all mine. And I look forward to our next chit-chat. LOL!
Craig, you could try organizing a BarCamp within your area. Get a few fellows interested in a topic to sit down and openly discuss on certain topics or issues. :)
No need for sponsors but just money for beer. LOL!
We would be willing to test-out the idea of you working from home for a majority of the time, with perhaps only one or two visits to the office per week… Would that help…?
You would still need to come-in to meet with Nigel, who is the new guy now in charge of the design team (and my long-term freelancing-friend who originally got me into this business and formed Pixel Media with me – before NI-Limits)…
I don’t think I could ever organise such a thing, so I think I will scoot around to see if there are any in the Uk, if anyone hears of any, let me know ;)

Ni-Limits:
Wow, congrats. I am looking for a permanent job. The location is still a major concern for me so far.
Craig Farrall:
Oh, find a sponsor for the event. You are going to organize it by yourself then :) Since you don’t know there is any event at your place. Then, you just make one for them :)
What do you mean by finding a sponsor? because I would love to go to one of these gatherings, I feel I would learn so much.
Craig Farrall
Was good seeing you again and having the chance to catch-up…
We have interviews again this week on Thursday and have only one more seat available…
:-)
catzer:
Haha…sure can make it one day :) ya, monthly will be better. Let me talk to exabytes’ boss first :P
Craig Farrall:
Hi Craig, ya, I had great time there :) UK, so far, I don’t know :) Eh, you can try to find a sponsor for it.
