Actually I only knows since few days ago when logged in into my dreamhost control panel. Dreamhost increase their hosting space to 500 GB and 5 TB bandwidth to celebrate their 10 years of hosting business anniversary. I only found single price plan for their hosting instead of three ones with as low as 5.95/month (for 10 years payment in advance.
As someone left comment in my previous comment that this mega giga space is just gimmick or other review said the plan is overselling, but it is still worth to play around with this space, you can add domains as well as MySQL database as many as you want. If you want, you can go ahead to use their service. So far, I myself found no problem with this hosting. When I wrote this post, Dreamhost give me 261880.000 MB of space and 5104 GB of bandwidth and I only use very small portion of them

If you want to upgrade your mobile phone with your line, maybe you can check out the price from your provider in their website. You do not need to queue or go down to the shop to check the price directly. In Singapore, the official price of handphone is updated in weekly basis.
Here is the address of each mobile line provider, most of the prices are with 2-year contract. You may find the price from the same provider for the same brand and type is different, depend on the contract price plan.
- Singtel,
- StarHUB
- M1
For non contract price, maybe you can visit to HardwareZone website. Some retailers put their price in this website. Maybe not so accurate to find which is the cheapest one because only two or three retailers, but I think still useful for reference.
If you have any more comprehensive information from other website, please do not hesitate to leave your information in comment section below.

Today I received email from my ex-office colleague about OneSIM Indosat from Starhub. He quoted an article from Hardwarezone about this matter. The official information from Starhub Singapore you can find in this page.
With The OneSIM Indosat, you can now stay contactable on both your StarHub Mobile number and an Indonesia mobile number from Indosat with just one mobile phone regardless of whether you are in Singapore or Indonesia.
They offer better pricing scheme for calling Singapore from Indonesia compared with the normal one without OneSIM. Almost all the prices cut by 20% but with additional SGD 5 for service fee. I think it is good news for those Starhub subscribers who traveling to Indonesia frequently. I currently subscribed to Starhub as a Hubber but I didn’t use the Starhub line but my wife. Unfortunately, she is a Telkomsel’s subscriber and it is “very difficult” to switch to other GSM providers, including Indosat. Even the price is cut by 20%, she still prefer to use VoIP 01017 for Telkom / Telkomsel that much cheaper to call me in Singapore. So we still keep to use OneSIM for OneNumber .

From now on, I think I need to really carefully thinking about branding of (new) website. I do not want someone remember the title of my website but not the domain name, and finally someone else grab the title to be a domain name . So, I secured techgadgetzone.com for this purpose. I just bought techgadgetzone.com domain name from Godaddy.com. If you cannot remember the domain name of this blog (kukuh.com), you can type its title instead, TechGadgetZone with dotcom tld extension. I’m using permanent redirect from techgadgetzone.com to kukuh.com.
Why I don’t just put all the contents into the new domain ? The reason is due to google and other search engines already indexed this website since three years ago, now main page of kukuh.com already get Google Pagerank PR4. I feel difficult to repeat the success of copying pagerank to the new domain.
Securing a domain name, especially under dot com is important nowadays. Domain names are very limited resources. That is why many people said that internet especially a good domain name (and unique contents inside) as virtual real estate. Even though there is a lot of other extensions beside .com,but I feel .com is the best one especially for branding or commercial purposes where your targets are international market. But you still can go for other top level domain if you want, either generic or country code ones.

SE K810i my third Sony Ericsson cellphone. T100 is my first SE and followed by T610. This phone is not new anymore, but who care ? I bought yesterday to replace my Motorola v3x by extending my line contract with Singtel. At first place, actually I want to buy either Nokia N95 or Dopod 838 pro. But there will be successor of N95, N95 8B which has better battery, larger capacity and larger screen, so probably I will wait for it (wait only maybe ). Regarding Dopod 838pro, even I want it, it is not suitable for me right now (the features I like are wi fi, side-sliding QWERTY keyboard and powered by WM5. But currently I need very handy phone, so I choose this candy bar type.
What I love so much from K810i is the Cyber-shot camera function. 3.2 Mega pixel is enough to get a good snap. It has built in-xenon flash with auto focus and shoot 9 pictures in 1 second. I plan to use the camera function more often when going out together my wife and my baby, so I do not need to bring a pocket camera anymore.
I am a fan of SD card, so due to this boy is Sony, I need to use their proprietary Memory Card, Memory Stick Micro(TM). I hate to insert additional memory card writer to my computer which is has SD card slot. This is one I do not like from this camera. I do not like to transfer using USB data cable also. Luckily, Bluetooth function is available.
I prefer Sony Ericsson graphic interface than my previous V3x, but the keypad is filled with very small rounded butons causing a bit difficult to type a message. This camera doesn’t support sending large file through email. It will resize the resolution to smaller one, not like my V3x.
The other feature is average. Battery life is similar with my previous T610. Regarding the sound, I haven’t really check the quality, coz I do not really like to listen music especially using earphone so I was not check it out.
Above are my personal biased comment of Sony Ericsson after 1 day usage. I will try to write about this phone in more detail in the future post.
