Happy New Year everyone! How is your Christmas/New Year holidays? For me it is a matter of staying at home, playing with kids, enjoying the family time and not doing anything (including blogging and updating my websites). Life will hopefully get back to normal tomorrow when I head back to work, and I will hopefully [...]

Big thanks to Meg T at dLook.com.au who created a list of top 100 Australian blogs. Ranking is determined with a combination of Technorati + Alexa ranks. Due to the readership of Oz Bargain Blog (bargain hunters and cheap skates :) I did not expect this blog would rank well. I thought only the nerds [...]

Yan tagged me with the recent Internet craze that was started by Jeff Pulver about a month ago. I have actually been tagged before, and has written 5 things people probably didn’t know about me. However it was on my other blog (which is web hosting related, btw). So I guess I will need to come [...]

The first day of 2007 is almost over. The blogosphere over the last two days has been filled with posts reviewing 2006 and welcoming 2007.

Sorry I haven’t been blogging here for a while. Some virus is going around in Sydney I think as my whole family were sick (and are still sick), and I just could not get into the blogging mood because of all these headaches. Quite a lot of people around me (work, church, etc) are coughing [...]

I loved the Zazz! guys. They are unique. The copy is humorous. They sell geeky stuff. Most importantly, the price is cheap — only if you catch it before they sold out. It also got me a bad habit of sleeping a few minutes after the mid-night so I can see what’s on sale. So [...]

Bargain Blog now has a new domain under a new hosting provider. Woohoo! New Domain First of all, I think it is no longer appropriate to attach Bargain Blog to FOCUSer.net, which hosts individual blogsites for FOCUS members. Thus I bought a name — ozbargainblog.com — from NameCheap (which is my current favourite registrar). Here we are, [...]
