Pay Dot Com Payment System

Posted by CJCM

Due to the difficulty of joining ClickBank, I have been waiting for something like this for long time….and today must be a lucky day for a lot of people. Checkout Pay Dot Com as described by Colbert in his blog.

PayDotCom is the new paypal-based alternative to ClickBank. As an affiliate you can promote the products listed at PayDotCom just like you can at ClickBank – it’s simply a new affiliate network that you can join for free and earn money through product sales. The only major difference is that you dont have to wait for a check to arrive in the mail… they payout via PayPal.

As a merchant, PayDotCom has a lot of features that make it a more appealing option than ClickBank. For starters, your merchant account is free (unlike ClickBank which charges a $49.95 activation fee).

And again, you dont have to wait for a check – in fact, when one of your products sells (either directly, or through one of your affiliates) the money goes directly into your PayPal or Stormpay account. There’s no waiting period at all.

Another perk is that you can sell an unlimited number of products through your PayDotCom account. With ClickBank you can only sell one product per account (unless you purchase EasyClickMate software to get around this) – which means you pay $49.95 to set up each product on ClickBank. PayDotCom does have a one time $29 activation fee for multiple products, but that one fee will allow you to set up an unlimited number of products.

PayDotCom can also help you set up an affiliate program and all payments go to your Paypal account. Cool.

Problogger’s Group Writing Project

Posted by CJCM

I had commented on one of the posting, The Business Boxing Match:: Success vs. Failure by Wendy Piersall, the author of eMoms at Home blog. The blog is one of my favourite blogs that I frequently read. On top of that I am also a reguar visitor to ProBlogger authored by Darren Rowse. Both blogs are listed in my Blogroll.

Instead of replying to my comment in her blog, Wendy had the courtesy of personally thanking me via the email and at the same time asked whether I had participated in the ProBlogger group writing project that week. I didnt know about the project so I quickly went to over ProBlogger and found out more about the group writng project.

I made an instant decision to join and spend the next hour writing on How To Accept Mistakes and Dont Blame Others.

I had so much fun being part of the project, got to know a few other bloggers as a results of that and very happy with the publicity generated by just writing an article and submit it to the project.

Wendy…thank you for your email. I will definitely join the future group writing project run by ProBlogger.

For those who doesnt know about the project, you can read about it here.

I also list all the submissions here….all 343 submissions….great job Darren. Enjoy….

How To Accept Mistakes and Dont Blame Others

Posted by CJCM

Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes done by us can be caused by us ourselves or by third parties. Often times, we are easily led by our own self esteem and self defence to blame others around us for the mistakes we have committed.

In general, the thought of we are responsible for our own mistakes cannot be comprehended by most of us. This is normal for majority of human being, after all who wants to be blamed for any mistake, regardless of whether it is our or someone else’s mistakes?

However, having someone to blame for our mistakes does not solve the problem by itself and more often than not, it would only create more problem especially in the relationship with that person or everyone else around us.

The only solution to this is to find way for us to accept sole responsibility for our mistakes, learn from the incident, forgive ourselves and get on with lives, without severing any relationship you may already have with any third party. But how to achieve this?

As an example, let say you did not achieve something you want to have, because, from your analysis, someone else had done something he or she shouldnt have done in the first place. Instead of blaming he or she for that, you perform a root cause analysis trying to find the cause of your failure. Sure enough you will get to the point where that someone was the cause of the whole mistake. However, don’t just stop there. Go back one step further and try to think what you could have done to avoid that person from committing his mistakes causing you to lose your goal. Once you find all the possibilities of what you could have done to avoid that person’s mistakes, now you have someone else to blame….yourself…for not doing what you could have done.

You may ask whats the point if we blame ourselves for any mistakes we go through? There are many advantages of accepting mistakes, blame ourselves for it and get on with our lives.

1. Blaming ourselves for our failures avoids possible relationship-related problems with the third party which could only creates more problem making you prone to commit more mistakes.
2. We can train ourselves at finding the root-causes of every problem causing our mistakes, evaluate every possible actions we could have done, thereby presenting ourselves a chance to avoid similar problems in the future.
3. It is easier to forgive ourselves than to forgive others.

I can go on and on and on to list down all the advantages of blaming ourselves but I hope the three reasons above would give you some hints of what I am driving at.

So whatever bad things happen to you, always find out what you could have done to avoid it, blame yourselves for not doing it, forgive yourselves, and get on with lives.

I hope you enjoy this posting, and if you did not it was not your fault, I could have done much better by many other means but I didn’t, so this is my mistake. I will try better in my other posting.

Learning Computer Programming at Bendigo College

Posted by CJCM

I never thought programming is so much fun. All the while, I thought facing the computer screen day-in day-out would be very boring. That’s the main reason I thought I didnt like computer course. Circumstances however changed my perception about computing.

At Bendigo College of Advanced Education, I started my first year of studying Computing with much curiosity due to my initial thought about computers. Slowly, I began to like what I thought I hated most. Computer programming had proven to be very interesting for me. I started with BASIC programming language and then progress further with Pascal.

Pascal is a very interesting programming language to learn. I was made to understand Pascal is particularly suitable for introducing students to programming due to its English-like syntax.

I still remember the first major project I did in my computer programming subject using Pascal. We were asked to write a computer program to handle sales of tickets for a stadium. The program was supposed to be installed at ticket vending machines at the stadium.

If I remember correctly, there were some conditions that we had to handle in the system such as the different pricing for different sections of the stadium. The program also had to handle different pricing for adult and children. The most interesting part was how to handle the total pricing, receive cash from the customers, calculates how much to refund the balance and calculate what were the type and number of currency denominations to dispense from the vending machines when giving out the balance.

I was so hooked-up to completing the assignment that I spent every single free slot between lectures in the computer lab. My friends commented that I looked like zombie for spending long hours in the lab.

The best part of that assignment was that I was among the first students to complete the project well before date line. And the program worked perfectly producing correct results. I had so much fun testing the system just to see how the system calculates what type of currency denomination the machine should give when giving out change.

Learning Pascal programming language was really one of the greatest things I had ever experienced in my computing study.

Did you learn Pascal? What is your favourite programming language? Let us know your experience.
