It is no secret that I have plans to monetize this blog. The new theme now support Google Adsense. The traffic to this blog might not be outstanding but there is an increasing trend, which is good.

I’ve been monetizing my other blog (no longer in operation). I might not make as much as all those so called probloggers, but I got an extra USD100++ (That’s RM300++) every 3 or 4 months or so. I’m not complaining. Geek lifestyle is expensive.
