Today I received my first purchase from Deal Extreme Hong Kong.
It was a total success!
When a friend told my about the DealExtreme site, I first thought it would be a fake.
He recomended it so much and prices there was so low I decide to give it a try. What could I lose?

Package from DealExtreme

Sony M2 Memory - As Received

M2 Sony Memory - Angle View

Sony M2 Memory - CloseUp

DCU 60 Data Cable for Sony Ericsson

USB Data Cable - Closer Look
First item I added to my cart was an USB cable for Sony Ericsson Z530i for just $3,56, it costs 10 times that price here in Brazil.
Later I thinked better and added another cable for my wife (nobody wants an annoyed wife).
Keeped looking and founded 2Gb M2 compatible memory (for Sony phones ) for $8,37 , added 2 of these to my cart and paid my bill.
At this moment I was thinking for myself , “are these guys serious? Am I losing money and time?”. Any way my order was only four items and very inexpensive.
And if this site is for real I would benefit a lot since I have seen 1Gb memory for 20 times that value in local stores.
I paid with Paypal , really easy, safe , and fast. If you still don’t have an account get one now, it’s free!
When finished my purchase, my long wait started, it took 3 weeks.
Finally I received my products by mail and the wait was paid off by the excelent quality products I received and the ridiculous prices I paid:
The sent USB cables was exactly as expected. The memory wasn’t…
… it was very better.
I did not recieve compatible memory as I paid for. Instead I got original Sony Branded M2 Memory (thanks DealExtreme).
All items came carefully packaged.
And I paid nothing for shipment.
Any doubts post a comment.
Happy shopping!

Today I asked myself why the icon beside my comments was so ugly, when other users had beautiful ones.
I right clicked on them and saw they came from gravatar.com (both nice and ugly)…

ias atrás, após muito trabalho consegui passar este blog (antes no Blogger) para WordPress.
O processo de 5 minutos ficou mais complicado para mim por estar usando um servidor Microsoft. Porém (horas depois e com algumas limitações) consegui finalizar a instalação.
Hoje entrei no painel de administração e me encontrei com que devo fazer um upgrade para a nova versão. AAAAAAAAA!
Fiz minha investigação e postei aqui os resultados para que vocês que publicam WORDPRESS EM PORTUGUES não perder tempo.
- A versão 2.6.3 Português não esta disponível no momento deste post.
- A versão 2.6.3 traz uma importante atualização de segurança e deve ser instalada urgente!
- Quem tem sua versão em português pode fazer o seguinte para atualizar sem perder a tradução.
(Eu fiz e esta funcionando)
Passo 1:
Fazam download destes 2 arquivos e coloquem no seu site nas respectivas pastas.
Passo 2:
Pronto.
Se por algum motivo quiser fazer o Download do wordpress completo o endereço é http://wordpress.org/download/ (Em inglês)
Mais isto é desnecessário se você tiver ja a versão 2.6.2 já que o único que mudou são os arquivos acima indicados.
