Bloggers had censored the government feedback

Many bloggers had censored the government comments which posted to the blogger’s website. The government is trying to post the comments to correct the inaccurate statement and false allegations about the government, which appear on blogger site.

Most public read the articles and believe it. Bloggers who criticize the government should be brave enough to post responses from the government.

Just to recall, the Internet served a painful lesson for the BN due to the worst result of election. The web and SMS allowed blogger to spread their voice over the internet to criticize the government.

This must be fair giving the government to explain the issues to the public and preventing from hating the government if these criticisms are none stop.

Free Barcode Label Program

I am interested on any program which is FREE and EASY to design barcode and print on the label. I am using Toshiba TEC-452 barcode printer. It is very old and has been bought for more than 5 years. I had installed the driver and connected the printer to a PC successfully. The driver is still available to be downloaded from the manufacture of the website. I had performed some print test and working fine.

My colleague had introduced me a program called IDAutomation Free Barcode Label Design Application.



Usage: Mainly design for barcode, label printing and mail merge.
Printer: Able to connect and print at most kind of barcode printer, deskjet, bubblejet and laser printer. Please use a good and high quality printing for ease of barcode reader to read the barcode.
Data set: Data can be link to Access, Excel, CSV, text and its build in data file.



Support Bar Code Type: Code 39 and Extended Code 39 available for free. You can purchase the standard version which support other popular types including UPC, EAN, Code 128, Interleave 2, or 5 and Postnet.



The program is free for Code 39 and extended Code 39. The result of usage is very good, simple and easy to learn and use.
