My So Called Life

The penangbloggers.uni.cc site has been down for a week now. This is mainly because of the www.uni.cc free domain service. Somehow, my sweetsour.uni.cc is still functioning however, the penangbloggers.uni.cc is not operational on the other hand. I suspect that the www.uni.cc is down and thus all domain hosted there are not operational. My sweetsour.uni.cc on the other hand is hosted at my web host and thus it was not affected. Anyway, since penangbloggers.uni.cc are down, and there is no indication if they were down for a brief period of time or they are lingkup totally? I have setup another domain from the dot tk free service. The downside of this host is that they force a pop-up banner everytime anyone access the site. I will check the www.uni.cc service periodically and will update once it is up. In the mean time, penanbloggers can be access through www.penangbloggers.tk I have just set it up and thus, it would not be activated for another few more hours.

A new year, certainly a whole new set of feat to accomplish. In the past, I have never believed in any New Year Resolution. This year, though I still dont believe in one, I do have a few things that I would like to accomplish. Though some of them may be far fetch, it is still a nice thing to do or have... Here goes... Walk from Penang - Taiping (and maybe down to KL or M'cca if time permits) Make RM50K from investment Revamp my photoblog template Take a Train from Penang - London Setup Wireless Digital Media for my home enabling the TV & Sound System to be able to stream Music & Movies from my PC wirelessly.

This morning, the Radio 4 guys were driving for some money for the Malaysian Tsunami Victims to help them to get back to their daily lives. One of the caller that pledge RM200 made a good point when he talk about the upcoming new year celebration. Every year there are fireworks and huge events to welcome the new year. He was suggesting that the nation grief for our lost and the money to the fireworks are channeled to the victims. I thought that was a wonderful idea, then again, up to this stage, the fireworks would have already been purchased, and I am not sure if the local government who would have paid for the fireworks could do anything about it. In Penang, the new year is celebrated mainly in the esplanade and Gurney Drive. Since tsunami alert are given till end of the week, will the celebration this year still go on? By the way Siti Nurhaliza is to sing at Gurney Drive on new year eve... I wonder who could make the decision about the celebration?

Grill, the one word that cross every house owner's mind, a deterrent, a fashion and a device that makes our home, a prison. All the houses in my Taman already have Grills installed in them. Every window opportunity that a thief could squeeze thorough are implanted by steel bars. Personally, I despise steel bars, they make the home to look more like a prison. But it is something that everyone can go without. The bars are meant to be a deterrent, and could never stop a persistent robber. However, when a home does not have any bars, it automatically becomes an easy target compared to the neighbors. I was recommended a new window that has steel bars built into the frame and they look pretty stylish, however, these windows cost a bomb to install. I am still at a delima on weather to install or not... I guess it is better to be safe and be sorry.. or in this case.. be broken into...

Testing out a tool that I stumple upon, it is called w.bloggar and it is able to connect to multiple blogs with on just one interface. It has a bunch of text formating feature which is great. I am still playing with some of the features... pretty cool... oh, the current version v3.03 does not support MSN Spaces...

Recently, there were a few bloggers who threw some ideas around on making video for PPS, and I was rather intrigue by the idea. I took a few snapshots of the resident Bloggers site and compile them with Photo Story 3. I could not decide on the music to include, so I just put in what I have been listening to for the past month. Anyway, it is a lame attempt, I would like to see what kind of response does this generate. PPS Promo Video 3Meg .wmv file

I remember once Jeff Probst, the host of survivor took the vote from the camp and then take a jet ski across the ocean to the Studio to announce the vote.... This time, the stunt 'tidak kurang dramaticnya'... He took a 'parang' and chop his way through a jungle from night till day to a plane, and then parashute down to a bike and ride to the studio and announce the winner. Everyone were already at the studio and the last two contestant were already waiting. The last two were all clean and neat and surprisingly, gain some weight, much weight actually...
