What a Nuisance!!!

Saturday, January 29th, 2005

Well its weekend, another end of the week, and i am currently in Kuala Lumpur, currently i am just browsing trying to register a .info domain and its been given me a lot of headache saying domain cant be registered this time something like that. i got no idea what the reason is. i might try again after this. anywayz my hosting company might shift domain, because of a copycat. now we offer to buy off the domain and the company says its domain its not for sale and the CEO gave an interesting alternative, which we might consider, for now. if it doesnt flow according to benefit i guess we would just have to migrate to a new domain, and trademark it.

My coding is rusted really, because it took me like 5 hours just to trying to use a special module pattern of sorting database based on rights etc, this i could do before in a short period of time infact half the time, i guess i need to really start coding on a regular basis, so as not to loose the grip totally, it really sucks.trust me, when you think you know something and all of a sudden you are blank. if you get what i am trying to say :( . well i have to do the database structure this weekend, and also the structure of my companies future projects etc. well enough of blabberings i goto run. good day. AND before i forget. HAPPY EID EL KABIR to all Muslims outhere :D

New week Begins

Monday, January 24th, 2005

well actually, there is no classes tommorrow according to the academic calendar, there is this Thaipusam celebration thingy and well its an india celebration which i sincerely dont have an idea what it is all about. anywayz i have decided to do the coding i talked about the other time for my client because it is too costly to outsource, besides i feel more comfortable supporting my own scripts.

Actually one of my clients, that i did some intranet apps for a long time ago is having problems with accountability in his firm. Their present accounting system sucks and i have to look into it, make a feasibility and system analysis on ROI etc.
Now i am doing most of the research on the net on the best approach to take, because their system is quiet complicated. i need people to lend me a hand, if you can give support drop me a mail, and i would compensate you accordingly.

My hosting servers. i am still contemplating on changing servers !!. not again hahahaha not exactly change. the current clients would still have and use the same server. but i am actually getting an additional maybe VPS dedicated to expand our horizons.

Lolz what a guy, ah yeah i actually convinced my mum to hook me up to a deal that would bring me atleast 500% – 700% profit in a duration of 1 – 3 months depending on how fast i want my cash back. the broker better dont fuck up or i am going to sue his ass. hahaha i wish. maybe i sue both him and my mom. :))
crazy guy han. well i am, but still she is skeptical of letting me in talking about my studies as usual and all those crappy stuff my parents usually always blabber whenever i talk about business.

well thats all for now i have to say ADIOS or it should be Jumpa Lagi in malay. good day blog.

Information Systems

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

well today hahha didnt actually studied much but the paper was beautiful. i could actually solved all the questions with high accuracy, i couldnt believe myself. well it was like
what is informations systems

that easy? hahaha not that easy, because they was a lot of hypotetical questions and you are supposed to analyse and write something just like i did. hahahha. well i am a good listener in class though ;). well now yeah still waiting for the quotation from my outsource alliance for a system i am designing before i decide to do it myself or to outsource it. well yeah i normally analyse that to cut cost and time. well thats all for now.

Its been a Long time.

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

well hello blog how are you doing? hahah i am crazy right. well i guess i am.
now back to what i really came here to do.

well first of all what has happened since thursday well i saw my client on friday, i had to setup thier mailing system as in their mail server. make sure it was working properly and then had a treated lunch by the CEO, and also ran over the system i am supposed to design for them in the accounting department.

Now back to the seminar i attended on monday. the seminar was good and their concept and strategies is awesome. but the system sucks in my world, as in i dont find it financially feasible to operate. its infact not profitable at all. so i decided to get back my refund, and quit it.

And yeah i had to remove one of the banners i display before because their income is unreasonable. now there is Naijahost. hahaha one of the business i run with my partners. well its really worth trying out our hosting services. besides you can actually earn from our referral services.

Our referral services cost only 9000 naira annual subscription fee. upon subscriptions all you do is reffer anybody to us, and upon purchase of any of our service you automatically get 20% of the cost of the service. so you are virtually earning without doing nothing. and if u have many friends you can become rich by just reffering them . hahahhaa. very true. and besides we give you 30 days money back guarantee. if you are not satisfied with our services within the first 30 days. you get your money back.

well enough of marketing. i suck at it though :P . hehehe i prefer employing people to do it. what i do is designing the marketing system or whatever that has to do with designing. hehehe. i am fine with theories but too lazy to apply.hahah crap. well yeah i am currently building up an empire earning system somehow MLM related but just a stolen part of the hybrid system.well enough for now i do have a test tommorrow. and i have studied only 80% . i am in a big mess. hahaha bye for now..

Updates on Blackout

Friday, January 14th, 2005

I guess the blackout was not the whole malaysia. hahah. below is the news report

PETALING JAYA: The failure of a switchgear in the Kapar power station brought four states and Putrajaya and parts of Kuala Lumpur to a standstill in a five-hour power blackout in the southern region of the peninsula.

Tens of thousands of motorists were caught in a snarl and millions of people had to have their lunch either in candlelight or out in the open when power failed at 12.16pm.

This is the fourth major power failure to hit the country since 1985.

Policemen were mobilised at traffic light junctions to ease the massive lunchtime congestion.

Firemen were also called to rescue those who were stuck in lifts.

In the Klang Valley, 12,000 people were affected when the LRT and Komuter train services came to a standstill. Some of them were trapped in tunnels but were quickly evacuated.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was also one of those affected when the National Biodiversity Council meeting in Malacca was disrupted by the blackout, demanded an explanation from Tenaga Nasional Bhd.

“I hope TNB will make sure there will be no more blackouts,” he told reporters.

The power company blamed the outage on a busbar failure at 12.16pm, in the switchyard area of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah power station in Kapar.

According to TNB deputy president and deputy chief executive officer Datuk Abdul Hadi Mohd Deros, the situation could have been worse, had they not carried out load shedding and limited the outage.

“When the busbar failure occurred, there was a loss of 1,700MW from the grid and we controlled a nationwide power failure by islanding the grid into four zones – north, east, central and south.

“The power failure in the central grid affected the transmission tripping of two substations, KL (east) and Pudu Ulu, which supplied electricity to major areas in the city.

“The southern states were affected because we had to load shed the loss of energy from the grid. If we did not isolate the transmission of energy through the islanding system, the power interruption would have also affected the northern and eastern states,” he said at a press conference in TNB’s head office at Jalan Bangsar.

He, however, apologised to its one million affected consumers for the incident.

Power supply to parts of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya was restored by 2pm and by 2.30pm in Malacca.

Abdul Hadi said that power supply to Negri Sembilan and Johor were restored at 2.50pm.

When asked whether the blackout was a result of sabotage by employees dissatisfied with no assurance of bonus and increments, he said preliminary investigations indicated that this was not so.

“The next board meeting will discuss the issues raised by the unions,” he added.

Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik, who also attended the biodiversity meeting in Malacca, rushed to Kuala Lumpur to attend a briefing by TNB officials.

He later told reporters that TNB would submit a full report on the power failure to him as soon as possible.

Kluang in Johor was the last area to get back its power supply at 5pm

hum by the way, i gtg now. have a client to meet to get more info on the intranet system i am currently desigining. bye

Blackout in Malaysia

Thursday, January 13th, 2005

the question is how many places where affected?
the answer: i dont have an idea on what the hec is going on. currently i know of cyberjaya and shah alam. cyberjaya mainly because thats where i am currently located and shah alam because i called a client of mine and he said they were affected too.

Now the cause? who knows? well glad to say critical systems in my school have backups for power therefore we were not really affected. but still the air-conditions were offline.

Hot? not really for now . but as as the clock ticks it is getting humid and hot. lolz what a world of technology, how would it have been without backup? i cannot imagine how critical it would be if all critical systems didnt have backups. well for example the library security system where you have to pass thru the scans. Oh i should not forget the most important of all our lecture rooms and halls where all lectures are offered using multimedia systems (projectors with pcs) all my lectures are in powepoint slides. so that means no more lectures yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaa. i wish. well its all good. all the so called systems luckily have backups for the power supply. i wish they didnt :D anywayz i would keep you updated.

yeah and i am starving currently because i couldnt withdraw my money through the atm. i could only buy chocolate bread with the change i had in my wallet. the question is why i dont keep a lot of money in my wallet? the answer is i am currently practising financial planning through restrains i intentioanally impose on myself. now back to the bank.what the hec is wrong with the bank. they didnt have power backups for their atms. dem. i have to get my passbook for manual withdrawal. back to the old fashion way. well someday we would be back to the old fashion way dont u think??. hehehe.

    Expert: Keep children from mobiles. Why Only Children?

    Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

    Whats wrong with the world?? why are they so crazy of only protecting the young ones. what about us??

    LONDON, England—Children under the age of 8 should not be given mobile phones by their parents, the head of an official safety study in Britain has warned.

    William Stewart, chairman of Britain’s National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), said Tuesday he believed that mobiles might pose a health risk, although this was not yet proven.

    Recent reports from Europe raised concern over possible links between mobile use and tumors in the ear, and any health risk—if it exists—is certain to be greater for children than for adults, he said.

    “When you come to giving mobile phones to a 3- to 8-year-old, that can’t possibly be right,” Stewart told BBC radio.

    “I believe that parents have a responsibility to their children not simply to throw a mobile phone at children and say ‘There you go.’


    “If there are risks—and we think there may be risks—then the people who are going to be most affected are children, and the younger the child, the greater the danger.”


    Excuse me?? what the hec do they mean??

    Stewart was speaking ahead of Tuesday’s publication of a report by the NRPB following up an inconclusive study in 2000 by the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, which he also chaired.

    The 2000 report recommended a “precautionary” approach to mobiles, urging adults to keep conversations short—and to discourage children from using handsets.

    Since then, the NRPB has carried out an expert review of research into the health effects of mobiles and of the base stations and masts that relay signals between phones.

    Stewart said that no firm conclusion had been reached on the possible impact of mobile phone technology on the human body.

    No firm conclusion???? we can see here that the phone companies are protecting the ir market through people like Stewart though he might not work for them nor even talk on behalf of them. but there must be something wrong somewhere dont you think. i mean all the so called radiation it emmits people still say no firm conclusion has been reached??? what the hec?????

    Beign Lazy Key to Long LIFE??

    Humanity !

    how can beign lazy key to long life?
    Being lazy key to a long life

    LONDON: It is the news that all sloths have been waiting for. Scientists in Germany have found that too much exercise is bad for you and that doing less could lengthen your life.

    In a new book called The Joy of Laziness: How to slow down and live longer, Dr Peter Axt, a retired professor of health science at Fulda University near Frankfurt, and his daughter, Dr Michaela Axt-Gadermann, a general practitioner, say that everybody has a limited amount of “life energy” and that the speed with which it is consumed determines their life span.

    They argue that high-energy activities such as pounding the treadmill at the gym, accelerate the ageing process and makes the body more susceptible to illness.

    “A more relaxed way of life is important for your health,” said Dr Axt-Gadermann. “If you lead a stressful life and exercise excessively, your body produces hormones which lead to high blood pressure and can damage your heart and arteries.”

    Dr Axt-Gadermann said one key difference between the lazy and those who exercise was that the more active body produces more “free radicals” – unstable oxygen molecules that are believed to speed the ageing process.

    She added: “Laziness is also important for a healthy immune system because special immune-cells are stronger in times of relaxation than stress. During relaxation or “down time”, your metabolism is less active, which means the body produces fewer free radicals.

    “If you do a lot of sport or are permanently stressed, then your body will produce more free radicals and that is one reason why your life could be shortened.”

    Dr Axt-Gadermann, 37, and her 65-year-old father, who are both reformed long-distance runners, also say that laughing is healthier than running.

    “When you laugh, your body produces the hormone serotonin which makes you feel happy and relaxed,” said Dr Axt-Gadermann.

    The book also says that laziness is good for the brain. It says that exercise and stress can cause the body to produce the hormone cortisol, which can damage brain cells and lead to memory loss and premature senility.

    To illustrate the theory that laziness equals longevity, The Joy of Laziness also suggests that early risers are more prone to stress.

    “People who would rather laze in a hammock instead of running a marathon, have a better chance of living into old age.”

    The medical establishment, however, is sceptical. Dr Vivienne Nathanson, the head of science and ethics at the British Medical Association, said that moderate exercise should not be set aside in favour of lazing around. – The Sunday Telegraph

    this world is full of tooo much bullshit and wastage of time. i mean the researchers have too much funds that they dont have anything better to do? how can this be a line of research .and the most funny thing is many of such researches are funded by organisations or even sometimes government parastals. what a waste. all i have to say to this researchers is GET A LIFE.
