Stuff to do with the site that I care about.

Death in the Family

The most ancient of excuses, death in the fam­ily. Often used to eli­cit sym­pathy or grudging agree­ment to unfin­ished pro­jects and sub­stand­ard res­ults. I am invok­ing this clause because my grand­father did die. Offi­cially, it was of old age. I would have pre­ferred a more detailed report of the death cer­ti­fic­ate, like heart fail­ure as

Backend Server Upgraded

If you were try­ing to visit this site today, you may have encountered some errors in con­nec­tion. That is because I was upgrad­ing the backend server from Lenny to Squeeze. There will be some prob­lems over the next few days, but I will try to resolve them as quickly as possible.

A Related Chinese New Year Message

It’s nice to be back in a life where I can once again enjoy the arts and cul­ture, plot world lib­er­a­tion, and enjoy the com­pany of tea while pon­ti­fic­at­ing the reas­ons why I still choose to reject all forms of romantic rela­tion­ships des­pite that nag­ging feel­ing brought about by bio­lo­gical com­pul­sions.

Wikileaks/Mastercard

Couldn’t get down to blog­ging for the past few days as the mobile broad­band con­nec­tion at my cur­rent medium-term abode is some­how at the very edge of the DiGi bor­der of Internet-land. When I do find myself in such a land, I also find myself sep­ar­ated from the nearest source of elec­tri­city, thus lim­it­ing my

Changes in Comment Format

Due to the over­whelm­ing num­ber of test­ing of the com­ment thread­ing fea­ture in the past few days, I have decided to change the threaded com­ment set­tings which were pre­vi­ously unlim­ited, to just one. Dis­qus handles the threaded com­ments in a man­ner that stead­ily reduces the dis­play size of the com­ment box and the pub­lished com­ments the

Traffic Spike.

When I wrote about the arrival of Mak­cik Haj­jah Sitt Al-Wuzara to the blo­go­sphere, I had no idea my vis­it­ors would increase by 10 times the num­ber of vis­it­ors at its most busiest. It appears her site is mak­ing the rounds at the Malay­sian Insider, malay­siakini, free malay­sia today, and Utusan. Its amaz­ing that nearly

Welcome Trolls

Tro­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lol! It took a while, but I finally man­aged to snag myself some good-old fash­ioned trolls who write like 3-year-olds. Check out their scrawls here, here and here. I don’t intend to change the site mod­er­a­tion set­tings yet, but I may do so if the trolls are only keen on repeat­ing them­selves word-for-word.
