ICCL comic is back online!

After a long hiatus, my favorite online comic (written by apz) is back online! It came back online somewhere around February 2006, I just realise it today!

ICCL is geeky comic about computer technician, and it’s story focuses around Simon Freeman and Deirdre. I like ICCL because I feel like the character Simon close to myself as both of us prefered to be slackers (I mean, voluntarily unemployed). It’s an entertaining comic. Actually, the comic inspires me to switch to Debian GNU/Linux after I fail to use Fedora Core “properly”.

Some of my searches interrupted by Google Server Error on April 17

Well, ain’t this just cute. My searches was interrupted by Google Server error 502 around 6:15pm MYT (that’s 10:15pm GMT). No real damage was done, I just have to switch my search engine to Yahoo for my research.

p/s : Compared to Google.com dns failure last year that leads unsuspecting people worldwide to a domain parking service, this incident was minor to me, it is just the case of switching engine.

What a boring weekend, and my blog has moved to Interunix

Yeah, It’s a boring weekend for me with nothing much to do. My hens are laying eggs like crazy, like 6-10 eggs per-day (I’ve 10 hens). It becomes my chore to pick their eggs up as I do not wish to breed more chickens as I already have 12 adult chickens plus 16 chicks more in the hen house.

There’s always heavy rain complete with thunder & lightning during the late afternoon in Alor Star, preventing me to go out for a fresh air or to get online, this because my house/pc aren’t shielded by surge protectors. I hate to think what would the lightning do to my pc when it strikes home, so I better sacrifies recreational time rather than taking chances

By the way my website has moved to another provider again, this time with Interunix. Now I’ve more space, more bandwidth and less users, eliminating the bottleneck of limited bandwidth. I hope that you can access my website without any interruptions from now on. Interunix service and customer support is excellent, I do get important announcements via sms-es from them time-to-time.

p/s : I might come up with a spin-off blog, since I’ve spend a lot of time on developing applications for mobile phone/handheld device. The spin-off might feature stuffs/mistakes/pitfalls that I’ve made during my time spent on programming those devices.

Working for Yourself Makes You Happier

I totally agree with this post, working solely for yourself does makes you more creative and happier :). Trust me, I work for myself and all I can say is, nothing can compare with the flexibility and the level of enjoyment against working for some big corporate entity (unless it’s yours).

But I don’t claim that it will work for you too, some people do enjoy working in cubicles or in factories instead of their own garage or bedroom.

Mypapit GNU/Linux blog is one year old!

blog birthday
Yes, you read it right. My blog is one year old, the first entry on this blog was recorded at April 13, 2005. Truthfully, I never thought it last one year during the first week I wrote that very first entry.

Let’s see if this blog can hold on for another year :D
