b3 b0rn.. c0nf0rm, b3 si|3nt .. di3

just bcos.

i like the quirki-ness of the stuff offered.

now.. to reason with amir why i want $500 worth of junk. …. any ideas?

i had to click on the link which tells me to update my wp to wp2.7.

now i’ve got the itch to do the update. plus to also update the freshy theme to v2.0.

as if i didn’t have anything else planned for the weekend – work being one of them.

must.

be.

strong.

and not succumb to the temptation of tinkering.

should sleep.

a longgggggggg break.

no..

can that.. .. what i want is for it to be september and for me to have answered differently to a critical question then.

i just realised – how tedium is tiring. it’s not that i don’t have nothing to do. it’s that i have things to do that i don’t know which to start on first. that’s what happens when you join a project mid-way. and the role you take up is one that should be in place when the project is initiated.

it doesn’t help that i have an idea of what i’d like to achieve and i get the vision given (i’ve been b*tching about the same thing not being given due notice in other projects i was involved in)  – but am lacking the tools and time to really make it all happen at the level of quality that i want it to be. i hate doing half-baked attempts… as it reflects badly on me.

warghhhhhh… scratch that.

just give me the discipline to do what i intended to do this weekend so next week would be slightly sane-r.

ameeen.

btw: good thing that i only need to be stressed about work. and not abt my webhosting service being disrupted or any of the likes. i’ve been with exabytes ever since a colleague recommended them back in 2005.

back then the chief factor was it was dirt cheap (by my standards).. and i have not turned back since.. not just because of the price, but also due to the tonnes of promotions, activities and of course, the level of customer service demonstrated.

i’ve logged a few support tickets in  the wee hours of the night, expecting to get my answer in the morning – and to be pleasantly surprised when i saw the responses being given ranging between 5-30 minutes.

and exabytes keeps their subscribers posted on any patches available for the commonly used web applications – which definitely helps us look out for potential security loopholes in our webspace.

their  latest promo is now the switchhhh! programme. especially for those currently on other webhosting providers and who would like to be hosted on a better provider. at $199 / year – that makes it less than $20 / month… some of you would actually spend that much on lunch alone.

so give it a go. if you’re not satisfied within 100 days – i … no.. they guarantee your money back !

didn’t think i would have to revisit this topic since this was posted

but here we are.

exactly, one month down the road.

apparently, having an official receipt from the royal malaysian police issued via MyEG means nothing. nada!

amir went to rtd earlier today to renew his roadtax – and got rejected due to outstanding summonses. wtf!

to cut the story short – a few calls were made and an email from yours truly flew to the md of the company responsible. assurances that the issue should be resolved was given @ 3pm. amir was at rtd again @ 3:30pm and got rejected again. needless to say, both of us are quite miffed.

and yet the company representative still had the nerve to suggest that we utilise their online roadtax renewal services as a solution to the issue?!

saw in the business news today of competitors being introduced to the market that the company is in.

However, last week, the Government announced that MyEg might not be the sole provider of its electronic services any longer as it planned to allow three other companies to offer such services for higher efficiency and greater network coverage.

let’s hope the three don’t end up more of the same!

update 03/12/08 – issue resolved and amir able to renew his road tax just 1-day ahead of the expiry. i will now take a break on venting abt MyEG
