I have noticed that one web site was defaced by hackers. Its stu.org.my. It was left defaced for many couple of days. Here is a screen shot

I am on the moves and of late, web check in is a in thing for traveller. If I being using a windows OS on my laptop, I would have a big headache borrowing printers to print my boarding pass. I’m using Ubuntu Jaunty and it has made my day.  Just took the USB connector of any printer, plug in and start printing in seconds. Imy friend however who is a fanatic fan of MS windows Vista is having a hell time printing. He even boot to Windows 7 RC to print but it doesn’t seems to jive with the printer. What I did was plug in any printer, an icon pop up on the panel and I can start printing. As simple as that. Way to go Linux!

Been wondering what has happened to the old uruguay’s project I was involved in before…. And the Web OS project oso…..

Yesterday (7 Jan 2008) at approximately  4:00pm Malaysian Time, The DNS server of TM Net has lost its uplink and therefore served the catchall DNS entries of all known web site with a timeout of 7 days in cache to its default DNS Not found page causing a lot of confusions and panic to websites owners all over the nation. Though no official news from TM Net has been released on this matter, things has got slightly out of hand at the press room when the press web site seems to be offline all over the nation. Their web site www.streamyx.com.my is still affected from certain connection in Kuching and a lot of .gov.my site is still not accessible from the town of Tawau. This problem will persist until the DNS cache has timed out or the modem been switched off.

There were nothing official from TM regarding the problem which could have been caused by a human error.

Tracing the root of it, I believed when Michael Lai was still in TM, I created a stir in TM by asking TM to look at repackaging of TM product to suite users’ need instead of creating product and choke it down consumers’ throat. The result is that I’ve heard that TM started a new department headed by Ghazali Omar (so I heard) called “Product Marketing”.

I am currently hunting this group of genius idiots called Product Marketing of TM and wanting to let them know how dinosaur they are right now.

I am a bit worried that we, as a nation of IT is loosing its stance. For instance, in Malaysia, You pay for 1 Mbps speed, but in actual fact, you are only getting 350K like what I am experiencing right now. Our packages has yet to evolve since 2004 which still stuck a below 8mbps. In China, Broadband there means that the speed is 100mbps and not our little thing called 8mbps which is not available everywhere… I am pondering……….
