I’m a little pissed. Well, the 30 days trial period on my webhosting provider expired. They sent me an email which I replied, asking for payment details and if there are any special prices for paying for 1 year. No news from them. Next day, I sent another email. Still no reply.

In their first mail to me, it was stated that my files will be purged on the 3rd day. It did not happen so I assumed they were busy with something else but will get back to me some time later. But on the 4th day when I found out my site went down, it felt like I had been ignored and am just-another-unimportant-customer. So I paid their website a visit, searching for other emails to contact. Found a contact form which I promptly filled up with my details and made a rather negative comment which ended with “I no longer have interest in signing up with a webhost that does not respond to their customer’s email.”

I guess my email was lost in cyberspace, cos they replied apologetically last night and provided me links to their price plan page, and the signup page which did not answer my original questions. It doesn’t seem sincere enough so I guess I’ll pass and continue my hunt for another reliable webhost provider.

I was prepared to sign up with them because they provided 500MB of storage, Unlimited data transfers, a good PHP configuration file, a good-enough control panel for me to manage my website’s configurations. There were a few minor problems which I believe, we can iron out in time. But heck, if they can’t manage customer service well, I wouldn’t take the risk.

Still a bit pissed. But thank goodness I decided to back up my files when they did not reply to my first email.

I guess it’s not fun when the jokes on you. lol. I do have the person’s IP address logged on every comment made. But it’s not worth going through all the trouble finding the culprit. Things like these are okae as long as no life is lost.

No harm done Donn. [:)]

TIME!!! WHERE ART THOU???
Time flies too fast that by the time I noticed, I’m far behind in my race against it.

The past weekend went by rather fast. I watched Spiderman 2 on Saturday and enjoyed every minute of it, not just the impressive fight scenes between Spiderman and Doctor Octopus. The movie has parts that I could relate to and kept me thinking about how I should deal with my own life as of now. Towards the end of the show, I am more interested in Doc Ock as a villian rather than Spiderman. They have definitely chosen the right person, Alfred Molina to act as him. Anyways, do watch it if you have the time.

And here’s some photos of my room and the new machine.

Same old room.


My favourite mug and a tray from MOS Burger!

“Movie companies” or whatever have reported losses in billions because of internet piracy. But, let’s say, does a portion of that sum hold true?

If I feel this movie is interesting, but not worth my money, I will definitely not pay to watch it in the cinema. If it’s available for free, I may or may not spend a few hours or even days to download it for free. If I ever download, the movie producers lose my $8.50. But if I don’t, I won’t be paying to watch it and they still don’t get my $8.50.

To stir up my life a little, I have made a request to my boss for a bit of advance pay! Now I’m ready to get myself a better machine to takeover the internet! (as if possible).

Intensive research has been done to make sure my investment will be worthwhile. Calculations have been made to ensure I have enough resources to last myself till end of July. Responsibilities and consequences have been considered carefully before making this decision. So yea! I’m ready to pamper myself.

While roaming around DeviantArt, I came across the gallery of ArtGerm. And all I can say is I’m very, very impressed. His ability to produce different styles of artwork using the same software makes me jealous. Be sure to check him out! It’s good timing for me to discover his work. It’s arousing my artistic senses to make a new cover image for my blog for a new month.
