Its time to move to another hosting

mypapit — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:24:37 +0000

I hate to admit this, but i think the time has come for me to move to another hosting provider as I felt the current provider is counter productive to my writing with frequent downtime and DNS failures.

I’ll be transferring the host to Dreamhost, which I’ve been using since 2005 to host my other websites. Hopefully with this move I’ll be able to write frequently as before.

Becareful with what you write in your blog. Be Responsible

mypapit — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:16:23 +0000

Recent events surrounding blogging community has caught my attention, in which a blogger was arrested in Singapore due to his racist remarks on his blog.

This is not the first case someone being arrested for writing irresponsible things in their website or blog. We had our share of bloggers which has been slapped with court action against them due to their writings.

For years, internet become more than a medium to communicate free speech. However blatantly using the freedom of the internet is not what we should do. We all have to abide by a set of rules and code of ethics when we write, especially when we are addressing the public.

Making undesirable remarks, spreading lies and misinformation should be avoided at all cost because it has negative impact to the community, as innocent lives might be ruined by what we write.

Similarly, those who has a website (or a blog) should learn from the hobby of Amateur Radio, where hams are bound by a similar code of ethics practiced throught out the world.

A good ham avoid talking about topics that are argumentative as well as sensitive issues which might hurt people feelings, even when it is just a guideline, the code of ethics are maintained and is still there. The bloggers community should adapt such code of ethics so we could have a better blogosphere, as I believe it is better than to be force to take legal action against the relatively few unethical bloggers.

Absent Minded-ness : Signs of madness or personal quirks?

mypapit — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:33:20 +0000

I dont feel well lately as I found out that I’m hard to focus on certain things. The random lapse of attention made me worry a little bit.

Probably I should restructure my way of thinking. I need something to do, something like developing an interesting and exciting system, something useful which can make me re-focus my attention and train my brain again.

The state of idleness can drove one mad, or is it just my personal quirks to be absent minded when I’m not into research and development work?
