			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if any of the readers have gone to the Main Post Office in Alor Setar (Malaysia), but during the last few months, I&#8217;ve noticed the parking space in the place has exceeded its designated capacity. </p>
<p>This prompted post office customers to double park, park in a non-designated spot or even recklessly driving into the already crowded lane in order to spot an empty parking space. Not only this would be time consuming, but it would also poses danger to the passengers as well as the passer-by. I doubt I&#8217;ll be seeing any improvement pretty soon, the Post Office was built without any consideration for future expansion, especially with the kind of traffic it attracts.</p>
<p>However come to think about it, the worst Post Office in this category probably should go to Kangar Main Post Office, which offer virtually no parking spot, even for motorcycle, and people has to deal with almost an hour long of vehicle queue to conduct their businesses (pay bills, send package) through its &#8216;convenient&#8217; drive-thru counter. Heck, the Main Post office doesn&#8217;t even handle Pos-Laju and Pos Express on their own, due to the location restriction.</p>
<p>Welp, guess any new govt building now should consider the parking space factor, they should build an undegroung parking lot as well as multi-storey ones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank good the move to<a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?273515 "> Dreamhost</a> went without a hitch. As the result of the move, I now can access my blog frequently without the downtime associated with the previous webhosting provider. </p>
<p>Hopefully I can be more productive in writing new posts each week about things related to amateur radio and my other hobbies.</p>
<p>p/s: Personally I felt<a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?273515 "> Dreamhost </a>is the best web hostng provider that I ever subscribed, I&#8217;ve tried 6-7 other webhosting provider (concurrently) in Malaysia and oversea&#8217;s but none of them offers services as great as <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?273515 ">Dreamhost</a>. In that spirit, I think it&#8217;s only fitting to move Please.Name.My from the problem-ridden local webhosting provider to Dreamhost, along side with my other domains.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recent events surrounding blogging community has caught my attention, in which a blogger was arrested in Singapore due to <a href="http://ping.sg/read/Local_blogger_arrested">his racist remarks</a> on his blog. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I dont feel well lately as I found out that I&#8217;m hard to focus on certain things. The random lapse of attention made me worry a little bit. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The state of idleness can drove one mad, or is it just my personal quirks to be absent minded when I&#8217;m not into research and development work?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even in 2008 in the era of blogs and webservices, there are people who are still stuck in the 1990s.</p>
<p>Embedding music player and playlist of your favorite song is okay, as long as you don&#8217;t auto play it when somebody surf your blog. Worse of all, when you don&#8217;t include a button to make the music stop.</p>
<div align="center"><img src='http://please.name.my/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/youtube-sucks.jpg' alt='You sucks' /></div>
<p>Please, we visit your site to read blog posts, not to listen to your favorite music. If we want to listen to your music, we would already have it on <strong>our</strong> computer. </p>
<p>Its annoying to be forced to listen to the music that you don&#8217;t want to hear, much less it interferes with <strong>our</strong> own music player. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if people would rather choose to depart early from your website without even finishing your post for that reason.</p>
