How many times have you had a site fail to load for you but work fine for your friends? I’ve had this happen to me numeros times with youtube,flickr,google and many other sites.

Here’s a cool tool by Twitter developer Alex Payne name appropriately downforeveryoneorjustme. The site’s self-explanatory, punch in the URL in fault and your get your answer.

This is a must have tool for me now. What ya think?

Negaraku! – The Malaysia News Aggregator

Malaysia has been busy with it’s politicians since the recent elections. Murder trials, sexual harassment, misconduct in law enforcement and the list goes on.

Ridicules if you ask me. Why do “upper class”, “educated”, “leaders” perform such “low class” acts? Are they no more then upper class beggars and prostitutes?

Well anyway, back to my post. My dad spends most of his day surfing the net for inside on the local political scene. His constant thirst for knowledge  drives my mom insane, especially when he skips his meals. 64 years old but the mind of a 20 year old.

Today I found Negaraku, a Malaysian news aggregator. Put together by noktahhitam and laman7 the aggregator polls feeds from local newspapers, general blogs and political blogs. The interface is clean and easy to navigate but the site is slightly sluggish which will improve in time I hope. My dad’s going to love this, all his info in none place.

What happened on November 25th 2007. From the hearts of those who were there.

My family was part of this interview by MalaysiaKini and you’ll see from the footage that my Dad was quite emotional about the whole event.

Thanks Indrani Kopal

My Sunday

Spent my Sunday at Sunway Lagoon with my office colleagues. My camera was in the locker the whole time so the only moment I managed to capture was Mr. Tiger  on the way out.

Anyways, it was a fun and tiring day and to top it off I fell for a sales trick by Sunway. The wrist band provided had a RM10 refundable deposit on it which I had not idea of. On the way out a sales girl ask me to return the wrist band in exchange for a free watch. What happened to my RM10? Stepping out of the gift store a tour guide walked up to me saying I should have said “no” to the free watch and gone to the ticket counter instead for my RM10. Damn……
