Port of Spain , Ye matey can forget it, for the Pirate Port of Singapore dangles the Geeks and Pirates with something much, much more attractive to the Geek, More Bandwidth!

What Bandwidth? Starhub had their NEW MAXONLINE package…with 100 Megabits Broadband for a special offer of $108 a month using DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, and if you get the modem (obviously you do have to buy it) , a HP IPAQ awaits ye mateys!

It’s one thing to have 30Mbps broadband, but to offer 100 Megabits Broadband, heck …I would surely need to change my routers and my NIC (network card) to the Gigabit type in order to enjoy that kind of speed. Imagine whacking someone on the head when playing network based World of Warcraft and other RPG Games like Doom or downloading movies of iTunes!!

HEESH! I could even ready myself to setup as an ISP with that kinda bandwidth, even a dedicated or a VPS Server hosted in the US won’t give you that bandwidth for you to play and tag along.

I am crying right now… because of Singapore’s latest promos…asking us R&D Geeks to come back home… and with more than 100Terabytes of Bandwidth available between the region and the Continental US and Pacific, I really , really, have to think about this…..

Ye…it’s a rat race…again, but at the income I am making… I could get away with more Tax Credit funding….and grants.

Singapore, a place I still call home. My port of call.

Would you??? Overseas Singaporeans??

**An unsponsored and unedited rambling about Singapore. Nothing to do with the Pay-And-Pay Government or what nots. No gun was pointed at the writer when this post was made. Maybe later on ah…**

Newsflash: Bird flu detected in Florida. Millions Infected. Big Bird ‘Ted Murphman’ Culled.

I just can’t help laughing at myself and be a jack of an ass today after I saw a huge sickly chicken on top of PayPerPost’s CEO and everything man, Ted Murphy who don’t look that well after spending the whole night couped up in the office working with the chain gang of development crew, and caught a great bug thanks to an infection from Bill Gates @ Microsoft and Internet Explorer.

Yeah, with a QUARANTINE ORDER aka CURFEW in place at some places of Malaysia due to the outbreak of H5N1 Bird Flu Virus (Avian Influenza), it’s not a laughing matter for some, but with regards to the picture of the bird on top of his head… looked really really sickly..and the look of Ted with a runny nose due to the stressload of jetsetting budget airline jumping and boarding from North to South, and having to deal with monkeys like me …bad pressing their Public Relations, I can imagine what will be the next headline be:

Worst Blogger of the Century CULLED.

Yeah…me, being a carrier for almost all the infestations…which off topic, the CDC found out that I had SARS a year before the outbreak happened!…and I am a walking germ bomb. So.. now, Ted… this is just a pick of the week, and for you to mention me in the TownHall without me present.

BTW, Are you going to Gatecrash NUFFNANG’s FOOD LOFT party on the 23rd June in Penang?? Just wonder..so I can get my NTV7 news crew ready..or at least BizNews from the National TV, RTM and Channel News Asia… I just love the exclusive scoop!Imagine the revenue I’ll get that week…..from Google.

Like I said… you should have a sign saying : H5N1 virus free! Better get some sleep.

And Just for Laughs…..like a friend who operated New and Trendy BBS, Vicknesh Ramachandran ever said to me…it takes a huge fool to know a smaller one..and me a monsterous clown!

PS: Did I see my ugly ogre face up on front page..with the top rates about?

To those who wondered who I was..snooping about people’s personal journals, well, you might know that I am just going for a little fishing campaign, meaning, catching up on some leads or so..and along with other stuff to gain more traffic.

It’s been a stale week actually despite the high volume turnover last week,putting thru an EPC of over $300 per click basis..netting me over $4000 net in commissions based on a single week’s days’ worth of advertising campaign at the cost of next to nothing.

I hope you stay and look about…fishing for my fishy business I am about to embark on, netting the larger fish in the ’sea’. So you may forget that day job after all eh?

Thanks for coming and do take up the free hosting offer, where I will rebate the first 2 months hosting and your domain name. I’ll install the AWBS soon enough, after this clean up of the mess in the backend.

I don’t know if this angers some parties, but I was reviewing my advertising zones on my networks when I noticed this ad Pending Approval : Get paid for Blogging : PayPerPost.com

So, it may be a technical error or something , amist of the 430 odd ads to approve over the network , but surely, this is not targetted marketing. I know if I take it on, surely alot of you will be flying thru the roof in anger, as you would think I will release my gang of robots etc and try to bring the server down by joy clicking, but I thought I would not stoop to that low, risking being banned by the entire advertising media community.

Question is, doesn’t someone go and check where their ads go?? I do. Do you?

Listen advertisers and Posties alike…. I did say this before how I tack and rate each opp, so here it is again….

I WILL BAN YOU IF:

You have porn,any form of gaming or gambling (Poker,Backgammon etc, Bingo Excluded) as a promotion as it is ILLEGAL for my HOST, as I will require a Gaming License to promote that, or an approval by the Gaming Commission.

If you short cut my opps and then write it just to grab an opp, meaning :Holding Opps. The first published RSS COPY fed to the system will be the proof copy, not the edited.

I’m very generous with what the offerings are, but seems people don’t like me as a blogger still take me as an advertiser, what the fishcakes I mean, you poo on me and expect to eat from my hand?!

That is an Official Statement.

From me..and yes..I’m clearing up the rest of the 1000 odd posts on my site to comply with these recent rulings.

Well, been reading just TWO comments on moderation today, and yes, it’s in moderation. Why I don’t want to publish it? Because these people don’t even want to leave their honest name and identity when publishing…so why should I give them the reason to gloat??

Seems these Americans don’t think wisely of me, but must I say more that alot of them don’t even know what they are talking about, still locked up in that cranny shell, thinking everyone else is wrong and they are right, just like their President and the ‘way of life’.

I have the balls to insult PayPerPost just like Jason C, if and when things are done WRONGLY, with the proper reasoning….and heck, there is NO COMMUNITY? I don’t live with you, but I have my full chain gang here who we work with, Yankees and Monkees…and not to forget a few jackees and beedees (CeeBeeBiees are excluded, all they noe are just jumping about and singing too many songs and making every parent a living zombie..with Balamory and Doodle Do etc…) and still they are no community.

Even on the Terms of Service, WE ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. So …be independent and don’t care less about what the next person is up to. They want to cuss and swear….and you find it OKAY, being your posts and your products promoted on a explicit ‘PORN RATED’ rubbish which even the Singapore Government is about to censor some of the Blog Material? Gosh… Must they be so think??

I’m not pointing fingers at anyone specifically, but as a generalised view of things…

So, just watch it… your product may be promoted with loads of smut, but not me. I may be outspoken and sucks, but I’m still ICRA censored and rated. So if there was an issue with my censorship or cussing language, the British Board will surely get to me first, not anyone else.

I was getting emails from some of you about Loudlaunch paying late this season, and after their changes…. but then, I did assure you guys that they pay proper. Thing is that they are more strict with their changes and the copies of the scripts made for the blog posting, that the want to make sure it’s …..proper, way way proper.

One thing about them is that they are like any employer, pay twice a month, and in 30 days arrears. Thus why you see all your earnings as pending. So don’t fear it at all mateys!

So I did get my payment last night, after the disheartening email from PayPerPost of my suspension (not that it matters much now, since I have hung it up for a while and it’s been very dry)…and Loudlaunch just bank rolled me $457.50 at one go! That’s all my pending for the half month. And no, I did not cheat, and complied to the 2:1 contention ratios now,since I got ‘glued’ by Google and the other Search Engines for having too much paid posts.

And so…that is just an update!
