I will be off for a break during the week.
During the time, please note that alot of services are not stable due to the NETWORK FAILURE last night. I will try get a new Blade Server to replace the cluster , subjective to DELL.

Thanks. My brains really need the chill pills.

I was actually shocked when I was given a notice from the Information Development Authority in Singapore that I actually needed a license to have my servers Co-Located as it’s classified as a Store And Forward Value Added Network (SAF VAN) as I could use them for reselling purposes.

What?! I thought they gotten rid of that licensing since the Bulletin Boards Systems went down in Singapore in 1998 as the last of the dinosaurs died off in 2000. I know because I have to take a frigging Amateur Radio License Operator License and learn Morse Codes all before I can continue operate my license as a BBS. BBS.NU aka GizmoNET Intraweb BBS was licensed under call sign 9VB-482D by then the Telecommunications Authority of Singapore TAS. 9V Being the Singapore Identification code (9M-2 for Malaysia alongside 9M-6 (sabah) 9M-8 Sarawak , now with 9W-2 for class B Malaysia)

We know what and who used the licenses as these call signs are permanent to the person or station. In the times , AA - BB -CCC is the format, being N1 being used for American Small Aircrafts , like wise, 9V-B-428D being Singapore B Operator ID 428 Class D type Station. This station and operator identification system was part of the CCITT (now International Telecommunications Union or ITU) numbering unit which says, First 2 are country, followed by alphabets for aircrafts and stations or number for person operating that station then by alphabets or alpha-numeric.

Mine was easy, Singapore Station B VAN Operator (A used for ISPs and authorities), followed by a subnet number and a check alphabet because I am both a station and a personal network operator.

Which comes back to my point, why the need to do that again now, with the presence of the Internet? You mean I have to get a frigging test because I am using a co-location without the need of leased lines or such? I thought Singapore was doing away with all these fraudster ways, by only licensing because YOU MAKE MONEY RESELLING like Prepaid cards, Games Networks or if I am an ISP which is easier to get nowadays, but having my own server?? I can run an ISP or VOIP network from my home as an office and so for 3 years, but I need a license for putting it on a datacenter?

Oh well, the requirements….Malaysia is worse off. More stuff to fill…

Oooh well, I might as well stick to 4U-X1C code instead.

Well, Did I forget to say I am an advertiser on their network? Yeah… I am getting a special deal for tolerating their problems and stuff like that and what does it mean to you as a blogger?

For starters, they are changing their formats. Means you can place Text Links along side with a Banner one if there are any running about *(I have quite a few booked in..waiting for my client’s approval), which looks and feel like a sidebar, a Banner, a leaderboard and a huge rectangle.

That’s when they lost their nuggets. Gold nuggets. 2CO has issues with them as the domain and other information did not match, plus these yanks hate us Malaysians. So, they will get 2CO to process their payment and me sticking to my guns with Paypal. So they had to deal with that plus the server issues (which I know they are moving again) and that Glitterati placed some nails on their tyre tracks and leave them punctured of their bloggers.

Like I said to them, even though I’m a competitor, my income is from a bigger source as this is just to theorize our theories of the ASEAN Online Market.It’s not big with little or none left of a net profit to call it decent earnings but I think people will prove the money markets wrong.

So what in it for the blogger and what makes them stay faithful to the KEDAI Alliance? Well, our offers are something not to be missed.

One of them is FREE HOSTING. Which means, FREE DOMAIN and Hosting for a year. Of course there are catches..which means exclusivity for our networks only.Just like Wordpress.com but without the hassle. Actually, if you use Wordpress.com and you pay for the credits, you can add things in it. Among others is some exclusive cut-out discounts with some vendors and at times, we have a few other freebies, which is better than just movies and screens.

So, No more Grab My Ass, No More Nuff’ Let or Advertlets. We too have Contextual and Rich Media to present, but that…is when we get our budget.

I got an email this morning from Loud Launch which says they had some technical and manual issues validating opportunity payments, ie my Blog Payment for the month of November to the Christmas rush, which they were supposed to pay before the new year. So, OK, I got compensated for it, about $172 for the delay in payments.

Then then anti-climax of the sexual sort, the bummer. It’s like you vigorously boning it with the peak in sight and then you remembered that you forgot the rubber sort. The Quantity issue. Of the marketplace, there will be at least 10% of the bloggers who will be kicked out. Or Banned, or given the time out because they took too many opportunities in one day. Google Page Nuke is not helping either with payouts either. Most of everyone doing Paid Posts have had their Page Rank down to NOTHING. I had all except one which stands at a SINGLE VALUE OF ONE. Which don’t deserve it at all because I write crap on it. So how many are we allowed to in a day per blog?

It’s like you trying to give your partner multiple orgasms but not knowing the limit before she gets sore or before you run out of juice and from being a pleasure turning it into an ordeal. With both walking like a huge ball in between the legs for the next few days. Get the drift?

It’s also just like when you trying to figure out how to ‘cheat’ the system by maneuvering your ads into better paying ones like Glitterati and at the same time giving great value for money by placing Adbrite, Text Link Ads and Google Adsense to it. And knowing that the advertisers now will kill any ad spots if they smell any competitor like a paid post or something hurts bad too.

Well, I did promise some graphics and my friend Sya has been kind to forward something from Kak Elle about some graphics which you should read…

It concerns women and you men too… That means going for a mamogram

Had enuff??

And in no particular order actually.

And after all these years.. friends are always there to remind you of something….

Best regards

LOL ROTF…

PS : If you got issues with Nuffnang’s Glitterati and any other questions, please pop it here… Tim reads it often.. (seems he has been sneaking up on me and stalking me for my Espresso Frapracino Venti Triple Shot)

I know when you start talking about the Italians, the thought of the Romeo of a Pasta Loving bloke will come to your mind.Italiano Cruisines have been publicized so much and places to visit must be Venice, Rome, Vatican City and Milan. Think of Gucci, Bonia, Prada and other branded bags and accessories.

But did you know that Milan has a few airports which you can land in? Or that you can drive up the Swiss Pass up to the ski alps of St Moritz. And I miss the thin crusted pizza that my friend Maria Sparacio had baked in her home stone wood oven. It’s quite cold actually during the winter months but as I said, the Italian men are more of a Romeo than a useful kind. Italian women called them MCPs , worst than the Greek men. Which is true if you drive down to Italy from the French or Swiss or Austrian borders.

And if you hate the cold winter, you can always drive down to Florence. Loads of sun and grape vines and sunny romantic sunset. Yeah. Italy has alot for you to offer, from Ski Alps to Sunny Beaches.

Where would you go?

Well, after I announced that I was a Glitterati a few days ago and then I saw the update… I was now no more. I just wonder,where it goes wrong? I took off Nufflets already and I’m not with Advertlets other than my NN.SG ads. So you want me to get rid of the Singapore Nuffnang ads too is that it?

Just wondering..
Anyone faced the same issue?

Welsh love their Balls. I really Big HUGE GAELIC BALL. It’s call the Ragby aka Rugby ball or commonly called the rugger in the deeper sides of Wales ( I like to say it by their Official Name, CYMRU ) like Tenby or Llanelli *(spoken as Glan Delli, locals say it as Klan Nack Lee). But then Wales love to beat their neighbours with their pants down and hit them hard on the playing field. I don’t remember how many times, but only so far England only trashed the Welsh twice (if I can recall) in the RBS 6 Nations Rugby Tournament.

England on the other hand played badly for the past few runs, and had been under performing in the recent events which were always plagued by some sort of scandal which Britain is an Island full of it. Winning the World Championships only filled their ego with loads of Hot Air but always get trampled by their foes in Paris.You can try your luck too with the online rugby games and have some little fun if you have not got the tickets yet. Forget eBay too..since the tickets are a rip off.

Did I mention that the frogs are playing and they play real good? At last year’s events they did quite the expected.

The Scotsmen have been known to be aggressive in their games and they play really well too. Fair and Play. I remembered the friendlies between them and their bitter enemies the English..and it was a close shave. I nearly lost my £10,000 bet that day…. all by a ‘touch down’ and a try.

As for our every so happy Irish friends down south, St Patrick have been taken a piss, drunk too much Guinness and forgot to attend to their believers at the ‘congression’ of men and women who prayed that Eirann will win, but like the punt of my joke, the lucky charms did not work this time against the Italians.

Which reminds me that along with making great pasta and food, the Italian following in the RBS 6 Nations was a good one too. Nicely played but the punters had their day cut out for these underdogs especially when the Irish and the Italian are on field. It’s like Manchester United playing Chelsea without knowing what minute will the first goal will score within the premium first 20 minutes because if ManU did not score enough by then, they are dead meat. So, that is how unpredictable rugby is.

I follow rugby at times and despite I hate Natwest, I don’t hate their boss, the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Cherios!

Bring it on!
