5buxs.cn fail

I tried this out last year and was eligible to cash out.

However it turns out to be another scam website as today this is what I see when I got to the website 5buxs.cn.

Website slowed down by ads

Granted today's connection is quite slow but loading my commonly visited sites like my blog, petaling street.org, 5xmom, liewcf etc all loads with tolerable speed.

However one HongKiat.com took a long time to load. Looking at the bottom of the browser I can see that it's the ads that slows the site down. The header has already loaded meaning the browser has already connected to the website and completely downloaded the initial html code.

But since the ads have not loaded all I see is the header.

BuySellAds.com seems to be holding back the website in addition to a host of other ads such as tribalfusion.com. Perhaps it's just my connection.

Anyway after a full 2 minutes the website finally loaded. That's an eternity for me :)

Free Cake

I'm back in Teluk Intan and my first stop is a bakery with free cake.

image

image

It depends on your age. If you 68 years old you get 68% off the price of the cake you are buying.

That menas you'd have to be 100 to get a free cake.

That's my Grandfather and today's he's 101 birthday.

Free cake.

Cameron Highland rains

wetmorning

Some people hate the rain. I don't.

wet2

Particularly now when it rainsin Cameron Highlands, it becomes cooler than it usually is.

wet3

Some locals in Cameron Highlands have complained about Camerons not being cold as it used to be because of rapid development in the highlands.

I agree. I used to wear long sleeves or sweater during the nights here in Camerons but nowadays I don't need to. (Perhaps is the extra layer of fats I accumulated over the years :) )

wetroad

Anyway, the rain brings the temperature down to where it was originally.

Blogging on a netbook in Cameron Highlands

Blogging on a brand new Asus 1000HE netbook.
I'm in a cafe in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands called Rosette Cafe.

Pretty nice and of course it has WiFi which I'm using to post this blog post.

Food is great too. Recommended!

Exabytes an hour later

image

An hour later...

Looks like they are fixing the problems and more services are up but I still can't access the MySQL database which means my Wordpress blog is still down.

Exabytes down again

My main domain at Exabytes is down again. At least I can still log in to CPanel to see what's going on

image

Looks like the MySQL server service is down among others. :(

Reformatted 300 Entrecard Powerdropping links

I use PowerDropping.com list of 300 drops but I've reformatted in into a tabular format that I find is easier. Good to see that they've finally refreshed the list. Just to share, here is the latest links based on PowerDropping.com list ..
