A friend of mine forwarded this large scale LAN party picture to me. Look at the number of computers… the hall must be damn warm since some participants were seen half naked! Haha…

If you have no idea what’s a LAN party… let’s check what Wikipedia has to say:

A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people together with their computers, which they network together primarily for the purpose of playing multi-player games. These local area networks (LANs) come in various sizes, from very small (two people) to very large (more than a few thousands people).

Small parties can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation on the part of the organizer.

Can’t imagine how powerful is this hugh LAN… several times more powerful than the world’s most powerful supercomputer I guess!

Have you attended any LAN party in Malaysia? Well, maybe not, Malaysia is only good for biggest flag, or biggest roti canai, but never large scale LAN parties like this… maybe a party of 5 computers in a cyber cafe only, unless we have something like this…

Wow… with this installed, I would expect a hugh turn out!

I have put up my RSS feed subscription widget a few days now, but the number of subscriber is so pitiful… 1 person only! Can’t believe it, is it because my content is not attractive, which is not likely or because I am not a problogger *yet*?

Liucf has so many RSS subscribers… that’s got me envy!

Believe it or not, both founders of Nuffnang, Timothy Tiah and Cheo Ming Shen are in the nomination list of this year’s Businessweek Asia’s Best Young Entrepreneurs award! Timothy is not only the youngest among the 25 finalist, he’s also the only Malaysian there. He’s 23 only.

There, that’s Timothy Tiah, aka Boss Stewie! Girls, he’s still available… It’s not usual for me to put a big portrait photo on my blog, but I do it now because I hope by doing this he will send some big paying advertisers to my blog… haha, I want to make big money online also!

I know you have seen and used Facebook, but probably you are now bored with it. But have you seen Hatebook? Hatebook is a parody of social networking site, Facebook that looks and functions exactly the same, except with an evil twist. It lets you express your anger and rage.

Hatebook has many features that are similar with Facebook, and the interface is almost an exact copy only that it’s a fiery red evil theme. Hatebook is a place for you to be anti social and conniving.

After you sign up with them, you will be greeted with the following evil message:

Hello Sucker! Welcome to Hatebook! Your registration to the Evil Empire was successful. Feel free to pimp your hate profile.

In your profile, you list the things that you hate, and network with other evil people to create lies. You can even receive hate points. You also have the ability to upload photos and create hate albums and videos of those people whom you hate!

Do check out my Hatebook profile… I have added Liucf there! Wahahaha…

Some people are really creative. They see the popularity of Facebook and quickly created something similar, only name it Hatebook!

If you have bad Streamyx connection, such as intermittent or frequent disconnection, one of the likely cause could be a faulty splitter. Although I agree that 90% of the time it’s due to problem at Streamyx side. Anyway, to improve Streamyx’s speed and stability, it’s important to get a good phone splitter. The one from Aztech is of good quality and affordable at the same time.

I bought this from IT Planet, one of the only few IT stores in Puchong. This store is located in Tesco Puchong. Retails for RM15, but I managed to bargain to RM10.

I have a couple of telephone sockets at home and the one in the study room is already installed with a phone splitter because that’s the one connected to the Streamyx line. But the other one in the living room which is connected to the phone is problematic when I am online… Whenever someone uses the phone, I may get disconnected from Streamyx, and static and dialing tonnes could be heard on the phone too.
