gewd gewd very gewd

3Com router: gewd. zero downtime. torrents are at full (i.e. slow but steady) speed. wow is at full speed. no disconnections ever! found my copy of BSG S3E14 so that i can now continue watching xD

Blood Diamond: gewd. Jennifer Connelly: hawt. good movie.

Alterac Valley: gewd. been winning a few times in a row. 16 more marks for my epic mount xD. also got my rank 3 trinket. cheated somewhat by running thru the mob and rezzing and dying till i reached the wildpaw alphas.

Blackrock Depths: gewd. but could be better. last few grps were a mess. and this druid had the gall to criticise my healing when he himself can’t do better nor could he keep aggro off me in bear form. plus it’s not my fault if the main tank is high on weed. @_@. anyways, because of that i put 1 point in Holy, and prepared a Healer outfit for instances and PvP.

Scholomance: very gewd. had good ol’ Electricdove invite me for a run. t’was good till i was late picking up Khairil. a wipe close to the last boss ended it. still, our team did pretty well. i was level 56. :P picked up [Staff of Metanoia]. there were a few other things i should’ve Needed, but thought i’d probably get better ones when i hit Outlands.

more gewdies: Pan’s Labyrinth, Happy Feet.

wtf

last night, i couldn’t connect to the net at all. looking at all the blinking lights on the modem, it seems that the modem has died (erratic ethernet). but before i head out and get a replacement, i thought to check with tmnet to see if anything’s up. i got to the point where the operator said “please hold on”, but then the fucker hung up on me. i suspect it’s the same guy i scolded the last time i called. i called again but couldn’t get through, just a dead line after going through the automated options.

turds.

so there i was tempted to hop over to section 14 to buy something. i had my bro’s b’day dinner though, so instead i just turned the thing off and hoped that it’d work again when i get back. 3 hours later i turned it on, and it was still konked out. called henry to see if i could borrow his old modem to see if it’d work on my setup, but i couldn’t get him. decided to just leave it at that and go watch some movies instead.

now this morning, i walk out to the living room and see the modem lights alight as they should be. and here i am, finally able to blog about it. what. the. fudge.

so it probably boils down to one thing: tmnet. either tmnet was fucking up my connection, or the tmnet-issued modem was fucking up my connection. either way, it’s all thanks to streamyx. malaysia boleh!

server woes

i don’t know if anyone of you is experiencing this, but at times when i reload this website, the connection would hang and it would seem like the server is not responding. i think it’ll load sooner or later, but i usually don’t wait.

and funny thing is, it works only when i hit Refresh or Reload. doesn’t seem to happen when i load it fresh or directly via www.bangsar.net in the browser address bar.

please let me know if you’re having this problem as well. if the connection times out and you get an error message, that’s another story. :P
