hot.com.my now with hot.my too

I have acquired a shorter domain name “hot.my”. I am not sure what to do with it yet, for now it’ll be pointing back to this page, nothing fancy.
The .com.my shouldn’t exist, why didn’t MIMOS just started with .my right away like their mimos.my and jaring.my domain?

Well, the domain is 20% more expensive then the usual .com.my – so I better think of a way to make it back.

My dream mobile phone, part 2

Looks like my wish in part 1 had answered. A clever software called JoikuSpot does just that.
It turns my N80 into a Wifi base-station, using my 3G connection as the gateway to internet, sweet.

I’ve managed to get it running the first attempt, and this blog is posted from using the connection served by it!
It is in beta, still free (I hope free forever). I am really looking forward for the NAT implementation.

YouTube.com runs by monkeys

I’ve got an error accessing one of the YouTube video, and I realized that the site is in fact runs by monkeys. I have picture to prove it.

I want to hire these monkey too. If all I need is to pay peanut?

How cars move

From my apartment car park.
Nothing particulary interesting.

Another time-lapse video from my apartment

Shorter, more boring one. Maybe the sky wasn’t change as much. Anyway, looking for more interesting subject tomorrow.

Odds in car park

Two very odd occurrence in my office car park.

Someone left an umbrella at the underground car park entrance. Someone want to leave “something” behind?

Someone wrap toilet paper around this car.

12 years and 10,000

3 years ago I’ve posted this about my Kancil doing 77,777 KM after 9 years.
Today, it hits 10,000 KM on the odometer – after 12 years in service.

The car is still going strong, and I can not find reason to dump it (actually I have no money to replace it).
I am still driving it daily. Although I have left it aside quite a while.
It probably worth less than RM 4,000 now, but car like this is the worry-less one. I don’t have to remember whether I’ve locked the car properly, someone stolen it, being scratched, having bird shit shower etc.

It isn’t a safe car at this size, but with less than 30 KM round trip from my house to office daily, I don’t worry all that much.
It is quite lame for a man like me, at this age, to still drive around with such a small and rotten car. Honestly.
But as long as it is still going strong, I’ll keep it.
