Disruption

Darn,the earthquake in Taiwan cause a massive disruption of the internet throught out the entire asia including South East Asia.Singapore is also affected by the disruption.Some of the website I could not visit are mostly from the US like Newgrounds and Youtube.It's a good thing I could access my blog.For all i know,I may not even get a chance to post today's topic.The reason why the internet is down through out the entire asia is because of the earthquke which occured underneath the seas near Taiwan.And near Taiwan are the internet cables from which Singapore and all the other countries are connected.These cables are the inme around ternet cable.Man,I'm currently having some major bandwidth problem.It took five minutes to load up just one website article from Wikipedia when usually the page would take merely a few seconds to load.I guess those people on the internet have a backup plan.They said they are rerouting the internet connection to somewhere else like Europe or Australia but even that took a lot of time.

I say when the physical medium is damge,the virtual world suffers a major lag.
Internet providers seems helpless to an occurence of the natural disaster.Perhaps after this,they would try to buil a wireless network tower or a land based WAN(Wide Area Network) instead of being under the sea.They should connect the internet somewhere between the point of the far North East Russian to the West side of Alaska in the US all the way into Canada and then the US again.I'm pretty sure the Russians are friendly today then there were before, during the cold war.

Some other alternatives;
Build are spaced base wireless WAN on the moon.
The intenet wires should be build around the equator which I would like to call,the internet belt of Earth.

Why am I here

I ask myself.Why am I doing something that people probably forget in a few seconds.I don't know why.Seems nobody cares.No one could hear me even if i was talking right infront of them.I need sometime to reconsider.

Java Programming for the holidays

Looks like I'll be spending my entire holiday doing Java programming at school except for Christmas.But it is all worth it.Why?Beacause I will actaully get to skip a module for next year becuase I have already done this one.This module will come in handy when I get to create my own software.Well not really but it's just a small step towards a greater goal that I have in mind.

Speaking of which,I've been spending too much time playing counterstrike again.I should have finish that poster by now.Well, thats all for the night.

Been Offline

I've been offline for the entire week this month all beacuse my dad didn't pay the cable company their bill on time.You see,the internet service I use is with Starhub and we also subscribe to Starhub Cable vision.The internet service is connected to the cable Tv so that means you have to pay both the bills at the same time.Fortunately,I didn't miss much of anything while offline.Another thing is that today,my eldest brother is going off to do his National service(Conscription) in Pulau Tekong.He has been choosen to go to the Army to do his Basic Military Training in the the dreaded jungle island of Tekong filled with unexploded landmines err i mean the island is haunted by ghost.He won't be back till next weekend.However he has to do his IPPT first because he did not get Gold or Silver for his NAPFA.Seriously,how in the world does NAPFA test determines your strength?I mean just beacue a guy get Bronze or nothing doesn't mean he is totally weak.Even the most physically weak human being can still kill someone with a knife or a bat.The strongest weapon of the human being is their mind.The mind is like a pandoras box.Open it and you'll get chaos just like how humanity unlock the weapons of mass destruction with the creation of the Nuclear Bomb.Oh damn I'm going off topic again.

Anyways,I wish my brother of the best of luck and told him to have fu while he is there.I know soon,it would be my time to serve national service(Conscription) too.I would prefer to put out fires than to fire bullets in real life.

Moved to a new version?

Wow,this new version of Blogger looks just like the old one.Very little has changed with the exception of the new labels for this post option.I was hoping a new layout or colour.Well,most people here are so used to this user interface that they might get confused if they change the layout.At least you don't need to republish your blog again to update it.One interesting thing that I like about the new one is that there seems to be no waiting time for publishing your post.It's quicker now.I wonder,did Google bought Blogger or something cause I had to make a Google account just to update my blogs to a new one.I wonder whther Google will eventually buy out Wikipedia or will Yahoo or Microsoft will get to them first?The Dot com business is booming again.
