As #KL112 drew to a close, this blog was brought down, as server resources were drained by high traffic, aggravated by unusual ‘GET requests’ from third-party websites that seemed to be spamming this site.
Now the site has been restored, and on the advice of the webhosting providers, supplemented by cloud servers. These cloud servers will hopefully ease the strain on hosting servers, make it a bit faster for you to download while making it a little easier to block spam websites and malicious exploits.
Apologies for the downtime.

Good to have you back, anil!
Wonder what set that off? Was it the rain? 😉
Thanks Salak! Yes, it was the rain .. a rain of spam requests from other websites.
Got error 404! Damn wasted my whole last night & this morning trying to access.
Spam at work, I supposed.
Oh dear, sorry about that, tunglang!
No matter the sun, moon or cloud servers, cheap hosting still remains CHEAP. Time to upgrade to BIGGER lines with dedicated hosting. Also consider emergency domain with other IPs as well. With your current facility, I believe your site highly likely unable to do any coverage for next GE. Expect 20-50 times traffic then. Just a kindly reminder.
Thanks GK, appreciate the thought. Will consider other options as polls draw closer.
A Badge of Honour!
The vermins aka cybertroopers would only target those who are making too much sense and opening too many smelly cans of worms to too many people for their masters’ comfort no?
Take a bow and add it to your CV.
