Oh bumpers! Lightning struck our house killing both our Maxis Wired Broadband modem and wireless router. We were away in Melaka, picking up Mama Pasha’s parents at the jetty when that happened. By the time we got back, the main switch was already tripped. I only realized that the Maxis equipments were damaged when it took longer than usual to get connected to the Wi-Fi signal. Upon checking, I found that the modem, wireless router as well as Pasha’s PC are dead.. duh..
The good news is that Maxis will replaced both devices FOC. The bad news no. 1 is that we might only get the new devices by Monday. The bad news no. 2 is Pasha’s PC might have to be repaired and suspected that the power supply is already toasted. Not sure how much a power supply unit would cost. Hopefully it would not be more expensive that the PC, which cost only RM 299 when I bought it..
For the time being, we have to depend on the Maxis Wireless Broadband, which is something that will really test our patience when it comes to speed and stability. Maxis wireless broadband connection in Shah Alam is best described as a yo-yo. When you are lucky, your yo-yo will still spin while going up and down. Otherwise, it will go down, stop spinning and never come back up again. Just like playing a yo-yo, all you need to do is wind up the string and restart your play..
So, tonight Mama Pasha used the broadband on the HTC Wildfire, connected via the HTC Portable Hotspot and I used my other wireless broadband connected via the Maxis USB device. Not that fantastic but enough for us to check email, run Facebook and let me post this entry..
Till then, have a good weekends folks while we play with our yo-yo..

Read an interesting article titled Growing shift from blogs by Verne G. Kopytoff in NST dated February, 28 2011. The gist of the article was about the waning interest in blogging by the younger generations who prefer social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to blogs. Do you think that blogging is at its ending? For me, I just don’t think so..
Blogging started about 10 years ago by services, such as Blogger and LiveJournal, became so popular that Merriam-Webster declared “blog” as the word of the year in 2004. I remembered that.. Now, blogs are being challenged by Facebook with its all-purpose hub for posting anything under the Sun and Twitter that becomes part of the so called microblogging services, which allows messages of no longer than 140 characters..
Let me share some quotes from the article that would be of interest to bloggers..
According to Elisa Camahort Page, a co-founder of BlogHer, “If you’re looking for substantive conversation, you turn to blogs. You aren’t going to find it on Facebook, and you aren’t going to find it in 140 characters on Twitter.”
“The act of telling your story and sharing part of your life with somebody is alive and well — even more so than at the dawn of blogging. It’s just morphing onto other platforms.”, said Lee Rainie, director of the Internet and American Life Project.
How is Blogger, owned by Google, doing? It had a 2% decline, to 58.6 million unique visitors in the United States in December 2010 compared to a year earlier. However, globally, its unique visitors rose 9%, to 323 million. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Google decides to shutdown Blogger?
On the other hand,WordPress and Tumblr, which also calls itself a blogging service, seem to have avoided any decline. Isn’t that interesting? According to Toni Schneider, chief executive of Automattic, the company that commercializes WordPress blogging software, bloggers often use Facebook and Twitter to promote their blog posts to a wider audience thus making them complimentary rather than competitors. He also mentioned that WordPress is mostly for serious bloggers, not the younger novices who are defecting to social networking.
“There is a lot of fragmentation. But at this point, anyone who is taking blogging seriously — they’re using several mediums to get a large amount of their traffic.”, said Schneider.
Looks like blogging will still be around for a long time folks!
