sorry for the recent unstable host. sometimes pages doesn’t load, and sometimes the page loads halfway, slow loading and everything. That’s because my host having problems with the datacenter and they are going to shift to another datacenter. Hopefully *fingers crossed* that no data lost from my side. trying to do some backups on my site so that nothing will go wrong.

:D Hurray for a better site!

Please read the entry before reading this edit, otherwise i guarantee you will be absolutely lost in the jungle and no rabbits can save you.

[EDIT]
:D gabriel thought this for me, and i think this term really suits me a chemist with stable background (anyway just crapping) with useful and real substance.

Chemical name for Xiaoyun: [(XenonIodoSilverOxide) de-Germanium] (YittriumUranateNitrogen)

[/EDIT]

hehe, I was literally studying my new periodic table that i printed from the net and came up with some silly stuffs that I thought might be interesting. I’m full of nonsense anyway.:P

I thought, why not I translate this silly idea into a game for my site. I’m not sure if there is any sort of this game existing in other sites at all, perhaps similar, but i hope I am still original to remain innovative. It is 100% purely my makeup initially, with no copyright intended. I shall not keep the suspense but reveal the idea, partly to serve as an evidence that i did not copy it before anyone else redirects me to the pioneers of this concept. Even though that at its early stage, the game might have many flaws, i hope i can be able to cover them up by imposing some rules.

Chemistry students should be more familiar with all the terms but it should be playable by all. Lets call it “the periodic table game” before I come out with some exotic name for it. Those who are interested to find out how the periodic table looks like can check it out.

Before I go on to explain the game mechanics and its possible rules, I thought i should introduce how i get the idea. I was studying the periodic table during lecture out of sheer boredom and found that periodic table is pretty interesting. I saw a chemical symbol of the element, Niobium, which is denoted by Nb. for those who know hokkien dialect, you should guess that it is also a short form to some vulgarity word. For those who don’t know hokkien, i think i just told you what it can represents.

[EDIT 24 Feb] Well, it appears that my bandwidth problems have been solved. thank you all for your patience. [/EDIT]

this is irritating. if you have checked my site and noticed a bandwidth exceeding message, it is not true that bandwidth exceeded. Man, i got 60gb limit and i was barely using 3% (2gb) of the bandwidth allowance (checked 24 hours ago). Then, today, saw the bandwidth exceed message.

Unless someone horrible spam my website like massive repetitive downloads, i don’t see the how within a day my bandwidth will be eaten by another 58gb. But, the support claimed that the values are correct and i’d indeed utilised the full 60gb.

Let me do some maths here. You see, if i download animation at 100kb/sec continously for 24hours (86400 sec), i get 8,640,000 kbytes into my computer by the end of the day. 8,640,000 is equivalent to 8640mb, which is 8.6 gb only. It takes one person to continously clicking for downloads or refreshing for entire day, only to get 8.6gb bandwidth used.

For a download speed of 200kb/sec, only 17.3gb used. It takes 3.4 people to download at the speed of 200kbps to eat up my entire 60gb bandwidth.

Anyway, usually the server can only download up to a stable 80kbps, so if someone spam my site about 7gb bandwidth might be used in 24 hours. So probably, i can afford 7 people who dislikes my site to eat my entire bandwidth.

BUT, it makes no sense, seriously, my site has only been running for about 2 months, it is not that popular. To add, my site is a personal one with few visits from random ppl. I don’t see any sense out of it that someone wants to spam my bandwidth since the visits are from my friends and of course, myself.

click on image twice to get bigger picture

see, I don’t lie. at GMT +8, 1.17pm, the site surprisingly doesn’t show the message like 1 hour ago. See, only 2010.98 mb = 2gb of bandwidth is used. However, i am expecting another message of bandwidth exceed soon since its a bug. And a bug is unpredictable.

darn, i really like my new server and i hope this setback is solvable. If not, its server hunting time again.

sidetracking away from this domain, I have exactly the same error message (the bandwidth exceeding one) for my other domain. It happened before a-spirate.com gets the same error. I was less worried for the other domain though, so didn’t care much until my a-spirate.com gets the same error.

Alright, it seems that my host have successfully shifted and my site is working again. I hope my new host together with its upgrade of server is going to be great.

There are a couple of stuffs that I am considering to do soon:

1. Probably getting a SOTM (well, i decide to do this since I really like to recommend some good sites) soon when my site unique hits goes up to 3800. two times of the current 1900. lol, seems pretty far-fetched, lets see, how about 2300 then?
2. Perhaps do some tutorials, especially on skinning and working on themes.
3. Oh, not forgetting I have to work on my secondary site and my friend’s site.
4. Besides that, I have to set sometime for my game. I deprived from my gaming duration!

its seems like I have got alot to work on.

[EDIT]

I am actually considering doing hosting. BUT, it should be for my close friends for now. Any friends want a web host? i think you can get a ftp, mysql database, probably about 100mb space depending on where i am hosting you at, email (at request).I will be revising about this hosting for friends but currently open for application.

Application is simple. Just drop me an email.
