Critical Thoughts

If you are suffering from a really slow surfing when connecting to US-based websites, now you know the reason why. This is one reason why I hate monopolies:

Streamyx broadband users will have to bear with sluggish surfing speeds until March 5 due to technical problems, according to Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM).

TM said in a statement that there has been a disruption of TM’s Internet services since Feb 18 due to circuit faults on the Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) between Malaysia and the United States.

Due to this, customers using Internet services may now experience slow browsing while accessing content hosted in the United States, said the statement.

Sigh. Not only are we lagging behind in terms of broadband speeds, we are also having a lousy service!

This is a free web directory which I started called Link Muncher Web Directory. I intend to keep it as a free web directory for as long as I own it. This is part of my experimentation with a totally-free web directory. Is there a catch, you may ask? No, there is no catch in this at all. But although it is a free web directory, it should be noted that links submitted will only be approved based on the submission guidelines which you should read first before submitting. MFA, affiliates or redirect websites will not be accepted at all.

So submit to Link Muncher Web Directory today and show that you appreciate this latest effort to maintain a free web directory for your backlinks and SEO needs.

A fresh round of Google PageRank (PR) updates started around last night and according to the Google Toolbar that I have installed in my browser, this blog is a PR4. But since I am experiencing some weird problems with this connection, I am not really too sure about it. Can someone confirm for me that this is really so?

My Streamyx connection seems to be behaving very oddly today. Fortunately I was able to do some jobs and even managed to download the latest Bleach and Naruto episodes, but it has been really shaky.
