Swordie Bloggie

Right now, two of my blogroll links are not working… it has been like that for more than 3 days. No, it is not my fault… and it is not my blog’s coding fault either.

It’s because they thought they had bought the best web hosting service provider on the planet. Their web hosting is having some kind of weird problem. I have spoken to one of them a couple of hours ago.

He said, he has contacted his web hosting service provider and they are trying to fix the problem on the server side! On the server side?!! Well, at least they admitted the fault is on their server and not blaming my friends coding!!!

Gosh, imagine a few days down caused by your ‘best web hosting’ service provider!
Imagine if the website is your sole income provider!
Imagine the lost of visitor and lost of $$$

Who to blame?
Will he get compensation for the losses? Full compensation? Half compensation? No compensation?

I’m so pity on him.

Attending two meetings in a day is not that bad. But having the two meetings one after another from 9am to 5pm is just too much. And having intense meeting debate is another case! Luckily no one reaches the ‘boiling point’ like what the other said 😆 OK lah… time to watch tv and get rest 😀  And tomorrow there will be another discussion… looking forward to it 😀

Everyday, we are spoilt with all kind of plastic containers. Why I said that is because I’m sure you’ve experienced where plastic containers especially the drinking or mineral water bottles over flowing the garbage container at almost every corner of the town.

Yesterday I had another experience of this when I tried to throw away my 500ml drinking water bottle at the car wash centre. When I open the garbage container, it’s full with drinking water bottles! This is what we call Scrap High Density Polyethylene or Scrap HDPE.

When I think about it, imagine what happen if these bottles are simply thrown away or burned. The amount of pollution it caused will be major. Scrap HDPE is not biodegradable, meaning if you buried them, it will still be there after 100 years maybe. And if you burn them, you know how much black smoke plastics produced when they are burned.

So, please save the world… try to take home your drinking bottles and use it for other purposes or recycle them at the recycling centre.

It was so unfortunate for McLaren. They only manage to get 3rd and 5th placing through Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton.

If they were not penalized with 5 grid, where both of them dropped to P8 and P9 from P3 and P4 respectively, I’m sure the 2008 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX will not be that boring.

I almost fell asleep a few times while watching it on TV.

But not to worry so much… McLaren is still leading in both categories… the Drivers Category and Constructors Category.

Toyota and BMW are also doing well 😀

It’s OK… It’s just a time trial… The race hasn’t started yet… will start in about 12 hours.

Holy COW! The two bloody Ferrari are in front!!!

But it’s OK… both McLaren are right behind them… BUT… both of them are penalized 5 placing by the steward… damm!!! damm!!! damm!!!

Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton will each drop five places on the grid for Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix after stewards decided they had blocked rival drivers in the closing stages in qualifying. They will now start the race eighth and ninth respectively…

Hope the Toyota will save the day if anything goes wrong.

1. Felipe Massa – Ferrari

Last year, my office was infested with termite. Well… not really the office, but our store room. The termite were eating our supplies of stationeries… it even try to eat the CD-ROM! Crazy Stupid Termite!

We immediately inform our building maintenance people who immediately called for the termite buster. Then we learned few things about termite from them. According to the termite buster, getting rid of termite is very very hard because of the termite bond with their QUEEN, they are willing to die for their queen. Yaiks… I thought we die for our KING?

So to kill them, they must make them thirsty by feeding them with chemicals, emm… I thought you kill them with the chemicals straight away like mosquitoes?… emmm… whatever, as long we can get rid of them because if you see the damage they have done, your hair will stand! Can’t even stand taking photos of it.

McLaren is the fastest in the Friday practice round for the Sunday Malaysian Grand Prix 2008 at Sepang.

I hope McLaren will succeed in getting the pole and 2nd position during the time trial today which will start in a few hours.

As usual, Ferrari will be McLaren stiffest challenger. In fact Ferrari is the 2nd and 3rd fastest in the Friday practice round. McLaren second driver, Heikki Kovalainen, only manage to get the 7th fastest.

How many types of valves do you know? I only know a few types of valves which I directly or indirectly use. For instant like my car brake valves, clutch valves, water pipe valves and a few more which I can’t remember right now. Ooo yes… not to forget our heart valves, without it we will not survive.

There are many kind of valves design too, such as ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, solenoid valves and many more.

If you are looking for information on valves in the internet or want to buy valves for yourself or business, you should look at Zycon. Zycon is an online industrial directory of industrial, manufacturing, and distributing businesses, products and services. You can find many types of valves here.

Do you know what is contrail?

Contrails or vapor trails are condensation trails and artificial cirrus clouds made by the exhaust of aircraft engines or wingtip vortices which precipitate a stream of tiny ice crystals in moist, frigid upper air.

OK, those are not my words… I got it from Contrail’s Wikipedia.

Why am I talking about contrail?

About two weeks ago, while trying to capture clouds, I saw the contrail… well I did not know what it’s called at that time. I just called it airplane exhaust smoke.

Then, last Thursday, Jonathan saw me downloading my photos from my camera to my notebook. When he saw the ‘contrail’ photo, he said… ‘Wah… contrail.’… I replied ‘WHAT?’… he answered ‘that is contrail’… I asked ‘are you sure that is the right name?’… he said he sure.

Then I google the word ‘contail’… yes I spell it CONTAIL because that’s what I thought it was at that time… That day was the first time I heard the word Contrail.

The current global economy is not very promising to some. More and more are getting into financial trouble everyday and the statistic is not getting better either. To those who are already in this troubled boat will have a hard time to get back onto their feet. It will not be easy for them to get another financial assistant thus making it even more impossible for them to break free.

Although there are many out there who are willing to offer help to those who are in this troubled boat, they should not take those offer straight away because it might bring them further into the slump. Many are offering bad credit loans, but how much will it fit into their shoe?

To avoid to escalate their trouble, they should do further research on what other suitable credit offer available to them. Or get free resources from Bad Credit Offers who compile credit offers available daily. Their experts compile and analyze credit offers available in the current market and present it to other consumers to help them to find the best credit offer that fit into their needs regardless of their credit history.
