DreamHost PS

November 29th, 2007
23 Comments DreamHost PS

The site was getting way too slow, so I tried applying for DreamHost’s new invitation-only Private Server option. It finally got approved yesterday. It’s basically a virtual machine with a specific amount of CPU cycles and RAM dedicated to each user. It’s also damn expensive. The site does feel more responsive now. However, I’m still [...]

Odex has been hacked!

November 22nd, 2007
62 Comments Odex has been hacked!

UPDATE 22/11/2007: Ops, it seems that the DNS wasn’t the one that’s compromised. The page wasn’t working for some people so I assumed it was due to slow DNS propagation, but apparently Odex has always been hosted on PacNet (ironic). The hacker gained access to the web server itself, which probably means the SQL database [...]

103 Comments Odex goes International!

UPDATE 20/11/2007: I have confirmations from an Odex employee that the whole thing was a mistake made by BayTSP. LOL. Show’s over, guys. Expect damage control to kick in soon. UPDATE AGAIN: It seems that I wasn’t too clear. I have independent confirmation from a current Odex employee that the whole thing was a mistake. [...]

19 Comments Freedom to Think

Shingo over at Heisei Democracy has put up a detailed time line of the recent anime-related controversies that are causing niche doujinshi artists to come under fire from mainstream Japanese media. It’s a rather disturbing development which mirrors that of the demonization of video gaming in conservative American media. While we all had a good [...]

Attention Singaporean Readers!

November 8th, 2007
55 Comments Attention Singaporean Readers!

I have a small personal request. Now, I usually keep personal stuff out of this blog ever since it stopped being a place where I recount my daily activities with great attention to insignificant details and wanton cynicism. (Those were the days.) But I decided that since I have a decent local readership, it won’t [...]

Code-Geass.com Domain Transfer

16 Comments Code-Geass.com Domain Transfer

Code-Geass.com no longer belongs to me. I’m sure some of you still remember the now-defunct Code Geass fansite that I made to parody ASOS Brigade‘s announcements last December. (Wayback Machine’s archive) Well, it’s going offline permanently because I have transferred away all rights to the domain. I am not allowed to reveal the identity of [...]

15 Comments Free Jigoku Shoujo Handphone Straps!

Well, I think this is for Singaporeans only, but foreigners can still give it a shot. Maybe you’ll get lucky. I don’t know. The person wasn’t too clear about it. Ops. Looks like it’s Singapore only after all. Anyway, Animax is giving away FIVE free Jigoku Shoujo (Girl From Hell) handphone straps to readers of [...]

What is wrong with the picture below, other than its terrible camera phone picture quality? Hint: this is as far as the door opens. Answer lies after the break.

I have uncovered the secret law of the universe. Click to find out… If you don’t get the joke, go study calculus. I should really be revising for my exams next week. I hate chemistry.

53 Comments No more backlogged letters from Odex

According to a forum post by Stephen Sing, as of today (3rd September) no more backlogged letters will be sent out. Odex will not take legal action against you with old evidence. If you stop downloading from today, you are guaranteed, by the man himself, not to get Odex’ed ever. Original thread on Odex forums: [...]
