Arrrgggh... It's happening on my blogspot page

In earlier article, I wrote about problems in my other blogs (modblog, etc.). Now, it's happening on this blog. For some reasons I could not access the main page, gbt.blogspot.com, but the individual articles are just fine. That is, you have to get the articles directly not from the main page.

Arrrggghhh. What's happening ...

Phew ... it's back now. Don't know what happened, but I am just glad that this page is back online. (I did send a problem report, though.)

Hey budi,

I stopped by to see how you were doing and I see from this post that you had familiar problems Thursday. A great number of former ModBloggers have set up blogs at an amazing free blog-host called EFx2 at

http://www.efx2.com/

When I joined a week ago it had most of the options ModBlog had; now it has ALL of them and more! You can add custom sidebar "menus' (naming these 'menus' anything you want)) with whatever content you like; bulletins, links, html code, pictures,anything. There are several nice basic and advanced templates with full control over the layout and design.

Take a look at my EFx2 blog at

http://blog.efx2.com/user/Scottitude/

and keep in mind that all I did to it was upload the images, change the colors, and arrange things. And I made some custom 'menus'. But my design may be a little 'busy' to some so look at some other blogs, too. Like ModBlog, some are graphically rich and some are very simple, yet well designed. And it's so easy!

Keith, the site owner/developer, has been very accommodating and fully understands how frustrated we all are with instability issues. He's expressed sincere commitment to communicate about development and downtime and he's believable...he's one of the most active members of the community. You can browse the forums and see that he's responded very quickly and built requested features almost immediately.

The instability and absence of reliability of "that other place" was intolerable but Keith is doing everything right. You'll be surprised at how many former ModBloggers are there, maybe people you've been missing. I urge you to check it out even if you're too busy right now to set up someplace else (again!), it's an amazing community.

Blog on, my friend!

~Scott

...but don't blog me, I'll be NICE :)

Himbauan Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia

Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia, Saya mengharapkan anda tidak melakukan penyerangan atau/dan pengrusakan situs-situs Indonesia dan Malaysia. Saya mengerti bahwa akhir-akhir ini beberapa masalah di dunia nyata membuat kita kesal dan marah. Namun kekesalan tersebut sebaiknya tidak dilimpahkan ke dunia maya (cyberspace). Semestinya sebelum melakukan aksi yang berdampak negatif, kita bisa melakukan langkah-langkah positif seperti melakukan dialog (melalui email, mailing list, bulletin board, blog, dan media elektronik lainnya). Kita harus ingat bahwa kita hidup bertetangga dan bersaudara. Yang namanya hidup bertetangga pasti mengalami perbedaan pendapat. Mari kita belajar bertetangga dengan baik. Saya berharap agar kita yang hidup di dunia maya mencontohkan bagaimana kita menyelesaikan permasalahan dengan kepala dingin dan hati yang lapang, sehingga para pemimpin kita di dunia nyata dapat mencontoh penyelesaian damai. Mudah-mudahan mereka dapat lebih arif dan bijaksana...

Say NO to APJII!

Prolog At the end of 1997, I went back to Indonesia from my studies and work in Canada. The .ID domain management in Indonesia at that time was in a confusing state. Nobody wanted to manage it. Universitas Indonesia (UI) - the original maintainer - was in a fight with APJII (the Association of Indonesian ISP). In the end, IANA gave me a mandate to manage the .ID domain. Since then, I manage the .ID domain with open management. There are problems, but mostly minors. Until recently, when APJII (again) is trying to take over the .ID domain management from my team. Here's a short info to give you a head start. Short summary APJII (the association of ISP in Indonesia) is trying to takeover the .ID domain management in Indonesia. They have tried and will try everything to take over. Long description I've been managing the .ID domain since the end of 1997. At that time, nobody wanted to run the domain management. First of all, a brief description of how we run things. To run the .ID d...

More bad news with Malaysia - Indonesia

I've got more emails and news about bad news between Indonesia and Malaysia. To be exact, there was a news about RELA (not sure what that is) that goes out after Indonesians in Malaysia. There were incidents where they hit Indonesians, rob, and do horrible things. I cannot even write this is my blog. I am so sad and frustrated. What's going on with Malaysia (and Malaysians)? What did we - Indonesian(s) - do to deserve this? I thought there should be less boundary between Indonesia and Malaysia. But ... What's going on there, bro & sis? You know, more Indonesians now feel that they are offended by Malaysians. I can tell you that this bad feeling is increasing. This is a bad publicity towards Malaysia. People are now creating various calling names, such as "Malingsia" (it's a short of "maling" [thief] "siah" [you, Sundanese]), and worse.
