My web site, DeeCay Zone, is not staying up too as it's hosting on my home machine with a shitty Hitchison Powerline based broadband service. The throughput of the line is so bad that most of the time the web site like down, which doesn't make sense as I can still see my GetRight downloading stuff from Mircrosoft web site.

It's pretty obvious to me that I have to do something before I start to insane because of this crappy ISP. I am thinking of getting SoNet, which seems to be the only choice I have because:

- I don't like ICable's share bandwidth concept.
- I don't like Netvigator's price
- I don't like HKNet's customer service (my friend Kok had first hand experience )
- I don't like Huitchson's inconsistant service.

Now it's basically my cheapness against SoNet. I may convince myself to continue tolerant my current crappy ISP service since it's "free" (or at least I already paid thru building mainance fee). Beside, I don't have a long a time to enjoy it as I was at work most of the time anyway. Time will tell what the outcome is.

I bited the bullet and brought a new harddisk after constantly running out of harddisk space. This is particularly serious a problem when now that the machine is fast enough to run VMWare smoothly. I started to create a various OS (Linux RedHat, Windows 2000 ...) for various development projects. Hopefully this will provide some sort of incentive to continue writing code. It's been a while since I start some serious program. Coding is like exercising. You gotta keep coding, or else you will lose your coding sense.

The new hard disk is a Western Digital Serial ATA harddisk, which is supposed to be faster than the regular ATA 133 harddisk. I also paid HK$100 for than a Segate one. But then I believe that all harddisks are NOT created equal, and I trust the Western Digital brand. So far WD didn't fail me.

Sleep, and I am offline now. Talk to you later folks, and let me know if you want to yell back about something I said so far. Later.
