Killing me Softly with a Slow Host

This is my third term with Hive.com.my and I am getting irritated with the hosting speed. Dont know why, of late, my site have been loading so slowly that I could not get it validated at Google Webmaster Tool. the site loads > 10s, while some of the other top sites like 5xmom.com only loads within 3s. She was on a dedicated server and not sure how much her host cost. Hive.com.my can be considered on the entry/budget level, with only USD40/year, you get 5Gb of space, 50Gb of transfer, a whole lot of stuff and one free domain. Best deal around. Technical response was also fast and reliable. But all these doesn’t mean much if the site takes forever to load. Everytime I clicks any button on my wordpress, it takes almost a minute to load. I was listerning to ‘Arigatou’ from Kokia and it was half a song before I get to the write post page. Tell me how I can tolerate this.

I have feedback to the technical team over at hive and they responded that the speed was normal from their end. They have also tried to move me to another server and still the same. So, if they can’t work it out for me, I will work it out with other host. Then again, moving host is like moving home, full with ordeals. So, if you are looking for a host, do ensure you want to stay with them for long, else, it is much hassle to migrate. Like all moving homes events, there are head aches at every steps. Hey, maybe there is a business for this, professional moving, where we do the work, you just relax at the beach or listen to your favorite tune without any worry. Once done, we will notify you of your new password, etc.. sounds like a plan…

For the avid windows theme lovers, this would be a nice addition to your Summer collections. The watercolor blue just reminds of the nice summer sky that screams at you to leave the PC and get out to enjoy the sun.




Fix the leak first, then remove the subsidy

Well, its fine to remove the subsidy. It is fine to spend the money or future development. But what is not fine, is the leak of money that have been plaguing the country for so long. It is not right to pay 40 ringgit for a screw driver that cost only 2. Fix problems with inefficiency. Fix problems with incompetency. Heard of Cost Savings? Fix these problems first instead of ignoring it and allow the people to suffer or force the people to change the lifestyle or even worst punish them for not believing in your ideology. Raja Petra is right. We need to be angry on the right things. And I am pissed for the fact that the people in charge are not focusing on the right problems. Elevate the people’s sufferings, not adding to them. Where is the sense in that? All these goes to show how blind they are to the real situation. How incompetent they are to lead us. For those who are still caught up by all the racy issues, wake up. This transcend race, this transcend gender, this affects us all. Is it right to pay 10 times more just because one can do so, while the people suffer? The answer is no, it is not right. And these are things that we should be angry about.

Oh, by the way, today sees the highest jump in fuel price in Malaysia, > 40%, one day the future generations will read about this in Sejarah. If its not in the text book, atleast my blog will serve as a history testament, of how I and the generally overall felt on this day.
