Chess.maribelajar.com suspended
This is one message I hate to see..
That’s my MariBelajar.com domain. The effect is that all the chess publisher diagrams that was hosted there is inaccesible and is replaced with the message above. This is bad as many websites use the original Chess Publisher. Susan Polgar regularly uses it for her blog.
I’m getting [...]

Last minute reminders
Tomorrow is new year’s eve and there are two important reminders to chess fans:-
Chessmate Academy Scholarship

Keeping GilaChess afloat
Just received the invoice for GilaChess.com and Maribelajar.com webhosting. The billed amount comes out to RM 700++ !! Shocker. I totally forgot about it until Exabyte shut down my MariBelajar domain just now. GilaChess.com is next on the chopping block as it is set to expire on 31st Dec. With my extra spendings [...]
Dopod 818 pro
Enough of just talking about “I want this or that PDA”!. I’m getting this from Masros 2nd hand. It’s better than the iPaq 2200 because it’s a PDA as well as a phone. My current Sony Ericson phone is bad and I’ve frequently miss calls because of it.

Getting lazier
I wanted badly to go to the RSC today but was too bogged down with work. That’s my fault for falling behind again. Still trying to get into the rhythm of programming again.
Anyway I called Jax by using Skype’s computer to phone feature and recorded him reading out the results. Why write it down [...]
