A New Blog

That's right, folks. This blog of mine has a new title & a new bloglink. Unfortunately, some random dude has immediately snatched up my old address, so I think I'll have to rebuild my reader base all over again. And that might be a good thing too. After all, I do have a new name.
Why the new name? Well, it just inspires me to write. I suppose it serves as a new motivation for me to express myself with words again. Thinking about the new blog title itself has inspired many many materials. And I'm really excited about it.


So why haven't I blogged lately? Well, my blogging mojo is at a halt because my neighbour has ceased to provide me with free WIFI (God bless him), and I have just recently purchased a new connection. It's IzziYou - a 4G wiredless broadband thing, something very new on the market. You can check it out at www.izzi.com.my. I just hope I didn't jump onto the bandwagon too early. My house has no phone line, so adding that to the Streamyx subscription, the cost is about the same as Izzi. The fact that Izzi is mobile made it a simple choice for me. The device is as big as a mobile phone, maybe half as heavy.


Anyway, back to the reason why I haven't been blogging as frequent as I wished. Well, simply, the connection speed is very slow. It's so slow that sometimes I can't open my gmail or blogger. It's so slow that I did a speedtest provided by their website, and there were several times where the test couldn't be completed. And when there was a result, I took a screen shot of it, but it's so slow that I am unable to show it to you here. That's right, I am no longer able to upload any photos or videos online. To a blogger & vlogger like myself, that's huge.


But I'm still giving Izzi a chance. I called the hotline today, and the customer service rep was kind enough to call me back (I got no more credit). And somehow he managed to convince me that he'll be able to take all my connection blues away, & will extend my full-refund period (originally 1 week) until they stop trying. I think you can't ask for more.


So, until I'm able to post photos and videos, it's going to be just me and my words. Seems like I've not done that in a while. Thank you to all the readers who continue reading my blog & somehow find me more interesting than I really am.

hey where'd you be?? i'm on Old Klang Road and my Izzi is working fine enough, i even share it with 2 PC's one being the gateway, it's good enough for surfing & blogging, but not for games, we try to access games 2 pc at the same time and it's slow....very slow, it can't take the load. What's your bandwidth detection? if you get 100% it should be great
