My Longkang

Part 1 ( introduction )

I had an interesting chat on facebook today. This very energetic young person was commenting on my recent posts or to be more specific the lack of recent updates What is there for me to blog about?

Some of you might be wondering what is happening to my blog. The now you see it, now you don’t syndrome. It went off the air and to all intents and purposes seemed to have disappeared off cyber space.

I received a second warning from exabytes .

Hello Sir,

Can somebody please advise me further. I have done everything I can to solve this puzzle. I have taken note of all the advise given me in a previous post. I have disabled all plugins except akismet to keep out spam and google xml sitemap for blog searches. My traffic is not heavy or something to boast of. My pics are posted on google not on exabytes.

Exabytes is now advising me to upgrade to a higher packages such Semi D or VPS which of course requires a higher amount of investment which is ridiculous for a personal blog. Exabytes insists if this overloading persisted, they will suspend this website without further notice.

In the meantime, if you come to this website and this blog no longer exists, it will mean exabytes has disabled this website. Thank you all for your kind support to this website all this while.

Hello my dear friends and readers,

My blog was not accessible for some time today and after contacting Exabytes, I received this email

Kindly be informed that your domain ‘mylongkang.com’ has been found overloading the CPU Resources on the server. As the application is using a lot of server resources and affected other hosted.domains, I have changed the public_html folder permission to avoid public access.

In the meantime, I have enabled the permission, kindly have a check on your application.

I am not a techie kind of person. Perhaps some of you might have an idea of what this means? What must I do? Thank you.

Since I shifted my blog from a US based webhost to a local webhost, I lost quite a lot of hits from the US and other far away countries. Instead the composition of hits has come to include mainly nearby countris ->Singapore, Malaysia and India among others

Some of you may not know this but I can speak the hockkien dialect. I especially love the Penang hockkien dialect. It is sometimes a sing-song thingy with slang words like ah, meh, huh etc. You can detect a person from Penang just by listening to the way he speaks hockkien.

I am writing this to share with you all my hacker experience and hope we all can learn a lesson from it. No excuses. I have been slack in terms of anti-viruses in the past. I do not quite understand how the hacker managed to hack into my computer.

For the first time in history, a bloggers’ meet was organized in Sibu. It was easy as the number interested was small. Many bloggers prefer to remain anonymous.

It was great, clean fun. Altogether there were seven of us, jam, monkey wong, bengbeng,alvinchong, clare, benghui, and thomas

We had hoped for crabs and ordered 2 kg but it seems crabs were not in season due to the holiday season.
