If you’re using Exabytes web hosting, their new important changes might effect your mail life a lot. Here’s except from the mail that I’ve received:

Dear Kheirul Aizat,

1. Email forwarding to Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail and other popular free
email provider

1.1. We will no longer permit email forwarding from your hosted email
account to any of the free email service providers (e.g.
tm.net.my,streamyx.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, aol.com,
rocketmail.com and so on) or any online groups (e.g. Google groups and
Yahoo groups) in our shared hosting mail server.

1.2. This is due to free email service provider has applied more
strict anti-spam policy in their mail server. Due to this issue, if
they detected many of our customers set their email account to forward
a copy of the email to the free email service providers. If the
account have a lot of email being send to the account, all the email
will be forwarded to his or her free email account and instead of
Yahoo detect it as an email, it detect the forwarding as attack on the
free email account. Due to that issue, the service provider will
block us from sending email to their email account.

1.3. Unfortunately, even though we are not responsible for this spam,
these service providers noted have repeatedly been blacklisting our
mail servers, causing legitimate email to be blocked.

1.4. In order provide a smooth email transaction between our mail
server and those email service providers, we decided to disallowed
customer from forward their email to the email service provider.

Gah! So, I can’t make my hosting forward my mails to my gmail anymore. Fine.

Thank GOD Google is awesome. Instead of asking my hosting to forward my mails, I just ask Google to “fetch” my mails.

Click here for more.

You can check your POP settings, in your Cpanel > Email Accounts > Configure Mail Client. You find something like this:

mailsetup

After you set it up, make sure you turn off your hosting forwarding settings, then test it out. It should work.

PS: /worship Google

I dunno since when but according to Google Earth Sightseer email I received few days back, it says Malaysia’s map is available now. Not the cincai one but a quite accurate one. Coolness. Seriously, since when?

Here’s some screenshot of MMU Melaka area

That was nothing compared to KL, lol.

/googling for Setapak

PS: Yes, I’m bored

Currently listening to “STORYWRITER” from “Eureka SeveN OST 1″
Currently cheating in C&C3

I’m a Hayao Miyazaki fan. I love all his work especially My Neighbor Totoro ( I even put Totoro into EMiNA’s membership card ). But I won’t go this far like this guy:

He’s cosplaying as Hayao Miyazaki. Speechless. I dunno whether this is stupid or cool, but it is funny to see one, lol. I’ve seen girls cosplaying as HYDE of L’arc~en~ciel but the cool factor is there. Maybe Hayao Miyazaki have the “legendary” factor. Heh.

QJ gave me this link: http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/event/comiket06/cm000017.html

PS: So, who’s cosplaying as me for next CF?

Currently TRYING TO STUDY

“Imagine an electronic page for each species of organism on Earth available everywhere by single access on command – E.O Wilson

The Encyclopedia of Life is a collaborative scientific effort led by the Field Museum of Natural History, Harvard University, Marine Biological Laboratory, Missouri Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Institution, and Biodiversity Heritage Library, a consortium including the core institutions and also the American Museum of Natural History (New York), Natural History Museum (London), New York Botanical Garden, and Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew). Ultimately, the Encyclopedia of Life will provide an online database for all 1.8 million species now known to live on Earth. When completed, http://www.eol.org will serve as a global biodiversity tool, providing scientists, policymakers, students, and citizens information they need to discover and protect the planet and encourage learning and conservation. – taken from EOL

This awesome project is expected to be ready to use by mid 2008. Check it out at http://www.eol.org/home.html

PS: I’M SUPPOSED TO STUDY! ARRGGHH!!!… nevermind, i’ll watch 1 episode of anime first…

Currently listening to “Chain” by “BACK-ON”
Currently waiting for something

Do you have a powerful computer at home? ( even if you don’t have one, no offense, keep on reading ). Ever wondered any other GOOD stuff your machine can do other than playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion at flawless 60 fps framerate for maximum setting ( even my PC can’t do that…)?

Ever heard of Folding@Home program? Yeah, if you heard of it, it’s THAT protein folding thing. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s NOT THAT lipat baju work that you do at home.

If you haven’t heard of it, no worries. I can try to summarize everything in one sentence: “Doing mankind a favor by just paying extra electricity bill”.

Interested? I can tell you more but I bet Wikipedia can explain things better than me :D. Here’s some related links.

Folding@Home
Protein Folding

“ Folding@home (also known as FAH) is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics simulations. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University’s Chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay S. Pande. Folding@home is one of the largest distributed computing projects. ”

Yep, everyone can join this ( yes, even you who’s using a Pentium III pc there ). It’s not a hassle at all. All you need to do is: Download, Install, Start. That’s all.

Basically, this is what the program will do: First, it will fetch it’s data first ( not that big ), then use your CPU to simulate protein folding ( takes hours per job usually ), then when it’s done it will submit it’s result to the database. That’s the cycle. Yes, your PC works like a part of a BIG supercomputer ( actually, IT IS something like that, but it’s called “supercluster” ).

The program will use a lot of your system resources, but usually participants only run the program when they’re not using the PC. Don’t worry, it wont affect your BT download. If you still wanna fold while using your PC, it’s your call. It won’t effect much if you’re doing light tasks like chatting, surfing, listening to music and writing with Microsoft Word. If you’re doing heavy duty tasks with Photoshop, rendering videos or playing ‘Elder Scroll’s IV: Oblivion’ with an expectation of playing it at a flawless 60fps WHILE folding in the background, forget it.

So, if you’re interested you can visit these sites:
http://folding.stanford.edu/ – Folding@Home’s official site ( must visit )
Folding@Malaysia – Malaysia’s Folding@Home Community ( a must visit too )

So, what are you waiting for? Start folding and help mankind to find a cure :D . We maybe not going to find a cure in short time but at least we are SPEEDING up the finding process a lot faster!

NOTE: You might have problems with the connection now due to the recent earthquake

PS: I’m folding using my X1950XTX GPU which claimed to be 20x-40x faster than CPU. Kewl huh? Read here for more

Currently listening to nothing
Currently just finished watching Silent Hill

Wanna be part of a time capsule? Yahoo has it’s own now, initiated by Jonathan Harris. Yeah, i know there’s other time capsule project you can join, but come on, this is Yahoo!

You can visit the site at http://timecapsule.yahoo.com
You better be quick doh. They accept submission for a month only and there’s only 26 days left.

Yahoo! Time Capsule

Yes, i tainted the time capsule with my lame picture. At least people in the future will use this as a solid evidence that i’m lame

PS: OMG! I WANNA KILL THE DIRECTOR OF SILENT HILL!
