if you are viewing this page at the moment… please do yourself a favour and click the stop button  now!  i think you will have a lot of trouble loading any of the graphics anyways.  in fact, it will probably benefit me as well because uploading this data is totally killing the half-duplex 56k modem that is connected to psrv at the moment.

byebye internode – hello amnet.  hopefully this process won’t take as long as they say, and i should be back on a usable connection before the weekend .

in the mean time – does someone want to take a guess as to why when i restart apache, about 12 hosts instantly loaded my webpage?  Its as if they were constantly pinging my host…  I really should start blacklisting some hostranges.

peppy out

use whites instead?  i guess that works too :p

been levelling at majorus for quite constant and easy-made exp.  the cards just keep coming too – mino x3, majorus, khalitz amongst many others.  does good things for the bank account

Well, expanding on my last post – this week i will be moving from internode to amnet, upgrading my line speed from 512/512 to 8192/1024, and at the same time doubling my download quota.  in order for this to take place, we cannot make use of the “churn” deal and get instantly swapped, as i will be moving from telstra hardware to amnet’s own dslam.  this means a 7~10 day turnaround operation, which will involve a temporary dialup connection to keep sanity during this time.

i guess its for the best – even if i didn’t plan on the isp swap, i would have exceeded my download quota today and be shaped to 64/64kbit for the next week.

its a pity our internet down here sucks so bad ^^;

its that time of year again!  kind of a last minute and short notice, but because im not churning this time around, i will be left without stable internets for up to 10 days.  say goodbye to psrv for a bit ><  might try and get a temp host up or something…zzz

I decided last weekend that i needed to check up on my jRO account – just to make sure everything was still intact and gungho hadn’t banned me for some random reason.

i was greeted by a couple of new members in 神虹 and found out we had a puro castle. so i went to find maya. and it was at this point that i realised there was a new addition to the… gayity that is gungho’s nerfing of ro – you could no longer use any skills while the teleport window is up. this means no precasting whatsoever..

needless to say – that was the end of my journey on jRO.. and maybe what you could call a waste of a 1day ticket. ahh well.

still not satisfied, i was somehow conned into paying my iRO account by certain guild members. i guess this was going to be the only way to get my ro fix (especially after eAthena started giving random illegal exceptions when reading data files).

and so i put some work into my lowish puri. 71 to 77 in almost one hit – and quite enjoyable after a long period of not playing at all.

the real thing that brought back memories was an mvp trip organised spontaneously tonight. there are a lot of roaming mvps in iro it seems… although bapho and hatii seemed strangely absent.

playing a level77 puri in mvp battles really makes you feel useless at times…
