MIGRATED

Sudah pindah. Moved. Migrated. TV Smith's
Dua Sen has migrated to a brand new domain
(tvsmith.net.my)
and server effective today. Please update
your bookmarks and links. Don't worry if
you can't do it immediately; the old links
still work though. All visitors will be
automatically directed here, page for page,
including deep links. It should be a totally
transparent experience for the user. Take
a look at your browser address bar above.
Let me know if it still shows the old url.
The existing RSS feeds should work too.
Dua Sen started life in 1999 at my Geocities
site (of 1998 - 2001) and was hosted
in Malaysia
Central since 2003. The explosive
traffic growth at MyCen
coupled with the popularity of this blog
pushed its server to the limits. As such,
I decided to assign a separate server to
Dua Sen. With more space and
bandwidth available now, I hope to post
more articles and present more of those
bandwidth-chewing pictures.
As an example, the recent Japan
GT girls consumed over 60 gb of
bandwidth during its first few weeks, exceeding
500,000 page views. Belly buttons sell in
Malaysia, apparently. The government also
unwittingly promoted traffic when it took
aim at local blogs recently.
I have decided too, to host the blog locally
(at Cyberjaya) and use a Malaysian government
controlled domain name registrar despite
the misguided attempts to persecute local
bloggers with alternative views. Unlike
the mainstream media, most of us bloggers
write without any agenda nor do we serve
any political masters. All we do is voice
our thoughts on the things happening around
us. It's our country too; in case the politicians
forget.
Our conscience is clear, so come hit us
with your ISA, OSA, Sedition Act and proxy
prosecution, if you must. What's more troubling
is the 'saber rattling' will only drive
more blogs underground and trigger a new
wave of anonymous blogs hosted outside the
country. Why not embrace bloggers like how
you embraced
the much more menacing Mat
Rempit?
Meanwhile, life goes on. I have been missing
for a while, I know. I'm embarking on an
exciting and ambitious new feature at Malaysia
Central. (Edit - launched: see
here) Once that is launched,
regular programming here should resume.
Take care.
