Tumblr is gangster.

Well, I obviously do not have much time to be blogging every now and again, so I guess I’ll start leaving this site to rot or perhaps make better use of it (Portfolio, perhaps? Forum?) So yea, I decided to go for something much more simpler in the lines of Micro Blogging (E.g. Twitter). But since Twitter only offers a 150 Words limit, I decided to try out Tumblr.

Since I’m not experiencing any problems with Tumblr so far and I’m actually having quite a bit of fun! I’ll continue using it, so byebye Wordpress. Hello Tumblr. I guess there’s nothing else much to say besides, Follow Me! On Tumblr + Twitter.
There’s nothing much better than seeing all these hilarious Tumblr posts and reblogging them.
If you’re interested in making some small contributions to the blog, please drop a comment and I’ll e-mail you regarding a few details. Besides, I’m quite fed up of all my previous posts (yeap yeap, they suck . I know).
Till next time, I’m signing off,
Ian Lai.
The Exam Post (post-exam post?)

Well its not really the end of my exams yet 
Only week one! There’s still week numéro deux leaving the rest of my weekend to a good advantage for me to revise (or leave things till Sunday as usual)! As you can see, I lost my creative juices lately as well as most of my inspiration (if you had notice the new and retarded logo on the top left of the blog). But no worries! I shall revamp this blog sooner or later.
Since I haven’t been posting for a long long time, I shall set this on spotlight category (: (it is a highlight is it not?). In short, I have spent the whole 5-Days of this week with no more than 5-Hours of proper rest. Increase in loss of hair and probably gained a few one or two pimples. FML. Yes. Exams. Although its only mocks, I have no idea why I’m taking it so seriously, P.S. Jafnee: Ms.Southall Notes!
One thing I’m really proud of now… my great collection of Biology and Chemistry notes for IGCSEs!
Oh, I forgot to mention, due to various obligations, I missed my one chance to “win” something from the Adobe Innovative Awards 2009. I can’t forgive myself till today. Seriously. But it’s the past, so I’ll have to just move on. Anyhow, I have installed LiteSpeed on my Netherlands server recently, and wow, a significant performance improvement (Yes, its only a 15-Days trial at the moment).
Previously, with suPHP, the RAM (Memory) usage was at an average 20% (If I’m not mistaken), but due to the way ’suPHP’ works, I often suffered High CPU Loads (for no apparent reasons) resulting in absolutely slow loading pages. Another factor I believe that has cause this is because of the I/O problems. With not much knownledge of the actual situation, I recompiled Apache and PHP into FastCGI mode (mod_fcgid). Yes, it was great at first, but many sites suffered random and unexaplainable problems. Sadly, it did not really help in terms of CPU reduction, even with nginx working as a reverse proxy. Which led me to my final solution, LiteSpeed.
So, Thank God It’s Friday! I have the rest of the day to fool around and sleep (yay!) .
Perhaps I should also get started on revision?
I won’t have time to update. Sooo don’t expect anything for a while

~Tenchi12 - For the amazing ’spotlight’ image taken from his DeviantArt.
I really find quite a lot of deviantArt images great pieces of art, thus I’ll continue using them to show people what I mean!
As usual, shout out to: Winn, Han Yang, Jafnee, Haren.
Byeee!
Do not ask me.

Inspite of my previous post (ages back) about some ‘Matahari Malam’ that exploited a security vulnerability on my school’s website and hacked it; I would like to make a small clarification that I have no involvement or knownledge of whatever happened yesterday (9/9/9).
The mere use of ‘Aerosol’ as a team name has no relevance to Aerosol Studios, and I take it that most of my close online friends would recognize that I do not have such capabilities to do so. So this is just a small clarification that, the use of this so-call ‘Team Aerosol’ has no LINKS, no RELEVANCE or in no way have anything to do with me, Aerosol Hostings, etc.
So stop with your random accussations (if you are). I do take a common interest in recognizing the issues the site may face or the issues its currently facing (just like many people would), but I do not in anyway consider abusing such flaws or going through the trouble of learning how to, hence, I do not bother about it. This site is publicly available and there is a high chance anyone could had stumble onto such site.
I must admit, it was really funny whilst it lasted when I heard about it through Facebook.
P.S. It would quite anger me seeing a small contribution I made to Moodle (yes, the logo) being defaced, so no.
I really didn’t know that :P

Well, hey all again. So sorry for the downtime, once again. Which was (some of you already know) due to the fact my hoster got hacked. Yes indeedy, but now that Aerosol Hostings is under the full management and ownership of me (Ian), backups are performed on every 1~3 days on an offsite location. Besides this, I’m working to bring back everything to normal as it was previously before all this incident occured. For now, I apologize for the downtime or lost of anything in the process (including many of my blog images). If there’s any errors, images not found, etc on my blog, please post a comment so I can fix it. So much work to do at the moment! (: Well see ya.
