Hey readers, I was bored and decided to post some boring crap about me 
So bear with it and if your don’t feel like reading anymore, then ALT+F4 is always there for a reason.
My name is Theodore, if you havent already noticed in some of the posts made earlier by Ian/MrSaints. Though many people in my school call me Teddy for some reason… Dunno why though. I’m cute? Ok, I live in Singapore a.k.a, Little Red Dot, Lion City and am currently studying in Victoria School. I’m 14, and in Secondary 2. Which is probably America/Canada’s equivalent of High School or grade 10 or something.
In my free time I enjoy reading , writing, blogging (here only), learning how to code, playing Team Fortress 2 and GMod. I first noticed Ian when I saw his awesome proness in PHP/HTML coding. Not to mention JavaScript and Java. And so I got to know him, and here I am today due to his generosity . I also like Warez , and am currently double booting Vista and Windows 7, after a few days of trying to partition and almost losing everything in my computer.
My mother is an English teacher, explaining my love of reading and writing. My father works in the company that organises the bi-annual (me thinks) Motorshow in Singapore. So be sure to catch it. I’ll get you free passes xD
Hopefully, this has given you a short glipmse into my life, and I hope to hear from you guys soon.
Add me on MSN, Facebook and Twitter!

Iz All Abut Ze Pirates, Arh!
For those that were a little behind on the news, its Happy International ‘Talk Like A Pirate’ Day. Also, in other news, The Pirate Bay is in full support of OpenInternet.se, so all the best for them in keeping The Pirate Bay alive! So, before you continue reading, make a Tweet about it on Twitter or go to Facebook now and set your language preference to English (Pirate) BETA.
As you may have already known, this major online event and possibly ‘reality’ of ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ is the talk of the day. Its officially a Twitter trending topic and there’s even official sites for it. For those that wish to find out about the ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ origin, here is a small abstract from Wikipedia’s article, it seems that this year it has become a more international online movement than before.
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy), of Albany, Oregon,[1] who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.[1] For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with “Hello,” but with “Ahoy, me hearty!” The holiday, and its observance, springs from a romanticized view of the Golden Age of Piracy. The holiday is a major observance in the parody religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
From Wikipedia – International Talk Like A Pirate Day
Yes, like the Wikipedia article says, its just a parodic holiday, and perhaps an international online meme. And as with events like these, it gives owners for MMOs, Online Services, etc a chance to setup promotions and offers to celebrate the occassion.
Several MMOs, such as World of Warcraft, Kingdom of Loathing, Lord of the Rings Online and Guild Wars have introduced special events for the day, permitting characters to receive special appearances or special in-game prizes or drops.[17]
From Wikipedia – International Talk Like A Pirate Day
Personally, I would be setting up a few hosting packages for this, but seeing as I have already put one out for the September Promotion, I don’t think thats necessary. Well, why is it so popular? and a global phenomenon?
Well, like most other things that have taken off in the last few years, it’s the Internet that’s fueled it. Although it hasn’t amassed the 126 million times the “Evolution of Dance” video has been watched, there are more than 1,500 “Talk Like a Pirate” videos on YouTube, and more than 12 million websites dedicated in some way to the holiday.
Read More About It Here.
In other news, the Pirate Bay has a new facelift on the homepage with OpenInternet’s logo, and if you have the time, be sure to check out their website as they have put up a few FAQs, especially relevant to online crime (cybercrime). As far as I’m concern, the whole rumour of Pirate Bay being a paid service or having some form of payment is not true, it remains a public tracker and is still accessible for many. Their recent blog article talks about the ’support to stop people like Monique Wasted and Peter Dworsky from abusing and harassing ISP:s and small business owners, costing them hundreds of thousands in legal costs’ too, so long live OpenInternet.se and The Pirate Bay! It currently has over 280+ comments.
The Black Internet case was just the first step to eradicate the Pirate Bay, but it has not stop it and lets hope they’ll continue (: For the moment, there isn’t much news about the Pirate Bay being bought over, as far as I can see, the buyer is facing a few setbacks, primarily due to the fact they can’t actually afford it! See Here.
Remember to check out Aerosol Studios affiliate sites including Aerosol Hostings and our future Frozone Networks now known as Aerosol Networks. I’ll be online all day, so remember to leave me a Twitter reply @MrSaints. Happy ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ and long live The Pirate Bay.
Please also welcome our new bloggers Flipps and Yui as well as Theodore (whom is quiet at the moment), hopefully they will spend some time to introduce themselves too! Welcome aboard guys!
Tagging FTW! And credits to the success of this article and any in the future to all the links specified above (See Here bits).
Facebook Lite
Posted by MrSaints in Spotlight Monday, 14 September 2009 01:36 No Comments
Its accessible. Its clean. Its sleak. Simply what is it? Its Facebook Lite.
Located at the most obvious subdomain: http://lite.facebook.com/, The all new FACEBOOK LITE lets you see updates, photos and videos in the most simplest way you can think of. It is officially live! So do check it out.
Sources: Google.com, Twitter.com, Facebook Developers.
Instead of ‘me’, writing an article on it, be sure to check it out yourself and see:
http://mashable.com/2009/09/10/facebook-lite-live/ as well as…
http://mashable.com/2009/08/12/facebook-lite-screenshots/
Mashable is just great, so you don’t need me to explain why.
Refer espcially to this:
4. What’s the point of Facebook Lite?
A: Speculation says it’s a direct assault on Twitter. Facebook continues to find ways to make itself competitive with Twitter. This is why Facebook has been launching features such as public profiles, profile fans, public status updates, and realtime search. Twitter is simple, so Facebook’s fighting back with the same.
I really do agree to this in some sense and think its a major move for Facebook considering the fact its almost one of the most dominating networking sites not packing together almost everything! From entertainment, to chatting, to catching up with old friends and plain e-meeting.
EDIT: To some degree I may have to agree with the speculations regarding Facebook attempt to reach its target audience and gain more users through the new Facebook Lite, as well as the incredibly obvious ‘tag’ feature that almost ‘SEEMS LIKE’ Twitter’s @UserHere feature. Wow? Why the sudden change Facebook?
To tag someone, type @ and then the friend’s name
Anyhow, thats part of life!
Its Facebook stripped down to its skin, but still keeping its cool. Its 1.34am for me, so i’m out, peace.
View, Rate, Comment, Advise (:
Its your world.
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.
Ahahaha GNAA Last Measure.

Lol I thought I should blog about this, bored anyways. For those who clicked “the link”, it was cool wasn’t it lol? Well I’m not going to post it anymore and you can trust me that the next few links I post in the future will be cleaned 
I had no intentions of having it to go onto Facebook but somehow (Yes, thanks to an application) the facebook grabbed my tweets and posted it as a message on Facebook which I forgot to remove in time (Sorry Wei Chang).
Besides that, I take no responsibility if you wish to cry to your parents and complain. Its the internet and I did not admit ownership of such link or otherwise admit the fact I posted it with intentions or reasons kthnxbai.
So on to real stuff, at the bottom of this blog post will be logs of the people who were pranked by this and had their web browser completely obilerated by Gay P**n and random alert boxes. Or for those who were using Google Chrome and had multiple processes starting up.
Anyways, ThemeForest just added a new subsection for 404 Pages and Under Construction pages, pretty cool I must admit, so be sure to check that out if your interested: Click Here or…

For those who haven’t seen my awesome Boxxy 404 error page or my Hosting suspended page. Haha you should
Its what I called, “Creative 3 Minute Job”.
Test 404 Page Lol. For those who fear my random links, I have posted an image of it at the bottom with the rest of the gallery in this post.
Suspended page - http://www.aerosolhost.com/suspended.page/
Haha so anyways, for those interested in seeing the log itself, its here or…

And I just realized how many links I have used in this blog post. Oh well. Moving on.
School starts next week and this felt like the shortest summer ever, didn’t get a chance to do anything yet though (well the main stuff). And probably I should stop wasting time and get back to work :S (Haven’t been doing serious work for a while now).
Lol I’m scared to check my school student mail, don’t ask why =D I’ll do that when school starts.
Hmmm… what else. Ahh… Aerosol Hosting is doing fine as usual, we have an awesome forum at http://www.frozonenetworks.com/ (Yes its a clean link I’m not kidding). Besides that, the offers doesn’t seem to be raped yet so I’ll just wait on it.
Making a new post soon maybe?
Byebye for now.
EDIT: One last thing. My attempt at shoving random Adsense blocks on Error pages seems to be working! LOL, oh yeaaa.
