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…

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.
Fuck my ISP… Its on!

Ever had one of those days where you totally just hate the connection speed of your internet or the constant downtimes and your 100% definite its the damn ISP’s fault again? Well fuck them. Lets make use of them to our fullest potential. If your internet service has a capped bandwidth, I do urge you to use as much of it as possible (to the max is preffable), if yours is one of those uncapped and unmetered ones, time to go hardcore.
This is in no proper or ranked order.
If your usage in GB is not above 80MB per DAY; you seriously need to use your internet more, or why pay for it?
Lets use our internet service PROPERLY.
- To use your Internet properly, you should had (or at least in the past), at least download one TORRENT. If you did, congratufuckinglations. Time to crank up your uTorrent, BitTorrent or whatever and put another 10 downloads into the que.
- There’s no point getting an internet service from an ISP if you don’t use it for 21st Century technologies such as IM (Instant Messaging such as MSN), Networking (I.E. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter…) or maybe even VoIP (I.E. Skype).
These services consumes your bandwidth too! - Run servers on your computer. One of easiest way to consume as much as bandwidth as you can is hosting servers. From Web Servers to Game Servers, its up to you. If you have a powerful computer and a nice Uptime/Downtime, time to open up your own hosting services and see your damn ISP gasps over the blazing high bandwidth usage (just don’t get caught!).
- Download as much shit as you can before you sleep. If your not the type that torrent, it won’t hurt to drag yourself to Warez websites and download some cracked applications or softwares. I highly discourage using illegal software, but at times it won’t hurt to cue a few 1~10 downloads at once? =] And leave it on even when your sleeping…
- DDOS attack! Ever saw a website you dislike? Or perhaps someone you want to get back at. Well as long as they have a completely weak shit web host or prevention measures, DDOS them to death! And see their website going down like the Hidenburg (this does consume a lot of bandwidth overtime!).
- YouTube… LimeWire… SHOUTcast. One thing I love about the internet now is that, its like everything in one! (besides being able to eat lol). Another way you can make good use of your internet is to watch YouTube videos or make downloads in LimeWire (as stated by #1 and #4). Or even managing your own Audio/Video streaming site or server (E.g. SHOUTcast. As mentioned in #3). Video/Audio streaming consumes loads of bandwidths.
- If your a guy, this is the best part. Porn. Yes. Nothings better than burning your bandwidth with entertainment; and there is no better way to do this than streaming one or perhaps downloading? (This is basically the same as 6). According to Alexa, in Malaysia (2008 I think), Pornhub was one of the most visited websites. =]
- Online Games. Oh boy… I recall the days when I played online games, the amount of sent/received bytes were off the chart (mostly MMORPGs and maybe even 3D games). If your not an MMO fan, just play Multiplayer FPS games like Counter Strike or even try out Battlefield, or for horror fans out there, you can go for Left 4 Dead (Haha, forgot to mention Warcraft – Dota).
I guess thats all the things you can do for now.
So fuck them over, and make proper use of the internet, even if its browsing eBay or a community forum.
Just Do It. And do it… A LOT.
Right now I have used around: 412MB.
In 10 hours.
Some updates!

It had been a while since I blogged much about nearly everything.
And as for everything, there is always a rational explanation! My computer was busted (:
Yes indeed. The motherboard malfunctioned so the display was blank and practically all other peripheral devices didn’t seem to work. Despite this unfortunate incident, its irrelevant to the lost of any particular data. Its just that I can’t access them.
So for a while, I couldn’t access much of my cPanel, WHM, Wordpress and nearly every other accounts besides networking accounts. That was because I saved all my passwords (which is different for each unique account – that isn’t related to networking!) into notepad. Thats why it took me kind of a while to recover, some of you would know that if you been following my Twitter.
Its finally the weekends and I slept for nearly the whole day on Friday after school; I was really tired. For the weekends… It might be quite heptic. I need to finish my English coursework by Tuesday and get a whole lot of web designing and graphics related work finished around the course of next week. But thats going to be an issue too, since its all on the other PC which is inaccessible (sent for repairs!).
Apart from that, I would just like to tell people, I’m no longer accepting anymore free designing requests. For one, I’m fed up of being taken advantage of (e.g. They hire me, design, kick me – without a logical explanation); I know I do this for most of my friends, but as friends you guys need to know your friends’ limits too. So after I finish all the current projects, I will not do anymore for anyone. Nope, it ain’t worth it. In fact, I might just deny some requests now.
I do however acknowledge Fung, Gerald, Jose and Kyle (: After all, you guys didn’t take advantage of me.
Also, I will be adding a new Wordpress and maybe… WHMCS template soon; its just that right now, my stupid FTP doesn’t seem to be working! ARGH. #$%^&*((*&^%@#$%^&!
I forgotten to mention… Anyone want to DJ on the Radio? I don’t have much time to manage it anyways. So feel free to tell me. You need WINAMP or something to broadcast music with. The rest of it, is up to you.
Sorry this post is lacking pictures, i’m using my labtop 
And its lagging.
If my FTP was working, I would had updated to 2.8 WP on this website, but at least I can try it on localhost 
Its awesome as usual.
