28th June 2009 - Sarawak closer to producing anti-HIV, cancer drugs

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:52:20 +0800

Sarawak closer to producing anti-HIV, cancer drugs

MIRI: Two researches carried out by the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) on drugs obtained from local plant species to fight Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and cancer were now in their final stages.

The anti-HIV drug, obtained from Calanolide which is contained in the latex of Bintangor or Calophyllum tree, was now in the clinical trial stage that, among others, would test its side-effects before the drug could be available commercially.

The tests would still take sometime to be completed and would be carried out in collaboration with foreign researchers.

Server Upgrades Imminent

Mon, 9 Feb 2009 13:48:32 +0800

As some of you might have noticed our server isn't exactly having a stellar uptime performance lately due to an increase of hits each day, which resulted in many crashes and bad performance as of late.

We will be performing some server upgrades during these few days to compensate increase in server use very soon. Please stay tuned.

Had a Bit of an Issue..

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 13:07:20 +0800

Just to update you readers on MiriResortCity.com where we had an issue where it was showing blank pages for a while - it was a bit of a database issue but we've since fixed it, we had to reverted to a backup to do so.

If you've just made a comment between 22nd Jan & 24th Jan, please do so again as the rollback on the database would've wiped it off the Universe.

Line goes dead, idiocy ensues.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:07:15 +0800

Around midnight last night, the connection to our server dropped dead for no reason. No amount of effort will resurrect it - the line went dead out of our control.

What's left to rant about? Having a bad connection and having a downtime of half a day is bad enough, but having the ISP not having a clue as to what is happening and still insisting the blame is on our side?

What ticks me off is that the tech support we called never bothers to record what we've mentioned. We've already stated from the very beginning over the phone that we used multiple hardware to try to resurrect the line - which by then was very obvious that the problem did not stem from our hardware at all, as our neighbors were also experiencing the same thing happening as well (as if this isn't enough of a clue that it is not isolated to our hardware?)

What happened next was they sent a techie to call me up and ask me all the repeated questions - turn modem on/off, change to direct connection, get rid of splitters, check your pulse, take a urine sample, etc. Why wasn't what we said earlier recorded so they don't start wasting both our time? They can't even deduce that the connection problem is AREA-wide, seeing that our neighbors also complained. That's just really, really, unsystematic of them.

And to think that business users actually pay more than double for the same package for home users.
