scheduled outage

October 4, 2007 – 10:02 pm

This blog will not be accessible from 1am to 1.30am NZDST (UTC +13) this Sunday(7th October). This short outage window allows me to update the wordpress to the latest version, and try to find out a exact cause of a tiny error in the system.

It should not be a big deal.


DNS Resolve problem - unexpected outage

September 27, 2007 – 3:37 pm

As you may noticed, there was an unexpected outage around 12am to 2pm NZ time today. This whole site seems to be offlined and returns 404 error(page not found) on every page you requested.

Cause of the problem is still unclear and I’m investigating on it. It seems like a DNS resolve problem either from my host or my own error… not really sure about it, so if you see this blog go offlined again today or in the next few days, please don’t think of that the whole site is gone.

Other strange thing is that the IP of my site seems to has changed. If you are visiting this site from Mainland China, please leave a comment here so I know that this new IP is not blocked by GFW and still available in China, thank you.(Still accessible from mainland china,  thanks  for those who help confirmed this.)

I apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patient.

Hello world!

I need a break…

January 16, 2007 – 4:53 pm

It's the time for a break from this blog anyway.

Visit WordPress has become far more difficult after the Taiwan Earthquake cutted internet connection under the pacific, plus this is a great firewall blocked site, I took nearly an hour to just open the blog post page, which is terribly slow.

Imagine the time I need if I wanna upload more picture here?

I'll be off to Tibet from 17th for about a week. Hope the pacific line is fully restored after I come back, before that, I won't bother to cost whole day to upload photos here.

Also I am considering to open other blog inside the great firewall of china, otherwise blogging here from China will be the world's most time-killing process. If you have any good blog service provider inside china, give me a shout of name.
