Scum of the Internet (an update)
Advertlets.com has put up an apology letter on their blog. I really do feel sorry for these folks, but I'm proud of the way they handled the whole situation.
I'm definitely gonna remain a customer, but I'll put back the ad-code only in another day or two, while their updated DNS information propagates and stabilises.
Meanwhile, there may be less updates from me at the moment because I'm working on a very secret pet project...

January 7th, 2008 at 5:27 pm hmm well, just clicked on the link and their site's being directed to the ad site too. ohh well, mistakes are inevitable, perhaps just give them some time to restore stuffs back to norm.
hmm... feeling mysterious? jiayou in whatever you're doing then! ^^
January 7th, 2008 at 8:49 pm secret pet project?
sounds ... interesting!
hah. anything pertaining to pets or kids should be interesting.
good to hear that you are engaged in more projects! :)
January 8th, 2008 at 11:57 am I don't know about you... but I never had a good feeling about Advertlets. This incident stemmed from a very fundamental basic for an Internet vendor. Haha, maybe I am biased, but I think I will stick to the other network for now.
And pray tell us about your pet project!
January 8th, 2008 at 12:04 pm meikian>> haha yes i am feeling mysterious 8)
michelle>> yeah i'm quite excited about it, but um... it has nothing to do with pets leh...
raz>> yeah you're right, i mean, even for myself, domain renewal is one of the fundamental stuff that should never be taken for granted, much less from an internet advertising company! and besides, the partner they used resorted to unethical methods of promotion, i.e. page hijacking. but still... i will monitor the situation lah. am thinking about the exclusitivity thing, but it has been very very quiet on nuffnang side of late.
January 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pm Hmmm... maybe I should do a post whether bloggers should go exclusive on either ad network.
January 8th, 2008 at 2:46 pm HELLO (:
JIAYOUS for everything (:
January 8th, 2008 at 4:31 pm ooh... pet project. I wonder what's it about... haha
January 8th, 2008 at 5:05 pm Hi Nat
The recent departured of a Media Corp Star was a sad story. It reminds me of my late father also. He also passed away in a very sudden manner. And he was so health, no sign of any illness. I will never forget 3 January 2004, I received a call , telling me that they saw a man who looks like my father, fainted in the coffe shop while eating lunch, I rushed to the hospital and told the nurse what has happened, she asked me to be cool and followed her to a special room, I thought my father was just resting in the room, but when the nurse opened the door, I saw a man was covered with white clothes........ I broke down ....... I called him but he has no response........It was not a easy job to overcome the pain which he has left behind us, I hide all his photos, belongings, because each time when I see all these things, it will reminds me of the pain.......I know he will never be with us anymore. But I am glad, because he passed away without any suffering and is now happily re-union with my grandfather and grandmother ( His parents )in the haven.
January 8th, 2008 at 5:42 pm Lee Khim>> Sorry to hear about your story. Actually, there's no need to hide the photos and belongings and everything. The people we love will continue to live on inside our hearts and memories...
January 8th, 2008 at 8:27 pm Nothing to do with pets?

January 9th, 2008 at 2:08 am Lee Khim... im also sorry for the loss of ur dad. My dad passed away in 2005. Though he had cancer but the doctor told us he is doing a lot better but still in the end he pass away suddenly and it was like i was with him in the hospital the night before and he was looking so great and lively... but things just happens and its all fated. Honestly, no matter how well u keep his things away, he is still owis in ur heart and its something that can never be hide away. Just remember, treasure everyone you love now before its late.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:59 am Hi Nat and Ah Lao
Thank you for your kind advised. You are right, he is my dad, and will always be in my heart. They say life is like a circle. He left in a sudden way, and I reaslied that I have a lot of questions that I didn't even have the time to ask him before he passed away. And so I started to do those things which I always wanted to do but never have the time to do. Thank you Nat and Ah Lao, wishing both of you have a nice day.
