Anime Freak vs DotA Freak
I have my MSN logs all my chat. My brother and I both are using MSN to communicate with our friends. We added each other too, to ease communication, since he’s upstairs most of the time and I am at the living room.
It just so happen I doing some spring cleaning on my PC just now. And I decided to deleted these chat logs to free up disk spaces on this PC. And I opened up the chat log between my brother and I. And here’s what I can see on the log:
My Bro: no dl. i wan dota.
Me: okok

My Bro: i wan gaming, no dl.
Me: sure.
*****
My Bro: no dl pls thx
Me: ok

My Bro: no dl no dl no dl
Me: okokokok
*****
My Bro: i wan gaming. stop dl.
Me: right..
*****
My Bro: stop dl, i wan dota…
Me: ok..
And it goes on and on….
This is what you get when you get a anime-freak and a dota-freak. X/

Valentine’s Day
It’s almost Valentine’s Day. This is another normal day for me. Being single isn’t cool, when days like this come, isn’t it?
I always wonder, why does everyone goes lovey-dovey in this particular day? Why do sweets and chocolates have to do with this day? Why 14th February when there’s another 365 days to show your love to your love ones? What is the White Day celebrated by the Japanese?
Due to my curiosity, I did some searching at the WikiPedia.

Migration and Upgrades
My site suffers a lot of downtime, due to a unreliable host. Because of the very frequent downtime and sometime suffers a very slow page loading, I decided to move to another host. Now, I am on a host using their free plan (no longer available though).
I have an account here since I first started to blog, when I was still using CuteNews as a blogging engine. So, it’s like already around 3 years, and this host is still standing! Reliability, that’s what I want.
Since I am doing migration, I decided to do upgrades to my wordpress as well. Now Clueless Dream is running Wordpress 2.0.1. I just love the new interface and the speed, thanks to AJAXified and the new built-in caching system. I just love WP2.
Expect some Valentine related post in this few days. I’ve been doing research, and this is the first time I take around 3 days to type an entry. It’s not long, it’s just informative and filled with my research about this lovey-dovey day. I’m just bored, and besides, I have a dateless Valentine’s Day anyways.

Clueless Dream Is Back Online
Just as I ping my previous post to PPS, my site was down for more than a day. My webhost just got back online few hours ago. I’m glad I didn’t lose any post. 
As for now, I am looking for free hosting. 
I don’t know why I don’t want to pay for hosting. I find paying USD9.95 for my domain is killing, what more to say about hosting.

Porn Download vs Anime Download
I am big fan of anime. I download most fansubs from the popular Scarywater public tracker. I normally got updated to new anime from AnimeSuki and TokyoToshokan. So far, I am following around 5 new anime series, while having around 15 completed series. Dang, I have to waste more money on CDs.
Anyway, my brother recently found this porn private tracker and has been downloaded porn since then. Me and my brother is sharing internet connection, I’m on cable and he’s on wireless, using a Linksys WRT54G router. Unlike LiewCF’s, mine is still working fine after few weeks working. Looks like mine is more durable 
Well, now I kept getting timeout problems. At first I thought it was TMNet’s fault. It turn out to be my router’s problem. Whenever my brother download porn, I can’t even ping to my router. Pinging to 192.168.1.1 returns a 100% timeout. It’s weird because whenever I download anime, I can still surf, though slower than usual.
So, here’s what I suspect what could have cause the problem.
1. BitComet vs uTorrent.
My brother uses Bitcomet. I’m using uTorrent. Maybe Bitcomet is a big time bandwidth hogger when torrenting.
2. High-end PC vs Low-end PC
My brother is using a Pentium 4. I am on Pentium 3. Maybe his powerful PC hogs all my router’s resource until my PC can’t even communicate to my Router.
3. Wireless vs Cable
I’m on cable port. He’s on wireless. Maybe my router is tired working with wireless, and then the router might not have enough power to work with cable.
4. Porn vs Anime
Maybe the router is bias. Maybe the router hate it when my brother downloaded too much porn until he’s force to stop the download in order to surf.
Weird right? When I download anime, it’s OK for both of us. We can still surf, and my brother can even play online games. When he download porn, both of us can’t surf, both of us suffers timeouts. Argh, stupid router.
