My friend called me today, 30th Sept 2009 and told me there is an Earthquake at his work place, in PJ and everyone was ordered to evacuate the building immediately.
The time was 6.27pm. I was at a cafe with some friends having coffee.
Shortly after that, this girl walking towards the cafe and told the cafe owner (who is also her friend) that she can feel the vibration and it just nearby here, in Melaka Raya.
I had this experience before, its about a couple of years back.
It happened at night, around 12 midnight, while I was sitting at home watching TV and I felt some giddiness. I stood up and still felt the same. I moved my head, to the left and right.
I didn't notice anything was wrong until I saw a big wave in my aquarium.
The first thing that came into my mind was " Earthquake " and I ask myself Earthquake is here? in Malaysia? impossible.
I ran down immediately and look up at my apartment. This is funny coz I didn't see the building is falling down. I was the only one down there and I see nobody else.
Later, I saw all the neighbour from my next door condominium occupying the condominium entrance door. All sitting there, some drove off the stay with their relatives and friends.

Wireless At Home
If you want to surf at home, going online from the comfort of your own home and most people love to do so, what should you do?
Before you ask someone to just come to your house to fix it, you might want to know what kind or which gadgets to use.
I learnt from someone who is in this line, make sure you choose this Modem / Router:
1) ADSL2+
2) Wireless-N Broadband Router
(Give more priority to mobile calls while other family members at home might be busy downloading music, video or games, etc...)
Most home is using Wireless-G Broadband Router.
It has a very good speed.

WiWi
Three WiMAX licensees are deploying "WiWi" - a hybrid of WiMAX and WiFi wireless broadband technologies - developed by applied-research institute Mimos Bhd.
The licensees are Redtone International Bhd, Packet One Networks (P1) Sdn Bhd and Asiaspace Sdn Bhd. They are three of the four WiMAX licensees in the country.
Datuk Abdul Wahab, Mimos President and Chief Executive said, WiWi is more feasible and cheaper alternative for last-mile connectivity. "It enables the users of WiFi to connect to the internet at WiMAX broadband speeds.
"Last mile" refers to the final segment between an Internet or communication service provider's infrastructure and a subscriber's premises. The gap is traditionally bridged by a wired connection, such as copper phone lines.
In recent years, service providers have turned to wireless technologies to bridge the gap, since copper lines are more expensive to lay and sometimes aren't feasible, such as in the case of isolated communities.
Mimos' WiWi technology takes the wider coverage of a WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) setup and links it to the cheaper WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) system to make the last mile connection.
Using WiMAX technology exclusively would be very expensive at this point of time, while WiFi just doesn't have the broadcast reach for such an expansive application.
Also, most computers and other Internet-enabled gadgets now are set up for WiFi connections instead of WiMAX, the specifications of which are still being standardised.
WiWi provides plug-and-play broadband hotspots and can enable multiple PCs to access the Internet via a single WiFi connection.
It will also be easier, cheaper and faster to connect hotels, universities, schools, convention centres and rural communities to wireless broadband with WiWi.
Mimos also claimed that WiWi's multicasting capability enables the technology to support high-quality Internet Protocol TV services.
Michael Lai, CEO of P1, said the company sees much merit in using the hybrid technology to help bridge the "digital divide," that gap between the technology haves and have-nots in the country.
We will try it at the P1 Community Broadband Centre (CBC) in Chini Timur, Pahang," he said.
P1's CBC was developed as a proof-of-concept telecentre for underserved areas.
On the other hand, Asiaspace and Redtone are looking at deploying WiWi in urban centres and will only take it to the rural areas later.

100 Free WiFi hotspots in Penang
I like to put the news in point form,
Just 5 months after the launch of the REDtone Penang Free WiFi Service Project, there are already 100 FREE WiFi hotspots in the state covering major shopping complexes and some public areas in the city centre.
REDtone is ready to roll-out its 2nd Phase to cover 250 more hotspots.
Currently : 10,000 registered users since the launch in March
Expectation : to see three-fold, increase to 30,000 registered users by the end of this year.
They hope to cover locations like:
-Batu Ferringhi
-Tanjung Bungah
-Pulau Tikus
-Jalan Raja Uda in Butterworth
-Bukit Mertajam
The company's plan to have a total of 750 free WiFi hotspots covering both the island and Seberang Perai by December next year.
Chief Minister, Lim, who launched the roll-out of Phase 2 of the project, said "With this project, we hope to enhance the broadband penetration in the state and perhaps in two years, rural areas will have the free WiFi service.
With free WiFi, we hope to transform Penang from sweatshop of manufacturing sector into a smartshop of the service industry.
