MirC is an IRC chat client. DCC is short for direct client to client. You can use that function to send someone a file.

There's a whole stash of ebooks there that I want, no choice. It used to be quite good - can download files of hundreds of MB no problem, and there's a resume function.

We're talking about Maxis Landline Broadband lah, not wireless.

I only started having problems with my torrents and DCC on MIRC these past few days, and I think that was because of a virus or something else that corrupted my hard disk. Things are running again after a reinstall, though I still seem to be having some issues with DCC. Until then things were quite fast and smooth. The only problems I had were the occasional interruption of service because of some server issue which they generally sorted out within a few hours.

I had a maxis handphone number too, using a prepaid account, but I switched to Digi and have never thought of going back to Maxis after an awful experience I had with their service centre in Taman Tun - I couldn't use the credit on my prepaid card and they gave me the run around at the service centre and I never got my money back. I was extremely leery of signing up with Maxis when I moved to Puchong, but since I really had no choice in Taman Wawasan . . .

wah, donno worth it to switch or not. I'm paying RM88 now for the broadband and RM27 for the phone line. It's going to be worth my while to switch if the fibre thing is stable and they don't throttle p2p etc.

yayyy my torrents are back to full speed.

DayahKuComeL:

So if I take this package, I can call to any maxis number landline or mobile from my maxis landline? and If I switched my mobile number from DiGi to Maxis, all calls from my mobile will be free too? Will I need to keep paying the line charge for the mobile or will this be included in the package??

a bit interested liao. I can switch my DiGi postpaid line to Maxis right? Will I still have to pay any additional monthly fee to maintain this postpaid line?

I'm a bit very suspicious. So we sign a contract that says RM118 for 10mbps for what? 12 months? 24 months? then after that we pay the published rate of RM218 per month??

I'm going to stop going to mamak places from now on.

Here's why:

I was at Mafana just now, had a serving of Briyani, a piece of chicken, and three different types of vegetables. The bill came up to RM13.80 which I thought a bit much so I queried this at the cashier and he mumbled something and beckoned the waiter over. The waiter said: "Briyani, one yegg, one chicken, one vegetable 9.50. You take 3 vegetable, one vegetable two ringgit. 15 ringgit." I said this was unacceptable or something to that effect. Then they wrote it out on a piece of paper. Plain briyani = RM5.50. Chicken RM4.50. 3 vegetable = RM6. Total = RM16. I protested that they'd now come up with three totally different bills for me to pay. So the cashier said ok ok you pay 13 ringgit. I refused to pay that amount, gave him RM12 and said that was all I was going to pay (actually I wonder now why I gave him so much, the most I've ever paid for briyani was RM11 at Hasbuna, which is far better than Mafana).

Better stick to Chinese establishments from now on, and non-mamak banana-leaf joints.

permanent for 24 months or permanent forever?

Last time the Kok Siong nasi kandar quite cheap - I suppose because it is in a Chinese establishment.
But now a bit pricier liao.

Food seems to have gone up in price suddenly by at least 50 sen. I used to go to DG foodcourt now and then, but the Sarawak Laksa and the Kuetiauthng went up from RM5 to RM5.50, and the Looicha at Double D Bandar Puteri is now also RM5.50! Celaka the Reach Out Golden Mile.


Fingers crossed the nice nice chakuetiau at Left Out Puchong Utama is still RM4.

aisayman laidet I ohso want.

Oi!!! don't blow my cover! Anyway that wan long time ago, just after SPM.

Hash people leave paper trail everywhere, litterbugs!

To prove my point about not going to mamak places anymore, I had lunch at the Indian stall at Asia Café just now. I had white rice, yegg, three vegetable, a pappadam (soft liao) and some dal. RM5.50.

On another note, I asked at the maxis agent at IOI mall just now. Taman Wawasan don't have the fibre thingy yet so cannot register if you live there, and the RM118 is for the period of the contract only. Once the contract expires, it's anybody's guess what happens to the monthly fee. Maybe go down to RM88 kua.

Might try it one day - quite unlikely though - it's a long trek to get there. I've had the curry puffs, urundu vade and stuff from there, someone tapaued. Not bad. I think I'll stick to banana leaf places from now, on those occasions I want a change from Chinese. RM5-RM6++ will get you a basic package with the rice and the vege. That's all I normally have anyway.

Too pure no good lor.

Celebrity Fitness going to open at Setia Walk in July. I signed up recently when they were having a promotion - RM139 per month + RM109 one off processing fee, waive the joining fee. Donno still on or not the promotion.

You need to look carefully. Only the ADSL column is checked for addresses in Wawasan 2 and 4. The FTTH (whatever that stands for) column is not checked.

Just filled in the form for the fibre thingy at the maxis booth in TESCO. Got free gift some more. A notebook and something else, donno what it is.
