Goodbye SHOUTcast! Hello BBC Radio! Ever since the university server had installed the Fortinet webfilter to the server, life in the campus turned out to be very tough. Somehow we (the USM students) felt like our rights had been violated. We are not allowed to have entertainment in our rooms. That's a farewell to mp3s and anime to me. Then a sudden twist of fate. A couple days ago, I just got a random hunch to search any internet radio available. Expectedly all are blocked with excuse of violation the internet usage policy. Then I hit on BBC Radio. Finally a working internet radio beyond the webfilter's constricting parameters. I look at a positive light into it - I can speak better in a London accent. Jolly good! That's not just the only one. The usage of Windows Live IM which was initially blocked, has finally being allowed to use. Great success. Thinking of such open-sky policy possibilities, I was swift to download Death Note anime episode but with no avail. Call it dumb luck as you like, I found a Death Note fan-based site offering downloads in zip files. For acknowledgment, only downloads in the form of zip files and PDFs (apparently) are allowed. A bummer there but I still can my weekly dose of anime (Death Note which I fancy nowadays). I may live in a rut now but blessing come down pouring on me now. I should b thankful for that.
As a point of fact, for me to blog at this moment is a miracle too, given that the internet connection was uninterrupted for throughout the weekend and I have my hand all tied up in my ongoing assignments and revision for my exams. All of these are due next weekend. The pain of reality. At least posting this blog will at least vent off some of the stress of these bundling tasks at hand.
Ps: What the hell?! L meets Kira?!
