According to one of themediaslut’s guildees, MMORPG is….

Mostly Men Online Role Playing Girls

Bet most men playing WOW would prefer looking at a female butt till lvl 60 than a guy’s butt..

Here’s wishing all themediaslut’s readers a Happy New Year from Malaysia..

According to NBL.com.au, Singapore Slingers did improve their fourth quarter game as they held the Taipan to a scoreless 6 minutes in that quarter.

However, it was the second quarter that gave the Taipan the win over the Slingers.

NBL.com.au :

The Taipans established a 10-point advantage in a dominant 34-22 second-quarter, which they held for much of the game until the final term.

The Slingers staged a thrilling comeback to start the fourth quarter, holding the home side scoreless for six minutes, before the Taipans pulled away to escape with the win.

While the new NSMen portal is now www.ns.sg, the old www.miw.com.sg has been given a revamp? Redesign? Resale?

This is two pertinent excerpts from their FAQ:

Q2. Why does MIW still exist if it is no longer the NSmen’s portal?
MIW.com.sg is a commercially owned portal and is operated by Green Dot Internet Services (GDIS).
This revamp is part of our efforts to offer more interesting, insightful and exciting content to meet the changing needs of Singaporean men.

Q9. What happens to my existing MIW account?
Your existing account will still be valid and you can login from 4 May onwards using your existing MIW Login ID and Password to participate in contests, voting features and forum discussions.

Will be asking them the extent of the data left on their database of NSMen accounts.

The geekyslut saw this letter recently and did a double take. Check out the date received and the subsequent "post marks".

A final cessation of operations notice came 17 days after its own postmark (*dubious*). Anybody using this email service seriously would be screwed left, right, centre, up and down. Where did it hang up? 17 days is a lot of time. Unfortunately, Hotmail, to which it went, does not show delivery headers. But before you blame Hotmail only, 17 days is years on the Internet.

A straw poll of five eligible male friends also turned up ???? about this email at all. Although many remember receiving a sealed snail mail about MIW going defunct.

It reminds this slut of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where the notices were "always there on display". Dube diligence, this slut says. What’s your take? Tell the sluts…

No, this is not bashing the Malaysian govt or its censors.

It’s a lamentation by film director Amir Muhammad, about how Berita Harian (MY) more or less single-handedly influenced the censors, LPF, to retract an approval for his movie, The Last Communist.

Other movies have been released in recent times, such as The Motorcycle Diaries, about Che Guevara.

The movie is a song-and-dance treatment of the life of Chin Peng, who caused much trouble for Malaysia (with Singapore) after WWII until the country’s independence.

As such, Muhammad’s is of the opinion that the paper is unfairly out for his blood.

To add to his argument, he said that his film had previously been approved, after painstakingly shown to a few choice parties, including one from the Malaysian Special Forces.

The moral of this story is once again about the power of the media – Berita Harian (MY) is an established paper in the country — and *then*, the new power of the people to talk back, via blogs such as Amir Muhammad’s, at http://lastcommunist.blogspot.com.

The fact that the blog spreaded the news more than the paper itself should convince you to the power of the blogs.

Here is also a review of the movie by a blogger.

Humans are still the weakest security link :D:D

"…the password needs to contain some digits. The password would look nicer (and easier to remember) when these digits are appended to the word. Even more, people are usually unimaginative here, and just append one digit, or in more complex cases, digit sequences like ‘123′ or ‘01′ or eventually their birthdate."

This slut’s not saying his own writings are top notch, but this really takes the cake!

"WiMax has been the slowest to role out and may end up being used in territories where wired networks have no reach because of its large coverage footprint’s ability to reach the last mile."

The former is a typo, ok forgivable. The latter is a slew of pet phrases all jumbled together!

=> "coverage" OR "footprint"

=> "reach the last mile"
huh? you don’t watch to only reach, but cover the last mile.

themediaslut will be away in KL for the May Day weekend so blogging will be very light till Tuesday.

themediaslut is away in KL over the weekend so posting on the site were be limited. 

Hopefully, Smartbrain and the slut replacement have tied up arrangements to bring  another round "live" posting of protest in Bangkok on Sunday night.

Photos of KL, Malaysia will be posted on Sunday, plus a new themediaslut look. 

One day while Boo was surfing the web (in between dozing off) Boo came across an article that made her sit up. 

Authored by Computerworld HK’s Stefan Hammond…
Boo thought it was a perfect summary of the whole OSS vs MS debacle and what
is currently happening.

However Boo remember someone saying whenever it comes to those two and writing about those two.. a side is always taken first. 

But dun take Boo’s word for it.. take a look at the story yourself here.

Enjoy, folks! 

…tis Monday oni and there is so much drama oredi…

All the drama is too much for Boo to handle and she is drinking coffee non-stop… plus visiting the staircase to smoke. Music also turned up loud-loud…

Calm down, BooBoo, calm dowwwwwnnnn….

On a plus note, there is big event tonite and sure got lots of tani for Boo..YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

ALSO, tomorrow Tuesday is Valentine’s Day….. Boo totally loves themediaslut and wants to grow up to be just like her!!! (Feedback, anyone?)

Fishing boats for charter

And some other clipper boats on display that day (not for hire)

Happy Chinese New Year to all readers of themediaslut. 

The reunion dinner this year was somehow more special for themediaslut because themediaslut was away on a business trip for 6 months then.

Friend asked themediaslut,"When is Good Friday, this year?"

themediaslut replied, "Friday?" 

themediaslut is slowly becoming truely ASEAN as she welcomes Indoscene, from Indonesia, to the slut network of blog contributors.

Indoscene looks at the unbeliveable happening in his country publication scene today as Playboy is launch in Indonesia.

themediaslut wonders, "How come Singapore got Crazy Horse but no Playboy yet?"  

themediaslut has a new contributor who has agreed to jump aboard the SLUT network and bitch, or should mediaslut say "biatch" about the communications industry. 

But mediabiatch is different, he or she is not part of the media, but is from the other side… themediabiatch works on the marketing side of the fence and is more than ready to biatch about the media from there… 

Welcome mediatbiatch and let the biatching begin!

One of more powerful Google Analytics feature is it avability to track which network did reader come from.. 

For instance, on Wednesday (04/01/2006), themediaslut had a visit from someone at the Media Development Autority (Authority). 

themediaslut is watching…

Instead of a new year resolution, themediaslut has a new mathematical equation to live by for 2006. 

SPEND LESS MONEY = PLAY WOW EVERYDAY (Don’t go out) + GO GYM EVERYDAY + EAT LESS = LOSE WEIGHT
