sayaFuqaha, Where Every Line has a Meaning

Stupidity at its Best

I am annoyed. I am terribly annoyed.

I browsed the internet this morning (from my desktop in the faculty, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur). And really surprised to see that one of my favorite website, flickr.com was blocked using Webshit. What is it in flickr that should not be seen by students (this is university level for that matter!) ? Everything is perfectly legal and safe there. For an architectural student, flickr is one must visit site, it is almost part of my daily routine! It is a mecca of highquality building photos that are worth to be looked at and indeed helps a lot in broadening our architectural mind.

I was pissed off and still is.

I have sent an email, by the words in it, I am sure that the reader who read the email tomorrow morning (or the next week perhaps? - UM office staff are well-known among students to be a perfect example of the worst parts of Malaysian government offices) will have their face red and fuming with madness.

What are they doing anyway?

I dont care if they think that the time-wasting community based sites (facebook, friendster, myspace whatsoever) should be blocked, but why on earth perfectly safe sites and VERY USEFUL ones are blocked? Please, when you enable Websense, dont just sit there doing nut-thing! Browse through the tonnes of options, and use the god-given brain to analyze and make an appropriate decision. Porn, yes block them ( I have plenty anyway). Gambling? Yes. Social networks? I dont mind.

What about Education related sites? Another shock was when I found out that my former school site, mckk.edu.my was also blocked! I cant stand this bambardment of plain foolhardiness! This is ridiculous!

Guess what, after blocking the sites, our Pusat Teknologi Maklumat (Information Technology Center) still cant get enough of it. They then filter out our own www.um.edu.my ! People, that is our main university website! How dim-wit is that? Yes, for this education sites, you will have an option to browse within 10 minutes time frame for every session (with 5 sessions a day). Still, what the heck with 10 minutes? Most of us realize that besides the main www.um.edu.my site, the subdomains were a mess! Given that our main site is also filtered, I will not be surprised to see some day even Google almighty gonna get blocked too (i assume for having too much information).

What else? I hope that they can lift the ban. These sites are useful, perhaps they are the culprit of having time spent too much, but it is worth it! A time-waster they are not. You cant imagine how helpful the images in Flickr helps me in opening up my creative side, finishing my assignments and decorating my fancy stick-it, pin-it-up, architectural wall. Please, this is a laughing stock. Do something. Current administration of Websenses' filtering power is nonsense and worth to be laugh at. I dont want the whole ban lifted, I only want unhindered access to information and helpful sites.

{adv1}

Now. anyone heard of Tunneling? How to achieve that? Sorry, I am an architectural student, not too IT literate. =)

*what I cant do now. a) Join Malaysian Joomla Forum (sorry guys...) b) Use Rapidshare (tagged as Personal file Sharing) c) Read friends blog (those on blogspot). d) No more YM, MSN, gTalk (skype ok~!)

*think again. I guess in the next few days, the PTM people will get mad and will block this blog. Hahaha.. See ya in few days~!

*another update: Ikram-Zidane got blocked for "Message board and Forums", NoktahHitam got blocked for "Webhosting", Flisterz got blocked for "Social Networking and Personal Sites". WTF?

*another update: This blog IS OFFICIALLY BLOCKED! Hurray!

*update: Even gMail is filtered!. (being tagged as general email).

fuqaha February 29, 2008 Votes: +0	haha.. "u nih lawak la.. ", you are funny la.. I can easily delete the comments, but I choose not to. Just to let people know your senseless points. 1. UM super slow internet? Really? See this.. 2. Please, I dont layan AF whatsoever. 3. "but my bodo semulajadi nature tells me to voice out sopanly like a human being (not necessarily educated maa)" and that is how you behave? LOL. 4. "how marvelous lagi canggih i'm doing my assignment". Did i said that? I only remember that the assignment requires us to use flickr (so that our lecturer can group them and comment on the photograph easily). Get your facts right. @zemang, shaifful, novatech and flisterz, thanks for being understanding. =) report abuse vote down vote up

"u nih lawak la" , fikirlah balik , kamu rasa kamu betol ? . owh ya . lupa emak kamu juga mengajar kamu supaya sentiasa btol dan orang lain tidak pernah benar kan?. sebagai contoh , kalau lah fuqaha tidak berkata demikian , sdah pasti perkara ini akan berlarutan . dan ini menunjukkan bahawa FUQAHA telah melakukan sesuatu di mana pelajar lain tidak berani , iaitu menyatakan pendapat dan membuat aduan . alahai , kalau setakat nak mengkritik tapi x mahu bagi tahu siapa kamu , umpama bercakap seperti KERUSI ! . Adakah bangsa jenis itu yang kita mahukan si "u nih lawak la" ?. kalau dah jadi , diam saja , tak berbuat apa2 . paling kurang , fuqaha telahpun berkata DARIPADA KAMU yang masih duduk di bawah tempurung , meskipon telah diketuk masih berdiam diri . Alahai , nak kutuk fuqaha mengenai diary nya ? . fikirkan lah wahai "u nih lawak la" , ibarat kamu mengutuk semua blogger di seluruh dunia , dan yang penting dia berani berbanding anda yang hanya tahu bercakap tapi tidak berbuat apa2 . Dah tahu internet lembab , ada apa2 yg anda buat? . tidak langsung sekali . BACHUL NYA anda . Fuqaha . Don't bother that mother**cker . He's just a guy without his balls. I rest my case . report abuse vote down vote up

anonymous February 29, 2008 Votes: +0	"Sad but true: Online, you are only as old as u act." - OXM "u nih lawak la.." it's like you saying it to a mirror. And what with this advice, "please dun end-up selling insurance ok?" What type of insurances are you talking about? Whole life? Terms? Health? Pension? (hint: google it for better understanding.) You mentioned that u r a student so don't make urself look uneducated. That if you are really a student. You already wasted at least a minute of your time and ours, so please stop wasting our precious time will ya? report abuse vote down vote up

NoktahHitam March 07, 2008 http://www.noktahhitam.com Votes: +0	the pinnacle of all hopes, FLICKR! Darn! I used to work and monitor UM's internet traffic. Sites like these gets heavy traffic. But blocking sites like mckk, joomla, and all those small2 stuff, shouldnt happen. I think you router is jammed, thats all. You just have to wait for the right guy to come. Tunneling is easy bro. But have you read the TOS? In Nottingham, you can be charged a maximum of 10k Pounds, imagine kalau kene sue banyak tu, menangis bapak, atuk nenek aku! report abuse vote down vote up

fuqaha March 09, 2008 Votes: +0	Yes, it was plain stupid. Proxy, nope and any proxy sites were also blocked.

Thank god for that and thank you guys for the wonderful support. =) report abuse vote down vote up
