How to piss me off with online video sharing websites
The idea of sharing an internet connection with strangers can be really annoying, not that I have a choice, but was forced to because the landlord says so, I do have the option of acquiring my own telephone line but it is going to cost me a bomb.
Long story short, the situation was made worst when I am forced to share the internet connection with 7 people in the house; the best part is the broadband connection quota for every month capped at 40GB. That is like 170MB for each person per day, which is hardly enough. The 40GB cap per month is the ceiling quota from the company.
Since the broadband internet connection is limited to 40GB per month, why can’t these users be more considerate? Is it a must to watch funny videos online, multimedia sites such as YouTube really annoys me, especially video streaming sites that uses torrent technology.
I found a few ways to block Azureus, but could not find a solution towards the much more popular p2p video streaming software known as ppstream.com, its a Chinese video streaming website that utilize p2p technology and it is really killing the bandwidth. As much as I would like to scream ‘Go back to China’, but that is somewhat rude. (No racism here, I’m Chinese but not from China)
Buying a new VPN modem is out of the question, it is just way too expensive and why should I be the one paying for the hardware? P2P technology, it is a love hate relationship. God help me.

Willie Wagtail Wordpress Theme
Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am proud to present you (the readers) the all new GeckoandFly, re-branded with a brand spanking new layout that took me 4 sleepless nights. This theme is named after Willie Wagtail, an Australian passerine bird that caught my attention and not to mention the close encounter I had when the bird pecked me for being too close to its nest.
Their most notable feature (and what gives them their name) is their long black tail, which they fan out and “wag” from side to side when hunting. Even while perching they will flick their long tails from side to side, twisting about looking for prey. Isn’t that cute?
Image Source: Wikipedia
According to Wikipedia: “It is moderately territorial, particularly when nesting, and will readily chase off larger birds or other animals.”
Willie Wagtail is no bigger than the fist of a teenager, probably the size of a small boy’s fist, yet the most amazing thing I came across on my way to university is the sight of Willie Wagtail pecking a Raven ten times the size of its own size. Size doesn’t matter, does it?

How to Access YouTube If It Is Blocked or Filtered
After toying around with my router for a couple of weeks, I’ve discovered various ways of accessing youtube or any other websites using different techniques such as IP address and proxy surfing. These are simple techniques that do not require the help of a computer nerd.
The IP Address technique - little knowledge is needed, all you need to do is key in the IP address of youtube server and you’re in, this technique works if the network administrator doesn’t block the ip address of the server. Usually the network administrator filters website based on the URL address and not the IP address.
The other technique is proxy surfing - embedproxies.com is the only proxy site that doesn’t disable javascript, thus allowing you to watch videos from youtube, for websites that doesn’t utilize javascript such as youtube, any other proxy sites are good enough.
Please use these methods at your own risk, for your information, most network administrator monitor the web traffic and your chances of getting caught for bypassing their filters are literally quite high.
