Astro Sialan!!!


Gara-gara Astro nih, jadi nggak bisa leha-leha-malem-mingguan-di-kos-ongkang-ongkang-kaki-nonton-EPL!

Kemarin, hati saya udah riang gembira ngliat tivi kabel di kantor yang dicolok dari provider lokal nyiarin Sunderland vs Tottenham (hasil akhir 1-0, yeah Roy Keane rocks!!). Akhirnya, saya bisa juga nonton satu diantara sedikit acara di tivi yang bermutu.


Hari ini, pulang KKN jam 5 sore. Ngorok dulu ngumpulin tenaga buat kerja malam sambil nonton Manchester United vs Reading. Yah, bonusnya nonton Arsenal vs Fulham dan Chelsea vs Birmingham. Sambil berharap dua seteru besar klub favorit saya itu tumbang.

Jam 7 malam udah nyampe di kantor (maklum, kos saya kan di belakang kantor...ngesot aja nyampe, kok).

Lha dalah, ditunggu punya tunggu, kok ini channel Star Sports sama ESPN nggak ada bau-baunya Liga Inggris sama sekali? Malah adanya siaran bola penjol sama acara extreme games. Woi, bring me my EPL!!! Mana?????

Sialan nih, gara-gara Astro sialan!!! Meskipun ESPN-Star Sports (ESS) megang hak siar buat (hampir) seluruh Asia, ternyata siaran ke end-user yang senengnya nunut seperti saya mentok sama regulasi. Hee...wajar je, konon harganya 50 juta US Dolar. Ya tentu aja dia mau untung, sodara-sodara. Jadi, pelanggan tivi kabel non-Astro pun harus gigit jari ngeliat ESPN dan Star Sportsnya mejen nggak bisa nongolin aksi Cristiano Ronaldo sama Didier Drogba.


Pengen ngamuk sebenernya. Tapi, yah sudahlah, kayaknya memang saya harus rajin-rajin melototin Livescore! *sigh

The race of providing unlimited space is now restarted



After reading a blog of a friend (do we friends? :D).

After publicly revealed months ago, finally Yahoo web mail provide unlimited space for its customers. It is officialy announced as seen in top right corner of the screenshot above (click to show complete picture).

Now, the race of providing bigger, even unlimited space, is restarted.

Oh.. I feel bored



Have you ever felt so bored?

Here I am. Still working on a cold midnight, with so much things to do. Huff...

I think I need an escape. Leaving the town for a day or two. Go to the middle of nowhere. Cut out the cell phone and all the wireless gadget. Making myself unconnected to the world, nor the internet. Not thinking of the 130-character-content-producing troubles that I must face almost everyday.

Sounds good eh?
