Some Changes On Island Crisis
November 25, 2008 by Kurt Avish
Filed under Blogging Tips
I was busy thinking last night till around 23:00. I am thinking about many changes here on my blog and would like to know your opinion.
My blog is 6 months old now and I think its time for some very major changes and adding a real domain name for Island Crisis. I was thinking for www.islandcrisis.com but helas its already taken so I am most probably going for islandcrisis.net or islandcrisis.info
So what do you think?
Next major change is that I am thinking of migrating to Wordpress now! Blogspot is great but I always have the impression that I am not blogging for myself…that is I don’t own Island Crisis.
So I plan to switch to wordpress on paid hosting by December. Do you think its worth it?
The main problem will be to let all the visitors to know of my new address and also many of my photos will still be hosted on blogspot. So I will not be closing the blogspot blog but disable public viewing and disable search engine accessibility when I publish the wordpress one.
Post Nomad Technician Intervention!! – New Google Result Votes!
November 24, 2008 by Kurt Avish
Filed under Critics, Nomad, Web2.0 & PC
Ridiculous is the word that best suite Nomad Internet! For those who missed the first episode, the have a look here for the last version and here for the anger version.
So today the technician from Nomad came home for an on-site test and unfortunately he could not do much! I wont curse the guy because he tried his best but finally find out that the problem is with the internet connection itself! Infact this morning I took my laptop and nomad modem and went to work. Nomad has their antenna just about 100 Meter from where I work at Vacoas. More precisely at A1 Vacoas. The connection was ok when I tested it there. So I knew that my modem was not faulty.
Getting back to the onsite test. So the guy tried to position the modem at different positions to obtain the best result. And the final conclusion was that the signal itself is low. I am getting my internet connection from La Louise Quatre Bornes antenna. Great! And I live at Vacoas! That’s another very reliable logic. Finally when he positioned in ON the TV furniture the signal went from 1 to 2! Innovative! So one advice to those who are running toward nomad… do have a high 2 meter height TV furniture at your place as you will very probably need to place it there to get some decent connection speed.
So the conclusion was that due to the promotion that nomad is doing, many people are using it and the connection is getting slow when many people…or many of the new subscribers are tasting their rabbit modem!
Now let me talk about the speed test done today! It was so damn funny! I use a 64Kb modem and the normal value at around 14:00 should be about 50Kbit/s. And guess… no no need to guess… you know it! It was at 14Kbit/s!
Now completely switching to another topic. I just found this new cool feature of google while surfing and wanted to share.
Google search results now have a voting system!! That is you can now vote for the results you obtained. You can vote give a positive or negative vote.
You can even comment on the specific result. Write and share your opinion about any specific result.
Nomad Rabbit Modem Playing The Whore
November 23, 2008 by Kurt Avish
Filed under Critics, Nomad, Web2.0 & PC
Blogging has become such a long time consuming task since some days as my nomad internet connection is so damn slow. A post which would normally take around 30 minutes to complete is taking more than 2 hours as I also have to look for appropriate images and other stuffs. Nomad or their ‘modem’ decided to ‘joke’ with me since Thursday 20 November so let me ‘joke’ with them today!
Thursday 20 Nov 08 – 19:00
While I was browsing my own blog I saw that the sidebars were not loading! I thought it was a problem with my blog. I cross checked with some friends but at their place it was loading well. So I said the problem is maybe with Nomad and it will be fine by Friday morning. I phoned Nomad and I was told to scan my PC for spywares! I did it and no spyware! I phoned them again and was told to now do a speed test 3 time at 30 minutes intervals!
I did it and the results were so F*cked up! The details about this day can be found here.
Friday 21 Nov 08 – 06:30
The connection is indeed much better than the previous night but after just 10 minutes…shit… The same problem of slow connection as of the previous day is back. I waited for nomad’s call during the day and they never called!!
Friday 21 Nov 08 – 19:45
I started to feel annoyed at the slow connection and started to yell at the Nomad dudes!!! Yea you got to yell at them and swear to wake them from their sleep!! After the hypertensionic event I got to talk to one of their technician who asked me to do so many stuffs but they connection remained so damn slow! I asked that a technician come to my place to check but since their techkies dont work during the weekend, so its only on Monday that they can send someone…. ofcourse they had to hear a curse from me when they said that!!
Saturday 22 Nov 08 – 17:00
I took my modem to the Nomad stand at Jumbo to test it there but found out that they are ‘inside of Jumbo’ so they can’t do speed test as they don’t have a good connection in there!! Yea!!
Next destination was Nomad Shoprite… The dude their test it and his report was that yea the modem work! Yea the fucking modem fuckign works!! I know it! So I explained about the connection problem and also let him know about my blog and the posts!!! Finally we concluded that…. no conclusion! He is not a qualified dude to know the defect! The connection was slow too at Shoprite! So I asked him to confirm that a techky is going to come at my place on Monday!!
More specifically on Monday at 14:30!! Lets see at what time he will come and what will he do to solve the problem! I will surely update you all here. Today I did another speed test and here are the jokers results that I wanna share with you. These are the results for today Sunday 23 Nov. The results for friday were worst!!! 9Kbit/s!!!
Speed Test 2: – Speed test two clearly failed!!! The connection lost it!!
Speed Test 3: I just did this speed test just before posting this article…. so here is the value just at the time I am writing this.
And you know what more ridiculous?? The modem is showing such a good network availability with FIVE bars!!
So the only question which comes to my mind is WHAT THE FUCK!! Lets see what happen tomorrow when the techky guy will come!! It really sh*t to use the HTML version of gmail!! Its too boring….I can’t even access my Google Reader!!

Result of Mauritian Blog Survey and Award
November 21, 2008 by Kurt Avish
Filed under Blogging Tips, Web2.0 & PC
Post started at 17:00 to end at 23:00!!! What a rapid connection!!
Since yesterday I am having a damn problem with Nomad!! The connection speed is so damnlow that even Island Crisis is taking about 10 to 15 minutes to load at my place!! Yea! Finally today after my phone calls, my angry mom called them lol. And they started trying to solve the problem but unfortunately its still the same!! I am going to change the modem and cable tomorrow to see if the problem is with the modem.
So as you know I organised a small Mauritian blog survey and award last Tuesday 18. Today I am going to compute the result and publish them here.
Firstly I’ll thank all those who participated in the survey. I see that some bloggers participated in the survey but didnt participated in the voting section. There has also been some people who voted in the voting section but didnt participated in the survey. So let me compute the result now.
Lets start with the survey. Thanks to the following person for having participated and giving their valuable opinion:
S4ndeep | Daks | Tushal | Carrotmadman6 | Rishii | Shah | Web Design Bureau | Yashvin | Dhaneesha | Sailesh | Yusha | Ashish | Lovvy | Inf | Avinash Meetoo | Nayare
Question 1: What is your blogging frequency?
I have convert all the result into average post per month. That is if you entered 3 days per week, I have compute it as about 12 posts per month.
Micro-blogging is also having a rise among mauritian bloggers. Only one participant (Priscus) scored the over 20 posts per month. However we can also conclude that microbloggers are in this category but I separate them in another category to show the data in more details.
Question 2: What is your prefered domain or subdomain type?
– I personally think a dot come is really cool and look professional in whatever you do. The co.cc is another free alternative and can be acceptable for a blog. One thing I didnt expect… dot blogspot is prefered over dot wordpress. Thats nice.
Question 3: What is your blogging style?
I more for the Text with lots of images to illustrate the meaning of the post. I don’t use videos… but maybe soon
Question 4: How do you promote your blog?
Facebook and MSN are still among the most used method of blog promotion in Mauritius. We are indeed very different from international bloggers in the way that none of us actually used adsense and other paid advertising to promote our blog. I think this is really a thing we should be proud of as we all get fans and loyal readers without paying for it and readers come and read because of what we write.
Question 5: Which is faster to load?
As expected Wordpress free and blogspot are among the ones that are among the fastest. However a short note… Even wordpress on paid hosting can be very fast. This depend on the hosting being used. It also depend on the template and plugins being used. Some plugins really slow down wordpress.
So thanks again those who participated! Now its time for the Mauritian Bloggers Award
