The Star Online is the popular online newspaper website in Malaysia. It has a web directory but my friend discovered hidden adult categories in the web directory. That’s exciting!

For example, Sexuality category is found at:
http://directory.thestar.com.my/cat.asp? /Adult/Society/Sexuality/
(warning: link contain adult materials)
Anyway, the Adult category is not found on the web directory homepage.

Why TheStar Online keep the adult links?

My friend asked, “How can a corporate site contain adult materials?” If you notice the footer links of TheStar directory, you will discover that the directory link database was pulled from Open Directory Project (dmoz) using Engine Promotion script.

Meaning, TheStar directory imports whatever links have on Open Directory Project, including the adult links. The webmaster simply creates a directory front page that exclude link to Adult category.

However, the adult links are not removed and anyone (you!) know the backdoor still can access them.

The Malaysia Recruit.net that I previously reviewed has been officially launched (press release). In conjunction with the launch of Malaysia Recruit.net, LiewCF.com is proud to be Malaysia Recruit.net’s first partner to offer on-site search of Malaysia jobs — LiewCF Job Search.

LiewCF Job Search or Jobs.LiewCF.com is a free service like Recruit.net. It integrates Malaysia Recruit.net job search to LiewCF Tech Blog as a separate channel. Users can search jobs in Malaysia without leaving the blog. A job search box is also added on the blog’s sidebar.

I hope you like the localized service and wish all job seekers found their ideal jobs soon!

For Malaysians, if you are experiencing slow Internet connection speed again after recovery from the last TMNet Streamyx service interruption, it is because TMNet is replacing its network equipment.

Here is the latest news from TMNet Newsroom:

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) would like to inform its customers that its Internet services are experiencing some degradation in performance due to the replacement of network equipment at its Network Operations Center for Northern and Southern regions and East Malaysia.

Restoration works on the affected infrastructure will be performed from 11.00 p.m. on Tuesday, 28 August 2007 until 12.00 a.m. on Wednesday, 29 August 2007.

On the another news of the day, TMNet informed that TMNet is performing a service upgrading exercise on its Streamyx system in Tawau, Sabah from 4.00 p.m. on Tuesday, 28 August 2007 until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 29 August 2007.

This is a quick update regarding the previous down time of LiewCF.com and the other websites on the same server. The server’s Apache service was down at 1:12am, 29 August 2007. It was up again at 1:27pm. The total down time is 12 hours 37 minutes. It was due to a possible bug of cPanel that does not restart Apache probably when it is down.
