About Me

Cap'n Intrepid is wacky (when he's not serious), and highly intelligent (when he's not dumb) and has an astounding talent of pointing out the painfully obvious.

Bandwidth Woes/ Goodbye, Putfile
It appears Google is extremely effective when it comes to indexing Blogger blogs. Despite being out of commission for the month of November, my bandwidth usage managed to hit almost 1 gb.

Which is quite ridiculous actually, when you consider how people land here:

Google Images: Jude Law
Google Images: sexy sex
Google: nfk sex movies
Google Images: pubic pants
Yahoo: smelly panty
Yahoo: ah beng underwear showing
Google Images: colin farrell pictures
MSN Search: christopher lee birthdate mediacorp
Google Images: jude law
AOL Search: idris elba

While it doesn't beat this, I still feel like I'm running a gay porn site (oh goodie, I used the p-word... that should bring my bandwidth usage beyond its limit).

I will most probably make changes to the layout to save me some grief. Remove side bar images from my own server and all that. Of course, I won't be using Putfile any longer, now that it has childishly banned users from Singapore from accessing its services, because it feels execution by hanging is barbaric (sidenote: Lethal injection need not necessarily be more humane). While I applaud Putfile making a moral stand, I can't help but feel that they're ultimately missing the forest for the trees. Banning local users from accessing their services is also a juvenile (not all locals support the death sentence, not all local users are Singapore citizens), sensationalistic and also futile.

But since Putfile is willing to cut off its nose to spite its face, so be it. May your advertisers flock away after knowing that the site can and will geographically discriminate against users. Goodbye.
