Design Flaw or Enforcement Flaw?

Have a look at this….

Probably it was a good intention to have a barrier, probably to restrict vehicles from entering the premises but the person who designed it have failed to look on the enforcement flaw of the flawed (?) design.

Youths…The Porn Stars

.

I must admit, it was funny

Even the names of the VCDs was funny (simple but funny) – “Sepagi di Candi” (A morning in Candi) and “Sepetang di Tupah” (An Evening in Tupah). There is no “Semalam di Wang” (A night in Wang) yet. Probably due to lighting problem that the “producers cum cameraman” have during the nights.

If they want to show their “talents” in the public and someone decides to make a quick buck out of it, why stop them? It is a win-win situation for everyone. The “artist” gets what they want (ahem!), the VCD “producer” was able to save production cost (free shows) and the public able to get the localized porn VCD for a change. Yes, it is immoral but this is a good way to stop such acts at public areas. Give the publicity that is needed.

It was mentioned that “The immoral activities at certain sites had temporarily stopped because of frequent raids by the department following tip-offs”. I wonder where they get the tip-offs. From the VCDs? No further comments.

The inconvenience of convenient

Talking about wrong timing….

12.30 am.

One of the clients had a crisis (their server had crashed) and I was notified via telephone call. Since I was awake watching TV, I thought I could log-on to the net and check the details with the client using MSN Messenger. So, there I was…connecting to internet which took sometime to be hooked. When I clicked on the MSN, the Windows asked me to setup the Passport details (whatever). Since I had recently reformatted my PC (another frustration of Windows crashing), I went ahead to click to setup (otherwise I cannot use the MSN). After almost 10 minutes, I managed to setup the Passport.

12.45 am.

Thinking that I am ready, I clicked on the MSN again and guess what…the Windows informs me that there is a newer version of MSN and asked whether I want to install it now. I said forget it and I want to use what I have. I clicked NO and thinking of logging on. The Windows keeps shutting down the MSN. This went on for couple of times until I re-read the fine statement “You cannot proceed until you have installed the latest version”. Damn!

Ok, I will download the latest one. What the heck? The file was 7.02 MB and with my 56K modem, it took almost 25 minutes to download the file.

1.15 am.

I managed to install the damn latest MSN, restarted the PC (it was not me but it was the damn Windows) and logged-in. My client was unfortunately was not. So there was I was logged in with the very latest MSN but could not check anything. After 10 minutes waiting, I shut my PC and went to bed.

Wasted an hour of my sleep for nothing
