Maybank Credit Card Canceled
Aug 10
I have one Maybank MasterCard Credit Card and one Maybank Visa Credit Card. I seldom use these two cards. I decided to cancel it. I made a phone call to Maybank Customer Service. They advised me to redeem all my reward points before canceling the credit cards. They were helpful. I redeemed all my reward points for a Logitech Cordless Mouse, a Sony Radio Clock and a Petronas RM 50 voucher since last two week. I canceled these two cards this week.
Deluge 0.5.4
Aug 07
Deluge is a BitTorrent client for Linux. I stumbled upon in a forum posting about this Deluge BitTorrent client that can avoid your ISP’s throttling your BitTorrent download and upload speed. I have been facing throttled BitTorrent traffic by my ISP for a long time and its frustrating…
I fired up my VMware Server and power up the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Desktop Edition as my guest OS. I downloaded a latest version of Deluge 0.5.4 for Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and I followed the installation instruction of Deluge (i386) from Ubuntu Guide. After the successful installation, just fire up the Deluge and begin my download…I am getting a good download speed of 98.9kB/s and that was awesome!!!
