..and give me a reason why I should run the Photo Database ’09?

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Well, I’ve just got home from a long day at work, and I found my server frozen stiff with crazy loads at almost midnight.

** RANT MODE ON **

Oh, it was last year’s Photo Database application – some of you guys were trying to get “it” to display this year’s stuff – but apparently LEO changed stuff so the scripts got frozen and caused the server to crash. BRRR.

Okay, so now that I’ve graduated, and that everyone I (do) know personally has graduated – and that the school’s management has changed (and I don’t know/have no ties with anyone “up” there) – my question is simple:

Give me a good reason why I should continue running the Photo Database at the expense of risking myself when I’m no longer in RP.

No, really, I’m serious.

    Simple and easy, the masses has yet to find another source to seek such info from, besides, there aint anyone else as famous nor as knowledgeable as you are. :mrgreen:

    Because if you don’t, where else will the “Eh go yandao search leh” come from?

    If you’re not doing it anymore, at least teach someone else that will continue it for you. Thanks so much!

    1)You are well know to everybody in RP
    2)Provided us information which the sch didnt provide much in their website
    3)It’s not some serious matter or hacking into other things, just class names photos informations and thats all.
    4)You can show that Rp graduate do have some skills compared to other schools and polytechnics :D

    Seriously, up to you. But i do appreciate all that you’ve done so far. Kudos to Yandao and all the MSN unblockers. Firewall thingys, Photos, the list goes on.

    If you have nothing to gain and don’t like the sound of that. Then don’t otherwise, I’m sure many will appreciate your work!

    Aaron: hahaha. what to do. some information is always controlled.. or scattered around in pieces ;)

    Shawn: i taught “that someone” already. just that he hasn’t done it yet =x we’re rather busy with work, actually.

    darren: haha thanks!

    Philip: true true, but i need more ideas + time on how to push it forward i guess. one person can only do this much. i’m doing this *after* work and *before* sleep, so you can guess that im only using a few hours.

    sss: Yes! I’ve noticed. today there are at least 15-20 new MSN adds, too.

    Screws: hahaha. what if your class got some horrible person whom you don’t wanna see? isn’t ignorance bliss? :P

    xiong: Point #4: nono, this one is scarily easy to do once you have the “data”. and compared to the “commercial” work projects which i do, this one takes no skill. so cant really use it to brag to other polys. haha

    hlws: haha true true. last time i did it for like my class, then afterthat it grew to everyone who wanted it. but truth be told, now that i’ve graduated (or am graduating), i don’t know what new protection they put in.

    mj: adsense and nuffnang pays… not enough to buy everyday rice. put it this way, even at peak traffic, adsense pays around a dollar or so per day. :P if only adsense really paid bazillions.

    then again yandao.com was supposed to be my blog. but when i was in RP people tended to use what i said online literally against me. maybe now that i’m graduated i can go back to writing my super cheeeem posts like in 2007.

    ivan: hahaha. sure :D

    macbuntu: adsense earning suckssssss balls. $1/day or less. i’ve taught someone else how to do it already. and right, truth be told. if ure sharp enough u can figure out how its done also. hehe ;)

    ah ming: HWAHHH. i wish i was a true “yandao” kia. hahaha. wait till adsense brings me around $10mil SGD, then i’ll go do facial, and uh, you know, those services those aunties do to make them look damn chio chio can be applied in a yandao context.

    johnson: wahaha JOHNSON! YOU’RE IN RP? EH LETS MEET UP FOR KOPI ONE OF THESE DAYS :)

    johnson: YEA man, i remember. hahaha. partly because we went to the same chinese class or something woohoo! add me on facebook! search for “Kelvin Leong”

    macbuntu: well, technically, i took PUBLIC information and pieced them together, shouldn’t be illegal, and copyright-wise.. well.. abit shady though. hahaha!

    without the database, you’re nothing? (:
    I guess your nuffnang wouldn’t run without the database. Every click 5 cents.
    If your main purpose of the database is to earn money then why complain? right?
