Jabatan Hasil Server Failed due to heavy usage?

I am upset that despite several years of development the site had failed to take the challenge of the Malaysian last minute tax payers.

I had already waited for two hours and the same error message is appearing.

I guessed the Microsoft ASP server used at the HASIL office is not the correct platform for this kind of heavily loaded system.

I did a quick search online and the error is caused by :
[[CAUSE

The error is generated from the line in your .prf file that establishes the connection to the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) source (for example, ADODB.Connection.1.5).

Rule Manager generates the Rule Set File with hard-coded ADO 1.5 version checks. If your computer is running ADO 2.0 or later and it has not been upgraded from ADO version 1.5, registry entries needed by ADO 2.0 to handle this version check will be missing.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply the latest Site Server 3.0 service pack.

To work around this problem, you can fix the code that was previously generated by Rule Manager by finding the ADODB lines in the .prf file that have "1.5" appended to them and remove the "1.5." For example, change the line that reads "ADODB.Connection.1.5" to "ADODB.Connection." ]]

Testing Nokia N82 Black a-GPS System

My office mate recently asked me to test his new Nokia N82 a-GPS . The phone GPS system was very sensitive and my location was established in less than a minute , even tough the weather was slighty cloudy and the rain was a about to begin (6.45 pm in Petaling Jaya).

I had used Garmin XT running on HTC U1000 for sometime and I think Nokia N82 GPS is superior than the HTC .

Parking Problem in Taipan, USJ

Photo : Quick action by MBSJ to remove car for parking infront of Recycle Centre. I hope the authority is also quick at implementing an efficient transport system for the Subang Jaya folks.
------

Try to find a parking space in Taipan, USJ on Saturday ?. Most of the time you have to wait for on hour before you can find an empty parking lot.

Everybody is driving to this place. People from USJ , Puchong and Putra Height come in just to do their shopping or to have a nice dinner. There is no reliable bus service and taxi driver will not take you for a short trip even from Subang Parade to SS19.

So , the new YB from PKR, if you read this blog I hope you can arrange a meeting on Saturday 11.00 am at Taipan and see how fast you can park your car.
