Somehow it reminds me of Borat. Right now however, the website cannot 
be reached. But that might mean the People's Republic blocked it.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Though it's not the reason the site is 
down - just the shaven chimps at the hosting company trying to sort out 
the DNS issues.

Let's keelhaul them as well then! When I try to trace aglami.net they 
first take me to Japan, before ending up at the Aussie HQ at Rundle 
Mall! Say, do they still have that Dutch Candy store there?

They fixed it, so I'll spare them the keelhaul this time.

Now for some sort of website to go there, since my backup is incomplete, 
and we have on-topic topics to report...

I don't know... think you mentioned that once before. Was it one of the 
arcades?

Hmmm... not sure why they stop at October 2007... There's definitely 
been changes since then.

Having said that, the last database backup I have is from January 2007. 
I also have most of the stuff from the Downloads area.

Thing is, the dodgy old CMS we used to run would probably take some 
effort to get working again. Debating whether to just start fresh, and 
add the old content back in when I get the chance.

So this web host is messing things up and they also don't have a 
back-up of their systems? What kind of pirates are they!?!

They don't have a backup because it was me who deleted the account in an 
attempt to fix it... so, uh... Great Success!

Not to mention the total lack of pirate-related content. He doesn't even mention 
the Togo village called Aglami.

Grog starts deleting itself if you leave it in the mug too long, though.

Well, can't you use it to send private messages? In that case it would 
be cheaper than sending SMS messages, if you can access the internets 
with your phone that is.

All right, I asked them whether they have a player from Aglami.

Where is Aglami in Togo anyway? Here:

http://maps.google.com/?q=aglami&ie=UTF8&ll=6.172054,1.280546&spn=0.002731,0.003605&t=h&z=18

By the way, our Aglami from Spain also has a photo in northern Spain. 
I guess that's where he lives then. He added some comments saying 
something about the park he took the photo of. It can be found here:

http://www.panoramio.com/photo/3346148

At the bottom you can flag it as inappropriate or offensive. I did. 
Please do the same.

That site seems to be inappropriate or offensive in China and as such, 
it has been blocked by the government.

And how much do they charge per byte? I've heard about crazy prices of up to 10 
euro per MB pre-paid. Paying 60 euro's per month for a plan (even unlimited) is 
also out of the question.

Besides I hardly do anything per phone/sms. Most is e-mail.

More importantly: I don't know why *I* would use Twitter. Usenet is far superior.

Why would you want to leave it in the mug for too long in the first 
place anyway? Grog is there for you to drink it! Now!

Yes! That's it! Hmm...makes me wonder why I thought it was a Dutch 
Candy Store. I've only seen it once and that was from the outside, but 
I clearly remember seeing Dutch candy inside. However, there's nothing 
Dutch about the name or whatever. Must have had too much grog.

I think it worked, since I cannot access the photo anymore now. In 
fact, I cannot access all of panoramio.com anymore. Looks like the 
Chinese authorities now consider it a dangerous website.

I sometimes do that. The problem with free open proxies is that they 
get blocked as quickly as they sprout. And most of them do not allow 
things like YouTube. Anyway, I'm too lazy to pay for a proxy server.

So, I had a look at his site but where is Aglami?? Nowhere to be seen. 
I also still have to get a reply at the worldcupblog site :(

You're just gierig.

Well, I like to use my phone for when I can't find somebody. Almost 
all of my conversations go like this: "Where the hell are you!??!1"

Yet you never use the IRC!

Or a bandwidth hog, bad usage of the people's bits.

Raisin is more like it.

I'd be libel to ask "WHY are you calling me? NOBODY calls me, they all e-mail. 
It's not like I *want* to speak to you.".

I haven't in ages. I don't even have any IRC software on my PC, I think.

There is enough bandwith here to feed all 1.3 billion souls! Most of 
them use it only for weird Chinese sites that rank near the bottom in 
web design, or to download movies and music which the government here 
doesn't care much about.

I bet those are okay only if it's Chinese government approved entertainment. 
They seem to be very strict about foreign productions being shown in the 
cinemas. It seems unlikely that's a purely economical stance.
