Well, my streak of bad luck doesn’t seem to stop. First I was stalked by some crazy fool in the beer brewing forums, then my computer had a very serious spyware problem and later my office computers kept on dying on me and just recently my web directory had some bandwidth problem and my webhost wanted to kick me out. I had to convince my webhost that it could be due to some DOS attacks and they at least agreed to monitor the situation first before kicking me off. Seriously, I could change webhost but it would be very troublesome to do that. Change the DNS settings and you have to wait about 24 to 36 hours for it to propagate properly. I could lost a lot of visitors during those hours.

And now, even Stumbleupon is giving me problems. Not too sure whether it is my browser that is the culprit but I get a lot of intermittent problems with accessing Stumbleupon. Ahhh….my problems never ceases. Although it works some of the time, but most of the time, it just goes to an error page as shown below:

First I thought that it was Stumbleupon that is having problems. But when I searched forums and websites, nobody noticed anything wrong with their browser toolbar. Everyone seems to be able to stumble without any error message or database failure. I guess it is only me that is facing this weird problem. Or could it be because of my ISP? Previously I had problems with my ISP’s proxy which gave the error that too many users are using the same IP address. Yes, the same IP address is due to the proxy server. However, the problem seemed to be solved since I didn’t get that particular error message for quite sometime already.

Well, the only thing I can do now is to wait and see whether the problem will be solved either by my ISP or by Stumbleupon. I tried using Internet Explorer and it seems that the IE Stumbleupon toolbar gives the same error message as well. Yes, I know. I am addicted to web surfing. I can’t help myself but to channel surf. Everytime I look at that damn green-blue icon, I can stop myself from clicking on it and seeing where it will bring me. Shit, I am a Stumbleupon addict!
