2007 Site Hosting Upgrades
Been around with my host lately to discuss upgrades to the my current hosting plans of shaunchng.com. Having doubled both my webspace and bandwidth to accommodate for future site expansions. Though my site doesn’t really take up much space (about 380MB in pages and images in total), bandwidth was a particular concern especially with the increasing traffic to the site (about 450MB transferred daily form page views alone).
The site had always and will still be hosted on a lightning fast Singaporean server, which is not really the cheapest in the market, especially we know about Overseas hosts offering like 300Gb of webspace and 3TB of bandwidth at a fraction of the hosting rates I am paying for, I believe those are gimmicks, and my current host had been performing to expectations to date so I am sticking with them.

Farewell Captain America, for now
Well, yer all Marvel Fans, especially Captain America Fans here are some news to expect in the coming issue of Marvel Comics. Yes, folks, Captain America is dead and buried in the latest issue of Marvel Comics’ “Fallen Son,” due on newsstands 5th July 2007.
After 66 years of battling villains from Adolf Hitler to the Red Skull, the red, white and blue leader of the Avengers was felled by an assassin’s bullet on the steps of a New York federal courthouse.
Captain America was headed to court after refusing to sign the government’s Superhero Registration Act, a move that would have revealed his true identity. A sniper who fired from a rooftop was captured as police and Captain America’s military escort were left to cope with chaos in the streets.
But the sniper didn’t act alone, and didn’t even fire the shot that killed the captain…
Why did Marvel Comics kill off the patriotic superhero? Writer Jeph Loeb has been busy working through the stages of grief in his most recent titles. A book centered on Wolverine dealt with denial; one with the Avengers covered anger; and Spider-Man battled depression.
With the story line so relevant to present-day politics, and the timing of the latest issue so precise, it’s hard not to think the whole thing is one big slam on the government.
Since then, Marvel Entertainment Inc., has sold more than 200 million copies of Captain America magazine in 75 countries.
In the most recent story line, he became involved in a superhero “civil war,” taking up sides against Iron Man in the registration controversy, climaxed by his arrest and assassination.
Marvel says you never know what will happen. He may make it back from the dead after all, although Loeb says that question isn’t really important right now.
