Was featured in Flyingchair.net today, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. Phil (the site owner) is running the Asia Weblog Awards and some friends from PETRONAS (the place where i work) has been voting for my blog, the VOI. Unfortunately, on Phil's logs, it seems as though someone has been cheating by voting for me multiple time since all the votes have been coming from the same IP address, 170.38.99.120 (which is the PETRONAS address in the Twin Towers). But in reality, friends from in PETRONAS have been voting for me, thus the multiple votes from the same IP.
Don't blame Phil - there is no way for him to be able to tell the difference between a valid and cheat vote which comes from the same IP address, short of emailing back the people who voted to see whether they really did.
Oh well. Best intentions tend to go awry once in a while.
