TypeKey problem solved
Though the TypeKey Team has responded to my complaints over the commenter authentication problem, they are all cookie-cutter templated answers which didn't help me solve the issue.
It was our trusted webmaster -- he has silently volunteered his time to help me since 1999 -- who got it fixed. He analysed and isolated the problem by updating the resolv.conf, and by resetting the nameserver to Jaring, Screenshots' existing web host located in the core of MSC.
On the surface, it was related to an effort, last week, by the local ISPs to streamline Internet traffic flow within the country. Subsequently, the server for jeffooi.com couldn't access, and ping, to any server outside, including the servers running the TypeKey authentication process in the US.
I am now made fully aware of what actually had transpired. We are looking at the digital trail very closely.

JEFF OOI says: I am currentlt fighting a defamation suit alongside blogger Rocky. I have been advised by my lawyers, who reviewed some of the readers' comments, that I should exercise extra-caution over readers comments which may prejudice, or be seen as subjudice to the on-going case. As such, a majority of commenters will be subject to moderating before their comments get published. So, you have to deal with the new scenario for now.

I set our servers to use OpenDNS, and all my computers.

All is fine now.

"I am now made fully aware of what actually had transpired. We are looking at the digital trail very closely." Fishy odors!
This is getting INTERESTING. Hopefully we will get to read about what actually transpired?

Make sure the web server's log files are beyond the reach of thieves.
Consider overseas hosting if you must.

Jeff, is this Typekey issue an accident or a result of the ISP effort?

If I'm not mistaken, it probably might have something to do with the streamlining some settings for the Malaysian Internet Exchange? MyIX - see http://www.myix.gov.my/
I could be wrong, but its just a guess. I heard last week other parts of Cyberjaya also had some downtime as well, probably due to this too.

I managed to login without problem because I had ticked the box "remember my password for two weeks". Only yesterday, i couldn't due to the expiry of two weeks period from my initial signing in.
