A friend asked me what I thinks of IPv6 so I gave him a “short” answer. A modified version as below: There isn’t really much IPv6 applications driving it right now. The main advantage is still “more public IP addresses”, But to be fair, there is no contention in the community that IPv6 will come. […]

The future for television show
I just have a discussion with Grant Henninger on using RSS feed on #joiito. <jseng> Grant: what we need is TV station providing RSS feed (channel) of their tv shows. Viewers will subscribe to the RSS feeds and then download the tv shows they want to watch. <Grant> jseng: i had a post that said […]
Paper on Social Software
I know there are tons of information, magazine articles written about Social Software but I couldn’t find any targetted at “bosses”. So when my boss asked me to explain Social Software, I thought “hey, why not do the paper in Wiki?”. Nothing beats using Social Software to do an article on Social Software. :-) So […]
Third Morality
Kevin Marks, a fellow IRCer at #joiito, has a habit of screwing with my brain with his rants on Jane Jacob’s Moral Syndromes, ie, Commerical vs Guardian. Before I have the time to absorb and understand these stuff, he throw a curved ball with Chris Phoneix’s Third Morality. I haven’t digest the article fully yet […]

Televisions have the capability of broadcasting streaming information similar to […]
New Thinking for the New Millennium
New Thinking for the New Millennium by Edward De Bono. They gave out this book to all attendee of Edward’s seminar on Creative Thinking And Lateral Thinking. It is a interesting book.
Skype & SIP
A reader of my “Predicting the future” series asked me if I can write about how Skype is the future. I replied to him that I believe in VoIP but I don’t the future is in Skype. Unfortunately, I didn’t go into details with him then. So I was quite please to see a very […]
Geoff Huston on ENUM
Geoff Hudston wrote an article for ISP Column on ENUM called “Lord of the Numbers“, one of the best introduction to ENUM I have seen so far. Incidently, Geoff said this in his article: Interestingly enough a close inspection of your local table of international dialing codes and a close inspection of the E.164 registry […]
IDN-OSS project
After a long delay, I finally got some time this weekend to start doing some work on IDN Open Source Software. It is an idea that was floated around at ICANN Montreal meeting and I spend a couple of weeks putting a proposal together. ..to develop quality RFC-compliant software to support IDN capabilities in different […]
