Mercury News ran a story on Michael Powell field trip to the Sillicon Valley (via Jeff Pulver). “Now to be a phone company, you don’t have to weave tightly the voice service into the infrastructure. You can ride it on top of the infrastructure. So if you’re a Vonage, you own no infrastructure. You own […]

Picking Management
“People don’t work for their organization. They work for their boss.” I can’t remember where I read about this but it is something that remains true so far I have seen. Don’t get me wrong: I am not saying the junior or middle management is more important then the senior management. Instead, I am suggesting […]
Unison = Peace of Mind
I have a lot of files. I kept all my files since 90s, documents, emails, everything. These files are scattered across different desktops and notebooks as I move them from one to another over the years. It become confusing and difficult to keep track of all my files. So while sorting out my desktops and […]
Christmas spammer
Merry Christmas! I have a lovely present this christmas: A blog spammer. :-) As I have a captcha plugin, the poor guy have been entering comment manually using innocent looking comment (e.g. “Yes, this is a good page”).

Dean Howard
Jay Leno, in his talk show making fun of Saddam said, “They say he (Saddam) was confused; he was disoriented. It’s the same conditon Al Gore was in before he endorsed Howad Dean.” The last statement really makes my blood boil, so much so that I decided that I will boycott Jay Leno talkshow from […]
The future of Voice
David Beckemeyer has a follow up on his entry on IP Telephony. We are definately in sync altho I have a two comments. First, I agree with David that ENUM is not a magic bullet to the universal addressibility problem with current IP Telephony deployment. If the basic infrastructure is a close network, ENUM, which […]
