Over a month but I am back. First, I like to thank all those took the time to email me. I appreciate your concerns but I dont wish to discuss the reasons behind my blog intermission. Nevertheless, I hope I will be back on permanent basis. So what happened in the last month? Lets see, […]

Blog Intermission
I have a lot of things I wanted to write, on Dave Farber recent trip in Singapore, on the first ENUM conference which is happening in Miami (I am sorry, I have to bailed out last minute), etc etc. But for reasons that I do not wish to discuss, I am putting all these blogging […]

To advance Singapore’s development in […]

Solaris & Mac
Jonathan is inviting Steve to use Solaris as the base OS for Mac: So I’d like to personally invite you to adopt Solaris 10 as the underpinning of the next generation Mac.
