I had a dinner with Brough Turner last night. Brough is the founder and CTO of NMS Communications, a NASDAQ listed mobile application and infrastructure company. I really enjoyed our conversation that covers from all things technie from mobile to net neutrality. But above all, the story of the original community fiber project in Sweden […]

CommunicAsia Day 2
Plenty of meetings today, almost back to back, scheduled and unscheduled. Sadly, it also mean I missed a few meeting with some vendors…my apologies.

CommunicAsia Day 1
I was down with a flu yesterday so only managed to get to CommunicAsia 2006 this afternoon. I was told there are a lot more exhibitors this year but I “feel” there is less crowd compared to the last year. Yesterday, Minister Dr. Lee Boon Yang unveil the iN2015 IT masterplan so I went […]

Gmail for your domain
I love Gmail. I love the AJAX interface esp. the key shortcut. Overall, it is much better than my old Qmail+IMAP+SquirralMail setup. However, I still have my own domain (seng.sg) which I prefer. While sending out emails using my own email address isn’t a problem, I still need my own email server to receive and […]
