Flying to Bay Area
I am packing my stuff and flying to Bay Area in a few hours time. I will be attending Supernova 2004 and also Apple World Wide Developer Conference 2004 and meeting some pretty cool people! Oh, please sign up for pre-conference dinner which is open to anyone whether you’re going to attend Supernova or not. […]
CommunicAsia 2004 and IP Phones
CommunicAsia Exhibition is huge this year! Between CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia, they took up the whole Singapore Expo! (Singapore Expo can normally house 2-8 concurrent large-scale exhibitions) I spend an afternoon just walking through the booths briefly, stopping only to talk to IP Telephony Service Providers (ITSP) and IP Phone manufacturers. The usual suspect are there […]
Integrated IT Platform to Make Trade Information Flows More Efficient
Another project, codename ‘InfoPort’, I did in IDA just went public today, announced by our minister Dr. Lee Boon Yang. An integrated IT platform that manages the flow of trade-related information is set to make Singapore more competitive as a world class port and logistics hub. This platform will enable exchange of information between shippers, […]
IX 2004
Okay, it is confirmed: Dave Farber is unable to make it to Singapore :-( I spend the whole morning cancelling the meetings for Dave and looking for a replacement speaker for CommunicAsia 2004. Luckily, Dr. Lawrence Wong agreed to do so on short notice. (Thanks Lawrence! I owe you one! :-) So I missed the […]
MT to Drupal Migration Tool
I just hack up an alternate method to migrate from MT to drupal. Download mt2drupal.tar.gz. This is a perl script written as an MT-plugin, utilizing on MT libraries to export the data directly into Drupal database (limitation: only for MySQL for now). So unlike http://drupal.org/node/view/6141, you do not need to generate large intermediate php files […]
Exciting weeks to come…

Hacking codes is an Art
A couple of days ago, an old friend William sent me an IM saying he is “surprised to see me coding again” (refering to Drupal for Bloggers). I suppose the real question in his (and many others) mind is “Why are you still coding!?”. I suppose “programmer” is no longer as prestigious a title as […]
Drupal 4 Bloggers v0.7
Just release Drupal 4 Bloggers v0.7. This is a major release with lots of changes and bugfixes. One of the most difficult to use Drupal as a blog is customzing the look-and-feel. It is almost impossible to do without some php programming knowledge which is beyond most bloggers – you are pretty much struck with […]
Upload speed
Saw this on Straits Times paper today: NO MENTION OF UPLOAD SPEEDS: Singapore’s Internet broadband providers are offering access speeds of 1,500 kbps and 3,000 kbps. However, one thing their advertisements fail to mention is the upload speed (data speed from user to Internet). When I signed up for a 1,500 kbps connection last year, […]
