Isn’t it ironical?
A friend come up to me last night and asked me why I am against the .ASIA TLD bid. “You are a public figure now! You can’t go around saying things like this!”, he said. Me, a public figure? Haha…and I thought I am just another engineer-geek in the AP community. But isn’t it ironical […]
Orkut…What next?
Orkut has done a lot of things “right” like its user-friendly interface. Unfortunately, when it comes to “what next”, it fails quite miserably. It does not know whether if it should be a casual social network like friendster or commerical social network like linkedin. It also not able to tell its users (like me) what […]

My sincere apologises. I started the day very early with APRICOT AC discussion of the venue for APRICOT 2006. It was a […]

How I wish…
I was reading a article by Steve Gillmor (via Dan Gillmor) where he discuss the problem of having too many updates. Oh boy, how I understand this problem… How I wish there is an RSS reader that can filter and sort feeds into categories so I can read those interest me most. I don’t want […]
Day 3 in Kuala Lumpur
I woke up early this morning, maybe too much beer last night. Or perhaps I was excited over the panel I am suppose to be with Dave Crocker on SPF and antispam. Our offline debates have been colourful so I couldn’t wait for the real thing. But as it turned out, the panel was shifted […]
