Who could advocate blogging […]
Leaving for Brunei

But as powerful as drupal. is, it is still fairly complex for a typical non-geek blogger. So instead of waiting around for it to be matured, I decided to start modifying drupal to […]
Problems with Bayesian…

I still don’t like Blacklist concept (been-there, done-that in Email) but I have to admit there are serious problem with MT-Bayesian. 1. Bayesian is extremely CPU intensive. Bayesian algorithm isn’t complex but it suck up a lot CPU resources. This […]
