I was often asked to help to look at some company. Google was obvious the starting point which would more likely than not find me the company website. Now, it is really useful that there is an unspoken practice to have a “About Us” (or somethng similar) link on a well designed company website. It […]

Holiday…Ha!
Today is suppose to be a holiday in Singapore – It is the National Day. Holiday..Ha! I think I had five “business” meeting today. -_-;; Lunch was fun: with a bunch of very experience technoprenuers (lots of radio guys :) who now went on to run their own company or now helping others to start […]
Finding a new comfort zone
Lately, I find I have less and less opportunity to write about what I am doing or my interest. Having to blog while under Official Secrets Act may seem like a challenge but surprisingly I find it harder to do so now than ever. Perhaps I was more familiar with my work back then before […]
MacOSX on Intel
A few days ago, I got a few hours spare so I got myself a new Mac…well, kind of. I got Mac OSX running on my HP Pavillion. Nope, it is not those hacks you do to make your Windows look like a Mac (I did that two years ago). Or the super slow […]
日本語.jp
Prof. Goto gave me a copy of this book last week at the APAN meeting. It is a book about the history of IDN and the long journey we took to reach “日本語.jp”. :-) I wish my Japanese is good enough to read it tho. But flipping through the book, I saw names and photos […]

Three sleepless nights and finally, we are done! But damn, NDA so not nothing to say right here except it is a very big project! About 34,000 sqkm big involving over 100M USD. Just glad it is over and I am now at the airport heading home! Wohoo! I am also very sorry that I […]
How to give US$40B away
Warren Buffett, a man who I hold great admiration for, is now giving away (85% of) his fortune, worth US$40B. That’s what I called donation. Buffett has pledged to gradually give 85% of his Berkshire stock to five foundations. A dominant five-sixths of the shares will go to the world’s largest philanthropic organization, the $30 […]
The original community FTTH
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 […]
Wasp Nest
When you discover a wasp nest in your car, it is a sign you should be spending more time at home.
In Jakarta again
On my way back to Singapore for CommunicAsia next week, I decided to drop by Jakarta, staying at Marriott again. …Okay, that is oxymoron ;-) Anyway, I am here for a day before pop’ing back to Singapore tomorrow. Incidently, if you notice the increase of the use of photos on the blog lately, well, say […]
