One of the problem of not attending meetings for a while is you start to forget someone name. Okay, at least I have that problem. So many times that someone come forward to say hi and I have to struggle to remember their name, esp. I cant see their name tag. For those whose name […]

APRICOT Day 1
I missed my flight from Singapore to Perth. It was really silly; I was doing my email in the lounge and I forgot the time :( By the time I ran to the gate, they just closed it. *sigh* The next available flight was at 9:30am the next day, so I ended up having to […]
APRICOT 2006
I am now waiting for my flight to Perth for APRICOT 2006. Sitting at the Krisflyer lounge, I have a feel a bit out of place…Perhaps I havent travelled for a while. Ever since I told my boss I am leaving IDA, I grounded (myself) from any travelling. Its going to difficult for me and […]
Moving on…
I probably should have blog about this earlier but I really have been enjoying the little break. Anyway, I left IDA about two weeks ago. This shouldnt come as a surprise for many. In fact, some may be wondering why it took so long? Some of you were already awared of my intention to leave […]
Beyond The Age of Innocence
Beyond the Age of Innocence by Kishore Mahbubani A couple of weeks ago, I meet Kishore, the former ambassador of Singapore to the UN and currently the Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for some work related matter. I remember fondly of his previous book Can Asians Think so after the meeting, […]
Will you still remember what you know?
I was googling myself (was trying to look for some article I wrote on usenet many years ago) and found something else instead, an email I wrote about 11 years ago on BugTraq. Just like to ask a stupid question. Is “5 -> [0301]:24718” a hard link or is it a soft link? (sorry..i dont […]
Patently Absurb
Found this article about RIM and NTP patent lawsuit. (via Slashdot). It is so absurb that I don’t even know where to start. A few million could settle it initially become a billion dollar lawsuit. Through arrogance, blunder and bad advice, RIM’s potential bill had shot up from a few million dollars before the trial […]
Happy Chinese New Year
Update: If you are look for the 2006 ad, click here. Happy Chinese New Year! I was at my folk place in Malaysia for a couple of days for Chinese New Year celebration. No, thank goodness, no passport story that makes it on national paper like last year:P Anyway, I wanted to share this advertisement […]
HP Pavilion DV4000 and Dopod 900
Yes, I switched back to the darkside again a few weeks ago. No, I haven’t give up on my Macs but playing WoW on Powerbook for the last few months, the conclusion is: Sorry, it just didnt cut it. So alas, time to went shopping for a notebook with enough juice. Sad to say, none […]
A matter of national security
I could stop laughing at this: Richard Forno, a principal consultant for KRvW Associates and a former senior security analyst for the House of Representatives, believes that Microsoft is a threat to national security. The White House, Congress, and Department of Defense all run Windows and send and receive e-mail on MS Exchange Server—exploitable Microsoft […]
