Email, a Dying Technology
A friend once told me “A guru is one who advocates common sense…except he makes sense of it before it is common.”. It is easy to look back on hindsight and make remarks how obvious things are but foresights are often not so easy. For instance, no one doubts that Internet is here to stay […]
I am not evil
Wandered into Gematriculator today, a service that uses the infallible methods of Gematria to determine how good or evil a web site or a text passage is by looking at text starting with vowels and the divisiblity with 7 (a God number). I am rated 77% good and 23% evil *grin*
Innovator’s Dilemma
The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen. Actually, not a new book but I digged out from my closet and re-read it last week for some internal presentations. Highly recommended for someone who is interested in technology trends. Incidently, in the course of doing research for my presentation, I also come across this article The Myth of […]
Microsoft XP SP2 impression
lol. (via seattlepi.com) Matthew Fordahl of the Associated Press reviews the service pack in this story: “With the latest update to Microsoft Corp.’s Windows XP operating system, personal computers will soon join parents, bosses, teachers and spouses as a source of nagging in your life. But as mom always said, it’s for your own good.” […]
Wireless PS2 controller

Day 6 at IETF

And if it expose to end-users, you never know what creative things they will do with it. Yet on the other hand, I agree with […]
Bush thinking of new ways to harm his country and his people
Hahahahaha. From BBC News. (via MrBrown) “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful – and so are we,” the US president told a high-level meeting of Pentagon officials. “They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people – and neither do we.”
Day 5 at IETF
It is 2am in the morning. My jetlag finally hit me … I got knockout at 2pm and slept all the way until now. *sigh* Now I am wide awake and what should I do? :P Let see, I could play with my new iPod ;-) I went to the Apple store today with Andrew […]
Day 3 at IETF
Actually I wasn’t at IETF. Instead, I went out to visit Lindows (aka Linspire) and SIPPhone.com who is based in UTC in San Diego. I met Michael Robertson about a couple of months ago in Singapore and this is basically a courtesy call to catch up on things. Michael is not in town unfortunately, but […]
