I am now in San Diego for O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. I bang into Marc Canter on my way to the registration. Marc is the co-founder of Macromedia but he is really more well-known as a “connector” – he is a social animal who literally knows everyone! We spoke a bit – need to get […]

Breakfast with Dave Farber
Dave Farber (and his wife) was in San Jose for another event and I snatch the opportunity to meet up with them for breakfast this morning. I am glad I did because I really enjoy our breakfast conversation.
Reflections on VON
Finally, today is the last day of VON. So many things happened here that I can hardly catch my breath. It is time to sit down and reflect what I learn about VON. 1. This is the largest VON ever – 6,000+ people! (congz to pulver.com). This huge turn out means VoIP is no longer […]
VON Pre-conference
I spent my morning at Wifi VoIP Summit as I was given a slot to give a presentation about the APEET Trial. When I told the audience that QoS is the last thing in our mind in our trial, one of the audience jumped and said something to the effect that 802.11b can only support […]
Packed up ready to go to VON
Just finish packing my stuff and going to the airport now. I am going to VON Spring in San Jose. VON folks are kind enough to squeeze me a few minutes last minute at the Wifi VoIP Summit to give an update of the APEET Trial. I will also be on the VoIP blogger panel […]
Tokyo Day 6
Woke up late – This means less time for me at Akihabara which is a mistake because PSP is back in stock! I thought, hey, I could pick it up on my way back – duh! By the time I make one round, 4 hours gone and I have to rush off for my next […]
Kyoto Day 5
I survived the hectic week! Phew. And the trial went beautifully … Everyone loves it so much so that only 1 person return the phone on the last day, altho we have a long waiting lists of people wanting a set. Anyway, we will publish the results of the trial soon. APEET have a quick […]
Kyoto Day 4
Took most of my morning trying to do my presentation for the evening while sitting thru Asia Pacific IPv6 Summit. Sad to say, looks like IPv6 isn’t moving here as much as we want…I guess we have to keep trying. I escaped presenting at this summit this time because I really dont have much update […]
Kyoto Day 3
Couldn’t sleep and woke up at 6am. Went downstair to do my emails, met Toru Takahashi and went breakfast with him. Found out from him that one of his company is going IPO…again. To be exact, third time now. Remember, the last time I met him in Korea a year ago, same thing happened. Dunno […]
Kyoto Day 2
[In case it is still not obvious, all my travel entries are really for my wife (and my boss) who wants to know what I have been up to.] Started early and have breakfast with Marc Blanchet, the former co-chair of IDN WG with me. Anyway, Marc is back doing IPv6 and his small startup […]
