OCED Antispam Workshop is a suit and tie conference, something I am not very used to. Luckily, knowing Korea, I packed my suit with me so I dont look so out of place this time round. The main discussion on Day 1 revolves around an “OCED Antispam Toolkit”. But don’t think of it as a […]

Arrived in BusanÙ
Sitting beside me on the flight to Korea is Anthony Houlahan, the new Strategic Director for Lucent, who is also coming to Busan for the ITU Telecom Asia. We almost unable to come to Busan because Busan airport was shutdown due to typhoon but they reopened the airport just before our flight *phew*. Anyway, just […]
See you in Busan
Flying off to Busan (Korea) to give a speech at OECD Antispam Workshop. See you there!
Day 6 at IETF
I attended the BoF on URI. The discussion on lower barrier on IANA registration on URI scheme sound scary to me, esp the protocol identifiers are been exposed to end-users. 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 […]
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 […]
Day 4 at IETF
Carrier ENUM is a disaster! Basically, I screwed up big time and failed to managed the time. Or perhaps I was stumbling (I notice I do that when I dont get enough sleep). Either way, what happened is that while we still taking strawpolls of requirements, before discussing next step, half of room suddenly stand […]
Day 2 at IETF
I found out I left my power adaptor in the airport lounge in LAX and now stuck here with a risk of power shortage :P Luckily, Andrew was kind enough to visit Frys1 with me yesterday and I got a new power adaptor. The bad news is the Frys only have this ridiculous looking adaptor […]
Day 1 at IETF
I am now at Sheraton in San Diego. The last time I was here is in 2000 for IETF #49. Nothing seem to change much but it appears almost everyone who is vacating in US is here in San Diego. I almost couldn’t get a hotel at all and have to stay at the Hilton […]
Singapore-Los Angeles Long Haul on SQ20
This is the first time I took the 16th non-stop long haul Singapore-Los Angeles SQ20 flight. The plane is full but I dont feel cramped at all given the space they gave to each passenger. The Executive Economy seat (all travels are at economy now :p) is almost as good as the old Raffles Class. […]
