Sharp Zaurus C3000

Summary of WTSA 2004
ITU has a good summary of the WTSA including the several Internet issues discussed in my previous entry. (via ITU SPU) The two main topic of the whole assembly could be summaries as (1) NGN (aka the move to packet-switch network) and (2) Internet issues (aka Spam, ENUM, IDN and ccTLD).
雍正王朝
Finally finish watching 雍正王朝. It is a long series (44CDs) on the story of Emperor Yong Zheng, the third Emperor in Qing Dynasty. Instead of typical fares where history is twist into some martial art cum romance story, the series follows closely with the history (with a bit of glorification to Yong Zheng). The story […]
Reinventing Government
Tom Peters’ posted a review of Bob Stone lastest book called “Polite Revolutionary: Lessons from an Uncivil Servant” which is particularly interesting to me because who I work for :-) He full well knew that he could not force change on the Federal bureaucracy; even the President rarely succeeds by frontal assault. And as a […]

Woosh! That sound very much like a conversation I […]
Software Patents
The news that Linux potentially infringes 283 patents initiate a strong reaction from the OSS community. Actually, just look at some examples of software patents and you will see the most common algorithms like Quicksort (#5,175,857) and Random Number Generator (#5,251,165). So pardon me while I marvel : “Only 283 patents?” Some folks, like Richard […]
Personal iTunes server
I stay up last night to fiddle with something really cool : iTunes Server on Linux. Now, I can have all my MP3s on my Linux server streamed to my Mac & Windows (running iTunes). And rendezvous (or mDNS) is incredible. Fire up my iTunes and it automatically detected my “home jukebox” with my MP3s. […]
Can Asians Think?
Can Asians Think? by Kishore Mahbubani Kishore wrote this book when he is serving as Singapore ambassador to United Nation. While it is a bit outdated, it is an incredible book on the subtle political in the foreign policies within Asia and with the West. For example, how (nuclear) energy plays an important political balance […]
