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 […]
My blogrolls
Sunday Times have an interview with the famous (notorious?) Singapore blogger xiaxue. Yes, I don’t just read technology related blogs like Joi Ito, John Patrick or Dan Gillmor. I also read foul-mouthed 20 year old girl who constantly bitch about her life. Speaking of my blogrolls, another worthy of mention is Mr Brown (blogger turn […]
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.” […]
“It’s about user experience”
In August Wired edition: Wired: First, carrier fought number portability. Now you won’t unlock out phones. Why shouldn’t I be able to take my handset from Cingular to another carrier? Ryan (Cingular VP): It’s about user experience. If you had a T-obile phone and switched to Cingular, you could run into problems getting mobile browsing […]
Wireless PS2 controller

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 […]
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 […]
