I don’t normally blog news in Singapore because there isn’t a lot of exciting news (and also I seldom read local newspaper anymore). But there are interesting two news in Straits Times today. First of all, 24 bloggers will be blogging live from National Day Parade (9th Aug) on www.ndp.org.sg. While it is common for […]
End of an Era for PostOne
I probably should blog about this earlier but forgotten until this reminded me: PostOne.com is shutting down. PostOne.com started as a project (Pobox, which is why I have pobox.org.sg) I did for fun back in 1994. The idea comes from a discussion I have with Markus Ranum (of Firewall-1 fame). There was this cool thing […]
Michael Powell’s blog
Got the news that Michael Powell, chairman of FCC started a blog on AlwaysOn (via Interesting-People) I am participating in Always On Network’s blog to hear from the tech community directly and try to get beyond the traditional inside the Beltway Washington world where lobbyists filter the techies. I am looking forward to an open, […]

Drupal for Bloggers v0.9
Having some time today, I done some hacking on Drupal for Bloggers today and release v0.9. Foremost, I ported my popular MT Security Code (CAPTCHA) plugin to D4B. CATPCHA which stands for ‘Completely Automated Public Turning test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart’ can be enabled to prevent bots from spamming comments. When posting comments, […]
Another idea for comment spam
Dave Winer have another interesting idea to deal with comment spams. Here’s a free idea I had the other day while cleaning up a spewage of comment spam. What if comments, by default, were deleted after 24 hours? What if the owner of the site had to check a box in order for a comment […]
Jonathan Schwartz’s Weblog
Jonathan Schwartz, the President and COO of Sun Microsystems, now has a weblog (via Kevin Werbach). Jonathan was one of the keynote speaker at Supernova and I am very impressed with his soft-spoken, but smart and thoughtful evangelism.

802.11a may still win the Wifi war
With the rise of popularity of 802.11b, there are two promising work on higher speed Wifi: 802.11a that on 5Ghz range and 802.11g that on 2.4Ghz range. Both boast of similar speed at around 54mbps but 11g is backward compatibility with 11b whereas 11a isn’t. And as 11a runs on different spectrum, you need another […]
