Took an overnight flight from Singapore and arrived in Dubai 7am in the morning. To my surprise, Taj Palace Hotel provided a transport to fetch me from the airport even though it is only about 5mins away. Checking in is unfortunately not that pleasant. They have a room reserved for me since last yesterday but […]
Availablity of IPv4 addresses
Paul Wilson (APNIC) just gave the presentation on the behalf of Geoff Huston at Dubai RIPE-NCC meeting here. The research is sponsored by APNIC and the answer, well, you know what to expect from Geoff. By considerating (a) the rate of IANA allocation (b) the rate of RIRs allocation (c) BGP tables on allocated but […]

I am flying tonight to Dubai to give a presentation on IDN at the RIPE-NCC meeting (the European Regional Internet Registries). I will be talking abit on IDN-OSS, hopefully getting more support for the project. :-) You can find my presentation here. This is my first trip to Dubai. Heard a lot of good stuff […]
DABL – PonG
I haven’t been blogging because I have been spending almost all my free time working on a Distributed Address Book List (DABL) which I called PonG. (Download) PonG is a tool which allows you and your friends to keep up-to-date (contact) information of each another. PonG package includes a PonG server and a PonG client. […]
My perspective of IPv6
A friend asked me what I thinks of IPv6 so I gave him a “short” answer. A modified version as below: There isn’t really much IPv6 applications driving it right now. The main advantage is still “more public IP addresses”, But to be fair, there is no contention in the community that IPv6 will come. […]
The future for television show

Paper on Social Software
I know there are tons of information, magazine articles written about Social Software but I couldn’t find any targetted at “bosses”. So when my boss asked me to explain Social Software, I thought “hey, why not do the paper in Wiki?”. Nothing beats using Social Software to do an article on Social Software. :-) So […]
Third Morality
Kevin Marks, a fellow IRCer at #joiito, has a habit of screwing with my brain with his rants on Jane Jacob’s Moral Syndromes, ie, Commerical vs Guardian. Before I have the time to absorb and understand these stuff, he throw a curved ball with Chris Phoneix’s Third Morality. I haven’t digest the article fully yet […]
Is Google the next DNS?
This is a question posted by Jeremy Zawodny. Just like to give a heads-up to ITU SPU Newsblog who gives an excellent explaination why Jeremy is not only wrong, but off the mark. The question is interesting but wrong since the comparison between a search engine and a deterministic lookup service like the DNS is […]
The future of TV
A joke was posted on Slashdot today titled What Should I Do If the Internet Goes Down?. One paragraph caught my attention. Televisions, strange boxes that sit in your parents’ living rooms, were once used to provide entertainment, long before DVDs and Playstations were invented. Televisions have the capability of broadcasting streaming information similar to […]
