Xiulin IM me urgently that someone defaced her blog last night. “OMG! Her blog is on my machine!” as I started to work to find how “dodo”1 managed to do it. My biggest concern is that if he managed to break other stuff I have on my machine! So after helping her to restore her […]

Country of Fear
Take a look at How Long Can the Country Stay Scared? by Bruce Schneier (via Dan Gillmor). The DHS’s threat warnings have been vague, indeterminate, and unspecific. The threat index goes from yellow to orange and back again, although no one is entirely sure what either level means….This kind of behavior is all that’s needed […]
Fahrenheit 911 factchecks
Here are Michael Moore’s extensive factchecking notes on Fahrenheit 911. (via Joiito). What it doesn’t say is how Michael strings the facts together in such a way to paint a reality he likes his audience to see. (No, don’t get me wrong…I watched the show in US and love it :-) Incidently, the next few […]
Sharing Wifi
Was about to leave for the pre-WWDC party tonight when I saw someone wandering at the corridor with his Apple notebook, scanning with Mac Stumbler for an open Wifi network he can use. So I asked him wait while I go back to my room, turn on my Airport sharing and let him access the […]
Fahrenheit Reservation
Reservation : An arrangement by which accommodations are secured in advance as defined in dictionary.com but apparently not the same definition used by San Francisco Marriott who cancel my room reservation. They bumped me to the Palomar Hotel across the road for tonight and I still have problem for Monday night. This really sux! Anyway, […]

Supernova 2004 Day 1
Finally, I understand why Supernova has a “Get Connected” tagline. (Oh, check out Supernova blog. Fast Company also have a very good blog transcripting the event.) The human network here is incredible, many cool people, many CEOs, MDs and VCs and many bloggers. And it is nice to meet some old friends (John Patrick, Adam […]
CommunicAsia 2004 and IP Phones
CommunicAsia Exhibition is huge this year! Between CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia, they took up the whole Singapore Expo! (Singapore Expo can normally house 2-8 concurrent large-scale exhibitions) I spend an afternoon just walking through the booths briefly, stopping only to talk to IP Telephony Service Providers (ITSP) and IP Phone manufacturers. The usual suspect are there […]
IX 2004
Okay, it is confirmed: Dave Farber is unable to make it to Singapore :-( I spend the whole morning cancelling the meetings for Dave and looking for a replacement speaker for CommunicAsia 2004. Luckily, Dr. Lawrence Wong agreed to do so on short notice. (Thanks Lawrence! I owe you one! :-) So I missed the […]
