It is a meeting where AP network researchers get together to discussing advance networking issues and also a place where Advance Research and Education Network (AREN) (and also the GRID lately) people gather to discuss network collobration.

Where is FCC heading?
Scott Bradner’s latest article is a must-read. I come to similiar observation, that FCC seem to be moving further and further right ever since the new Chairman is in. The last few critical rulings on 911 on VoIP, Naked DSL has sided towards the incumbents and less on the consumers. I know FCC is basically […]
mplayer tricks
Several months ago, I mentioned I was looking for mplayer documention. My wife has a bunch of wma files which she ripped using Windows Media Player but can’t play on iPod or iTunes now. We could probably rip again but being OSS geek, we like to inflict pain upon ourselves to look for the most […]

After spending a few days running between Raffles City Convention (where they have the conference) and Singapore Expo (where they have the event), and given they are 30mins drive apart, I started to question the IQ of the organizers. But other then that, it has been a great event. CommunicAsia […]

Solaris & Mac
Jonathan is inviting Steve to use Solaris as the base OS for Mac: So I’d like to personally invite you to adopt Solaris 10 as the underpinning of the next generation Mac. We both respect Unix, both respect innovation*, and both clearly see volume opportunities in extending choice to developers. We’d love to work together. […]

The tail wagging the dog
Remember the days you buy a CD player bundled with a free headphone? That’s just barely a decade ago. Today, you buy a headphone and get a free CD player1. This is very much like Criagslist looking to offer news or as someone said “the classified eating the rest of the papers”. How technology and […]
