DOS Emulator on Java
When I was playing with Ruby on Rail, I thought this was really cool. An AJAX ruby interpreter running off the browser. Then I saw this and I was blow off. DOS Emulator on Java. Anyway, if you miss those games from the 80s, go try it out :-)
Nexus 2007
Nexus 2007 definitely exceed all our expectations. The folks at The Digital Movement certainly done a great job. Well done! The session with the IT veterans/big shots was a great session by itself but really out of place with the rest of the sessions. The culture gap is very obvious. And oh, Cory (of Secondlife) […]

Unconference in Singapore
Last week, I attended Unconference organized by the local Entrepreneur27. Others like Kevin has covered the event so I won’t but I share some thoughts instead. Unconference (and also BarCamp a few weeks before) is unique in many ways. It is close to what you get in the typical “cool” or “geek” event in the […]
Dummy Guide to Wifi Network

First, it is an article on dailywireless.com, a site that I read occasionally and second, it is a pretty good guide to securing wifi network. How-to: Secure a Wireless LAN By now […]
Repairing Submarine Cables
Alcatel, one of the major submarine cable builder in the world, has an interesting resource page on submarine cables like an animation on how to repair submarine cables cut. (via Ben Frankes) The animation looks easy. Detect the cut, pick up one cable, then the other and then join them back. Even considering it takes […]
