I survived the hectic week! Phew. And the trial went beautifully … Everyone loves it so much so that only 1 person return the phone on the last day, altho we have a long waiting lists of people wanting a set. Anyway, we will publish the results of the trial soon. APEET have a quick […]

Kyoto Day 4
Took most of my morning trying to do my presentation for the evening while sitting thru Asia Pacific IPv6 Summit. Sad to say, looks like IPv6 isn’t moving here as much as we want…I guess we have to keep trying. I escaped presenting at this summit this time because I really dont have much update […]
Kyoto Day 3
Couldn’t sleep and woke up at 6am. Went downstair to do my emails, met Toru Takahashi and went breakfast with him. Found out from him that one of his company is going IPO…again. To be exact, third time now. Remember, the last time I met him in Korea a year ago, same thing happened. Dunno […]
Kyoto Day 2
[In case it is still not obvious, all my travel entries are really for my wife (and my boss) who wants to know what I have been up to.] Started early and have breakfast with Marc Blanchet, the former co-chair of IDN WG with me. Anyway, Marc is back doing IPv6 and his small startup […]
Kyoto Day 1
Have breakfast at Suguru Yamaguchi. I know him when he is still a “young” professor many years ago but now, he is the IT Security Advisor to the Japan Cabinet and Prime Minister. Wow very important person now! Anyway, have a little discussion with him on privacy and asked him to hook up with Joi. […]
Perfect Execution
My original plan is this: arrived in Osaka-Kansai airport at 1532, clear custom by 1552, take shinkansei at 1616 and arrived in Kyoto at 1729 so as to get to my dinner appointment at 1600 in Hotel Granvia next to Kyoto station. The (not) surprisingly thing is that this work out perfectly in Japan : […]
Off to Kyoto
Off to Kyoto now for APRICOT 2005. Sleep really late last night (3am) and have to wake up at 6am to rush for the flight and almost couldn’t make it. Luckily I did because I have a dinner to rush to immediate upon arrival. Oops, last call now. See you in Kyoto!
APAN Bangkok
I am in the airport lounge again, waiting to fly to Bangkok for APAN (Asia Pacific Advance Network). Most people probably never heard of APAN because it belongs to the world of academics but it is fairly similar to Internet2 in US. Anyway, I attend APAN once in a while when there is something going […]
Off to Bali
I am off to Bali for a quick trip. The purpose of the trip is to look at the proposed venue for APRICOT 2007 (yes, 2007 ;-). Speaking of APRICOT, 2005 will be held in Kyoto late next month. I haven’t been back to Kyoto since my honeymoon two years ago and I been looking […]
Safe and Sound
Yep, I am still alive and kicking. Nope, I wasn’t swiped away by the Tsunami. I was in the highland Genting in the Resort Hotel which is designed poorly specifically to keep you outside the room and spend more time in the Casino1. With no CNN and BBC, pardon me when I asked ‘what earthquake?’ […]
