Johannesburg…
I got the most interesting speaker gift this trip: Flexopower, a portable solar battery charger for mobile phone made by a company in Johannesburg. I havent got the time to play with it but it sound pretty cool. Hey, now I can continue to make phone calls under the hot sun! I also visited a […]
The Castle Kyalami
Arrived in Johannesburg and checked into The Castle Kyalami outside the city. This is where iWeek is going to be held. There are wireless in the hotel but it wasn’t working very well. The hotel staff unfortunately is not helpful. So, I went around the castle and managed to figure out the cabling and […]

After Internet2
Guess whats the event after Internet2? Okay, Cruise Missile is definitely out of my league :) Anyway, this Internet2 trip for me is all about routing: How network A connect to network B when there are multiple paths, one shorter latency and another bigger pipe and unfortunately not both at the same time, and how […]
