Sessions @ BarcampJB

2008-12-07T10:51:00.006+08:00

Barcamp is cool. Its way better than what i expected it to be.Things were casual and the place was full of crazies. But underlying all that craziness was some serious stuff going on. The discussions were intense.Everyone believes his/her idea is the next big thing, but it doesen't mean anything if you don't execute it properly.Chak from foldees.com was talking about his start up journey and hit

Barcamp JB- this wkend 6th & 7th December!

2008-12-05T15:40:00.009+08:00

Life has definently changed with the Internet. Just think for a moment, as little as 20 years back, people still had to carry around little 555 notepads with contact numbers scribbled on them. (some still do) Can you imagine how scary it would be to arrange a meeting at wherever it is that people need meet up.Well, you could say there weren't many places to hang out to begin with in the olden

Chrome me again!

2008-09-25T12:28:00.007+08:00

Previsouly i wrote about how i am leaving my new love and going back to my old love...sigh... things are changing so fast that now i'm lost between the two...torn between a reliable high usability environment and a frequently crashing, but constantly evolving love. Its really tough.Came across chromeplugins.org a while ago and it really had a couple of neat tricks and hacks for the chrome.And

Saying goodbye to Chrome... *sob**

2008-09-17T10:28:00.005+08:00

I was over the moon with google chrome every since it was launched...But it was pretty much puppy love, and its really a one sided love affair and recently i been thinking of my old love. I don't think i can live much longer with you.I miss how you show me the bookmarks on the left sidebar...I miss how you DON"T have weird little bugs...I miss how you show the title of the page in the window

Learning from our HISTORY.

2008-09-13T12:10:00.003+08:00

It is indeed a tense time for everyone here in malaysia.Although it is mind boggling why the government is doing what they are doing now, and at such a "teruk" timing.But i still firmly believe Malaysia is a place where the rule of LAW applies, and above all the rule of logic.IT is crucial at this time, that all of us, everyone in the country as malaysian should live our lives as usual, go out,

Here comes Google CHROME !

2008-09-02T12:38:00.000+08:00

Anything that is this good and free and from google is worth buzzing about.Google Chrome has arrived. This is really going to be the turning point for how we use the web.if you have not heard about chrome, check out its comic here. yeah, its a very creative comic script, and the approach to put up a comic as sales/marketing collateral..... excellent.this could have only come from google. and so

Gold Coins

2008-04-30T12:48:00.004+08:00

I remember when I was a kid, my dad came home from his job site lugging a brown cloth bag full of silver colored coins. Big round and grimy looking coins. The whole family then sat down after dinner to cleaning them, once by one. If I’m not wrong, there should be about 60 of them, colonial coins with the Queen printed on them, early 1900-1910s i think. And they made my hands black after

JB-Singapore MRT ?

2008-03-29T16:44:00.007+08:00

Now this really is good news!! The MRT is coming to town!!Especially for my fellow Johoreans who are working in Singapore or my Singaporean friends who might want to come to visit me. :)Althought i'm kind of skeptical about it when my dad told me about, well , he was the one who told me that all newspapers are government controlled mouthpieces, but anyway, fingers crossed and lets hope it turns

Earth Hour

2008-03-28T12:28:00.009+08:00

It has been often reported that our mother Earth is dying, and if we human "beans" continue to hump around the world and do as we like, pillaging and ruining the world for our selfish benefits with abdolute disregard for mother Earth. Life no Earth might not cease to exisit, but humans would probably be the next in line to become extinct.We've had lots of initiatives, especially from the NGOs,

Hanging out at pokies after uni..

2008-03-13T11:14:00.004+08:00

Yesterday was a unusual day. I was up early, had a quick breakfast and finished my work early. Don’t know why but something made me remember my student days, hanging out at the local pub after work on the pokie (slots, fruit, poker, whatever you call it) machines. To re-live my uni days.. online... i went to this site at onlineslotscity[dot]com. To give them credit, they really did their

There is good reason why I really love going online. Up online, I am able to search up my friends, check some the latest pics from the gang’s latest holiday trip to bali etc. But one favorite is surfing around looking for online casino sites…I must admit I am hopelessly addicted to poker, I didn’t even realized there are so many types of poker if I had not chanced upon a video on youtube

Its been a week of firsts and today I am going to reward myself and have some serious fun. Everyone says gambling is no good. But I would like to differ, from my viewpoint, I play to have fun. Winning of course would be good but that’s a bonus. First and foremost, its just plain fun.Its just too far to actually visit a casino so I’m visiting an online casino instead. But there are a few

Malaysian General Elections 2008

The Future of Mobile Technology.

2008-01-28T12:58:00.001+08:00

The world is an amazgin place.. and things are happening at breakneck speed.Take for example, China Telecom is adding about 6million subscribers a month to its business and taking into account the still untapped potential of the chinese market alone, they won't even have to venture beyond china's borders.. at least not in the near future.One other concern i have is the burgeoning impact of mobile

No Petrol Day 24th Jan 2008

2008-01-23T14:08:00.000+08:00

I have just received an email from a friend... and the contents of which are quite interesting. It talks of about getting everyone or at least as many people as we can not to pump petrol on Jan 24th. It would be quite a problem for the oil companies if everyone decided to do just that, yeah we might need petrol... but i think one day without buying petrol won't harm me as much as it would harm

Aquaduct - human technology for the world.

In rural settlements all around the world, water is obtained either from a well, or from river sources. Most often, the water source is far away making the transportation tedious and time consuming.Anyone heard of Aquaduct.. its a prototype developed by the for the transportation of water from the water source to its required destination.

A peek into Construction Skills

2008-01-15T10:34:00.000+08:00

I’m was doing some research on some renovation stuff to get ready for the big day and being the attention to details freak that I am, I decided to find out more on how things are done in the construction industry.I’ve got contractors suggesting fantastic but expensive methods, for things like covering up an open drain alongside a stretch of turf…. For exmple…like putting down a 15cm PVC pipe

Time sure flies like it didn’t matter at all. It sure brought back memories of school when I saw a couple of kids play touch footy a few streets down. Its such a beautiful game, rugby. I can’t play it at all, but I’m a great fan. Touch footy is fine, I just don’t feel like breaking my wrist again on the pitch.Its regimented, vigorous, and requires the players to be strong both physically and

The Golden Compass

2007-12-14T11:48:00.000+08:00

This is something that has been on my mind....Can a mere fictional story book be used to sway our faith in the Lord God Almighty?After all, speaking from personal experiences, it was the Da Vinci Code(ironically) that actually introduced me to the presence of the Lord. Well, he does seem to work in mysterious ways but i am going to watch the Golden Compass and read the trilogy anyways. It a

Engagement Rings

2007-11-28T13:25:00.000+08:00

Getting a engagement ring is no small feat. I have been looking around for a while, but I just can’t seem to find the right one. Well for most of the time, the shops that I’ve gone to often just pull out their top of the range, $five $digit range of diamonds, and flush me with heaps of mumbo jumbo about how good the diamond is, and pray that I bite. And they always play on your conscience, saying

What is a PayDay Loan?

2007-11-16T16:44:00.000+08:00

Feeling a bit tight on your wallet or purse? Need a little buffer to tide over till the next paycheck? Why not get a payday loan? Sometimes the term cash advance is also used, what it basically is, a short term personal loan that can range from £80 to £750. However the amount will of course have to be accepted upon by the lender. Where to find a good lender with the best rates and facilities?

Ashop is huge, it seems that they have another presence at ashopcommerce.com, apart from the one at ashop.com.au. I believe the .com site allows it to capture a more global market, and fittingly they have prices for all the three main regions, the US, the UK and Australia. The packages are sort of the same although with slight variations in prices and presentation but essentially all their

The closest one is in the mountains 400kms away(literally), although the closer neighbor down south is currently busy building one. Two actually. No I’m not a serious gamer or anything. But it is quite fun to fool around with the jackpot
