Stuff and attributes you need to be a good Malaysian driver A keen sixth sense to sense when the car infront of you is going to turn left or right. This is useful when mr signal guy infront either : a) hasn't figured out that motorised vehicle has a technology called signal lights or b) hasn't figure out how to off this newly found technology. Lightning reflexes for manuvering your vehicle to

The indomitable human spirit When we want to look for examples for the highest and purest form of the human spirit very often we have to look in the lowest and dirtiest nook and crannies of human life as the human spirit only shines in the darkest and in the most hopeless of situations. Like how a diamond is formed from coal by pressure, it takes the worst to bring out the best in us. Everyweek

XTreme Programming through life Let's face it humans are social creatures and wether we like it or not most of the time we crave social interaction with people. That imho is the basis of some of the principles of XTreme Programming. It's principles of doubling teaming during projects, frequent meetings i feel cater for the inherent need for humans to communicate and reach out to another.I

The windabloze update utility is liek windabloze .. it's full of shit That stupid windabloze update utility is really full of shit. I have never liked systems that rely on a gui for installing and finding updates. Windabloze takes it one step further. It uses IE !! When i click on it it supposedly scans for updates from microsoft I think but somehow the updates are never ever correct. Updates

As I scrambled out of bed today I felt groggy and unrested. Silently I thought to myself wether this is what they meant by "Getting up the wrong side of bed"... a few minutes later , my worst fears were realised when my mom started to ask me about fixing a bedroom bath sink that was spoilt in my house.... The thing about me is I was never really one you would call as good with my hands .. I was

Famous quotes from a dumbaRse I don't like reading. I like books with pictures I like this cutting edge stuff ( referring to ws_ftp ) Before you showed me i did not know that html pages could interact with databases I saw many books on management, but I bought the "for dummies" series as it had a lot of pictures Hey isn't this gnupg software unsecure since it's opensourced ?

Read a great article on improving memory usage in your box. Reading through it I get a feeling akin to reading about phaedrus describe how he works on his bike. It gives a clue a bit about what is actually happening in that purring box that all of us have at home. The only gripe I have about this article is that it lacks the hands on approach as well as a working example on how to actually

Teh hardest things to do in the world does not seem the hardest, dudes ! The hardest things to do in the world hides themselves behind the most mundane facade. Here are a list of things that even the venerable Sir Edmund would find trouble performing. Remembering to put your shorts in the washer after the run Putting letters back into their respective envelopes after reading them Not leaving

Just finished the presentation of the intranet to my colleagues. There some complaints about the security of putting iso documents online to be viewed and printed by everybody. This did not surprise me one bit. There seems to be an air of paranoia surrounding my office. Suspicion on someone doing something bad during the last day or any other day during their employment is very high. This

Today as I was pounding the pavement in the morning, I reminisced about my love affair with the hole hawg ( linux ) , which began about 2 - 3 years ago. Funny how everytime I jog the ideas seem to flow in head like a river. Maybe the brain is just trying to focus on something else to lessen the pain, or maybe it's the endorphine... As my feet produced the usual 'slop' 'slop' on the pavement I

Went for class today. I quite pleased that a lot of my questions has been answered. The funny thing is I felt strange why no one else in the class had questions. For a subject such as this why is it that no one had any questions. One of the lady students head that was like a broken pendulum that kept on swinging to my side. All throughout the class she had no questions though and I felt very

Internet Helte Konge The phrase above is norwegian for the "the internet is really great". A friend of mine sunny on the #cvs channel is from norwegian and he was kind enough to teach me a few words in norwegian :). I sometimes still catch myself wondering and smiling to myself on how great the internet is. I have friends all over the world thanks to this wonderful tool ! The thing that makes me

Told my supervisor about my heath condition today. I guess it had to come out sometime. He was like totally surprised at what I had to say. He then said that I should have mentioned these stuff earlier to him instead of keeping it to myself. I told him that I was scared that repercussions would be taken on me had I mentioned it earlier. He said that this highly unprobable.

The last I have blogged was the 27th of December 2002. Hmm ... Today is the 26th of January 2003. It's been nearly a month since I blogged ! It's also another new year. Funny, although New Year's was like a month ago and Chinese New Year is 1 week's away, tonite feels like the eve of a new year. People rely on calendars to keep track of new years eve me I would rather depend on my inner feel.

Damn cousin of mine gave me a ring last night as I had feared she would. My mom was wondering aloud earlier why she hadn't called. Just goes to show that words have great vibrating powers ! "Do you want to come to a house meeting at my house today" my cousin sounded expectant with her sickeningly positive attitude over the other end of the line. Funny all these Amway distributors have this same

Day before yesterday just after work I hurried to the bank to get my card changed to the new chip based card just because the human resource people in my factory has no concept of having a fixed system for annoucements. They announced the people from the bank was here through the PA system. The day before it was through the email ! Grrreeaatt !! They musta thought that even the sound waves in

Last night while going through the newspaper with their usual Christmast adverts a thought went through my head and I spent the better whole of last night trying to find the answer.Why is it that I don't feel celebrations like i used to ?No matter wether it's christmast, Hari Raya or Chinese New Year, the celebration or the spirit of them has somehow silently and secretly left me and I only

I haven't written in like ages !! Anyway, let's see ... changes ... changes .... hmmmm searching thru the mess in my head. I guess the most notable change has been my switch over to SGL ( Sorcerer Gnu Linux ) as my distro. I took a whole 2 months to get the dang thing up ! Ha ! Ha ! At one point most of the people on the list respected this Malaysian dude for his tenacity. I don't really see

I have been looking closely at a few source distributions within linux the past few weeks and the few that are worth a bit of notice are : 1. gentoo 2. sorcerer : a. source mage b. lunar-linux c. sorcerer According to news that I have read now out of the 3 sorcerers only source mage and lunar-linux are still under gpl ( free ). The old sorcerer is under the

Currently I'm writing this blog from my office's former headquarters in Semambu .... in retrospect this whole week has been about cold offices and staring at monitors ... oh and that so important element ... late nights !!

Looking into something I always wanted to know because it's sort of parallel with how our company works. I always wanted to know how those dudes in kde managed to code and seem to work as a single unit and produce work at such a feverish pace although distance seperates them. The other thing I wanted to know is how they seem to be able to continously contribute code as in focus in the project
