Kayaking in Langkawi!

I’ve been quite busy this past week catching up and I’ve exhausted my buffer posts. Suffice to say I don’t like keeping a lot of buffer posts. Anyways, early Monday morning I’ll be hopping on a flight to Langkawi (a charming little island off Malaysia) to do a week-long kayaking expedition to complete my Gold [...]

Google Wave Review

I have a Google Wave account. I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and have had time to familiarise myself with it enough to write a review. In a nutshell, Google Wave is a pimped combination of email, instant messaging, and live document collaboration. It tries to combine these three functions into an interface [...]

Is there such thing as a good monopoly?

The technology world is no doubt aware of Google’s seemingly unstoppable leap into existing markets. On my previous Google rants to beware of Google and their evil, and perhaps their latest and greatest (is it?) innovation Google Wave, I have kept my polite contempt at their progress unconcealed. Today before I release my upcoming post [...]

Making the most out of the Windows Mobile Experience

If you so happen to own a Windows Mobile phone or played with one before, there are likely to be many things that you find rather terrible about it. What with the iPhone, Android and Palm, it’s no surprise that Windows Mobile deserves to be shunned to a shameful corner in the market. However what [...]

Just flashed Windows Mobile build 23053 – it’s miles better than 6.5.

Any (e)book recommendations?

Dear lazyweb, Lately I’ve taken to reading ebooks on my phone and I’m running out of good material. I’m not picky with any book genres and couldn’t care less if I was recommended a book about gardening as long as it’s a good read. Here I am asking for any good (e)books, classic or hidden-in-a-dusty-corner-of-the-internet, [...]

Experimenting with some pop-under/interpage ads with the BMR – I should be shot.

Back from Australia

I’m back from my trip to Australia and greeted with the Deepavali holiday. It was a great trip – visiting Sydney and Melbourne, my cousin’s wedding and checking out 6 universities. I met a lot of relatives I didn’t know before, didn’t know when I met them, still don’t know, and don’t plan to know. [...]

Back in Malaysia, happy Deepavali everybody!

aaaand I’ve got myself a Google Wave account!

The problem with Gentoo

Gentoo is a relatively technical Linux distribution. It was also the first distro (though I did play with PuppyLinux before) that I used. Compared to most geeks I am rather illiterate. My technical background lies in the internet and as a result I treat the desktop world much like an average joe. Before we all [...]

In Sydney and enjoying myself – going to Melbourne later.

Screenshot October 09

I update my system on a two-weekly basis. Apparently the last update I did something stupid like unmerging qt-*, which left me without a working KDE desktop for a good while (also killed most of the apps I use). Fluxbox is the WM I fall back to at this point, and so I was back [...]

GIMP development has some really impressive new stuff, including a single window mode!

AdBard actually emailed me to tell me they changed their ToS to allow other ad networks. Wonderful – both for the change and the email!
