It’s been two years :) Time feels very short sometimes. At one point, it feels like an eternity. These words have been said so many times by so many people. But there’s no other words that can replace them, thus they are said over and over. The mark of the second year leaves a very [...]

Gaim is now Pidgin
Gaim is a free, open source, multi-protocol instant messenger, my favorite one at that. However, as always, any freely available alternative will usually face certain amount of threat from it’s scared counterpart – in this case a lawsuit threat. For those who are using Gaim, please keep in mind that this name will be history. [...]
Of Pink Cellphones and British People with Bad Teeth
Cellphones (or hand phones, or mobile phones, however you like it) are mainly produced in black in the early 90-s, as a mere “off the wall” phone. In the early 2000s, cellphones started to come in “safe” colors like blue, silver, white and grey. Only in the recent years that cellphones started coming with almost [...]

Wish all of you a very good Happy New Year 2007! Goodbye 2006, hello higher toll, petrol and any-rates! *sniff* p/s: For those who keeps on creating resolutions and “new goals” on every new year, just stop doing that and forget it! Why bother waiting till the new year to start something? Why don’t start [...]
My Strange Sense of Entertainment
I’ve been told, quite a number of times, that I have a strange sense of entertainment. While I do think it is a little bit strange, but it never occurred to me that it is so strange that people are so bothered about it – even when I did not bother them at all. One [...]
Damn Right
Sure, it’s a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom.
