Been Busy :(

The past few days ranging from last friday has been one of the most grueling days for me. The iDA tender began with a corporation with Fujitsu team for a possible solution demo.

The stupid yankees did some unthinkable service to me by sending in a pre-production tape loader for me to deploy as archived solution in the P.O.C [Proof Of Concept]. Not only it's did not work well, i burnt my weekend for a little low end loader. Luckily i managed to pull the parties together and got everything running likes a clockwork. Thanks to whatever god that it's all end well. I made my presentation to iDA inspectors for our Virtual Tape Library solution and charimastic wiggle my way thru.

I'm so disappointed and i began to realise that my "National Service" term is drawing near. Guessed i better keep my eye peels.

The results of this iDA POC also draws more friendship thru hardship. Guessed that's undisputeable i am such a lovely person. hahaha

:D

Random thoughts, May 06

Today, i just found an old storage comrade hiding in a Japanese IT company, just likes everything in life was pretty random and unpredictable, i thought i lost contact with him when he resigned from Sanz data and there i found him hiding in a cosy Japanese firm. Indeed this is a small island.

Was'nt much following on American Idol 06, but i bet by now all knew Talyor Hicks won it by a good margin. Despite having as much grey hair as me, he showed pretty good showmanship through the competition. As how he won it, someone has some good answers. Or rather why Katharine lost it....was also here as well.

After the GE 2006, i bet many of us are leaving a very sour taste in our taste buds in regards to our incumbent's conduct and strategies. Not only they completely missed addressing our issues and nation's challenges, and the facts that they were having the media trumpeting their empty vessel did not helped the causes. With their biased projection from the media, many of us turned to internet to gather more news. Now that the Post GE forum was brought upon for discussion, Denise Phua who presented PAP really did a bad job indeed. Not only she failed to understand the root causes of why people alienating the ruling party, she insteads focus on how to manage the internet to have a balanced view. What's a total fuck up. Yawningbread gave a very good account on her opinion and views in the forum.

"

This suggests that she belongs to the set known as the "politically apathetic Singaporean". Beyond lack of interest, one fears she may not even have the instincts to know how upset many Singaporeans have been through the years about PAP policies and their style. Does she have appropriate listening skills? Is she sensitive enough to political feelings?

Yet she's a member of parliament now. Presumably, the cabinet will depend on feedback from people like her while formulating policies. One wonders, what kind of feedback she will provide when her political IQ seems so undeveloped?""

What's a disappointment.

Adicolor

Adidas is reviving itself thru many of it own internal branding, 1st off the Classic Adidas is creating a very strong market branding based on it's heritage products. 2nd, the Adicolor edition is bringing wide variety of designs and colors from many renowned artistes. I believed this is one of the few factors that Adidas is re-inventing itself as one of the most exciting sport wears in the recent years.

CSJ's sheep joke, in case you missed the Post GE Form

$100 a computer

I know we are fortunate enough to have ample foods and clothes, however some poverty nations may have problem providing more jobs that enable all to afford a computer. I not saying having a computer is a good thing, but i rather look at the possiblity for the poors to attain proper education to stood a chance to contribute to the society.

Here we got is a $100 a pc. Look a little lookalike baby Mac, and looks ma!! It's running Fedora 5 Linux.

Speaking of which, i have gradually converted two computers at home to run Fedora 5 Linux, which kinda helps take lotsa headache maintaining them. Right now, i am comtemplating to convert my workstation to a Fedora 5 as well? Only setting me back is the game and audio apps. Other wise i find Fedora 5 is so much fun to use.

• Less virus
• Less adwares
• Stable if setup correctly
• Customizable Kernel under a good hand
• Free & Open source applications

A slow week

This week began with an interview with one of the renowned storage vendor looking to fill in a vacancy of pre-sales executive. Upon a friend intro, i was herded into the meeting room with three interviewers, one a technical manager, a regional sales and local sales manager. When the interview began, i was put into a barrage of questions about my experiences and knowledge, so far i guessed i did pretty ok to project my vision and expertises...

Hopefully a fruitful weeks ahead.

Did i say never offend a woman? hee hee...woman can be quite vicious being if you messed with the wrong one...here tell it all.

Today after work, i headed off to Adidas store @Suntec Tower 2 and got off with a pair of running short and a cool new green 3 Tripe Trefoil Ts. I think i'm fast becoming an Adidas Original freak...btw, i also got the blue one as well.

Some updates

Hee...have been vanishing for a while, i believed. For some reasons, i seemed to be pretty much busy and at times seemed to have unlimited time to burnt. Not sure what exactly wrong with me lately.

But i would say i looking forward to straighten things up.

Patience is always a virtue. Dell who has never in the past sell AMD based processor has decided to introduce one AMD processor based server on it's high end server system offering. Dell being a Intel-whore has been leveraging on it's intel relationship for high margin processor offering has began to move in to AMD processor via it's acquisition of Alienware computer. Alienware computer are basically geek market providing high end computers for gaming. In facts, most of their range are AMD processor. AMD has been trying to court Micheal Dell for a long time. I guessed their patience has finally paid off.

Lookie here.

AXE underwear

Ever want an underwear that could stretch as long as it gets? :P Well, it appears that AXE has it's answer...hee hee watch the video there..

My dream house

Yip...this could be my dream house, taken from cool hunter featuring Emiliana Design Studio, it's called flying carpet for a reason.

Alternative computing

While nursing my sadness, i have converter my HP NX 7010 notebook to a Red Hat Fedora 5 computer. After messing while all the rpms and compilation. I got almost a full system up and running with almost the Windows XP's computing equivalent.

One of the computer is also running a dual boot Windows 2000 Adv Server and Fedora 5 functioning as download and network file server. Guessed it's time to head for alternative computing, although i had virtually little problem with Windows XPs, hmmph, i quite a power user actually. I'd managed to build the system to resemble a Mac OS X interface, however still there's a lot of room to customise this system fully.

I'm using Gnome window manager, a little system resource demanding, but i guessed my notebook can handle them all since i am running a customized kernel and services.

Hope to Illusion

Given the facts that the Worker Party marshalled by Gen Secretary Low T K and Sylvia Lim in GE 2006, the WP had brought a non believer of Singapore into a believer that something might have come good as the incumbent old man slowly aging along. Despite a well orchestrated campaign with many key points identitied and argue upon, the WP once again has offered a credible force built for the next election. Resolute, focus, ground level up, excellent youth awareness [credit: James Gomez] and passion. They had given the incumbent & money minded gov a good memorable fight. Counting aside the GE 1997, Cheng San contest, the 2006 GE rested on the Aljunied ward was a very crucial staging and building up point for a growing WP. However, many Singaporean were not ready to accept an alternative politic's voice. The incumbent party has been throwing out $$ and goodies to entice the voters, it appeared that it had work well them again.

Contrary, our PM has even vowed to fix the alternative parties if they were elected because he deemed that he will have to allocate time to fend them off than doing his job. Haiz...such argument. Given the facts i had gathered a lots of insight to the campaign and unwilling, i am too upset to go further. But one point that he did fixed was SM. He again has completely sold himself out morally and my prediction is....once the old man has gone into the grave, a party severance will occured and i rest assured that the choice 25% of the voters making is going to cost us a lot of pain and money. That's providing SM is thick skinned enough to hang on to his job when his followers has been going thru a renewal process,

Once again, i retreat myself and sit down to think should i give this hinterland a chance and step forward or simply just plan ahead that some place elses could be much worthy for me.

Still i would like to show my deepest admiration and appreciation to all the members of the WP for what they had stood for and injecting the goodness and fighting spirits that will save the nation from losing it's soul and in bleeding.

Time will erodes the olds and raise the youngs to continue the struggle against almighty one.
