Steve Jobs, iSAD

Steve Jobs: 1955 — 2011 I admire Apple for their design, and hated them for build­ing walls around their products. Still, sad­ness fills me as the world marks the passing of a great human. An appro­pri­ate poem found on Slash­dot: Here’s to the crazy ones. The mis­fits. The rebels. The trouble­makers. The round pegs in the square …

Wikileaks/Mastercard

Couldn’t get down to blog­ging for the past few days as the mobile broad­band con­nec­tion at my cur­rent medium-term abode is some­how at the very edge of the DiGi bor­der of Internet-land. When I do find myself in such a land, I also find myself sep­ar­ated from the nearest source of elec­tri­city, thus lim­it­ing my …

When Murderous Mobs Leap Before They Look.

So a little group that claims to be the last best hope for Malay­sian cyber-security has come out with a state­ment on the true iden­tity of infam­ous anti-Islam blog­ger Mak­cik Haj­jah Sitt Al-Wuzara. Mali­cious base­less rumour on Sitt’s “real iden­tity” Unscientific Malay­sia has already writ­ten a suc­cinct dis­mem­ber­ment of the claims of Gaysec, which can …

The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.

I have always had a thing for sci­ence fic­tion, or sci-fi, but not ever SyFy(lis). Not sure I can say the same about West­erns, although I have reason to believe I may like them for their pro­mo­tion of the lone hero who some­how saves the day by out­last­ing his oppon­ents. That said, Fire­fly, that bril­liant …

Lone Voice in a Circle Jerk

The eG8 sum­mit was a strange thing. It was appar­ently a forum for stake­hold­ers in busi­nesses centred upon the Inter­net and civil soci­ety to dis­cuss the future dir­ec­tion of the Inter­net, and to present these views to the lead­ers of the G8. Well, at least that’s what Nic­olas Sarkozy said. So things get a little inter­est­ing …

Flash Problems on Kubuntu? Solve it with Flash-Aid.

I love tinker­ing with my laptop, which is why I have Kubuntu 11.04 run­ning along­side my main oper­at­ing sys­tem Ubuntu 10.04. Any­way, this may interest any­one facing Adobe Flash prob­lems in Kubuntu 11.04, like me. Just down­load this plu­gin called Flash-Aid, run the wiz­ard, and hey presto! You are done! This was so ridicu­lously easy, I registered …

A Message on Imaginary Math Teachers

I just returned from an enjoy­able fac­ulty din­ner, and have pro­cured a tonne of pic­tures of attract­ive people in vari­ous arrange­ments of décor. A few good weeks of band prac­tice to per­form as final-year stu­dents made the event even more mean­ing­ful. The veget­arian selec­tion was also exquis­itely var­ied and enjoy­able. And here I am pro­mot­ing a …
