    HAVANA, Nov 21 — There were hugs and handshakes all around yesterday as teams of older US and Cuban softball players ended a “friendship” tournament they hope will set an example for their respective governments. They said who won or lost was less important than the fact that for five days in Havana, Americans and Cubans played a game they both loved and in the process found they were not enemies as they had long been led to believe. “Now I know a lot of people in Cuba. They don’t have horns,” said catcher Alan Bresnick, a 71-year-old former corporate executive from Boston.

Environmentalists say that if the fish reach the Great Lakes, about 32 km from the barriers, they would quickly destroy the lakes’ US$4.5 billion (RM15.2…

  • A Good Use of Twitter List by P1

    19 Nov 2009 | 10:15 pm
    Using Twitter List, Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, or P1, created ‘a complete list of everyone on P1 and GP‘ who are using Twitter. This is one of the interesting uses of List by a Malaysian company. For P1, it is probably a first step for something more interesting. This reminded me of Zappos’s Employee Tweets page. Like Zappos, P1 can start leveraging on its employees to engage and sustain relationships with customers and prospects. Malaysian mobile service provider, DiGi too is already doing it.

    Today is the launch of Windows 7. I don’t think I’ll purchase a copy, as I’m still enjoying the Mac experience. But I don’t think Microsoft will really care much. Let’s look at these stats: Despite being branded a failure, there are 350 million PCs with Vista. Windows 7 been winning positive reviews. Bing is gaining market share at 9% of search share. When Yahoo! started using Bing across its many properties, Bing’s search share could jump to 30%. Despite the economic downturn, Microsoft can still afford to spend $9 billion on research and development.

    The banks have spoken. For the past few years, the banks has been spending millions of ringgit to acquire plastic subscribers. There is no doubt that the credit card department is the most profitable channel for most of these banks. Regulations on approving new cardholders has been surprisingly lacking, which resulted in the need for the government to set up debt management agencies such as the AKPK. A fire-fighting approach I’d say, but it’s better than not doing anything to the rising problem of high-interest credit card debts faced by many Malaysians today. Now, in the tabling…

    It's becoming a constant battle between trying to achieve a daily wordcount and trying to control where the story leads to. While many people see NaNoWriMo as an excuse to let their imagination roam free and often write without so much as an idea what's going to happen next, I don't think I could do the same. In my case, I have to know the big picture that is the plot to know how I'm going to write the story. I can't just let my characters create the story because I would be liable to create a story without an ending that I like, if I can come up with an ending at all. So it has been a tricky…

Even so, most of the stuff I've over the years have been more matter-of-fact. From teen advice columns to even my own thesis, there isn't much there that could be left to using my imagination (except for maybe my thesis but we'll keep that between you and me). So yes, I am a tad bit proud of what I've done so far and for what it's worth, I'm a little ahead of the curve right about now which is…

Making up for the lack of words the day before by writing like a drunken madman the next day. Not to say that I haven't been keeping up with my quota thus far, it's just that there is a limit of how much I can write on a single day after working. Ideas and inspiration doesn't come easily when your work often entails long hours processing information. Still, the fact that I have been able to keep the daily quota is a remarkable feat in itself. More so since this…

    The MIC Youth, HRP and some other Indian-based political movement are more worried of the gangsters, robbers, rapist and other criminals who were unjustly shot dead by the Police force of Malaysia. True, PDRM have still not shown their ability to self-control and practices off-the-court, ‘encounter’ free-for-all style execution of suspects. But they are criminals. Fine. [...]

    Dear budding young entrepreneurs. If you are thinking about starting their own businesses after reading inspiring stories of the rags-to-riches of those like Richard Branson, Bill Gates or even Tony Fernandes - a word of caution. If you think having your own business is as easy as plonking down your money and watching it grow on trees, think again. When you work for somebody else, maybe it’s okay to slack once in a while. After all, what’s the worst you could lose? (Your job.) However, when you’re the captain of your own ship, then it’s a whole different story. Not only do you have…

    Dear current ruling government of Malaysia, I see you’ve decided that it would be wise to charge a RM50/year credit card tax, on a per card basis, while charging the supplementary users RM25/year. Your opposition says that you will thus make RM400 million a year in revenue, just from these fees alone. Some are however convinced, that though you slap a tax on us credit card users, most banks will probably absorb the charges to hold on to customers. But you don’t like it, because the tax, is meant to promote prudent spending. Now, let me tell you my opinion, as a person who…

The back channel for all this was Twitter… Don’t hesitate to follow @harishpillay, @brianaker, @piawaugh or even @webmink (Simon Phipps, while not at the event, was available on Twitter).

    It’s worth noting that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 has had an update to MySQL in the last month. This naturally means that CentOS 5 also had a similar update. It’s now bumped up to MySQL 5.0.77 (goodbye 5.0.45!; which is what RHEL5 shipped with). This is a moderate security release, so consider updating, if you can afford a mysqld restart.

And even if you’re taking photos of dead insects, it still takes a lot of skill (and a good macro lens) to get the right focus and lighting. The photographers who managed to snap the photos below all deserve some serious respect. They’ve managed to…
