Mac mini: In-Dash

The new Mac mini in possible action. in a car!

MacWorld Expo 2005 San Fran

Whohoooo .. just finished viewing the MacWorld Expo 2005 SanFran Keynote. Amazing new products from Apple again.

I like the iWork product very much! Especially the Pages application which is a word processor. I have been using a lot of Words in my daily course of work for documentating. Sure hope to be able to use that as my daily work as well. It looks amazing solid!
My Jedi master wonders if the new Pages from iWork is the same as Pages.app in NexTSTEP. hmm.. I wonder too.. used that on OPENSTEP before. and it's pretty cool.

The new Mac Mini rocks! The size of a shoe box? well, it's packed with enuff power for my daily email, web surfing and chat.

I wonder if the Mac mini would scaled up as a cool firewall. Sure hope to have bunch of em. geat to use them in a grid computing evnironment. Normal Intel Blades servers are way too bulky!

Finally! I love the iPod Shuffle. A thumbdrive size player, that integrates with my Mac, and great to use when jogging! :)

cd /net

A few months ago, i did a `find -type=job /net`as I felt that after working for almost 5 years in a same envrionment, I am begining to feel tired and tunnel vision`ed at the things that I did.

many people at my old workplaces loves and think that i am a good SA. i get compliments all the times. but i have been feeling doubts at myself.

The main reason that I could think of why people compliments me "i understand the environment very well".

My old work place is my first real UNIX SA job. (earlier jobs also deals with UNIX and a lot of Sun Hardware) It's a lovely place with lovely technology and lovely people. Many things I have learned from there, helped shaped me as a better unix SA, if not, a better person.

It's such sweet sorrows that I felt having to part all these, after 5 years of fond memories. But life goes on. I look forward for new challanges.

I wonder if my skillsets is still relevant at the new place that I will be working in.

But the answer will be know pretty soon.

Once this week of in-between-jobs holiday is over.

aggrhhh ... GOSH! I haven't had a root shell for days! I am having root access withdrawal!

beer is the best gift from God

Saw this Beer machine thingy at Carrefour this evening while shopping with Claire after dinner.

I think it's quite cool to be able to have it at home and start my own "Cow Beer".

No More Mdm Wong! It's Mr Wang manz!

beer is the best gift from God, Don't drink water. cos fish make love in it

1st working day in 2005

started the 1st day by going through the mails, reading the systems alerts over the weekend. Lucky nuthing much happen. (finger crossed) ...

Then I saw this mail from HR showing this URL, which i think is very useful http://www.humandynamic.com/hdaptimes/times_Trauma.htm in light of the recent natural disaster, tsunami.

I need this earlier if not I won't have insomia last night.

A few collegue suggested to pool up some money ($10 each) to bet in the TOTO draw and I was tasks as the implementor to place the betting. Too bad we did not win anything. If not, i would most glad to donate portions of my winnings to Red Cross and spend the rest to Mac World Expo
