Good morning everyone :-). Long Sunday ahead today
on Jaiku

Just finished this latest report, taking a cue from @jerrynovak and going down to Wheelock Place for a cuppa :-)
on Jaiku

Feeling fizzled out. Think my body is protesting doing so much study and work on a Sunday!
on Jaiku

Having an early night tonight, 21:00 :-D (9:00pm). Starting tomorrow things should start to thin out, looking forward to it!
on Jaiku

Heh how embarrasing, I've been a registered user of MacRumors since 2006, I just forgot the password!
on Jaiku

Got so many great books to read, "On The Edge: Rise & Fall of Commodore", and "Inside Steve Jobs' Brain" and "World According to Clarkson"!
on Jaiku

I am fed up with living in such a mess: I pledge to clean up this room in the next 20 minutes!
on Jaiku

The sky went dark, and I didn't even notice
on Jaiku

Good morning everyone :-). Packed timetable today, let's hope I can do it all!
on Jaiku

Going down the street to read The Economist and have some brekkie at a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf :-). Very civilised
on Jaiku

Twhirl is working again! I've reduced the number of requests per hour. Listening to "The Best Sixties Album Ever"... and I was born in 86 :)
on Jaiku

HOW AWESOME ARE THE ANIMALS!!! :-D

These types of stories just make my shake my head in disbelief :( http://rubyurl.com/NIga

Hehe, if you want to see my family as south park characters, including my mum, think she'd be pleased :) http://schades.org/
on Jaiku

My sister likes the way I gave her pink hair (http://schades.org) as a South Park character. She's in the bathroom dying it pink again!

I tell you what, this Pal Centro was a fraction of the price of my Nokia, but it's so much nicer to use. Plus I get the PalmOS nostalgia!
on Jaiku

Even better? I was able to transfer all my silly old games from my Palm III and Tungsten W to it, and they all still work :-)
on Jaiku

Good morning all! My dad was supposed to be up half an hour ago but he's still sleeping, probably too much work again
on Jaiku

Going through my spam folders again. I need ti hire a secretary to manage all this stuff!!! One man show is harder than I thought!
on Jaiku

Finishing up some Ruby stuff then off to Simply Bread for lunch. That's the greatest name for a bakery every!
on Jaiku

Finally got Debian dual booting on my primary desktop with FreeBSD 7.0. FreeBSD still boots way faster ;-)
on Jaiku

Just released Rubenerd Show 243 (RubenerdShow.com), a very nerdy episode about moving one of my machines over to Debian from FreeBSD
on Jaiku

FreeBSD is still my favourite OS, but until Nvidia released 64bit FreeBSD drivers I don't have a choice for this one machine I'm afraid :-(
on Jaiku

Good morning all, 11am, I really slept in today :-)
on Jaiku

Sunday 2pm at Guthrie Centre drinking a hot cup of coffee, cool weather today, looking at @DaveWares's photo blog. Life is good :-)
on Jaiku

"Plurk" sounds like something you do in the bathroom when you haven't eaten enough fibre.
on Jaiku

Compiling AbiWord from MacPorts. Pkgsrc on my MacBook Pro is having some issues today for some reason.
on Jaiku

Finally caved in and got Plurk. Really doesn't play well with NoScript in Firefox, and avatars don't support PNG... but keeping open mind!
on Jaiku

Cab driver says this is best weather for Singapore, when the dark clouds block the sun but don't rain. I concur. That how you spell concur?
on Jaiku

And how safe is it to run the "testing" distribution of Debian? Is it like the difference between FreeBSD "stable" and "release"?
on Jaiku

Damn it, GRUB doesn't detect my Apple USB keyboard either. Guess it's back to a non-aluminium job on this BSD/Linux desktop :(
on Jaiku

Finding it hard to get into the Monday rhythm again today... though I guess that's why it has the reputation it does right?
on Jaiku

Just bought "A Brief History of Time" by Steven Hawking. One of those books I've been meaning to read for a LONG time!
on Jaiku

Ah good old Windows 2000. Works great in a VM for those pesky Windows only apps the uni gives me. :-P
on Jaiku

Updating the firmware on my DIY machine. Fingers crossed!
on Jaiku

Oh and for everyone on Twitter, my Singaporean friend @enaurore was approved for Aussie Permanent Residence!
on Jaiku

Night everyone
on Jaiku

I still have to use Windows (ableit 2000!) for apps that need Windows. Very hard to get used to the Windows style of open... windows!
on Jaiku

Though apps like AllSnap make windows MUCH easier to manage and move around in Windows.
on Jaiku

The Maximise button in Windows might have made sense in 1990, but not in 2008 with resolutions at 1680x1050!
on Jaiku

640x480 for the win!
on Jaiku

Hehe, I want a 3G iPhone :-)
on Jaiku

The Palm Centro is a beautiful little phone though, I'll use it for my Singapore SIM when I'm in Malaysia or Aus and vica versa
on Jaiku

Meeting my sister down the road for some avocado, cheese and chicken sandwich roll thingys :-)
on Jaiku

Singapore beats Japan in standard of living? Somehow I don't 100% believe that http://tinyurl.com/6qrwts
on Jaiku

Off to the PO
on Jaiku

Still can't get over how cool this Yubikey is! And even came in a letter with Swedish stamps on it :-D
on Jaiku

I still prefer booting my FreeBSD (and Debian) machines to a prompt, then using startx instead of using XDM, KDM and the like :-)
on Jaiku

Playing classic Age of Empires II with my sister over the network :-)
on Jaiku

Disabling sendmail on an older FreeBSD box
on Jaiku

So many icons on my desktop, so little time

@@GeekMommy Repitition also works at getting messages across, even if they do get annoying!
on Jaiku

For some reason I still find myself selling "aging" as "ageing". Don't know why
on Jaiku

Had such a dreadful night sleep last night, had dreams about mummy dying again. Playing some FreeBSD this afternoon to help me recover :-)
on Jaiku

Argh only got four hours of sleep, no good lah. Off to Suntec.
on Jaiku

Have to go and pick up doggie food for doggies
on Jaiku

4:30am, can't sleep. Got out of bed twice already :-(. Maybe a warm cup of tea will help :)
on Jaiku

Nice cup of coffee and an avocado chicken sandwich always helps feeling bad after a terrible night of sleep :-)
on Jaiku

Installing latest update for NoScript with Firefox 3.0
on Jaiku

Xfce with Tango icons and Clearlooks is just such a pretty desktop :-). My FreeBSD and Mac OS X machines now look just as nice
on Jaiku

Just updated my Firefox to 2.0.0.14 on my FreeBSD box. Left it a while, whoops :-D
on Jaiku

Atheism: A non-prophet organisation :-D

I still find the "Classic" del.icio.us extention much nicer to use than the "new" one
on Jaiku

My... brain... is... fried...
