I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing half the time.

The future of governance
December 7, 2010
The whole world seems to have it against the internetz nowadays, huh? Wikileaks banned in the U.S., facebook in so many muslim and fascist countries. Various blogs in various places. Malaysia’s just another government jumping on the bandwagon. Which led me to thinking: “Why are governments so afraid of the internet?” which in turn led [...]

Spare the rod, spare the kid from growing up bitter and resentful? Who the fuck knows?
November 5, 2009
I was reading something about modern parenting over at Obefiend‘s, pretty interesting discussion going on in the comments and I thought about it myself too. I think that in being a parent you should be a buddy; be involved in the kids’ lives, listen to them, praise them when they’re outstanding, but be strict when [...]

Where’s the charm?
November 2, 2009
A lot of people seem to be in agreement that facebook does help you keep in touch with your friends and loved ones. However it does mean that you lose a bit of that element of surprise when you haven’t seen a guy for a while and then you bump into him on the streets [...]

They’re Neodymium magnets, dammit!
November 27, 2008
After more than a month of not going through my favourite blogs, I recently found some time to go visit my ol’ pal, Obefiend. Hilarious stuff that. He was ranting (as he is wont to do) about some comment on a piece of his that denounced the mystical qualities of those magnet bands/necklaces/trinkets that can [...]

Barcamp Malaysia – Nicely Done! (Day 2)
July 28, 2008
On the second day, Sunday (that was yesterday), there was a Wifi cracking session that was pretty interesting, although it was pretty much standard Kismet/Airsnort/Airfart fare. The description of the various chipsets and hardware extensions were quite informative though. After that was Ditesh‘s ‘The Malaysian Free Software Community’ session which highlighted a whole facet of [...]

Barcamp Malaysia – Nicely Done! (Day 1)
July 28, 2008
Yesterday evening marked the conclusion of the two day Barcamp Malaysia ‘unconference‘ which I personally thought was a roaring success! The presenters were awesome, and the participants were amazing and fun to be around. The energy in the place was off the hook! I arrived late on opening day, Saturday, on account of working on [...]

I think we need a bigger body bag.
July 18, 2008
I don’t normally give a shit about the drama Melayu that is Malaysian politics, but the recent hoohaa about Anwar’s DNA got me a bit curious. More confused than curious really. The question that’s got me perplexed is this: What are they going to check Anwar’s DNA against? I’m no Sherlock Holmes, but aren’t they [...]

Faith
April 30, 2008
Going through this post in a friend’s blog, I was reminded of a story I once heard someone tell me concerning faith in a way. I can’t retell it verbatim, so if anyone has a more exact version, or if I got the story wrong, do let me know. Here is the story as I [...]

windmill hill graffiti
April 29, 2008
windmill hill graffiti, originally uploaded by pshab. This is exactly what I mean. So free we are. How unconstrained by human made rules. Silly rules like working from 9 – 5? Perish the thought! We work willingly, at any time we please, it just so happens that we tend to work from 9 – 5, [...]
