Back to developer track – fell asleep (oops) so there’s nothing much about previous session. The main demo is about Orcas which is the next release of Visual Studio, together with query languages like LINQ and technology for extremely lazy people to dynamically generate tables / web pages (hey! lazy is good!!). And juggling of [...]

I switched over to the business track. Check this out: mono-1. In the age-old world of advertisement, a revolution has just started: The consumer is now in control. Yes, content is king, but the form of the which consumers consume content has been changing radically. StarHub has piloted the set-top box SmartTV for a year [...]

I decided to join the developer track. We talked about silverlight.js (contains all the “get silverlight” button) It’s only 16KB!! He talks about instantiation (see pix above). It makes no difference if the backend / server is running JEE, since the instantiation is all handled by JavaScripts. The API expects fairly minimal info (e.g. width, [...]

Power outlet found! Back to the Panel discussion, just some quotable quotes from them. Saw (Moderator): Web 2.0 is a deja vu! Ram (CGH): Web 2.0 or not, in hospitals, delivering information is always important. In today’s hospital, if IT goes down, hospitals shut down. Doctors and nurses all pokes at their gadget to get [...]

Meeting Minutes! Ain’t blogs great? Btw, about Remix.

It is a shame that not only this non-structured data that is the backbone of many modern business and government today isn’t harnessed and put to use properly, but it also make many of our lives [...]

Well, this is the best my handy Nokia 6280 2.1 Megapixel camera can do. But nevertheless it’s a proof of concept. This is my favourite, ideal as a wallpaper: This one is taken thinking it would be great as a page on a program booklet, you know, putting the thank you so and so list [...]

Ever wonder what your actual speed of your broadband is (so that you know what you actually paid for)? Well there are some good ways to test it out, and post to your blog too Broadband Reports (which still maintain their old URL www.dslreports.com) have this nifty tool. There are two versions, one is flash-based [...]

Just came back from Play! with much of my high anticipation earlier that I will learn something about how to put together a soundtrack style concert to my disappointment. I wonder if it is the afternoon that has caused the musicians to doze off as suggested by zhiwei, or is it just plain old school [...]

Well, not quite – I can’t draw, but I can write. This is an essay I started some 3 years back, abandoned for some time, but some how I got the courage to complete it today. Maybe Slackenerny’s handing up of his thesis touched some of my nerve yesterday, I was laughing so hard and [...]
