10/22 Fired!

Shimubun my ass. Please go back to your code and fix. Thank you.

10/15 Yay!

Finally got my Frequent Visitor Card for HK International Airport. No more queuing with the tourists! Of course, if my company did things properly, I’d have a visa and a resident card, and I wouldn’t have to worry about that…

10/14 Fookin too intelligent by halfers

I type skype.com in my browser, and get redirected to http://skype.com/intl/zh-Hant/ whatever I do… And no “English” link. My OS X is set to English dudes. Location is not enough, you know…

10/14 Tangle of cables

In Business Week’s October 17, 2007’s edition, our dear bearded technologist, Stephen Wildstrom, says:

In place of the tangle of cables that mars the appearance of most all-in-one desktops — even iMacs — Gateway has come up with one single fat cable yada yada

Hmmm… /me looks behind his new iMac, then at the front, shakes the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Nope. No cable. I am not sure what Mr. Wildstrom’s setup is, but ours, out of the box, is cordless, but for a single, not-so-fat cable that provides 220V to the machine. Silly wabbit…

10/13 Say Hi!

To our new baby. That’s him compiling Erlang for me…
