Jesse Jackson, tears streaming, in total awe of God’s mercy, lost for words as he digests Obama’s win sums it up: http://edition.cnn.com/video/ (search for “Jesse Jackson breaks down”).

I’ve been invited to speak at FOSS.my 2008 which will be held on Nov 8-9 in APIIT. So if you’re a FOSS aficionado, or want to know more about FOSS, or if you’re a FOSSchix like me, do register for the event. I’ll be talking about Macs and/in Open Source. While I was gone though, (well [...]

Recently I had two not so pleasant online purchase encounters, from kikki-K and InformIT respectively. The good news was, for both cases, the way the problems were resolved blew me away and left me more than impressed!

Which totally shook every fibre of my thought. No, the problems run deeper than just political disgruntlement. I shall not comment any further… [...]
