Free and Open Source blogger with an attitude
It’s about a year since Richard M Stallman (RMS) came to Malaysia and give talk in UM, but still there’s some people asks me about the video file. Well for your information, I’m still seeding the video file via BitTorrent (encoded by aizatto), you can get the torrent file here : rms.torrent.
p/s: If you’re using Microsoft Windows, then I recommend you to use VLC Media Player to watch this video (it works from the box!).
Ever wonder how to register a small business in Malaysia? This e-book might give you some idea on that, including how to fill in the required form (Borang P.N.A 1, etc) and the fees, what you supposed to do after you formed a company. The only catch is, it is written in Malay.

p/s: I found the guide in some free hosting website a while ago (i think it’s angelfire) and it seems to be abandoned, so I recompile it in PDF format in hopes it will be useful to others. Note that I’m not the writer of the book :p
I’m sure that most of you have heard about AJAX buzzword, and information about it has been spread over everywhere. However, I found one particular interesting article about AJAX, written by Oracle.
IMHO, this is the nicest article about AJAX on the internet, the article itself was written in simple language and without unnecessary hype to begin with. It is suitable for all level of developers and can serve as an introductory tutorial for the uninitiated.
If you don’t already know, my blog suffered from the “technorati mood swings”, where it states that my blog hasn’t been updated for more than 50days. It seems that I’m not the only onewho has this problem.
Until now, I don’t know what happened and what to do as technorati won’t update my blogs, though i’ve ping them each time I write new post. But last night, I was hit by a pleasant suprise, my blog was updated by technorati 7 days ago, and all my post within that 50days period is included in technorati.
God knows what happened behind the technorati engine, but I wrote this as a reference to other bloggers. Do not give up if technorati stopped updating your blog, they might just have a minor hiccups. Your blogs will be updated by them eventually.
After a long hiatus, my favorite online comic (written by apz) is back online! It came back online somewhere around February 2006, I just realise it today!
ICCL is geeky comic about computer technician, and it’s story focuses around Simon Freeman and Deirdre. I like ICCL because I feel like the character Simon close to myself as both of us prefered to be slackers (I mean, voluntarily unemployed). It’s an entertaining comic. Actually, the comic inspires me to switch to Debian GNU/Linux after I fail to use Fedora Core “properly”.

MEPIS, the company behind the SimplyMEPIS Linux distribution has made decision to use Ubuntu instead of Debian as the base of it’s distribution.
