I’m taking three days leave (Monday to Wednesday) and will be going to KL. I’m leaving JB in a few hours time. So if you notice that I’m not posting anything or replying to any comments during that time, chances are I’m living my life offline for a while

I’ll be taking a few pictures. I haven’t been uploading any for quite some time. I still do have some cool Petronas Twin Towers photos that I was thinking to upload, but I guess many of you have seen the towers anyway. I’ll be looking out for more unique photos.

Since I’ll be in KL, I would like to visit some of the shopping malls there… I would probably go to Times Square to see if there’s any chages to the place compared to when I visited it last, which was like half a year ago. If I’m not mistaken, Lainie works there somewhere… Let’s see if I could spot her

While reading Blogsforfirefox and Status Quo, I saw that both of them linked to an article on PCWorld titled The 100 Best Products of 2005. The magazine has named Mozilla Firefox as Product of the Year. Congrats to the MozFo, coders, themers and users who keep making this browser better everyday.

Browsing over to T. Longren, he has not one, not two, but three articles relating to Firefox. Really interesting read. Even learnt about this cool extension called Cute Menus from his site.

Well, another thingy I can put on my CV; Experienced Blogger

I saw this post on /. which basically states that blogging is now a real “business skill” which seems to be pretty much in demand. It also links to this article (which has a needlessly bloody long URL) in the WSJ.

After reading through the WSJ article, it really does make perfect sense to me that blogging should be regarded as a serious marketing tool. It really is! It creates awareness about a company’s products and/or services, therefore it’s only logical that the industry acknowledges its importance.

I mean, surely many of you have seen cult sites which criticizes the products or services of companies where the “former consumer” felt that he/she has been screwed over. I do find such expression of anger and/or frustration to be quite normal. Therefore I wouldn’t find anything strange with a blog that regularly praises the products and/or services of “well-behaving” companies… yeah, even if the blogger gets paid for doing so.

Anyone wants to hire me?

I’ve asked Suanie to interview me, and she has. Let the fun begin!

1. If you had dictatorship rule over Malaysia, what would you do/change?

The first thing I’ll do is to change the constitution so that Malaysia will be a Corporate Democracy. How does this work?

Simple. Basically I’ll come up with a Corporate Malaysia Index, a share market where the shares of all government bodies will be traded. Initially, I will own most of the shares for every “company” and will divest the boring ones.

Whoever has the majority share will control the particular government body. Simple? Yes? Next question please.

2. Would you rather be rich and stupid or poor and smart?

Easy one. Rich and stupid, of course. In fact, every rich person in the world is stupid. Everyone else says that what they’re trying to do initially cannot be done… but they do it anyway, and getting rich is just a side-effect.

3. Would you rather kill a nest of ants or a single puppy?

If the need arises, I would obliterate entire galaxies. So, I guess it makes no difference.

4. Star Trek or Star Wars? Why?

Neither. Because stars have the right to not be trodded upon and be at peace with their own kind, just like you and me.

5. If someone were to offer you 1 million euros to suck a guy’s dick, would you do it?

No. But I’d consider licking a clean shaven pussy for half the amount offered

The Official Interview Game Rules (copied to be passed on)

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying “interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person’s will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Is dual-core computing now ready for the masses? Well, an introduction of the new Athlon 64 X2 by AMD, will give Intel some competition in this market. Especially since their Pentium D processor has been hogging all the limelight for the past few weeks.

Some web sites have already started comparing the two processors, in terms of performance and pricing. Me? I’m just glad that the processor industry is competitively healthy
