What can you do with open source software? You could collate information for your local animal shelter. You could, with a Sharp PDA, keep track of medical records for diabetes patients.

I finally went to Sentosa after … 15 years? With Vanny and LK, the hubby-to-be. The Hub-be. Ha. Took lots of photos. It was rather hot and sunny despite the morning showers. Now have to work on the wedding site. I finally hooked up a program to my databases so I can edit them. You …

Since we keep on stealing glances at sleek-bodied Macs, scheming to get our hands on one. Or Hyena. Together with its behemoth G5 processors, the folks at Apple …
New gallery on the Singapore Scene. I’m still staring lustfully at images of the new G5, so please excuse me. Meanwhile, I’ll be working on two nonprofit projects soon: a local site for Promise Keepers, a conference for Christian men (as heads of the household) which is coming to Singapore in a few months’ time, …
