Open XML from MS?

Reminds me of the debate I had with Peter Moore of MS Singapore a the Accenture CIO workshop in 2003 about the fact that their "openness" is really a lie. FWIW, all Peter could do was to smile.

The games MS will continue to play

This discusses how MS wants to coerce using absolutely stupid "IP" excuses to lock out open source developers. It is still not clear yet, it should be obvious that doing the mono is a dead end (it was a dead end to start with, now it is even more obvious).

LTSP in Singapore

Will LTSP make sense in the schools of Singapore? Well, let's see if the demo of LTSP to be held at the Nanyang Polytechnic to a bunch of school IT heads of department make any waves. We have to keep trying!

It is nice to be able to have a grand view after spending 2.5 years in a enclosed place; very refreshing. I hope to make this a roaring success. Need to do some mindmapping of the business ahead.

Trying to get my cisco aironet 350 pcmcia card to work with a
linksys access point. Finally figured out that the pcmcia slot
was compiled for 32-bit and for the 350 to work properly (in
this case to be able to do a dhcp from the linksys) it has to
be a 16-bit code! Uh. Let's see.

Just returned to the blogger after a long hiatus.

Had an interesting day today. Fixed the problem of not being able to get into two machines that had SuSE as the distribution of choice.

Also got WEP working on the AP at work. Kinda nice to be able to do these minor things. Feels that I am still useful somewhat.

Enough. Sleep time.
