damn, where was i? i slave a coupla years implementing projects and suddenly i’m outdated!
wow… this technology would really be a great leap forward for humanity. a fusion plant could easily power a few third world countries altogether. mobile tokamak reactors would then be produced, allowing us to build massive spaceships and travel around the galaxy!
watched charlie & the choc factory last night with the gang. it was fabulous! i loved the oompa-loompas and the songs; grabbing the soundtrack as we speak. and soon after that, ringtone modifications!
i’ve been at the acm for the past two days, manning my company’s booth. i was supposed to be the subject matter expert on the hr system we use, but we weren’t really selling anything so we rarely had visitors. spent the time rounding the area picking up a few freebies along the way. the usual paper bags and pens though, as i didn’t have the courage to participate in the more crowd-pulling events. the DiGi booth had a challenge to build a Jenga tower 34″ tall to win a 34″ plasma tv. :O i only found that out 5 minutes before my stint there ended.

i’ve installed an openid implementation for this blog. now, users of all sites identified by openid, like livejournal, can verify their identity when posting comments. likewise, i can post to livejournal sites using this site’s id. 
read about livejournal’s openid support here.
i seem to have lost major points playing BF2 for the past two days. i’m guessing it has something to do with the 3AM reboot on EA Japan servers. sigh. i’ve posted a question on EA support asking why it happens, but i doubt they’ll be able to explain much.
while the entire setup was successfully implemented pretty much, there’s still some funny things going on.
i’ve just finished watching sin city on the pc. downloaded it via bittorrent on mario (my server)’s gnome desktop. superb quality.. makes me wanna get a bigger monitor (can you say, plasma? ).
at least now i can rest assured that all the stuff i’ve downloaded via the server is ok. now the problem lies with downloading via phoenix, my windows desktop. a few posts ago i talked about samba and all that. samba lets my freebsd server act a little bit windowsy. so here i have some 200gigabytes of fat32 space mounted on mario, and then shared to the network via samba.
now here’s the funny thing: almost everything i download via phoenix directly onto mario’s shares become corrupted. movies and zip files alike come up bad… kinda like playing a bad record.
hopefully it’s something fixed in the latest release of samba, which i’ve yet to acquire. or if i could find a way to convert the fat32 partitions to freebsd native ufs2; that would even be better.
anyway, i was walking down from my office to my carpark in the next building (yeah, they shifted the lot of us to plaza pantai’s season parking), when i wondered if it was ok to rollerblade in menara TM‘s lobby. i was thinking maybe it wasn’t listed in their tenancy rules (well, who’d thought of doing something like that, was what i’d think they’d think). but either way they’ll probably stop me for sporting 2 quads of wheels. so then i thought: someone should invent leather corporate heelys! it’s time for the yuppie heelie invasion!
