The Lady traded hers in, but couldn't decide what to get, so had no phone to use. She was going out while I'd be at home most of the time, so I lended her mine. It was actually quite a refreshing experience. I was feeling free and detached. Until she picked up a Nokia 6510. Nice little phone. The quality is assuring. We have not bothered to swap SIM cards, so I am using it right now. Maybe all the features are functions and bells and whistles are.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/26.html#a265 (Untitled)- December 25, 2002 Christmas Day The Lady has got the flu. It's her second year in a row that she can't make Christmas service. Oh well. Nice chat with the family during dinner. I mentioned that we didn't hear news of congested border control points this time around like we used to during long holidays. Dad thinks it's because people are too poor to go anywhere, and are pretty much stuck in Hong Kong over the holiday. Mike was out last nite, and thinks that folks didn't know what to do last nite as they had no..http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/25.html#a264 (Untitled)- December 22, 2002 Rent a Telescope Astrophotography is hard. You need a fair amount of background knowledge and some hefty equipment. For those who live in or anywhere near a big city, light polution doesn't make it easier. It means that they would have to travel far with all the heavy equipment. Not to mention the loss of sleep. Not anymore. Rent a good telescope with the corresponding CCD camera from these folks. They are in Arizona where they have a lot more cloudless nights than most other folks. It's...http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/22.html#a263 (Untitled)- December 21, 2002 Can't Take Broadband Internet for Granted A nicely written article here. Good arguments for not doing heavy Flash and graphics sites and fighting spam.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/21.html#a262 (Untitled)- December 21, 2002 These folks need your help. I have just upgraded my membership to Silver and thereby given them US$60. I am running a Mandrake 9 workstation. I have just played with their new Multi Network Firewall and like it a lot. Their software has always been excellent and available for download for free. US$120 a year is a good price to pay for top quality software. Oh BTW Silver membership entitles me to Sun's StarOffice officue suite. Highly recommended.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/21.html#a261 (Untitled)- December 15, 2002 MandrakeSecurity Multi Network Firewall Very cool. It is a dual-license software, being proprietory or GPL. It costs USD1990 (if you want full support), but also available for free download. The price is kinda steep, but definitely something I would recommend to clients.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/15.html#a260 (Untitled)- December 12, 2002 Joe Clark Interview on Slashdot This article is too important not to link to.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/12.html#a257 (Untitled)- December 5, 2002 Empirical Analysis of Internet Filtering in China Wired article.http://radio.rollingegg.net/2002/12/05.html#a256 |
