Hans Reiser is the guy who wrote the Linux filesystem of the same name. He pleaded not ... http://www.wackywombat.net/2008/07/08/163/ I've lived on this wee bit island for close to 7 years now. I've not always loved it, especially in the beginning. But if there's one thing I like about Singapore, it's how 'walkable' it is. It's pedestrian friendly. Like the city streets of Tokyo and NYC, except without the pesky ... http://www.wackywombat.net/2008/06/29/160/ Okay, this is something from like over 2 weeks ago: I was back in Malaysia and my mom was driving me and my sisters to 1 Utama.

Semasa diumumkan yang SPR akan ... http://www.wackywombat.net/2008/03/06/140/ So it's election time again for Malaysia. Alas, I wasn't that politically-aware back when I was still in Malaysia so I did not register to vote. Not like I'd want to cast postal vote in case it get 'manipulated' on its way home to get counted. But here's my 2 ... http://www.wackywombat.net/2008/02/26/139/ So Demonoid is back, well at least the tracker is. And it's now hosted in Malaysia. Malaysia truly boleh. And we're moving up the chain, aren't we?
