Previously my linux project was to install linux itself into my SanDisk Ultra 64GB flash drive, however I could only limit myself [...]

It’s been awhile since I last blog. Year end of 2011 was so super busy with travels and last minute work that I didn’t get the time out to blog or update any of my sites. And the beginning of the year 2012, I was busy playing with some of my new PC gadgets and [...]

Fixing the Penalty of Google Panda 2.5.2 update

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:23:18 +0000

Google's Panda update is really killing my websites!

Jan.PJ — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:45:00 +0000

Whatever happened to the "Do no evil" motto of Google?

Should drink Farmhouse milk tho expensive; Marigold taste a bit weird

Jan.PJ — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:09:00 +0000

I found Farmhouse milk taste better though it is almost twice as expensive than Marigold milk. I know the milk prices has been hiking up unprecedented. If in order to keep price low by adding fillers into the milk, eventually it is going to taste weird.Many food price in Malaysia has been soaring as much as 30%. This is way above the official CPI of 5% which is incorrect. Milk is no exception and

Just my luck, I got several electronic device failure one after another. Must be Murphy's Law at work here! First after a battery change, my wife Toyota Wish car remote control didn't work. The Toyota service people should have known better than to change the car remote batteries. Now it needs to be reset in order to work. That's probably minor compared to my car remote when I accidentaly

I do get a replacement leave for it which was not too bad. However, my timing with wife and son would be a little skewed for matching. Anyway looking forward to another family time together next round. For

My baby is 17 months old! And according to Baby Centre, "you may notice baby ability to do things by himself such as undressing herself, brushing her teeth without your help and tenderly nursing her dolls and stuffed animals. She's learning how to take care of herself, and others and she'll refine this ability as she gets older."Well, he still a long way off for that. But I did notice he is

Hmm... Ady boy beginning to assert himself and wants his way. I think time for discipline. Any suggestion for toddler this young? It would be good to start early otherwise it will become difficult when he gets older. Yet on the other hand we would like him to explore the world and learn new things for child development.

Super heavy rain, super traffic jam!

Jan.PJ — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:00:00 +0000

The heavy rain brought about a very massive Friday traffic jam! Took me double the time to get pass rush hour traffic. On top of that, almost had near collision with another car when the car ahead stop suddenly. Fortunately my brand new tires plus my quick reaction avoided knocking the car in front of me. Had to move away from the lane as the two lady drivers negotiate on their compensation. From

Chartis Insurance Failure to Pay Reimbursement and many others

Jan.PJ — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:16:00 +0000

Insurance companies are not as trustworthy as before. They take our money easily but fail to reimburse when it comes to claims giving excuses such as non-failure to comply to some obscure terms or information or on a technicality. Chartis, MAA, IHM (now dead), and what other insurance companies? And yet, when Obama bailed out AIA, they have the gall to pay large hefty bonuses to themselves giving

I needed to reformat my SanDisk 16GB USB flash drive to NTFS file format as I wanted to transfer a large 9++ GB movie file to view it on my media player box. So when the format dialog box came up, I was wondering what would be the best default cluster size for NTFS and what did the "default allocation size" meant. Although I would like to keep my thumbdrive in its default format of FAT32,

Besides, my Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro battery seems to knock out very fast these days. So perhaps a second phone with the same line might come in handy. However, after getting the new multi-SIM card it didn't work with my X10. Hopefully when the

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:26:00 +0000

Today is yellow shirt day. I wonder what will happen. Will the police stop me? Mine do not have the #Bersih (Clean) words / logo in support of clean and fair election. Big hohaa by the powers-to-be but nevertheless a very important day. Not attending the rally but will walk around in yellow in distant support.

Wow! Following twitter updates on the #bersih rally. Big turnout! Estimate probably 50k. Could be 100k strong! PDRM and FRU trying to scatter the assembly. Also noted police brutality, firing of tear gas, water canon, trying to disperse crowd from marching to Stadium Negara.

The purpose of the #bersih 2.0 rally is to support for clean and fair election. It is not a political movement. And yet the Government saw it fit to make excuses to not allow for the simple rally and give poor reasons against it despite the Agung (King) saying it is ok to have rally in Stadium Negara. Then behind the lines on a conspiracy theory, the government must have advise the Stadium Management not to allow the gathering plus the Police not to approve the gathering permit. It shows the govt don’t want fair election so that they can hang on to power.

Sigh! As they said, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

#bersih timeline report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/169399 all the best stay safe

Bersih Rally @ Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur - photo courtesy of The Star Newspaper

It was also a test of law. Police said 5,000 to 6,000 turn out because they were successful to prevent people entering the city. But one look at the photo you know it was 10 times more! Easily 50,000 supporters came! Police even challenged that no manhandling of demonstrators and if there were any to make police report so they will investigate when clearly there were many injured from police brutality based on the many eyewitness account, but none will dare to make the report because they in turn will be charged for attending the rally for illegal assembly.

The reporting by Star newspaper is rather lopsided and didn’t provide much detail of the happening as this paper is controlled by the current ruling coalition. Reading the alternate news media, Malaysiakini news version yielded much more details. The rally was peaceful but it was the authorities that caused the chaos. In fact the Bersih people and the opposing Umno Youth Patriot people organized themselves not to clash and cause trouble.

Anyway, it is done. The news has spread, but unfortunately it will not be reported properly by the local papers. Since not every Malaysian has access to internet or or those who do will know where to find the URL to read online the alternate media, and have information to make an informed decision. I know of some people who just read the printed government control newspaper only so their viewpoint would be rather skewed.

Hopefully this rally would spread the awareness of apparent lack of cooperation from the government saying one thing but doing another which on the grass root level many people know and felt it but has not voiced out until now.
