Broadband and web2.0 applications
Singapore is one of the most wired companies in the world with a Broadband penetration exceeding 100% (Korea take that ). I recently switched to Starhub from SingTel on one of their midrange plans (not the alledged 100 MBPS one), so I was curious and headed ......

Over the long live of Lotus Notes the address dialog has been a trusted, never changing compagnion: Over the years it got some facelift like the ability to drag and drop or the ability to sort by Notes hierarchy, language or corporate hierarchy (anybody seen ......
XPages allow you to use JavaScript closures in both client and server side code. There are plenty explanations available, which seem to make them rather more mysterious. After looking at a lot of them I conclude: "JavaScript closures are like riding a ......
Selrahc's Platinum
It’s been announced. The new revolutionary gizmo from Apple. Yes, it looks good. Yes, Jobs did his usual spiel to present the new toy. And yes, when I saw the presentation I wanted one. The good thing for me is that Apple is giving me some time to think. Had it been...
I had to install Windows 7 on one of the machines at home. Well, maybe I did not have to, but I still did. I guess I was hoping for something better than Vista. So I went ahead and got the upgrade and installed it. After two weeks of running Windows...
The Battle for Blue Originally uploaded by Phil Gyford I never really thought about why a company choses a colour over another one for their logo. However, this picture does seem to indicate that a lot of companies are thinking along the same lines. Thanks to Phil Gyford for the image! ...
This is something that has been in my head since the Rational Software Conference in June… With the advent of all the social networking opportunites out there, it has become evident to me that support for a company’s products is no longer just limited to the official support organisation. Granted, that...
Jordi Cabot has an interesting Blog on Modeling Languages. In it (an on LinkedIn) there was a discussion recently on the difference or similitudes between MDA, MDD, and MDE. It’s interesting that Wikipedia treats the last two as the same thing – I like Jordi’s description better. However, as I read...

Elliott Associates, Novell, and primetime IT market speculation
There’s obviously been a lot of talk and speculation since the Elliott Associates announcement. I had started drafting a post looking at the key scenarios and add my own take on how this could play out when I ran into Andy Updegrove’s take over here. Andy nails it. The only...
Red Hat makes “strategic investment” in EnterpriseDB (backer of Postgres)
I’m not quite sure how I missed seeing the news until today, but I just noticed that Red Hat made a “strategic investment” in EnterpriseDB – the company behind PostgreSQL. I think this is a very interesting move. http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-management/red-hat-invests-in-enterprisedb-eye-oracle-and-mysql-855 Many seem to have their concerns or at least questions about Sun+MySQL, but...
Internet Explorer’s share plummets to just 65%; Chrome nearly matches Safari

Safari increased 0.17 percentage points (from 4.07...
The FTC decides to regulate blogging (sponsored blogging)
Interesting news out of the FTC. They’re going to start regulating blogs as they would an advertisement – though it doesn’t seem 1:1 in terms of advertising claims regulations and blogs. I do think this is a good move (perhaps overdue). Some bloggers like those at Redmonk have been disclosing...
Michael Dolan gets 7 years in jail (it’s not me, I swear)
A few colleagues have pointed out a Symantec blog post about Michael Dolan going to jail for 7 years. This is a different Michael Dolan (not me) and it has to do with spamming AOL. While I haven’t been posting as much, it’s not because of any trial! I just wanted...

Life in Technical Sales
If you’ve got a family, ever went on a long vacation and work in IT and/or sales, this will sound familiar: you try to ‘clean’ your plate before leaving so you can enjoy your vacation, to realize that: you could never ‘clean’ your plate before, even in the best of times,...

Diversification: Not Only for Investments
I’ve majored in Finance at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal, in 1994. And so, I know all about the principles behind asset allocation, risk structures, market vs intrinsic risk, and portfolio diversification according to risk aversion. And even then, I’ve allowed myself to be blindsided at 4PM on some...

Someday, I want all my apps to be open source, other days, it’s all Mac-like, and other days, it’s simplicity.

PHP job growth not linked to multilingual developers
