Weekly zine created from my blog.

  • Web Comics ()
    Two people in my life have started publishing their own web comics. The first one is my dad, who is publishing his Neatstep comic. He's actually been doing this for over a year now and he keeps refining and redrawing the cartoons.
  • Working Part-Time, Moving, Starting Web 2.0 Project ()
    I thought I would write a quick blog entry to update everyone on the latest happenings... First off, since November 1st I'm only working part-time at GenoLogics. I'm spending two days a week working on a personal project.
  • Open a File in the Default Application using the Windows Command Line (without JDIC) ()
    Quite a few people have asked me about this in the past. If you have a file how can you open it in the default associated application without querying the registry or using some other Windows API?
  • JBossMQ JMS over HTTP performance gotchas ()
    Here's a lesson I learned recently: Don't use JMS over HTTP if you want to have anything close to high-throughput, at least not if you are using JBossMQ.
  • More Pictures ()
    I was productive over the long weekend and finally got the last set of travel pictures online:
  • Backpacking with Diabetes ()
    A lot of people have asked me about my experiences backpacking in Asia being a Type 1 Diabetic. I thought I would write this blog entry about it since others might find it useful too. For background info, I traveled to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand for seven and a half weeks in total.
  • Pictures ()
    I stopped being lazy and managed to put up the first half of my photos from the Asia trip:
  • Hong Kong and Home ()
    I survived the Full Moon Party and made my way back to Hong Kong. The party was pretty cool, but not as crazy as I expected. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but basically it is just like a giant club right on the beach.
  • Full Moon Party ()
    I'm on Ko Phangan. The Full Moon Party is tonight. The pre-Full Moon Party was last night. Hence, I slept a lot today. :-) The beach is way smaller than I expected, but still lots of room to party. Anyway, don't feel like blogging much right now.
  • Thai Cooking ()
    This morning I took a half-day Thai cooking class. It was good times and I learnt how to cook the different kinds of currys and other dishes. The class was in Ao Nang which is a town about 20 minutes by boat from Ton Sai beach.
