Bangkok Get-away

Jym — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:43:55 +0000

Been busy spamming Twitter that I hardly blog these days. Then again, we had been busy with another important agenda; getting our own flat. After the renovation and settling in, we finally got a chance to get away to Bangkok over the weekend. Going overseas DIY style definitely gives more freedom when planning one’s itinerary. We [...]

Help little Charmaine battle her cancer!

Jym — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:23:20 +0000

3yr old Charmaine has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma (cancer) & needs your help. When I first learnt of her plight, little was known to directly help Charmaine. It is heartening to know that there are still on-going efforts to raise funds for her. I am not in any way affiliated with Bak2U, but I believe this [...]

Just ordered this baby for $617.68 SGD (shipping inclusive). Going to run TweetSG SMS gateway on it is really small & low-power; 4″ x 4.5″ x 1.05″ – smaller than a CD running at 7Watts with NO moving parts!

“Real-timeness” of info may be doing more harm for Twitter

Jym — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:23:30 +0000

It’s ironic that real-timeness of information that made Twitter famous is now giving them a hard time. It started first with a couple of “worms” that irritated users. Now from end-users, it switched to developers who adopted public beta OAuth protocol into their services and are now affected by another security issue with the protocol. OAuth [...]

Count my blessings

All these gloom & doom talks can really get to you. Instead of ranting, it makes more sense to do the contrary, write about good things! 1. My appraisal was good even though I don’t expect any increment or bonus in such times. At least my efforts were recognised. 2. Did a phone interview for Tweet.sg with [...]

Different folk, different stroke

Jym — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 04:12:34 +0000

Recently, read some online mainstream SG articles by some local writers about online social media. The general tone of their writing is that these mediums are pointless. Phrases like “Why the heck do I care about what you are doing/thinking” or “Online marketing is just serendipitous & newspaper is still very important else you businesses [...]

When Demand meets Supply or vice versa

Jym — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 03:20:53 +0000

Matching demand & supply is nothing new in the online world. Now it has taken shape in Twitterverse. I was thinking about it, could such match-making be effective in Twitter? Is there such a thing in Twitter? Apparently the answer is yes: http://everythingtwitter.com/2009/03/04/twtmarket-buy-sell-trade-and-jobs-on-twitter/ and http://twtmarket.com/ The effectiveness is yet to be seen. I have some ideas of [...]
