My favorite classic game : UFO Defense Enemy Unknown
Computers, Internet July 4th, 2010
Here’s a video to my favorite game during my high-school days. It reach Malaysia in 1993-1994. The name of the game is UFO Defense: Enemy Unknown, published by Microprose.
It is a turn-based game, but unlike any typical turn-base game it includes elements of real-time action
The premise of this game is the aliens are invading Earth, and it is up to X-COM, an elite black-ops organization funded by UN to protect the planet from the Alien terror. The alien uses advance weaponry and genetic engineering to achieve their goals, while the humans with organized efforts from several countries would attempt to stop the invaders from succeeding in their plans.

If you happen to download the Windows version, then you should also download the bugfix for a bug that caused video display garble error during the game start-up.
Download the bugfix here…
You can get the game from Amazon :

X-Com: UFO Defense or from some other shady places….
Enjoy!
Its time to move to another hosting
General December 26th, 2008
I hate to admit this, but i think the time has come for me to move to another hosting provider as I felt the current provider is counter productive to my writing with frequent downtime and DNS failures.
I’ll be transferring the host to Dreamhost, which I’ve been using since 2005 to host my other websites. Hopefully with this move I’ll be able to write frequently as before.

Absent Minded-ness : Signs of madness or personal quirks?
General, Rants April 27th, 2008
I dont feel well lately as I found out that I’m hard to focus on certain things. The random lapse of attention made me worry a little bit.
Probably I should restructure my way of thinking. I need something to do, something like developing an interesting and exciting system, something useful which can make me re-focus my attention and train my brain again.
The state of idleness can drove one mad, or is it just my personal quirks to be absent minded when I’m not into research and development work?

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5 today
Computers, Internet April 17th, 2008
I finally had the time to upgrade Please Name My blog to WordPress 2.5 today (or rather tonight). I noticed the blog runs much faster and smoother with the latest release of WordPress, though I hope they would fix the upload file script which I find it a bit buggy for my use.

If you running WordPress, then I suggest you upgrade your WordPress installation the latest release as there are many bugfix and features in this release. Not to mention about the potential security issues when running older WordPress installation.
Expect to see newer posts after this.
Ass kissing is an important skill that I’ve forgotten
General February 8th, 2008
That’s true. I blew up a teaching job today solely because I forgot to ass kiss one of the interviewer, supposedly a great teacher who really cares about the well-being of his student (Let just say his name is Noor Hassan from BPM MARA, some hypocrite if you ask me! ). Poor me. (Well you don’t know me, I dont know you, fair enough. Even if I know you, I would be still treated badly btw for the sake of ‘fairness’ among other candidates)
Yeah, rediscovered that in order to get what you want; talent, experience, flair and intelligence does not count much when people does not seek you. What matter is that you are willing to go further down below, even farther than you ever go, and that is ass-kissing.
Leaders who are in their top place does not rely with their skills in leadership alone when they first started from the bottom of the pack. They are the greatest ass-kisser around, and I was blind to take example from our fine leaders.
I wrote this because of the very same reason I wrote every other article, which is to inform. Interviewers are human too, no matter how they act, react or trying to portray, a well-placed ass kissing is the way to go if you want to get extra impression that you are knowledgeable and an asset to government organizations, things are different in private sectors though.
Don’t laugh, it is part of the so-called communication skills.

Time to get a new mouse
Computers November 30th, 2007
Darn, guess I’ve to get myself a new mouse. Among most the things I hate to replace, I hate getting a new mouse the most. Probably it going to take me some time to get use to a new mouse in order to be more productive.

The current mouse still works, but its left button seems a little bit “trigger-happy” and I’m having trouble to perform drag+selecting text action. This might impair me when I’m manipulating graphics too.
Oh well better get a new mouse btw rather than complaining, probably I should get a new keyboard too..
Some things are meant to be 1337 !

Finally I’ve the time to add “Contact Me” form on my website
Computers, Internet October 22nd, 2007
FInally after more than 5 years, that I’ve the time to add the-easy-to-use online Contact Form to my own personal website.
The site has been around since 2002 and has been relocated to 3 different web servers since its establishment. Previously the website serves as my online portfolio where it serves as a point of contact for potential employers to reach me.
Now I guess it is just a personal website where people can get to know me or contact me through the web page as I am not actively seeking for job right now (yes I am still voluntarily unemployed!)
For the curious mind, I’ve use some of the techniques describe here to create the Contact Form, enjoy!
