Have you ever been wondering if you yourself is considered as a smart person?

See below links to make yourself even smarter:

Ten Tips to be Smarter
Ultimate rule to be a smart guy
The first thing you should know to be a smart person


If you just attempted to click on all of those links, you should already know how smart you are.

Sometimes, whatever you think you are, that's what you are.

This post was inspired by secretGeek.

A friend of mine asked me: "Do you know how to reset password?"

Intuitively, I assumed she's asking the way to do on Windows, therefore I said: "I suppose so."

A moment later, she said: "Good, so how? I've got a Macbook here..."

"Sorry, I can't help." That's what I can say.

Do you notice the "Picture of the day" box at the top right corner?

That's a new feature just being added into my blog to let my visitor has more interesting to see while reading some boring stuffs.

Apart from that, James Gosling just blogging about his trip to Kuala Lumpur last week. The picture he took is much much nicer than every one that I managed to capture during the event, go have a look.

It's fun.

What I've got for free gifts? 2 T-shirts, 1 mug, 1 laptop bag and 2 casual bags.

What I've got that really bring myself benefits?
I got the chance to meet some famous techies like Bill Venners (President of Artima Software), Rima Patel (co-author of Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0), Stephen Lau (OpenSolaris kernel developer) and James Gosling (you know that!). They are all really smart guys and I've learnt a lot of insightful thoughts from them. While they are extremely good in technical, they are also good speakers. For instances James shared us about the current status and future of Java, Bill urged us to sway a bit and deal with software failures as much as we can, Rima told us she hate Javascript when talking about AJAX, which is quite a surprise to me and a lot more...

Besides, we're also enjoying great food during a series of break sessions, chit-chatting with previous working peers, sharing working situation, debating about pros and cons of new technologies and so on.

It's a nice experience and I'm looking forward to the coming one.

According to Raymond's opinion, every culture has its strange food that is used to scare away foreigners. He points out that in Sweden, it's surströmming, where in Malaysia, it probably is Durian.
