Many good technical people like James Gosling and Bryan Cantrill left not long after the acquisition. Why is that?

I don't know, of course. But I'd like to make a guess.

"Can I have it done in 2 days?"
"Not with good quality"
"It's fine, time to market is more important"

No right and wrong, in many cases, slow to market do mean no market. But real good technical people just don't do something entirely for business purpose. If they do, we wouldn't have a chance to use good quality software. This might explain why Sun still managed to create great stuffs while suffering good amount of business losses. I guess in Oracle, too many decisions are being made from business perspective, which certain people simply just couldn't stand it.

So I was wrong to say that Argentina would be winning the cup for sure. It turns out that Higuaín and Tevez weren't performing as good as I though, and there seems to be no midfielders in the team as Veron didn't get much chance to show his skill. Of course, an early goal from Germany was the key.

Like Paul, I will be taking Spain in the final tonight.

First time in Africa, no advantage for either Europe or South America teams. Kicking off this weekend, as always, I am going to put all my bet on Argentina, not only because of Messi but also Maradona. How on earth can they possible not win the cup with players like Messi, Tevez, Veron and Higuaín?

Looking forward to a month of excitement.

So James Gosling is still taking his break before making the next move, while he doesn't think the iPad is as useful as most iPad's fans think. And I am in the middle of suffering my first mid-life crisis as I've told a few friends of mine. This is the first time in my life that I have no idea what would I want to achieve in the future and even what my interest is. What I am doing now is something that I must do in order to make a living, sad to say that, isn't it?

Not everything is bad though.

I think I am interested in learning Wing Chun martial art, isn't it cool?

Every now and then when people want me to recommend places to eat, or drink, my answers are always "cincai", which in English means "anything will do."

I see it as a serious personal problem for myself especially when comes to dating girls. I tried to search the Web for things like "nice hokkien mee in Serdang" but most I got was rubbish. Or I could choose to read a few blog posts or articles after google for "nice hokkien mee in Serdang" before I get back to the person boringly waiting at the other side.

So I created this website called klasz.com, a social classified website.

It is now barely good enough for people to use, still lots of features in my list pending to be implemented. I need feedbacks from you, I'm also looking for development partner who is interested and willing to contribute. Source code will be moved to free code hosting site soon as I am still evaluating which one is good for project like this.

This is your website too, every visitor who sincerely would like to use the site is my boss. So drop me feedback (there is a "send feedback" link on the homepage"), if you want some nice features that I am able to do, I will do it.
