I need to keep this place more up to date ... random threads of thought ...

2007-10-30T06:53:00.000+08:00

So lets see, Code::XtremeApps::, Tata Crucible, Claudia the MS lady ... to name a few things I didn't quite blog about. On the other side, there's Pagek and Python ...

Looking for internships now ... the MS thing would be neat ... the Apple one would be nice too ... also trugging along is the DORIS thing, hope the MHA is supportive, or it might not pan out ... Maybe continuing research over the winter might be an option ... maybe not.

CC-Monitor formally coming to a close soon. Kiveli about to retire ... and I might just do the research proposal ...

In other news, GMAIL rolls out new U/I [apparently for IE only ...] doesn't look much different, just a lighter shade of yellow, and wider screen-span. Oh, just noticed, new contact card on mouse-over ... kinda like the ones in G-talk ... and a "Filter messages like this" ... neat. Cool, "Add event invitation" in the compose window, though not very useful for me ... usually always have the calendar open anyways ...

I know these are random thoughts with little or no meaning, but whoever said this was meant to make any sense to you in the first place?

Buzz out loud and the other podcasts I am into right now ... Awesome! =)

okie, I'll close out with hoping he gets through the interview well and they hire him with no more hiccups ...

... and more ...

2007-08-06T22:00:00.000+08:00

So a lot has happened since the post, lets recap ...

Part 1: This community service project (CSP) has been fun so far ... largely due to the people invovled ... it was nice to meet up with the freshmen, Kelvin(s), Saurav, Xue Shan, Michelle ... all seem like fun people. Also nice to be working with Kang wei, Darren, Ailina, Yulin and others whom I didn't get to work with directly in MetamorphoSIS. It also introduced me to Friendster (no, I already knew it existed, but now I am member).

Enter 'aYgur': I met this guy during the freshmen meet-up lunch and he's pretty interesting. I might end up working with him on some projects. Well that's all abt him, he'd like to remain "low-profile". Note : name obfuscated for the same reason.

Philip goes home: Philip's gone back ... so now I need to find someone to go swimming with ... then again, school will re-open soon. Anyways, it was fun while he was around ... doing stuff like watching "Life of Brian" in a meeting room with the Dell speakers. Hope to stay in touch with him.

The SIS Orientation Camp just ended yester-to-day so the memories are still very fresh. Well all in all it was fun and the freshmen enjoyed themselves. It was interesting to see though the dynamics of the team morph and play out during the camp. It was really nice to work

Tanu: Super-woman, can be the I/C of three things concurrently
Don: Stay rational, stay calm
Felix: "May I know, who needs the broom?" Seriously, really nice to work with you. If I had just a word, it'd be 'focused'
Marylin: Nice to get to know you, always working, never say die
Maoyuan: Look, it's Flash-god!
Mark: Nice working with you dude, lets see if I can find time to help you guys with the video
Aaron: It's you again, didn't we get enough of you @ WWDC? No way! It was nice working with you again :)
Melinie: Vice-Chair and Secretary - a 2 in 1 combo, nice job of meticulous planning.
Alex: "Where can I help?"
Duan Jie: "Could you give me honest feedback for the games ..."
Dave: "Bro, can help me do ... am really busy today? Thanks Bro." BTW, thanks for the flour!
Andy Soh: Egg-head! Sorry couldn't resist the temptation. Thanks for making the camp fun and lively. It was really nice getting to know you through the camp and look forward to working with you again on more exciting endeavours. All the effort and work you put into the camp will surely be remembered all of us and all the grateful freshmen! :)

Long Meetings and Sleepless nights.
Andy Williams: The cheerleader! "Everyone, repeat after me ... Do as I say ... Early morning, late at night, the org comm charges out to fight, singing, Chiku-cha Chiku-cha Chiku-cha-cha-cha" ... nice work on the clue sheets man
An Dien: The Game-boy ... BTW, I agree; numbered shirts would've been cool. Anyways, no more printing for An Dien, ever!
Ivan: Nice job with the games ... and putting up with An Dien's antics! ;)
Jaclyn: Frisbee girl ... nice work on the family day planning ... 'ReSIStor table'
Aditya: Why can't the speech be PRISM-style? On a completely different topic, good work on the sponsorship ... more-or-less ... :)
Zulikha: "I am the I/C, I think ..." Good job taking charge back then ... I seriously don't mind sleeping on the stage for the team, if that's what it takes.
Gua Hao: Hope your internship wasn't affected too much by the camp
Shun Ping: You'd better ace CAT now :P
Vivek: Hope you had fun in California, we could've used an extra hand at the camp though.
Kang Wei: Will see you @ StarringSMU part 2 ...
Ce-wei: Thanks for the lift and all the hard work, the log team rocked!
Wei fung: "Smile, don't worry, you'll be OK"
Augustine: The safety and health guy, who wouldn't eat bananas and go sky-diving?
Cheryl: The happy faci, happy leader ... smile more!
Fredric: It was nice getting to know you during our retreat, too bad you couldn't find time to enjoy the camp with us.
Darren: I'll see you @ StarringSIS ... :)

Also nice getting to know Yulin, Yeena, Ailina, Nicholas, Kelvin[s], Saurav, Xue Shan, Ayush, Navin, Yash, Alex Chong and other folks whose name I don't quite know / remember ....

So, what's next? StarringSMU part 2 - National Day Parade, Human Flag formation, that's day after on the 8th to the 10th ... more on that later.

And now for something completely different ... TDM Intro.

So we meet the guys with the tagline: "We Wanna Create an Addictive Culture of Sharing, Enterprise & Innovation!" ... The Digital Movement.

Suprise suprise, they're all students ... yes they forgot to mention that on their blog [maybe by design]. Anyways, not quite what I had in mind. Though they seem to friendly and fun people and would cool working with them. Maybe I'll even end up joining them!

We should be collaborating on at least the CC-Singapore Launch ... more on that on my wordpress blog! =) ... later

Hmmm, started with the Monty Python series and well "it's completely different" ;) ... will try and get hold of a classroom and see "the life of Brian" on the projector with Philip and others interested.

That's all for now ...

That's me in San Fran ... don't I look cool in red?

I'll be uploading most of the pics on to the page setup by Leon. Interestingly I bumped into Jit today and he was asking for the pics too ...

Hmmm, well it's back to work now, with the internal presentation looming closer by the day [it's on the 18th of July] I need to start the Yahoo dictionary search for CC content and try and plot the data from the CC-Mixter community in a social network analysis tool. BTW Mike's and our presentations from the i-commons summit can be found here.

Also thanks to Steve's interest in the Interactive Digital Media, Special Interest Group that I am to initiate I'll be meeting with folks from TDM [The Digital Movement]. I'll see if I can get them to help us with the launch of the Singapore CC licenses.

I also need to work on the stuff for MetamorphoSIS 07, like setting up a registration system which is quick and easy to use.

I guess I'll have to get something to watch soon, I've seen all 4 seasons of "Penn and Teller: Bullshit" (worth the watch) and I am left with only 5 un-watched episodes of Pinky and the Brain. Which basically means I need to get myself more storage space.

Oh and I am planning to finishing off my comm serv this term through the largest CSP undertaken by SMU titled "Starring SMU".

Well here's another pic from San Fran, this one is from the Stanford campus we visited. The 2 folks standing predominantly visible are a married couple with the guy being a prof in a poly ... a say in "a" poly since I've forgotten which one ... sorry :P

And yes the campus does look church-ish at places but I guess it's just too difficult to escape religion in any /every walk of life that one eventually either just gives in, becomes a skeptic or comes up with their own ... I, BTW am a Pastafarian. =)

So here are the folks we spent most of the time at San Fran with ... that's SMU and NTU guys and gals [respectively ;) ] except for Jit ... remember the guy I told you about asking for photos ... anyways ...

And a final pic to prove I really did go to San Fran and the pics are from there [No, I am not that good with photoshop ... yet!]

That's all for now ... more to follow soon [hopefully] =)

Yep, been all over the place just to attend WWDC 07 [Photos coming soon]. It was great fun, though Seattle was fun too, more so because of the folks at Seattle - "Sina is a fish out of water."

So basically (to cut a long story short) found a round about way to make it to WWDC and back and in turn missed going to the CC i-commons summit in Croatia [not enough time to get both visas stamped].

So what next? Co-authoring another paper for CC-Monitor, doing another project for SCB I-Lab and possibly going back to SFO to meet with Mike and other CC folk, reps from Google, Yahoo and the internet archive. And then there is the Orientation camp - metamorphosis, community service and bunch of other things ...

Started swimming now, planning to go on all weekdays with Philip [the German guy whom I am helping out with VBA for his masters project :P]

Okie thats the general picture as of now. Here's something I noticed, flip almost anything around and half the time [irrespective of what it is] it reads the words in fine print "Made In China". Here are a couple of things which I successfully tried it with:

Google Key-chain
Space needle souvenir from Seattle
Seal soft toy souvenir from Golden Gate bridge
Apple water bottle

and the list goes on ... FYI This blog was written in Singapore ... NOT China!

More chocolate, VBA and timeout with Rachit, Shui and folks ... well, it was a big slab of choccolate, it just didn't feel right to devour it all in a day, made more sense to worship it :P ... Oh and also got some from Vivek Desai (no, I won't die due to over consumption of chocolate ... chocolate doesn't kill and I'll prove that, even if it kills me!). More VBA, well Kevin (one of the guys who did his FYP with Apple) asked for help with his CAT project, and well, I like VBA :P ... hmmm, 'twas fun to just hangout and meet new people ...

So, what else ... well, I have a version my GSoC application, not completly satifying but a version none the less. Would be cool, if to get through for GSoC, I mean, who wouldn't want a Google T-Shirt!? Will recheck my resume, add IDM SIG to it and throw in a application for the Apple WWDC scholarship as well.

Still unsure if I have a marketing mid-term on Tuesday (couldn't check with John, I think he's phone-o-phobic :P ... does he ever pick up his phone?) and would still rather attend the ACM Symposium if possible! :P

hmmm, oh well, am just going to code in the dictionary search for CC-Monitor now ... back to work.

On another note, a forwarded email read "Congratulations! Your submission Measuring the Creative Commons", co-authored by A. Guglani and G. Tayi, has been accepted for presentation in SCECR 07 – Third Statistical Challenges in eCommerce Research Symposium"

Am hoping to get a free pass for the ACM Symposium and the other bigger security conference at which Michael will be presenting in April. Lets see how it goes.

I am done with a second draft for my GSoC application, one more pass and it'll be almost ready. I am hoping to submit it by Monday, hopefully Adam and Michael will be done with the red-tape by then. I need to submit my Apple thing over the weekend as well.

Met up with Adeline (SMU BIG) today ... another meeting on Monday morning 10 am ... so now the IDM SIG folks can have a networking session with NYP and NAFA students, how nice! =)

Okie, end of random ramblings for now, back to the chocolate, the first one of the year ... yummilicious ...

Ohkie, let's play catch up ... in this post I'll recapatulate all that has come to pass since the last post ... ermm ... okie, looks like I haven't posted for a really really long time, my last unpublished post was an eulogy for Sonu ... guess I couldn't really come up with the right words (if they exist). Since then, hmmm made a lot of progress with my research project (go Free Culture!), done a couple of projects with SCB I-Lab, launched an IDM SIG and am applying for Google Summer of Code 2007 (fingers-crossed) and that's the major highlights. How's that for fast-forward!

Am working with the DDE team, frankly think I'll end up doing a good part of their project for them if they're going to finish this. Everything else seems to be going as scheduled.

For the summer, am still trying for sky-diving, hopfully this August. I'll be working on a WATIR script for Michael to help him migerate Scoop to a newer (functional) version in April. Also be working with MetamorphoSIS exco and to arrange the orientation camp. There'll always be my research and hopefully GSoC! Am also applying for Apple WWDC scholarship.

Hmmm, might get to attend the security conference Michaels' speaking at, should be an interesting experience. and while I am at the topic of Michael, do check out www.securitytinker.com, am trying to help him collate a lot of cool stuff there. =)

Okie then, that's all for now, I need to get some work done, am still to finalise my GSoC proposal and I have an 0830 Am class tomo... today!

Life used to be "Mehnat Karne Se Kya Fayda" ... now it's more like "...?" ... no time to really think and reflect, so much to do! Even now, it's holdays, vacation time ... or is it? There's the internship, the simulation project, this cool crypto book I am reading, SISS work (fortunately not too much!) ... and then I take it all with a smile ... There's a lot more to do than say 8 months ago, but it's fun.

The internship is finally looking up, it's kinda fun now, just takes some time getting used to like I said. Mehul's getting married on the 3rd ... wonder if he'll ever read this ... anyways, Bhai will be here tomorrow ... which mean I MUST finish off the simulation project NOW and if possible submit it as well!

Hey you guys should really try out Not pr0n, it's supposed to be the hardest riddle on the net. It's great fun, I made it till level 16 so far, thanks Euquin for the link!

Anyways, time is short, life's not; so, I'll be back ... after I am done with the project!

At work again ... damn I still haven't done my simulation project, standing on the edge now. Should've used the weekend more productively. It's sad and frustrating when you know just what to do all along but for reason or no apparent reason, you simply don't do it!

Anyways, yesterday's FIFA match was fun ... it was Portugal v/s Netherlands ... there was just one goal scored and well 4 red cards dealt out ... and I think a total of 14 ... it was more like wrestling! Every time someone picked up a card a fist-fight inclusive of pushing, pulling, tugging, nudging, head-bangs! ... and of course ... kicking broke out.

Wonder what other folks are upto ... was thinking they'd be enjoying their hols ... but the more I hear about the more of them seem to a part of the work force, intern-ing in places with grandiloquent brand images.

Anyways, priority one now is to finish of the Simulation Project and submit it, then focus on the internship job. Blurrr ... lotsa other knick-knacks to do.

Well here are a few more signs that the intern isn't working out ...

Book :: Kelton's - Simulation with Arena.

So here I am sitting at my "workstation" @ 1725 hrs IST and well there's a power-cut. For those unacquainted with the term it's when there is no electricity ... yes, that happens here, a lot! So anyhow, here I am sitting on a desktop typing away into my MSN window [I tabbed blogger into it - MSN Messenger :)]. Oh and for those of you still stuck up on the power-cut, well I am still able to blog because only one phase has gone (just my luck!) so there're no lights, fans or aircon but the desktop terminal is still alive and we're expected to slog through conditions that can easily be classified as sweltering. And that causes Mehul, the guy sitting next to me yelp a plea of "Hey Bhagwan" which can roughly be translated to OMG.

So now coming back to the topic ... Office. Well as much as I'd love to, it wouldn't be apt for me to reveal the true nature of things that go through the medium of this blog, all I can say is that it's an experience like you'd never have expected ... and one that takes a while to settle into.

Anyways, now a days, I am in a cycle that ensure I can't do anything even mildly productive (barring the work @ office). I need to break free now and complete the simulation project ... refer book section above.

My last few posts were ones typed in a real hurry, well now that I can blog from office without having to go through IE I guess the next few will be a bit more read-worthy.

Hey, lights're back ... guess I'll get back to work ... anyways, every[working]one should try blogging via MSN Messenger by tabbing the service provider ... MSGPlus! Boss mode (+Global Keys+) complements it really well!

Book :: Dan Brown - Angels & Demons [Yep, still reading it ... Hey! I am on intern here, gimme a break! No time to read :( ]

So Here I am rambling again ... I'll be away for the weekend. Thoughts in head, it's simply amazing how we mean to be just friendly and without even realising it, end up saying something that seems just so wrong. Is it just the fact that communication is now more via text [SMS / internet] and has lost the 'human touch' ... or are the perspectives of the two so different that anything said, just doesn't mean the same thing ... or is it just the mind playing tricks ...?

Moving along ... internships can be boring ... they really don't work you to your potential, I'd expect that ... but it's utterly hopeless when the assigned work is something you could do even if you never went to school ... make you almost regret ever having gone to school =P. Anyhow, it'll still be some fun working here ...

Hey Geri ... completely sympathize with you ... now I see why your internship had you down ... and now I under stand Joanna's reactions to the word "internship". Really can't say she didn't give a fair warning.

Okie, I've gotta leave in about 15 mins, still to pack up my stuff ... will blog again ... sometime soon ... hopefully!

Ps.: Happy Birthday Bro!

Espirit De Icarus

2006-06-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

Man has forever been striving for freedom, and in a manner of speaking, dreaming to break free and fly away. It's not a new dream, to 'spread your wings and fly'. We see it in myths (the flight of Icarus), you must've experienced it in your own lives and today, we hear it in songs (Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway, R.Kelly - I believe I can fly ...) too. So what happens when a bunch of SMU students get bent upon the idea of flight? No, you don't get the Wright Bros. again ... but close! You get the SMUXceed Skydiving Team. Why you may ask would anyone want to jump out of a plane in flight with no imminent threat? Let's find out ...

Ngiang Boon Loong wishes to skydives because, "The spirit of skydiving is one of believing that nothing is impossible ..." while Paul says "To push myself both physically and mentally; taking a step toward finding my own limitations and extremes and going outside my own comfort-zone. " So, what's my take on it having been a part of the same team? Well coz this is as 'extreme' as is available to me right now ... I'd love to go a step further, but alas.

So they tread this path to conquer the skies and in their walk do they conquer their fears? Most people do find the thought of jumping out of a plane cruising somewhere across the blue yonder scary. Do the daredevils of the skies have apprehensions? They recently excursion-ed to Genting, Malaysia for an ultimate vertical wind-tunnel thrust and here are some thoughts before they went in ... well at least here's mine, "Big Tunnel, with big fan and lotsa wind … Hope it’s fun!"

So it's been about half a month since I landed in India, and it's been a bit boring. Well, there isn't a vertical wind-tunnel in here, nor do we have a wall handy to climb up and belay on. Did manage to play a round of badminton though. Read a few books. Got a consultancy assignment at Deloitte. Well, nothing much to do for now. Better finish up my simulation project before it hits me as 'late work'. Also need to do up the sky-diving article for Vié ...

Angeloid picks nice time to play Silence, an ancient ritual called upon at times of anger, disappointment or total boredom. Lahira drops a "potli" of mangoes and retreats to the over-crowded city of Mumbai from whence he came. Though, every mango now unlock whips of sweet memories which linger for a while and endure with evanescence, just enough to leave a bittersweet after-taste. Sonu leaves for the same dreaded place soon ... tomorrow in fact! Even Princess left the land and moved to Ahmedabad. It's not what it used to be, but a barren land, and I stand alone ... nah!

Well, here's my say [the good part!], Angeloid, Silence, aren't we a bit too old for that game? Lahira, well, um ... er ... Thanks for the mangoes? Sonu, cya in the morning dude! Princess, I remember someone saying something about change in a email [hey, you know I tend to remember trinkets] ... you'll survive.

Goddess, stop worrying SO much, go listen to "Just a Ride" by Jem ... or learn from Manu [itna sikhaya, kuch seekh bhi lo!]. Bhayu, ab aap se kya kahen, bajatey jao ... Madam Butterfly, [not referring to the composition] you could consider replying sometimes when logged into MSN.

Now phasing into my Sg world ... Phel [hey, it's my blog, so you get the nick, I like =)] don't over-work yourself over the o-camp [I know it sounds hopeless coming from me, but trust me] well, at least don't worry so much about it! Debs, website content ... still waiting. Geri! Thanks so much for staying in touch, I know your internship is killing you, and you're thinking was it really a good choice, yet thanks for finding time. =)

Well that's about it for now ... closing quote follows ...

Another birthday ...

2006-04-19T23:37:00.000+08:00

As promised in the previous post, so here's how it went, a meeting was called for, and all those IS students who wanted to help out SISS with its working were invited. The group was greeted with pizza and cake (no, not Gek Peng, the real thing … well she was there too). So what was the occasion? Well as put by Shannon, it was the birthday of the SISS Boys ... well, it was the birthday of David and Isaacs' is tomorrow ... oh yeah, today’s mine too! Well, as the card was handed out and I later read, left like words from the hearts. Anyways, Cake and Pizzas was not the end of it, in fact just the beginning. After this we went out for dinner, Steve’s treat. For those of you who don't know, Steve refers to Steven Miller, the Dean of SIS. Well, I quite crashed after that was half-asleep during the dinner itself actually. Anyways, so another day came to a close.

Birthdays ...

2006-04-15T23:30:00.000+08:00

Erm, happy Easter everyone! Okie, so it's that day again, Ngiap Hwee (the pronounceable name is ambiguous) finally managed to drag me down to expo. They put on a pretty good show, or at least better than what I had been expecting. That's when they went over the story of Easter as per the bible (and to think, people say they don't read books these days ...) Much like most religions a lot is still murky about this one, they all seekth the 'Holy Grail' while actually, no one really know what it even is!

Not so far away in a distant part of the world, on which some of my thought is now bent, princess celebrates her birthday, or at least I think she'd be celebrating it ... right? Anyways, birthday wishes to you. Rahil, I sent you an email about 6 days ago wishing you a happy birthday as well, a 'read receipt' would do a world of good! Since we are oscillating a few days here and there, 8 days later is Saanyas' birthday if I do correctly remember (ok fine, I remember birthdays, it's not a crime!). So birthday wishes to everyone ...

Sonu, I sent you a mail on your birthday as well, aap bhi agar reply kar detey to ... aur Shui ko to in person wish kar hi diya tha, so that wraps up most of the birthdays around this time. Another one is neigh, but I shall expound on that one in my next post.

That's all for now, back to work.

Another blog ...

2006-04-03T20:56:00.000+08:00

So, I stopped blogging for a while big deal, it's not like the end of the world or anything! I mean I haven't written a poem for approximately just as long (if not longer). Anyways, life isn't how it used to be, term 2 if put simply was (and still is) "EVIL". No time for blogging or poetry or anything much at all actually ... but guess what, I am back ...

It's summer hols and not a minute to spare ... working on SISS gathering and appreciation by the dean event on the 19th. Followed by the java revision classes from the 19th to the 21st ... should be fun being on the other side for a change. This is followed by 1st aid training from 24th to 27th. By now the Term would've begun and the next week-end would be the wind-tunnel trip. Ofcourse alongside this I'll be doing the web-site dsign for SMUX DDE '06 and probably also working on the Peer Helpers web-site and the SMUX Xceed Team, Sky Diving web portal. Also other stuff like the ISA Spotlight, the SIS Orientation camp etc. Also the wanting to read up on how write plug-ins for excel in C++ and learn how to play guitar ... and ofcourse the summer internship at Deloitte ... I see fun times lie ahead! =)

That's all for now ... blogging out!
