Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
Thank you for your continual patronage of my blog, here at xanga. After
blogging on html and then moving here for the past 2 over years, I've
finally decided that I've outgrown xanga, for all its free love, and
decided to take matters back into my own hands.
Like all geeks, the machoism in me wanted to rebuild my own
blogging engine, but that spirit is not rational, as one should always
leverage on the web energy and create something that is unique and
deliver the most value for their readers. Therefore, not long ago I
started working on wordpress, which was surprisingly easy to setup and
run.
So folks, this is it,
Ong Jiin Joo @ http://wp.jiinjoo.com
I might, "might", someday decide to cross post to benefit you, the
xanga reader and blogger, the benefit of getting alerts etc. However, I
think time is a cucial factor now and I hope that you can bear with me
on this. My homepage, http://www.jiinjoo.com will also syndicate the content, if you're more familiar with that URL.
Once again, I thank you for your continuous support, TLC and unwavering
readership of my musings, knowledge sharing, and feelings. I wish that
you will have a blessed, happy life and an eternal Internet connection,
complete with a big screen, a cool browser, consisting of a bookmark to: http://wp.jiinjoo.com and http://www.jiinjoo.com.
Yours sincerely,
Ong Jiin Joo

| Just took the Are You a Programmer? Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test By Peter Bromberg, basically a variation on the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test designed for
programmers, with background information on the indicator and links to
useful details and stuff.
The results were actually quite surprising. I mean I've always seen myself as an INTJ (Mastermind/Scientist), but turns out that my results says ENFP, which is the Musician/Champion person. My results:
E=9 Extraversion
I=2 Introversion
S=7 Sensing
N=13 iNtuition
T=8 Thinking
F=11 Feeling
J=9 Judging
P=10 Perceiving
You are an ENFP
Which means I cannot be a programmer  !
This is so sad. To think that the F (Feeling) factor has risen so much
more against the T (Thinking) factor. E > I is sort of expected. N
> S has given me enough trouble already, so that's understandable
too. J ~ P can be said to be my daily balance act, losing confidence in
the things I'm doing sometimes.
What type are you?
Anyway, Andreas Weigand is coming to town. You can meet him on 20th December evening at NTUC building. Check out the details on The Digital Movement's website. He'll be talking about
From E-Business to ME-Business How The New Web is Changing Marketing and Collaboration, basically all the Web2.0 data mining stuff.

Source: http://xkcd.com/c195.html - I'm sure they took the data from IANA.
But the fractal idea makes total sense. Still, I wished that there were
some cool class B addresses being shown. CMU is 128.2.x.x, SCS's IDC is
192.245.x.x etc.
Lots of toys can be found on one of my favourite DNS website: www.dnsstuff.com. The authority of the above information can be found here: www.internic.net. Try searching my IP address (will post to http://www.internic.net/whois.html) by just clicking Submit (or try yours).

See the cute heading? That's EdgeWrite. EdgeWrite is an award-winning accessible handheld and desktop text-entry sstem for users with motor impairments. Developed by Jacob Wobbrock (CMU CS '06) and SCS Professor Brad Myers,
EdgeWrite recognizes letters by the sequence in which the corners of a
small square-holed template are hit rather than the shape of the lines
connecting the corners. The system is highly adaptable to a variety of
devices, including wheelchair joysticks and desktop trackballs. It
provides greater ease, stability and accuracy not only for physically
disabled users, but also for users facing situational challenges such
as trying to write while riding in a vehicle.
Make sense? No, in Singlish then: this is technology to let you write
in a moving car. Got one square, your pen hit the wall of the square
and the computer know what you write. So you end up writing funny. It
is different from PDA, the "graffiti" thing, that recognizes shape.
Disabled people can't write properly shaped alphabets, some can't hold
pen, so can fit this on joystick (neh.. those attached to the wheel
chair), then the direction where the joystick is pushed is counted as
the same direction of your pen banging the wall.
So, how funny are the characters?
Want to write writing some yourself? Straight from the EdgeWrite homepage, here's a simple program that you can play with:
Extract. Run the EdgeWrite.Test.exe program in the dll folder. Have fun!
