HTC Touch HD Freezes and Crashed
Just experienced for the first time, my HTC Touch HD is crashed. The screen showing checkered boxes (black and white) and the phone is not responding when I tried to hard shutdown by press and holding the power button for several seconds.
I end up taking out the battery, wait a couple of seconds and then put it back and turn on the PDA phone. Touch HD works fine after the reboot, although it’s very strange that the phone is crashing right after I ended a phone call.

Long Time Not Blogging
It's been quite some time that I haven't post anything new in my blog, this is due to my work and i haven't had time to spent to write some thing that i consider as worth the time to write about it. You know that blogging take a lot of time, especially if you want to make a good post.
People knows that blogging takes time, that is why more and more people moved to twitter and plurk for example, where you can post something within 1 paragraph or even 1 sentence. I haven't create twitter or plurk account my self as i don't want to spend more time on updating it.
I'm rather start to reduce my time browsing the internet, blogging, chatting, etc. as i start to feel that i takes too much time using the internet, somehow i feel that it's not productive. How about you? do you find your self addicted to blog, twitter, facebook, etc. ?
Is it Time to Move to Linux?
Recently I'm installing Linux Ubuntu on a PC and quite impressed with their developments. Linux Ubuntu becoming more and more user friendly for me (although for average PC users will still quite difficult to use Linux).
With my current needs of computing and work which is almost all of it is web based, such as chat with my abroad collegues, checking emails, social networking, blogging, web administration, server administration, etc. I started to feel that the need of Microsoft Windows is less demanding.
Travel Coffee Presser
Two days ago I had a chat with my friend (and also my mentor in software engineering) Ruud Mulder. On the chat we discuss several subjects and one of it is "Coffee", an interesting topic for both of us 
then the topic went to "I'll make you jealous because I have an Espresso coffee maker at my house" as Ruud told me that he have an Espresso coffee maker at his house so he can make a "real espresso" that taste better than the coffee that made by the coffee machine at his office.
Xen VPS can’t initialize iptables table ‘filter’
If you using HyperVM and get this error message after upgrading your dom0's Xen kernel:
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
It means that the library for the kernel is not copied yet to the VM. To fix this simply copy the new kernel library from /lib/modules/<new kernel> to VM's /lib/modules directory then restart the VM.

Richest Man on Earth
You may be thinking that Bill Gates the co-founder of Microsoft is the richest man in the world, not anymore. I read article on Forbes.com today and on that article, it said that Bill Gates is no longer the world’s richest man.
The title now goes to well known investor: Warren Buffett. With estimated $62 billion of wealth (up $10 billion from last year), Warren Buffett now tackle Bill Gates who was the richest man for consecutive 13 years!
