Found this piece from Ian’s Messy Desk, who has a good collection of humorous Christian jokes… The Coast Guard has to become involved in some unexpected way. The service is held at “Splash Mountain Water Park.” The Pastor has to wear a frogman outfit complete with air tanks into the water. As the baptism begins [...]

… and it smells fishy. I found in my spam basket, reported by SpamAssassin, and apparently it tries to impersonate itself as sending from the ANZ bank. Here is the header of that email, with some information masked.

After I signed myself up for trading on the BlogShares, I’ve made a few trades recently. Initially I thought I will buy some Christian shares, and thought maybe I can contribute to the work of God by this (yeah right!). So I went and purchased some stock from blogs4God and Heal Your Church Web Site [...]

At work we are trying to establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to another company in Melbourne. Being a die-hard Microsoft shop themselves, we have settled down to use Microsoft’s VPN (PPTP or IPSec) technology to connect our internal LAN and their network together over the Internet. We are on the client side and [...]

After year and half of hard work, it has finally came to fruition. I can’t remember how many lat night/early morning labouring in the front of my computer, trying to finish up the last bits and pieces for production, and now my precious little baby is about to be released to the public to catch [...]

Think Secret has posted a rumour on the up-coming iBook updates which quite disappointedly only move the processor speed up by 100MHz. There is no AirportExtree, there is Bluetooth, there is no Firewire, there is no ATI Radeon 9000, and there certainly is no Gigahertz G3. Even though it is just a rumour, but it [...]

A blog/journal site that I’ve read often listed on Rice Bowl Journals has been taken off-line when I visited it today, because someone else has been mirroring it. From a link provided, it seems soksok.jp is a DoCoMo service provider for the mobile phone users in Japan to read blog sites (actually, any website) on [...]

In the afternoon, Vivian and I accompanied a friend from MBF to shop for a new car. Basically, she is shopping for a new small’ish car less than $25,000. She has done enough research, and when we picked her up from the Central station today, she was pretty certain that she will be getting the [...]

5th of April has no special meaning in Australia. However, in Taiwan it is a day of 清明 (Chin Min), where people worship their ancestors next to their tomb. Well, in my family, instead of worshiping the ancestors (which we don’t do anyway), we celebrate my birthday. And it is now 2003 Anno Domino – [...]

Saw this article on MSN, talking about the Jensens brothers in Sydney Anglican. Meet the Jensens It is quite an interesting read, and has told me something I did not know about the Peter and Phillip. It starts with what we have known today – Peter as the Archbishop of Sydney and Phillip as Dean [...]
