Scott Yang's Playground

“Hello World” written by programmers at different level of evolution, ranging from high school students, to professionals, to hackers and to managers. It’s only funny when you realise the truth behind it…

Man. I love Dilbert, a carton about an engineer and his conflicts at work. However, I saw something interesting today. Maybe Scott Adams was trying to tell us about the Total Depravity of mankind. We thought we have free will, but in fact we are all enslaved by our own sinful desire. We cannot do [...]

(Dilbert 7 Nov 2004) Looks like this is what I am going to wear today at work. No wonder that I have not been respected recently.

DomainSite.com is now offering up to 20 1 year .info domain registration for free. I went there, trying to shop for the domain I want, but none of them are available. It is not free forever anyway, as you have to start paying after it expires in one year. But very useful indeed if you [...]

What if Microsoft has bundled its own release of NMap, the port/vulnerbility scanning software? Have to kill clippy first…

Saw this comment on Slashdot‘s pool, “Favorite Wielder of the Force?“. Very very funny, at least to a Starwars fan.

I’ve just received an email, documenting someone’s support call on installing this new piece of software called ‘Love 2.0′. I happened to download the Linux version of the same software from somewhere, and it appears to work similarly to its Windows counter part.

I did some search on the Google today, and landed on this funny piece of geek humour: This has been percolating in the back of my mind for a while. It’s a scene from The Empire Strikes Back reinterpreted to serve a valuable moral lesson for aspiring programmers. Exterior: Dagobah — Day With Yoda strapped [...]

I recevied this simple illustration from an ex-coursemate mine, on how different stages in a software development life cycle sees the project itself. Can’t agree more…

There is an interesting satirical article on blogs4God.com titled “Microsoft Bids to Acquire Catholic Church“. Basically, it is a news report on how Microsoft is trying to acquire the Roman Catholic Church. This merger between the software giant and Vatican-based religion will grant Pope John Paul II a seat in the combined enterprise’s Religious Software [...]

Digging though my old emails again today and found this email joke sent to me in 1997 from a course mate of mine back then. Assembler programs are written with short abbreviations called MNEMONICS, in other words instead of writing GOTO, the programmer writes JMP or even BRA (branch). These instructions are frequently abbreviated into [...]
