Network Down

All the network elements, such as mail server, internet and etc. for my company had been downed the whole morning. It was started since Friday evening. Staffs here always bemoan the downtime for our network systems are longer since the setup of IT unit. I was making a joke to one of the IT staffs before that. “You are the one who purposely created the network problem and solved it after all.” FP/ATM system is improved after switching to round-robin with preemptive scheduler. Probably, there are certain tasks that consume too much processing delay and defer the other tasks for too long.

Khai Loon and Liza came back from HK and Taiwan respectively on last Saturday. I just had a strange feeling that both of them were actually back from China. Is it a sensitive statement? I don’t think so. After all, we spent most of our time hanging around in café and restaurant before sending Liza to KL sentral. Later, watched the derby match and it’s a terrible performance by ManU. Time to change! Please pack up yourself, Ferguson! Ended up in Wakiki Bar in Petaling Club with Jinho (who manages to introduce this bar after a date with a German girl) and my old schoolmate, Kok Theng, same primary school, same secondary school and same university…..He said that he will marry soon since he is getting older. And Jinho met his neighbor who spent almost all the night playing pool. KT said that my life is almost same with him. Anyway, bless KT good luck….

Reunion dinner in Dema house yesterday. A “huge” number of UPM students attended the event. The agenda of the day was the sharing section for out friends who went to join the “Junk WTO” in Hong Kong. Get a book from K.Loon on “Football Analysis”. The author of the book is an associate professor in HK University. He wrote a very comprehensive view on EPL and also the relationship between football and politics. I can say that it’s much better than our local Chinese press but http://www.soccernet.com/ seems to have more detailed analysis.
