Long time...

Yes, In the past year which I am not active at advogato, I discovered a few things :-

  1. SARS is the modern pandemic for us
  2. Java is *clean*, compared with my beloved PHP
  3. Hongkong is dead, for at least Software development and tourism.Thanks to the impotent Government
  4. Windows XP is my preferred desktop
After graduating with a biology degree, I will start off a Master in computer science immediately.I am sure I can sequeeze some times to contribute to some cool projects.

Microsoft said this week that it had donated $10 million in cash and technical services to support the relief and recovery efforts in New York and other areas affected by the tragic events of Sept. 11.
