Short, naughty, funny and ridiculously viral. Ditto about the product - I don’t really need it.

Schmidt Wants You to Know Everything He Does
Eric Schmidt says, ”If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”
I am sorry - but just because I am doing things does not mean that I want everyone else to know about it.
If customer privacy is not something that Google respects and upholds, then Google does not deserve all the goodwill that it has built and enjoyed over the years.
Google continues to make more inroads into our lives - including the uber-scary Google DNS. Christine A. Varney - please help us keep the big G in check!

Ah, now all those moments when I get exactly the piece I do not need three times consecutively suddenly make sense.

The (Sexy Asian) KozaK Girl, Youtube and Social Media
One of the most daring locally produced promotional Singapore Youtube video ever. The guys at JamiQ loves it!
Yeah - it objectifies women, has obvious sexual references and show a lot of skin. Still - it has an obvious hook for its target audience, has a viral component and shows clearly the benefits of using KozaK.
Kudos to the guys at ProMedUSA. :)

We tend to take things from granted and assume more than we should.

How-To: Configure Huawei E169 Dongle
I signed up for Mobile Broadband with Singtel and got a free Huawei E169 dongle. It is a pretty powerful thing with a 3G modem, a mini-SD card reader and a emulated CD-ROM drive. Unfortunately, this confuses most systems. Since I don’t really care for the mini-SD card reader or the windows drivers in the emulated CD-ROM drive, this guide will be about how to get the 3G modem to work.
It’s really simple actually but there was alot of trial and error. I’ve tested it on multiple computers and on pro-longed usage. I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 and it works beautifully. It should work with all other systems too. Here are the 3 steps required -
(1) Download the USB Modeswitch. You require this to switch to the 3G modem full-time. Compile it. If you’re on x86 systems and a little lazy, you can download the binary here.
(2) Run -
$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
Run -
$ ./usb_modeswitch -v 0×12d1 -p 0×1001 -H 1
* usb_modeswitch: tool for controlling “flip flop” mode USB devices
* Version 0.9.4 (C) Josua Dietze 2008
* Works with libusb 0.1.12 and probably other versionsLooking for default devices
Found default devices (1)
Prepare switching, accessing latest device
OK, Huawei control message successfully sent.
-> See /proc/bus/usb/devices (or call lsusb) for changes. Bye
(3) Now you can dial up using most dialup software. wvdial works best for me. Here is what I run -
$ wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf
The configuration file reads like this -
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”internet”
Stupid Mode = 1
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Username = NA
Dial Command = ATDT
Password = pass
Baud = NA
Somehow, it managed to detect the DNS servers. For Singtel, they are - 165.21.100.88 and 165.21.83.88. If you are on M1, Starhub or other ISPs and have success with them, please share your experience and configuration settings below.
Hope that helps!

The website of GeekTerminal, Singapore’s favourite geeky hangout, is hacked. See -
(Downloaded at 5pm, 27 March 2007)
Can anyone else confirm this?
Link to GeekTerminal
Link to Source Code of Hacked Page
Notes: Ayyildiz Team is Turkish. Preliminary analysis sees alot of other victims. Most of them are forums or sites using Mambo/Joomla. Is GeekTerminal on the same thing? Source code of the hacked page is very dirty. Firefox couldn’t even handle it. I had to use Opera. See link above. I couldn’t confirm the date/time of the hack.
Do anyone know how we can prevent such hacks in the future? If you do, please leave a comment.
