Another photo of the same event. The same casts... the same missing person. I hurried to another Open Source user meet right after this one. Last day in Penang.. two consecutive meetups.

Since Ditesh is coming for a trip to Penang, he proposed a meet-up
where open source folks in Penang could all get together.

Venue : Subaidah Sungai Dua, near USM (just go along Sungai Dua road
with the USM gate to your right, until you get to a T-junction,
Subaidah is on the right hand side) at the corner of the T-junction).

No agenda or anything, just chat and have some roti canai or teh tarik :)

This is a link to a 9/99 Linux Journal entry.
It's A Conversation with Craig Burton about Business Prospects for Linux. It's a good neutral read.

I want to quit - friendly weblog

hello.
my moodswing masih tak betul lagi... PMS kot. gegege....
i switched off my mobile... from Saturday, May 8... till today.
Switch on pun sekadar nak baca SMS & voice mail. I even changed the 'offline message' to something else... yg lebih 'memuaskan hati'.
Bukan apa.... tak larat nak layan service call. Jap-jap ada call itu la... call ini la.... Unluckily.. I did (terpaksa suatu ketika dulu) bagi phone number kat orang (not my friends circle) and jadinya terpaksa pulak menjawab panggilan dan bergayut kat house phone for hours.
I'm tired.
I'm tired with a life I once chose.
I'm tired with something I'm now stuck with.
I'm tired of running away jugak.

Memang boleh dikatakan tengah running away jugak ni.
I ingat nak tukar bidang lak la... agak-agaknya ada can tak I keluar dari bidang komputer yg selama ini menjadi darah daging ni? Lemaknya dah pejal.
Kolestrolnya dah sukar dipecah-pecahkan. Dan bila dah berlemak... orang lain pun akan seolah-olah menambahlemakkan lagi.

I know what my weakness is. I tak sampai hati nak refuse permintaan orang. That killed me... and I died several times because of that.

One example...
Ada orang offer me to join this one company.. sbg partner. Paid-up (as of now) capital company 50K (only) and I akan ada kepentingan 49%... and I don't have to fork out a penny. There're conditions tho.... I've to sell my soul. No other commitment. I'll not be free anymore. What's money? To some people... it's half (not part) of their lives, some... even more. Me? I'd rather give 'em out to get my freedom... but... it's hard to refuse ppl whom had befriend me. This guy's 47y-o and he treats me as his peer. (He's a Chinese by the way.) I didn't think it'd be this much of a condition. Dammit. It's not the money yg I susah hati... it's the relationship that has been built before. He insisted with his condition. Kalau I refuse, I rasa I'd lose a friend. I lost a lot already and I don't want to add another. :(

If I'm gonna leave this... I know I should also leave my current job, my anything that's related to this guy in any way. Even a software development environment+computer language will be placed in my dustbin of life. People tends to ungkit this and that. I feel the flame already when I told him that it's crazy if I have to give all my time for him. I have 24-hours a day, 1 head, a pair of both hands and feet. I can be at one place at a time only.... and all for this?

I sold my soul to the devil? Tell me... did I?

Hi guys. There were lots of things happening around lately, but as for PLUG, we're on the move to properly register our club with the Registrar of Society (ROS). The name would be changed from Penang Linux User Group to Public Linux User Group to cater with Linux users in other areas as well.

We're planning to initialize the first meeting somewhere next week. There're lots of things planned and I'm really sure that avid Linux users out there will be excited to hear them. No no... No info here. :P

So, if you happen to come across this page and you're interested to join, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 016-4461846 (Steelburn), or mail me at ( knizam at hotmail dot com). I'm sorry. The email address is written like that. Just to fool the spamming email collector bots. I'm not really sure whether it's effective or not, tho. Haha.
