working late

we have been very busy lately: Kit getting ready for his first solo exhibition which will be held at PKW starting Tue; Sijin becoming as busy as a 'real' teacher; Boon not even being around coz he's so overwhelmed with work and myself doing tons of work on my new laptop.
believe it or not - we are now still in Perumal - at 3am on a Fri night! Kit is being a slave-driver, making sure Ms Kee is doing the binding; Sijin is working on Virtual Marathon and I'm ... blogging.
for you guys who haven't visited in a while, here's a picture of our small fish (the other 3 are still too tiny to get on camera). -Jen.

Isn't it cute?

Just the other day...

Been a busy week, we are preparing with WITA for a "talk series" - called "The Exchange"! Designing the poster.

Lots of reading and finishing the curatorial essay for the ERRATA project.

Did we mentioned the p-10 computer is KAPUT >> Virus-infected. I rescued the data, but still have no time to get it up and going. (HELP anyone?)

I became a skyper - believer ever since the zero-gravity project where we used it.

Then this article came out!
"Here's how they plan to cripple the Vonages and Skype's, according to friends of mine who have spent 20+ years in engineering positions at telephone companies, cable companies and internet service providers. As the phone and cable companies begin offering their own VoIP services in real volume, they plan to "tag" their own VoIP packets so that at least within their own networks, their VoIP service will have COS (Class of Service) assignments with their routers, switches, etc. They also plan on implementing distinct Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for the tagged packets.

Tagged packets get both less restrictive rules for passage and a private highway lane to drive on."

Transmission out! Tien
