So I’m back in Tokyo and back to work. FOWA & London was fun.
FOWA: Geeks. Good conversations. Beer. Could have been better only if I could get wifi working. Speaker lineups were great on both developer and entrepreneur tracks so some of interesting sessions clashed. Looking froward for recorded media. Two workshops [...]
Oi Flickr!, In English, Japanese or Sinhalese? This brought a smile to my face. I like Flickr greeting me in different languages when I sign in. But shouldn’t we be more careful in deploying things like this in internationally used applications? “Oi” seem to have a similar meaning to English in a lot of other [...]
At last Paypal is offering their services in Japanese. God knows how long I have been waiting for this.
They seem to offer all of their merchant services in Japanese as well. Need to compare this with other competitive solutions.
How many living men can make a speech like this about them selves? A speech by Steve Jobs in Stanford University’s graduation ceremony.

Have been working my ass off for past couple of weeks. Definitely need some rest and looking forward to the little outing next weekend. Staring at a monitor whole day doesn’t seem to be a good idea after all.

No need to say that every web shop in the town has a hosted beauty these days. Everybody is building a fancy app, for every imaginable purpose, fighting for my daily limited online tasks (or waiting for the call from Google) . No harm, the strongest & sexiest will get me. But how many of [...]
Yes, I’ve been silent… Past few week have been really ordinary, silent and cold. Except that I visited Tokyo Disneyland last week, which was quite okay and attended a “CSS Nite” at Apple Store, Ginza, where I met Kaz, Haz, … and few more new interesting people. And got to see the Japanese translation of [...]
I’ve never been a programmer and also don’t intend to be one. But I always enjoy playing around server-side stuff since the first time I wrote print “Hello world!\n”;
Last night I found some time to play around with Ruby On Rails, and successfully did a little todo list with Vincent Foley’s help. Do I [...]
Just got an invitation for a Flock developer preview, and this is to test blogging via flock. Here are few screenshots and people seem to blogging about it at a rate of more than one post per minute at this very moment.
Jeffrey Veen’s excellent workshop on “Designing the Next Generation of Web Apps” at WE05 was just ended up couple of hours ago at University of Technology, Sydney. Though the plan was to live blog the event, WiFi was not available at the venue, probably should be because of Jeff’s recent expressions on WiFi at events [...]
At last, yesterday I could find some time to skin my 3rd mockup for this site of mine. Before that I had been working on two other summer themes which I couldn’t find time to finish by the end of summer :D. Any how here I’m online again with an autumn theme!
Still she’s not [...]
