"There are system administrators, and there are System Administrators". Man, this statement has never sound so apt before.

Oh man, was about to go to bed when I saw this amazing video! It has been a long time I have been amazed by something like that. I think this trumps even our national day parade display...

Oh man, long overdue update

Tue, 07/24/2007 - 08:07 - jmarki | |

Oh man, this is a long overdue post. Sorry sorry, got too busy to blog these few months. So, a quick update:

After my graduation trip, I almost immediately started working as a system administrator in one of the research labs in National Cancer Centre. Job title: Bioinformatics Network Analyst. I am not sure where the "network analyst" title came about though... Anyway, I'm the only person maintaining the servers in a Solaris + Linux + Windows environment. 1 person "bao ga liao" == OT! OT! Sigh... More details about my job in another post...

Malaysia Trip 2007: Day 1, Genting Highlands

Wed, 06/13/2007 - 13:51 - jmarki | |

Wah, my blog entry on Day 0 has generated an furore of comments. Analysis of how my writing style reflects my personality, how EU's style of writing mirrors mine were discussed. There's even speculation of why EU and I decided on chronological order ("Is it a conspiracy?" "Why so long-winded one?"). Now now, I like to remember events, so I like to write in chronological order. That's all....

I am now waiting for a job offer; been told I've been selected, but they need time to sort out my pay package. It's has been 2 weeks though. Should I send out more resumes now? Sigh...

Clearing a mountain of backlog

Tue, 05/22/2007 - 14:18 - jmarki | |

Wah, 11 days away, and I have over 400 emails to clear... Read them until my eyes go O.O

Then I found out I have several system maintenance to do, like updating this site, and the linuxNUS sites. Geez...

Hmm, my friends are inviting me to go camping on Thursday and Friday. Another group is planning a gathering on Friday night. NUS CIT is doing an IVLE testing on Thursday too. Arrgh!! Schedule conflict!!

I'm back!!

Mon, 05/21/2007 - 13:20 - jmarki | |

I'm back!! Took a 12 hour ride from Penang, very very tired. Will post pictures and account when I wake up. Smile

Malaysia trip!

I will be going to Malaysia till next Sunday! Whoopee!

First stop: Genting
Second stop: KL
Third stop: Not sure
Fourth stop: Penang

Happening right? Poor blokes have to tour Malaysia as graduation trips... Laughing out loud

Anyway, I'm resisting the urge to bring my laptop along. The geeky tendency of hugging a laptop everywhere one goes has seemingly subsumed me. Whahahahahahah.... I will resist!!!

Maybe I'll stave off my Internet Withdrawal by blogging about the trip at Internet cafes somewhere. See how it goes lah...

Weird dream

Had a very weird dream today about NUS having an epidemic outbreak. Went around hiding from people just in order not to get infected.... Very weird....
