While browsing on the web today, I have noticed that my press interview on previous computer forensics project called FIRST is republished in the redOrbit website. We use to run the download server for the project until our funder decided to transfer the IP to its new owner.
Just to bring my readers up to speed…
Manchester United = 2008 UEFA Champions League Champion
David Cook = The 7th American Idol Winner
and I’m sure you guys already knew this..
Typically this entry is very much relevant to most Malaysian, but it may also apply to the people from countries that share similar time zone or at most plus minus of the GMT.
Yesterday (22/05/2008) morning was actually a rather unusual morning for me. Driving to the office while in sleeping + awaking mode. The output of staying up very late watching the UEFA final between Man Utd and Chelsea. The live telecast started at 2am (but the game started around 3am) and ended somewhere around 5.30am. It was a very interesting final.
2008 Champions!
Anyway.. to keep me awake while driving, I’ve tuned my stereo to one of the local radio station MIX.FM. As usually the morning crew will put up a topic to be discussed. Coincidently, of one the hosting DJ (Pedro) was described very tired and sleepy. He also watched the final game. On the other hand, two other co DJs (Ika & Serena C) whom both actually nice looking ladies were commenting on Pedro’s behavior.
David Cook Ultimate Night!
Then Pedro said he is very much sleepy and claimed that the UEFA final should be an acceptable and a very good reason to tell your boss that you are going to be late. But of course, for many women who not so into football/soccer, such lame excuse is very childish. If such excuse is acceptable, Ika + Serena C were suggesting that watching American Idol’s David Cook (that happened to be aired during prime time around 10pm) is also a good lame excuse for showing up work late. In other words, guys use the UEFA final while gals using David Cook as reason of excuse. The debate pretty much heated up, and they opened the topic for their callers for inputs.
My opinion is I have to agree with Pedro because this event only happened 1 in 1000. Why? It is because there is no guarantee that Man Utd will go against Chelsea in the next coming final. Who is going to watch if AC Milan vs Real Madrid (unless you are Italians or Spaniard). Malaysian are so much into the English especially if it is involves Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool. In addition to that, I never come to work late if watching something between the prime time. Who does that anyway?
So if you are a Malaysian.. state your comments. If you are not, please do so too.
After reading hundreds of other people blogs, I have decided to come up with my own. Diligentcode.com used to be my portal to sell my shareware software for additional income. It used to do that, but then the demand and sales are almost stand still. I guess my shareware are pretty much outdated and currently I am more interested to write open source rather than closed source. But Im still maintain the website for supporting my existing customers.
A very big thanks to the EXABYTES support team for their help in assisting me on installing WordPress blog engine on my hosted system. After configuring it for hours, I have decided that my blog will have the simple theme. Easy to navigate around.
Never the less, Im still familiarizing myself with wordpress. When Im fully comfortable with, I will starts blogging and blogging.
