Here’s a preview of Google Wave, an amazing piece of technology by Google.

This system really changes the way we communicate, and how we interact with the blogger, the commenter, the bystander and even the silent one. Should be publicly available early next year!

And today’s SIB service was good. We the cell were the hosts, and it was quite a nice experience. People were nice, and the food thereafter was decent!

And Telok Gong dinner was awsm.

Furthermore, Chelsea’s defeat and our slim victory brings Man Utd back to the top of the Table.

‘Grats to Arsenal too who is slowly climbing up the board.

Here is Lukas’ go kart experience earlier this month!

I learnt 3 things:

1. Video compression takes a lot of firepower. Rendering a 640×480 10 minute video takes about 40 minutes. No effects or editing whatsoever. Need Quad Core processors soon :) hehehe….
2. Streamyx is fast. I averaged 48KByte/sec upload throughout the 55MB upload. Amazing consistency. As for downloads, I can touch 160KB/s, and average 140KB/s. Oh, there’s no caps.
3. Solid State Drives (SSD) are very fast. By multiple factors. Like loading Win Vista takes 70 sec on a fast Core i7 system. But with SSD, that process completes in under 10 secs. Cons: Rm 1200 for 120GB?
