DeVO's thoughts

Red Hat is having an APAC tech summit in Singapore main focuses are on the virtualization technology, RHEV and Satellite (at least from infrastructure perspective). I am hoping to update as it goes.

Finally I now have my hands on this phenomenon called “iPhone”.
Since I moved to the consulting group in the company, I had to give up my old number as well as the phone which gave me an opportunity to get a new phone and number. Of course I couldn’t pass the opportunity and bought the iPhone. I had to wait for 3 weeks. But I think it was worth it. I think I got everything setup except 2 things. One I have way too much crap contacts that was generated by the thunderbird + zindus. I wish there is a easier way to edit/delete these so far the cloest thing that found is ipcsuite but requires jailbreaking which I want to leave as the last thing that I want to do. The other thing is getting tethering working with Fedora 11. There are few articles that says it can be done over the Bluetooth however I am having issues with pairing iPhone with my laptop. My guess is something in F11′s bluez package in x86_64 is different from x86. An example is that there was no /etc/sysconfig/bluetooth. If that is the case my dilema is whether to keep the box in x86 and lose the capability to build x86_64 KVM/XEN guest machine but being able to connect Internet at customer’s site without another dongle to carry.

CORRECTION: After rebooting the machine.. TETHERING over Bluetooth WORKS!!!!!

After doing my laundries, I started to read “Lonely Planet” book to figure out where I should go and to sight see.

I wanted to look, feel and experience Hong Kong and Chinese…
First thing that I wanted to see was traditional markets, to me these are the places where people’s life can be seen and felt maximum.
I wanted to take those life in my pictures…

The book recommended a place called “Sheung Wan”, oh well.. I have to say, I am bit disappointed.

So I walked and walked and walked without a map to Admiralty, which is about 2 MTR stations.
Only thing that I could see were luxury shops, well I can’t say I don’t like those, but…. not the ones that I wanted to see TODAY!!!!

Pictures that I took, I don’t like.. sigh..

Overall… I am not happy with today..
Except the fact that I walked for awhile, and sweated good amount which I am happy with

I have arrived in Hong Kong a week ago.

This trip the second official job for myself at the new position.
Oh, now I am officially a “Consultant”.
This is a two and half weeks long engagement.
Living in a hotel room for a week, I am just getting used to the “aircon noise”…

So far, it is intriguing. The surrounding is in the mixture of KR and AUS.

Driving on the ‘right’ side of the road
But, people and culture has bit more Korean flavour than Australian.

Today is the first time that I am going to give myself a time to tour and take some pictures.

So it has been two weeks since I made the decision to move on from one service organization to another service organization.

The basic decision came down to what I want to do in next 5 years, and whether my family is willing to leave everything behind.
If this was about 4 years ago, without Jedi and Jonathan, I may have decided to move.

However, I realized that this is not about myself now.
Of course, this is my life, and I could do whatever I pleased.
However, there is important people in my life, I don’t want them to suffer any consequences based on my decisions.
Whether it is leaving behind what we have built in last year and half and so on.

More over, during last 9 years of being with the company, I moved about 5 times, except the initial move to BNE, everything else was pretty much paid by the company. I started also realized that I am not young as once I was. I felt that “Active Trial & Error & Learn” was the right motto for younger ages than where I stand right now. For me this is more towards a time where I now need to find my feet on a solid ground and be able to grow based on those feet, and be able to provide my family a nice big shadows for them to rest and dwell.

I have told few around me about this decision, but this had to be the hardest decision that I made for my 34 years of life.
And this is a decision that I am so excited to see succeed.

There were a lot of advices but so far the best one that I got was from my mentor, any decision that was made longer than 7 seconds ago is past, and shouldn’t dwell in it. That is right. I have been dwelling on so much of my past. I need to use this opportunity to change myself from “Past Dweller” to “Future Driven” and being able to put 110% efforts in the present.

THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING AND WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ONE!

Well, I guess, due to the lack of interests and what so ever, I have been putting this off for last 2 years.

Finally, I have a proper domain name and proper website+hosting.
Thanks to “Seha”, I stole a part of her domain name
But I am so happy whit this.

I will try to write everything in ENG, but I guess there will be few bits and pieces poping up in Korean.
