Here's a nicely laid out read for the "creative" developer in us. When it comes to coding, it all really boils down to KISS.
Elizabeth Wong offer resignation
on Tuesday, 17 February 2009
Quoted from the Star, "Selangor executive council member and Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong, whose nude photographs are being circulated, has tendered her resignation from both posts, but party leaders have yet to accept it."
A rather sad turn of events. Is this really a politically-motivated smear campaign? The sentiments these days will usually elicit a "yes" answer, even from those who normally sit on the fence. Sure, it could just be a personal revenge done by a single individual. But the fact that many big names (most especially the men) did not outright condemn such a despicable act is by itself, a politically-motivated reaction to distance themselves from the victim. By not affirming and condemning the act as despicable and trying to avoid the issue by mentioning something else, I personally feel that they have insulted all women. "It is despicable to distribute nude photos of a woman without her consent." What is so hard or so politically-incorrect for them to say that?
But these are minor infractions compared to those who seem to love faulting the victims. What? So if I choose to sleep nude and someones snaps photos without my consent and distributes them without my consent, it's still my fault? I strongly suspect that these people also blame rape victims for getting raped, and robbery victims for getting robbed. You know what's really ironic? These people brandish "moral" as their reason.

Experian Walk-In Interview
on Monday, 16 February 2009
Experian Malaysia is holding a walk-in interview in the Gardens Hotel at Mid Valley City this Thursday (19th Feb). Check out the link for where to submit the application (of course, if you know me, you better send the resume to me instead *hint* *hint*). Yeah, it's a little too short a notice, but hey, at least I remembered enough to post.
