Jan in Malaysia

The need for speed... Streamyx Malaysia speed good results today, I'll wait a bit longer before switching to Wimax.

Take a look (still using streamyx at home, doably okay).

streamyx speedtest, no so far off from Wimax... and within reach..

See on the left what the P1 guys showed me on the Picom Kuala Lumpur PC fair while using www.speedtest.net. big picture here.

Now back to reality of my home usage. I am currently using a combination of Izzi Mobile broadband (connected to the same network) and streamyx as backup-line.  I went to the PC fair earlier this week, P1 has a nice solution for Wimax in Kuala Lumpur, but they stated on their booth that the solution is not commercially available yet (which makes me wonder why they are there, followed by the answer that they are there to create awareness). It seemed like they are looking for testers.

But in my case, I live higher than the 10th floor, I won't be able to get any Wimax. Arf... And their USB-Wimax-modem is not available also...

I did see on a test-machine of one of the P1 presenter speeds of over 2000kbps/600kbps. But it remains waiting, waiting, waiting till I see the thing working on my desk. The people who will win in this market are those who can deliver the bandwidth at an affordable price.

The Internet Access Providers who can solve the problem as described below will win victoriously :

Bloggers networking day in Malaysia.

" BLOGGERS gathered for a day of networking and sharing at the second All Malaysian Bloggers Project (AMBP) jointly organised by The Star Online and Cinema Online recently. The project was aimed at providing bloggers in Malaysia a platform to share their thoughts at a get-together instead of just via online communication.

AMBP editor Michael A. Fredericks said its website had a directory where bloggers could sign up and then get invited to attend events. "

My GPS Garmin Nuvi 200 knows where I have been and I can display the data on google earth.

Great. An image speaks thousand words and My GPS Garmin Nuvi 200 knows where I have been and I can display the data on google earth.

This is simply the result of important a GPS (GPX) file into google earth. Very handy if you need to track locations in a simple way.

I simply have to press on the Garmin nuvi to remember a location, give it a name that makes sense for me and then later I know exactly where I saw what, took what picture and how to get there again. Great Stuff. It keeps tracks of my history.

Then you can cross-reference this to your images (via flickr.com or picasaweb). I guess this is called geo-tagging data and make them visible via a blog (like on http://zog.typepad.com/malaysia).

And this is how the Malaysian Ramly Burger is uploaded in google youtube.com video and appears on google earth.  It's all about showing what I saw, tag it with the right location. other link here.

I was watching "CrankyGeeks - Episode 75", when I realized ... it has a widget menu to blog and what would make more sense than putting Skype inside Joost...

How much more fun the internet has become ...

and the above is being suggest by www.joost.com (the widget interface) while I am watching cranky geeks.

They do understand viral/internet marketing there at joost... Looks really cool actually. A pitty it is not integrated with skype. Instead in the chat menu there is gmail... So maybe Joost.com is dancing behind the scenes with Youtube.com/Google to get Skype inside Joost.com ?... Just speculating. But seriously, what would make more sense than putting Skype inside Joost...

No Google AdSense for Mobile in Malaysia.

I Just noticed this on the Google Adsense control panel that there is no adsense for mobile in Malaysia.

Malaysia E-commerce Radar Screen

E-commerce related news and activities in Malaysia covered by the major media.

Eat all you can concept in Malaysia.

Certainly works over here.

It reminds of me the flat-fee-charges by internet providers. Simular concept. Your stomack can only take a certain volume. It’s the same with internet bandwidth. Normal people will never consume the maximum. People also don’t work from home that much over here, it seems. So that limits the amount of time they can spend on the internet. In Belgium I saw different situations, whereby whole neighbourghouds could only do very small things on the internet because some geeks where sucking up all the bandwidth in an area, untill the providers learned to block and throttle…

Identity 2.0.

Great presentation on the issue of online identity : http://www.identity20.com/media/OSCON2005/

Skype:drop.a.url

For those who keep dropping url’s, websites, interesting stuff and notes : please drop it here at drop.a.url. You are all welcome. My main interest is in receiving url’s that related to Skype and VoIP.

Moodgeist for Skype : simply great. See Skype content of other clients web-based

This little MUST-HAVE will send the latest content of of your «mood»-field in Skype to the web. http://www.moodgeist.com/do/view/latest/10/. Smart stuff.

Imagine if this could be use to send the content of the other fields to be made visible on the net. Would be good for Skype Contact Management. Would it work bothways?

I just would not put in the mood-field stuff like «I am now going out for a walk and I’ll be back in 2 hours», which is an open invitation for burglars and other scum.

Well they have a blog : http://www.moodgeist.com/blog/
