Nostalgic Journey - 3 September 2003

It's BIG , it's SoBig.F !! Hey .. check it out ! I've got my FIRST W32.Sobig.F@mm infected email

Don't believe it ? Here's the proof .
Once again , I woke up in a wonderful morning facing the day . Today was filled with
journeys , which gave me a lot of realisation . It was funny , though . I was a bit confused
which bus to take when heading to Joan's place . I missed 3 of the buses that she told me to hop on ,
but after all , I managed to take one , and enjoyed the ride . It's true that I've never visited KL area
near Jalan TAR and Jalan Raja Laut . People said that the place is a bit complicated , so I didn't use
to go there . Seriously speaking , this is the first time I learn where Jalan Raja Laut is . I used to
listen about this street , but didn't have a chance to have a peek on the location .
Traffic was okay today , and the journey feels like a minute . Yes. It took me less than 20 minutes to reach Joan's
place . I was mesmerized while listening to my MP3 player until I nearly missed the bus stop . Reached
at her place at about 12 pm and she was just awake that time . Taught her VB today , and had a great time
chatting with her . I felt so happy today because it's been a long time since I had a long chat with her .
She made me realize a lot of things about life . I let myself alone to think for a while , and after that , I don't feel alone .
At least there is still someone who share the same 'movie' of my life . I do admit that , even though we felt so sucked
with our life , having to face a lot of difficulties growing up , but I still believe that magic and miracles do
happen in our life . It feels kind of weird ... , the ups and downs of our life goes cyclically . Many feelings came to myself
today . Sometimes I felt touched , and sometimes I felt happy . She did told me a lot of things about what friendship is .
She educated me a lot today . I'm so touched , again .
Okay , Joan's aside . I was kind of disappointed today when KL Monorail was closed at 3pm today and I can't have a first glance
on the service . Guessed I have to wait until exam is over . Now to the technology front . The SCO ( Santa Cruz' Operations ) controversy
has been the hottest and sizzling news debated in the technology world . And the most disappointing statement is that ,
if it is true that Linux has stolen UNIX's code for let me see , 9 years , and SCO's gonna charge all its user for the license ,
I guessed , then it would be true that , all new PC's won't even stand a chance to make a humble choice for free software alternatives .
What a laugh . But could you ever imagine if Linux would someday have the same fate as the XWEBS browser ? And , if Linux's Open Source
policy has turned into a deadlock LOCKED piece of software like Micro$oft's Windows XP , then Linux won't have a chance to be secure enough
and ended up to be a OS which lies the same fate as XP .
