The double net whammy and computer speed episode!
Locations in web form thingys, a huge power outage in Singapore, nostalgia comparing how we thought of computer speeds in the 80s, 90s and noughties, my vintage 200MHz Pentium MMX machine still running, the megahertz myth, building computers from Sim Lim Square, the Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64 and Commodore 1541 disk drive, 6502 chips in everything, TMnet "high speed" monopoly in Malaysia, getting paid to podcast, stalling internet connections driving me crazy!

The somewhat psychedelic after dealing with difficult people episode!
Spending more time dealing with people not problems, university folks moving from Windows to Linux and Mac, university assignments, compulsive famboyism, SQlite, Microsoft C#.NET, squeaky clean OpenBSD, actually finding someone who likes Windows Vista, skies getting dark really fast, comments from Rubenerd Show 241, too many interesting people on Twitter, Twitter traditional news sources (Aussie ABC, BBC News, BBC SciTech, Reuters, Channel News Asia) and personal nuclear missile silos.

The Labour Day forgetting things episode!
ACT ONE: Labour Day in Singapore, sexism you’d be shot down for in Australia, Garfield quotes, mouth clicking is not professional, gorgeous pink sunsets.
ACT TWO: Jimbob finds out what’s wrong, my cat versus dog debate: which one do you prefer?
ACT THREE: Max Brenner restaurant review at the Esplanade, absolutely incredible chocolate! Branches in the US, Singapore, Australia, the Philippines, Israel. Drinking out of Hug Mugs, comparing it to the Starbucks Chantico, Aztec style chocolate goodness!
I took the sunset photos in such a hurry none of them really turned out that well, so I posted a camera-phone picture from Max Brenner’s instead. Sorry folks!
