Another awesome event has ended. i think if there's a word for extreme awesomeness invented, i'd use that too.

(beware: these pics are stolen. viewing it means youre a part of the bandwidth stealing conspiracy)

Ok. U know what? Take a look at this:



That, my friend, is the PLUS highway. For those of you who didn't know what's a PLUS, I'm sorry for you. And, notice these pics:

Taken near the old Nilai interchange
Somewhere near Seremban also

and

Near Tangkak, Melaka.


Notice what's wrong with these two? This:



LAMP POST. Yes, a damn lamppost. Only from the KL to Seremban stretch went blessed with unlimited artificial sunlight. I think that's why they still named it KL-Seremban highway instead of a unified PLUS highway (unrelated: see Barisan Nasional losers for having the same concept in their party).

Also, I noticed that the KM distance marker on the mid road is provided from KM 1, but the side markers are provided starting from KM 100.

PROTIP: you can actually arrive faster by drafting to the lorry/bus, but its very safe dangerous.


Ok. I went somewhere around 4.30am, after chatting with izni the actual took off time is at 5.00am something but, meh... Because of the amazing night scenery of kampung and palm oil trees nothing, plus the damn freezing night fog, I went very veeery slow, and actually realizing that at 8.00am I'm still at Tangkak (I should be arriving at 9.00am because I'm a volunteer), I actually sped unnecessarily. I stepped in at Level 29, Menara MSC Cyberport at 9.30am (imagine the horror of speeding)

The first sign that shows me I'm not lost anyhow anyway

So, I met with Davy, who is in charge with the registration. Popped up my laptop. Shared the registration file with me via Google Docs (oh the glory of having some company hosting my files). Since the initial sharing, the registration went like normal dual core.

I didn't took breakfast and lunch. Too busy with the registration works (its a valid reason, despite doing ultimately nothing but socializing).

There are LOTS of geeks, nerds, basement dwellers, emofagweb coders wandering around like mindless zombies between sessions. Ah, I feel so secure because I havent seen any Apple fanboys (except for a few iphone nerds). I didn't spot any Linux distro hovering inside their laptops besides Fedora (gaaahh!! too much of GNOME) and mine's BackTrack.

lul, its a nice venue indeed. Thanks MSC Cyberport

lul, its a nice evening coffee break indeed. Thanks MDeC (and also the caterers)

Proof that we can actually smell Singapore from here

Nerds discussing about the possibilities of doing any XSS attack on the BarC

Another flock of nerds discussing of the possibility of dividing any number to zero

These are actually the group which is not a nerd at all. What made it worst:they're people who are not a human actually werewolves

A normal scenery of lost geeks

He is seriously screwed at this time

Having fun smelling Singapore from a 29th floor

They're actually learning something there, amirite?

This geek has advanced to a OVER 9000 godlike level because of attending an event shit nobody cares of so incredible that later he became an interwebs hero

Aisyah's seal of approval

1337 hackers conference, foobar-like, anyone?


Ah, I wanna blog moar, but I have to go back now. Unlucky that I can't attend today's (2nd day) version of BarCampJB.

I actually showcased Dave about the wireless security vulnerability while eating with him. Showed him how easy to steal a cookie from an unsuspecting someone. If the next BarCamp appears, things I wanna present:

- How to build a Hackintosh
- How to become a super nerd by hacking wirelessly

IRL, these people, who have nicknames scattered across the interwebs, are actually IT professionals. It's very nice to meet them.

Hope to see them again somehow :)
