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 :)

so, today. Microsoft sent me a hate mail love letter. The letter was written OVER 9000 4 days ago, which is the 2nd. I duno. For those of you who didn't know what's a Microsoft:

Microsoft, (moar like Microsux, Amirite?) was founded by Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler, but, after his death, the owning title of Microsoft was handed down to his Germany superior Bill Gates. After Gates' acquisition of Microsoft, he made it more Nazi-like than even Hitler did. He has programmed several good insane versions of Windows, such as Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, and Vista.

Ok. here's the love letters:

OMG I'm a Managing Director of SysStream? they must'v got this information from Al-Qaeda

It's so secret that even the mailman thinks that its a new type of cancer

They're so serious even they embedded a lulz inside this letter (can u spot it?) (PROTIP: why so srs?)

Microsoft Legal and Corporate Affairs? moar like TPM College's Administration and Students Affair, amirite?

The signature itself is made of pixels. Which means... OSHI--



Ok. Now, I met a Microsoft hero. What to do? Relax.. follow these simple steps:

- Slap him/her in the face multiple times. Then do it again just to make sure she gets the point.
- Keep your eyes tightly shut, lest you pass out from the horror of seeing him/her face.
- Stand very, very still. It is believed that Microsoft people can only see movement (see:dinosaurs).
- If the person touches you, INSTANTLY summon your calculator and quickly divide any number by zero. This ensures an winrar implosion of the entire universe and guarantees you to become an internetz hero.
