Do you really need a DSLR digital camera?
Posted by matblogger in Lifestyle, gadgets on December 7th, 2009
I guess this is a question every wannabe photography junkie keeps asking himself. For many years the good old SLR camera had been the de facto standard for many a professional photographer. Then came along the digital camera in the 90’s which took the photography world by storm and revolutionized it. From being huge clumsy gadgets, these cameras soon started to evolve into sleek sexy gadgets. Now you had a choice to make – is it the standard compact point and shoot digital camera or the DSLR digital camera?

10 great ways to piss your employee off!
Posted by matblogger in General Discussion, Lifestyle on November 28th, 2009
I’ve been wanting to write something really personal on my blog and I guess this is the best time to do it. A recent incident which happened in my life has led me to write this post. Even though I didn’t get to complete my MBA due to certain personal commitments I still have an interest in picking up books on business, motivating employees etc etc. I’m sure there’s a lot to learn from these books. And I’m sure a lot of managers or entrepreneurs would love to read this book and apply it in their daily work life. I guess you can find a lot of material on the Internet on this subject too – like “10 ways to motivate your employees” or “How to build a profitable business”. I’ve been thinking that there should be some reading material on some great ways to piss your employee off since there are so many experts around in this field.

The tallest church in the world – Ulm Minster
Posted by matblogger in Lifestyle on October 22nd, 2009
Today I was chatting with someone on how I would accept a move to Europe in the blink of an eye. It all stems from the positive experience I have had from my travels there. My job requires me to travel quite a bit and I have had the opportunity to visit a few countries during my business visits. Although I don’t like all the countries that I have traveled to, I especially hold my trip to Germany close to heart. I felt very welcome in Germany and although I didn’t know a word of German, people were extremely nice to me and made me feel at home. It was during this trip to Germany that I ended up living just a few hundred meters away from Ulm Minster – the tallest church in the world!

An amazing little known beach at Teluk Kumbar
Posted by matblogger in Lifestyle on September 27th, 2009
After spending countless weekends in KL due to my work commitments I finally had the time to spend some time with the family in Penang. It was a great weekend and boy am I glad we decided to go to the beach. Not just any tourist spots that you would normally find in Penang, but one little obscure beach in Teluk Kumbar. This little town in Penang in known more for its Mee Udang rather than the beach. The beach here faces the open sea and one can look at airplanes landing at the Penang International Airport quite regularly. The beach is quite scenic and free from any kind of water sports, foot massages and tourists too. How do you get to this beach? Very simple… read on!

A disturbing but friggin funny video about Steve Jobs
Posted by matblogger in General Discussion, Lifestyle on September 16th, 2009
Not going to say much here! Walt Mospuppet sure has the hots for Steve Jobs… Oh by the way, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT watch the video at work. There’s a lot of geeky humor in this video, so if you don’t get it you know you’re not one of us. All the same, enjoy the video!

I screwed up on Netmeeting!
Posted by matblogger in Lifestyle on September 15th, 2009
I had a Homer Simpson moment today – I actually screwed up on the most commonly used application at my workplace, NETMEETING! Its really unbelievable how I actually managed to do it though! Ok here’s the thing, I’ve been having serious network problems at my workplace for the past few days. I called up IT last week and they changed some stupid settings on Internet Explorer and it seemed to work fine for two minutes until the support staff put down the phone. I just couldn’t believe my arse luck and I thought its probably going to get better soon. But then the next day I was on leave and tried to login from home. Everything was fine – I mean even though I was logged in via VPN things were smooth. So my assumption was the network was fine at work too.

Guinness 250 years celebration at Mines Convention Center
Posted by matblogger in Lifestyle on September 10th, 2009
After giving a lot of thought I’ve decided to dedicate my blog to a technology+lifestyle blog. I guess that will actually let me share quite a lot more events in my life rather than just mundane topics pertaining to technology, gadgets, geeks, nerds and… (you get the drift I suppose). So my first lifestyle post is actually going to be on my experience at the Guinness 250 years celebration at the Mines Convention Center. It certainly was an event that I won’t forget in a while.
