I finally got to force myself to do something about this domain name which I purchased sometime ago. Well, setting up a Linux server and spending some time configuring Apache is a breeze especially with most of the new Linux distributions now coming with a bunch of applications usually pre-configured. With the help of "linuxconf", on the latest Mandrake Linux 7.2, it's neat, tidy, simple, fast and easy! Soon, gone will be the days of command-line editing on term-consoles. Those poor geeks will start hating the GUIs users!

So now that this site is up, I hope to achieve more than just this simple dead site by Q1 next year as I will be on vacation soon to rest my mind and refocus my mind on myself, my surroundings, my family, relatives and all my friends whom I have lost contact with for the past 14 months that I have been working for my current employer, WizOffice.com

Many people asked me, "Why have you been so busy at work?" and my only answer is, this company which I joined is young and it is like a newborn baby that needs feeding, grooming and a lot of nurturing and I am proud to admit that I was head-hunted for this position to head the Information Systems Dept.

While I am saying all this, my bosses are already working on with their new ideas, penetrating new markets and growing the company in Asia to new heights. Now that we have operations in 5 countries in Asia-Pacific and listed on the mainboard of Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX), we have to work even harder to prove to the weak market sentiments and prognosis of the analysts which is going against dotcoms and technology companies.

Well, that's the pace when you work in a dot.com. You need to capitalize what you have now while you are hot and capture the market while you are still sizzling because that is the only way to stay on-top of what you have built.

That's all for now and I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and a Happy New Year. Let's all hope year 2001 will be a better year for dot.coms before it turns out to be the dot.bombs for technology companies.

Strategic Plan vs. Operational Plan

Strategic Plan Vs. Operational Plan: Do You Know the  5 Main Differences ? What's the difference between a Strategic Plan vs. an Operational Plan? Both are plans but are they the same? If not, what’s the difference? Do you need both? Why do we need both?  After mentoring Start-Ups from pre-revenue to achieving at least S$1M in revenues since 2012 and supporting growing Small-Medium Enterprises within the S$4M to S$10M range revenues, whose leadership teams are stuck in their day to day operational matters and fire-fighting, I hear these questions frequently.  My response: A  strategic plan  outlines your Vision, Mission, Core Values to build the Culture with high-level goals for the next 3 to 5 years. It also takes into account how you’ll measure those goals, and the major projects you’ll take on to meet them. An  operational plan  (also known as a  work plan ) is an outline of what each of your business d...
Why Data Backups Are So Important Our computers, smartphones, personal digital assistants, MP3 players, operating systems, and software are tools that we use to create and manipulate the content that is the most important aspect of computing - our data. Without your personalized data, the computing experience will be mundane and very generic. We need to be able to create in order to really feel good about what we’re doing. Many times people don’t realize how important their data is until it’s too late. I have see customers whom says, why do I need to spend $3,000 on a tape backup system just to archive, copy another instance of my data and then keep it? I’ve seen way too many people treat their hard drive’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet, and they’ll just pile anything and everything that they can find into an endless collection of files and folders that will be very difficult to make sense of in the future. The whole point of technology should be to simplify our lives instead of comp...
