My wife and I visited a group of friends recently and we inadvertently talked about future and retirement. One point of interest was that in Malaysia, people are normally forced out of work and into retirement, while in the UK, quite a lot of people, especially knowledge workers, continue to work past their 60s. This…
I remember attending a talk about 10 years ago where this founder said that he tracked everything, from the calories to the duration of his exercise, because he read from a book, that what you tracked, will get better results. I don’t remember the book but I will get AI to find it for me….
I went to Aldi yesterday, on a Sunday, and it was so full that I had to circle round the parking lot twice just to find a parking spot. That is very unusual in this part of UK, if not everywhere in the UK. I went inside, picked up my items and went to the…
I’ve subscribed to chatGPT premium or whatever it is called that you have to paid, so I am making use of it. I’ve previously asked it to translate and transliterate a Korean song, and it was quite useful. It collected all the notes from websites that do all the lyrics, and put a ‘human’ touch…
I felt a bit slow today while working, in the sense it took me quite a long time to digest certain part of my work. I also joined a study group and by the end of it, I was partially lost. My colleague who conducted the study group blissfully explained points that I was struggling…

My 5 years old has been playing games on a laptop for a while, and she has also played a few times on a desktop connected to a monitor. On other times, I use this monitor too as an extended monitor, connected to my laptop. The setup is the laptop opened, with its screen extending…
I was tidying up my digital desktop when I found videos from my old days, 13 years ago to be exact. I was explaining to my friend how I won a phone, and said he was the umpteenth person I had to relate the story, so he jokingly recorded me explaining it. The video still…
I paid for ChatGPT Plus recently and since it’s for a month, I am trying to use it at every useful moment. So I begin to some mini coding projects, putting prompts to create some kind of automation. My wife asked what I was doing and whether I know how to code now. I said…
Such a dull title. I’ve used to have a system or tried to have a system to manage my inbox, but then I saw a friend of mine who had 10,000+ notifications on the Gmail app icon, I started to relax. I am not that bad, I thought. I also removed the number on the…
